Chapter 221 Thank Goodness for Mervin
Meanwhile, in Cornell University Hospital in Navelie, Stanley lay on the operating table in the emergency room, covered in blood. Eight surgical experts worked in seamless coordination, attempting to pull him back from the grip of death.
The crucial thing right then was to stop the bleeding. He had suffered a head injury, and his consciousness was already uncertain. The doctors called out to him, but he didn’t react.
All the doctors were in an extremely tense state as they raced against time.
“Melinda…” he mumbled barely audibly with his remaining will, but the doctors couldn’t hear it clearly and were too busy to distinguish it.
In the last moments of his life, she was still the person Stanley wanted to see most.
Outside the door, several of his men waited anxiously. Stanley’s car accident hadn’t been notified to many people, and the executives of the Navelie branch were also unaware, so no one had come.
At Liberty Airfield, passengers came and went in front of the terminal building.
Melinda stood by a tall pillar, taking one last look at the city’s architecture before getting ready to fly off.
Not far away, a shifty-eyed man had been staring at her for a while, and he quietly approached her. Just as Melinda turned around, the man snatched her bag off her shoulder and sprinted away!
“Ah!”
She nearly tripped from his forceful pull. As soon as she regained her balance, she instinctively chased after him.
“Stop! Thief! Catch him! Someone’s stealing! Stop! Give me back my bag! There’s no money inside! It’s full of worthless stuff! You took it for nothing!”
The man glanced back every few steps while running speedily as if he had just stolen a fortune.novelxo.com fast update
Melinda desperately chased after him. Despite being agile, she was still a woman. She watched as he got farther and farther away, feeling anxious and frustrated.
Alas, there weren’t many people who would act bravely and intervene anymore in this age.
Just then, several airport security guards joined the pursuit of the thief.
Mervin, who had just left the airport, inadvertently witnessed the scene and recognized Melinda, and he sprinted after them at once.
Melinda was exhausted, and she stopped while panting heavily.
“Are you okay?” Mervin supported her, seeing her completely worn out.
Melinda looked up when she heard the familiar voice and met the man’s profound gaze. “Quick! Help me chase after the bag! Please! It’s really important to me!”
Mervin let go of her at once and chased after the thief
Having long legs proved advantageous. Mervin quickly surpassed the airport security guards like a long- distance runner, getting closer and closer to the daylight robber.
At that, Mervin increased his speed. As he passed by the thief, he accurately grabbed the strap NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
With a strong tug, he pulled the bag into his hands, sending the thief flying far away!
Then, he took a few more steps forward. Before the thief could steady himself, he firmly grabbed the thief’s collar. “Off to the police station you go! You’ll love it there!” he said, handing him over to the approaching airport security guards.
After that, Mervin jogged back to Melinda, handing her the bag. “See if anything is missing”
“Thank you!” She opened the bag like a precious treasure. The teacup, keychain, jade pendant, photo album… Everything was there.
Thank you so much!” Melinda thanked him sincerely, on the verge of tears.
A hint of a smile played on Mervin’s face as well.
Suddenly, Melinda felt discomfort in her stomach-a pain that made her inhale sharply. She furrowed her brows lightly.
“What’s wrong?” Mervin held her shoulder with concern. “Are you feeling unwell?”
“It’s nothing.” She forced a smile. “What brings you here?”
Noticing she looked really awful, Mervin asked, “Where exactly are you feeling uncomfortable? Should we go to the hospital?”
“I don’t want to go to the hospital.”
“Where are you staying, then?” he asked. “Let me take you there so you can rest.”
