Unrepairable Love

Chapter 785

Henry frowned and lowered his head to look at Ellen’s hand gripping his arm. Ellen’s fingers were white, visibly pained.

“Mom, stop thinking like this. Esme will never be Nancy, and Nancy won’t be better off just because we’re good to Esme.”

Henry didn’t want to shatter Ellen’s dream, but at this point, he couldn’t lie anymore. Ellen needed to wake up, and so did he.

“No. God won’t ignore our kindness to Esme!” Ellen took deep breaths, her face growing paler.

The year Nancy went missing, Ellen almost died. When she woke up, she was despondent for a long time. By the third year of Nancy’s disappearance, Ellen’s condition worsened. Leon suggested adopting a child from the orphanage for Ellen, telling her that being good to this child would lead to finding Nancy. So many years had passed. Leon deceived Ellen, himself, and the entire Russell family.

“Henry, please, let’s find a way to save Esme.” Ellen was on the verge of breaking down.

Henry’s heart felt like it had been stabbed. He quickly lifted Ellen and helped her to the sofa. “Mom, don’t make it hard for me.”

“Henry, Esme is your sister!” Ellen cried.

“Mom, the Russell family has done everything possible for Esme over the years! But if Esme continues like this, the Russell family will be dragged down with her! I really can’t save her!”

As soon as he said this, Ellen’s eyes widened, as if a nerve had been struck. She shouted, “Henry, do you want me to kneel and beg you?”

Henry didn’t know how to respond. Why did Ellen have to make it so hard for him? Saving Esme meant begging Alexander. To Alexander, the Russell family was nothing but dirt. Alexander wouldn’t give Henry any respect!

Ellen was about to say something more when suddenly she felt a tightness in her chest and started foaming at the mouth. Henry was momentarily stunned. “Mom!” Henry’s desperate cries filled the entire villa.

Chapter 785

At Evergreen Medical Center, Henry’s car screeched to a halt. He carried Ellen, shouting, “Doctor, doctor!” The hospital was nearly empty at night. A few doctors in the emergency room were slacking off but quickly rushed out when they heard the commotion. Henry placed Ellen on the emergency bed and collapsed. As he was about to fall to the ground, someone caught his arm and pulled him up.

“Careful,” a familiar woman’s voice said in his ear. Henry turned his head and saw Elizabeth. Elizabeth steadied him. Henry’s heart skipped a beat. He felt embarrassed to face Elizabeth.

“What happened to your mom?” Elizabeth glanced inside, instinctively asking a doctor.

“She got too emotional and passed out. I don’t know why she started foaming at the mouth,” he said.

“I see.” Elizabeth gave Henry a longer look before heading into the emergency room.

Celine had run out of medication, and Grant didn’t have time to come, so he asked Elizabeth to make a trip to the hospital. Elizabeth had just come from the research institute and asked a friend to leave the prescribed medication in the emergency room. That’s why Elizabeth was there. Elizabeth didn’t expect to see Ellen unconscious.

The two walked inside together, and Elizabeth heard someone say, “The patient has a large amount of sleeping pills in her stomach; we need to pump it immediately!”
