Kiss me tender

Chapter 222 (Part One)

Melissa was still listening. However, no one answered the phone. On the contrary, there were messy footsteps, the sound of pushing the shelf, and even someone shouting, "Hurry up!" She vaguely heard her grandmother's crying.

Melissa felt worried. With a frown, she asked, "Mom, what's up?"

After a few seconds, the phone finally responded. It was her mother's anxious voice. "Melissa, where are you now?" "Come to the hospital now. Your father is seriously ill and needs an operation right away. I'm afraid that if you don't come, you will……" Jenny suddenly burst into tears when she was speaking. Melissa heard that voice and thought that Jenny covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying and said, "Come here quickly!"

Hearing that, Melissa became more flustered. She finally knew what she was afraid of. Her hand trembled more violently. She grabbed the phone tightly and asked, "Mom, mom, what's going on now? How is Dad now?"

Jenny couldn't help crying and said in a choked voice, "Anyway, come here quickly!" Then she hung up the phone.

The moment she hung up the phone, Melissa clearly heard her grandmother crying, "Where is Melissa?" "Call Melissa come over. Don't you want to see her even if you are going to die?"

It was a taboo for Melissa to hear the word "death", especially used for her father. Was his condition so serious that he couldn't hold on? She was in a panic and shouted, "Dad --" regardless of the bags on the ground, she directly ran to the street to find a taxi.

Unfortunately, there was no car in the middle of the night. Even if there was a car, it was also a private car. In a panic, she stopped the car. It took her a long time to wait for a car. She quickly got on the car and let the driver rush to the hospital.

The place she lived was far away from the hospital. Along the way, Melissa's hands kept shaking, and she couldn't suppress her inner fluctuation. She knew that her father was seriously ill and she had been worried about him all the time. But after so many years, there was no big problem. He was just hospitalized, recuperating, and even did some small operations occasionally, but it would not be so serious. This time, she heard that her mother and grandmother were so anxious. Was it really bad?

She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if her father died. She seldom went to the hospital to see him these days because of Colin. She was afraid of making him angry. Would it be a mistake? Would her father leave her before she could be filial?

Melissa's heart ached, and she blamed herself. No wonder she cried before she arrived at the hospital.

The driver seemed to ask her, "Miss, what happened?"

After crying for a long time, Melissa covered her mouth and sobbed to say, "Nothing. Please drive faster!" "Master, I will give you more money as long as you take me to the hospital as soon as possible."

After comforting her for a while, the driver sped up for her.

When Colin called, Melissa picked it up. He said happily, "Hello, I'm downstairs now. Why don't you turn on the light? Haven't you returned home yet?"

Melissa replied, "I'm sorry, Colin. I don't have time to cook dinner for you tonight. I'm on my way to the hospital. My father is seriously ill and in a critical condition. He is having an operation now. My mother said she didn't know what would happen tonight. I'm on my way to the hospital to see him!"

Hearing this, Colin's joy disappeared. He said seriously, "Is your father seriously ill?" "Which hospital is it? I'll go and have a look."

Melissa hesitated and said, "You'd better not come over. I'm afraid that the situation will be worse if you come over. They……"

"Who said that we faced your parents together? If I don't go at this time, can I go there when they are not here?" "Tell me which hospital you are in. I will be careful when I go there. If it's not the right time, I will come back."

After hesitating for a while, Melissa finally said, "They are in XXX hospital."

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Colin answered and hung up the phone.

At this time, on the contrary, Melissa was not so sad. She knew that she could rely on Colin, so she didn't feel so weak and lonely. But when she thought of the moment when Colin faced her parents and her mother saw him, she was a little upset and worried.

She arrived at the hospital along with the lost in various fancies and conjectures. After getting out of the car, she hurried to the operating room mentioned by her mother. Perhaps her father had just been sent in, so her mother and grandparents were guarding outside. Her grandfather was pacing back and forth anxiously. Her mother had been crying on the bench, while her grandmother had been holding her and comforting her.

Melissa ran to them and shouted, "Mom, Grandpa, grandma, how's dad? How long has he been in the hospital? What did the doctor say?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She was wearing a fishtail evening dress. The hemline was a little small, and it was not easy for her to run. Besides, she was wearing high heels, so it was very difficult for her to run over, but she still tried to run until she arrived in front of them.

Jenny and her grandmother stood up and said at the same time, "Melissa!"

After taking a look at them, Melissa held her mother's hand and asked, "Mom, how is dad?"

Jenny cried and said, "I don't know. I'm in a mess now. I don't know what will happen to him." Then she burst into tears.

Later, her grandfather told the situation to Melissa, which meant that Paul's mood fluctuated these days, and he even lost his temper several times. Paul had been in the army for many years and had wounds all over his body. When he was framed to fall off the office, he was so angry that he had a heart attack. All the diseases attacked together. In addition, he had been depressed all these years and had a grudge against that matter, so his condition did not get better. Recently, he was very unhappy about the things happened between Melissa, Colin and Miss Linn. He was so angry when he heard a rumor.

He had been ill for a long time, and there would always be a time when he would lose his temper. Besides, this time, he was pissed off by Melissa.

Jenny took Melissa's hand and said, "I don't care what you and Colin are doing outside, but from now on, you have to break up with him. Especially when your father wakes up, you have to promise him that you won't get involved in the Ling family's affairs from now on and don't take away Linn's fiancé!"
