Winning Her Heart Back

 Is Your Body Failing Altogether

William quickly withdrew his hand and went to the river to wash it.

The blood in his palm disappeared almost instantly as it melted into the river water.

Emelie followed him and watched as he stifled a cough, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

She noticed that he seemed thinner.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

It was late March, and the weather had warmed up. Yet his clothes weren't particularly light. Beneath the facade of the servant's uniform, he wore a simple black turtleneck.

The collar pressed against his throat, slightly accentuating his Adam's apple. When he bent, his backbones were clearly visible.

Emelie had a rough idea of his physical condition.

The tumor in his lung had been there for more than three years. He hadn't needed surgery in the past few years. However, things had gotten worse in the past year, so an operation was an option, even though he hadn't gone through with it.

She thought that someone as self-centered as he was would definitely have an operation if it were necessary. Since he hadn't, it must not have been that serious.

But now it was clear that things weren't as she had thought.

Emelie asked, "Is your body failing altogether?"

William laughed dismissively. "I was just running too fast. How is that failing? Have you forgotten that I just took on three men? Ms. Pierce, be kind and stop cursing me."

Emelie stared at his pale lips for a few seconds before saying, 'Go to the hospital."

"Now? Right now, our priority is to get back to Cedonia as soon as possible. Everything else can wait until we're back."

Emelie replied coldly, "Do you want me to take your ashes back to Cedonia? We're leaving now."

She had made up her mind, and they were off to the hospital. Emelie looked up at the source of the river and saw that they were in a remote area with no road signs.

She asked, "Do you have your phone?"

William handed her his phone. He was not worried about what she might find on it. "The password is your birthday.'

Emelie gave him a quick look before unlocking the phone. Noticing that the battery was below 20%, she switched to power-saving mode before opening the map to search for the nearest hospital.

It was eight kilometers away.

They had no transport, and it would take about an hour and a half on foot. However, given their current physical states, it would be good if they managed to reach it in two hours.

Emelie removed the white apron from the servant's uniform she was wearing, making it look like a plain black dress and something less conspicuous. "Let's go."

"Do we really have to?' William asked again.

"Or we can part here," she said.

What kind of option was this? Thus, William had no choice but to follow her.

It took them two and a half hours to reach the hospital.

Before entering the examination room, William handed Emelie his bank card. 'I saw a bank downstairs. Withdraw some cash to keep on hand. We'll need it."

Emelie didn't have any money with her. In their situation, they would have to spend at every turn. Thus, she nodded and left

William waited until she was downstairs before entering the examination room. He explained his situation to the doctor and held out his arm for the nurse to take some blood.

Then, he spoke to the doctor in clear Faldorian, "Please make it quick. Finish the examination before my lover returns.'

He didn't want Emelie to know the details of his condition.

The doctor quickly finished the examination and said, "You should have surgery as soon as possible.

William replied calmly, 'I know, but it's not convenient at the moment.

The doctor was puzzled. 'What could be more important than your health?"

William rolled up his sleeve. After taking several vials of blood, his elbow felt stiff. He massaged it gently but didn't answer the doctor's question.

Indeed, nothing was more important than his health except for one person.
