The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 763 - 804: Wait for Me, I’m Coming to Save You
"I realized this truth too late; otherwise, Sienna Johnson, that wench, wouldn’t have taken Adrian Desmond away from me."
Paige Desmond looked sympathetically at the obstinate Melanie Carpenter in front of her and mocked, "Melanie, I don’t understand where you get the confidence to think you can steal my brother from my sister-in-law?"
"..."
"In terms of looks and figure, you two are worlds apart..." Paige sized up Melanie, whose appearance was already not as good as Sienna’s and had noticeably aged over the years.
Melanie countered, "Yes! She’s prettier than I am. But aside from being a little prettier, what other strengths does she have?
She’s got a bad temper, isn’t gentle or considerate, and even wants to monopolize Sixth Brother, not letting him marry another wife.
That’s not all; she even dares to show her face in public and do business...
Where exactly is this kind of woman better than me?"
Towards the end, Melanie’s words turned into an unwilling complaint. In her eyes, Adrian chose someone so undeserving over her.
"She might seem worthless to you, but in my brother’s heart, she’s a treasure."
Melanie looked at Paige and laughed, "Soon she won’t be anymore..."
"Melanie, you’re a foolish woman. If my sister-in-law were more ruthless, dealing with a woman like you would be a piece of cake."
"Oh, is that so? But I’m still living well, while Sienna has been taken away by Xavier Young. Oh, I forgot to tell you, Xavier is now a drug dealer," Melanie boasted.
Paige looked at the foolish woman before her with pity, "...Melanie, you’re so stupid it’s laughable."
"..."
"Melanie, do you leave your brain at home when you go out? Do you really think my sister-in-law is so kind to risk her safety to save your father?"
Melanie knew about Sienna’s cunning ways and, thinking about the bet she had with her, began to feel unsure.
"What do you mean?"
"Let me tell you, this time my brother won’t help your Carpenter Family for the sake of my sister-in-law!" Paige looked Melanie up and down, noting her noticeably aged appearance, "The Desmond Family, probably won’t welcome you again."
"Why do you say that?"
"Don’t you understand what my sister-in-law intends to do?"
Seeing that Melanie was hopelessly ignorant even after everything was laid out, Paige had to make it clearer,
"My brother could sacrifice his life to save your father, but not if it means choosing him over my sister-in-law!
If it’s your father or my sister-in-law, my brother will undoubtedly choose her."
Melanie laughed, "...Hasn’t Sixth Brother already made his choice? He chose my father.
Didn’t Sienna initially try to stop their interaction? The two even had a cold war over it. Do you really think I know nothing?"
"My brother may appear cold but he’s warm-hearted; he feels indebted to your father, hence his indulgence of you."
"..."
"Melanie, I know you don’t believe me now. Just wait and see. When my brother wakes up, if your Carpenter Family causes any more trouble, you’ll see if he helps you anymore!"
The surgery room light turned off; Adrian’s surgery was finally over.
Adolph nervously said, "Miss, the surgery is finished."
Paige, no longer in the mood to bicker with Melanie, focused her attention on the surgery room door. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The door opened, and a weary doctor walked out. Adolph stepped forward to ask,
"Dr. Blake, how is Sixth Master?"
"The blood in the abdominal cavity has been cleaned up. There’s no immediate danger, but if Sixth Master continues to be willful, don’t come to me again," Dr. Blake warned.
Dr. Blake was a renowned surgeon in Abyanabad. This time, Adolph had pulled many strings to drag the vacationing doctor from home to operate on Adrian.
"Yes, yes, Dr. Blake, this time I swear on my old bones that I won’t let Sixth Master behave recklessly."
Adrian was wheeled out then, still unconscious from anesthesia. Melanie cried and tried to run towards him but was blocked by Paige.
"Get lost!"
Tearfully, Melanie glared at Paige, "Paige, mind your own business!"
"Listen up, both of you, do not let this woman near my brother’s ward!" Paige instructed Adrian’s new bodyguards.
Ferguson and Maxwell acknowledged her command.
Melanie demanded, "Paige, on what grounds?"
"On the grounds that my last name is Desmond, and I’m Adrian’s sister!"
"But I’m Adrian’s cousin!"
Paige ignored Melanie and proceeded to push Adrian’s bed towards his ward.
...
This time, Paige thought her brother would remain unconscious for a long time, but he unexpectedly woke up by evening.
Paige had been keeping vigil by his side, lightly dozing. Feeling movement, she opened her eyes to see Adrian struggling to get out of bed.
"Brother, you’re finally awake, you scared me to death. I thought you’d be unconscious for a long time again," Paige said, her eyes turning red.
"How long was I out?"
"About five hours!"
"Brother, what are you doing?" Paige stopped him from getting out of bed.
"I need to go to Himakati," Adrian said coldly.
"In your condition, can you rescue my sister-in-law in Himakati?"
"..."
"Do you even know? Dr. Blake said, if you keep messing around, next time he won’t be able to save you."
"I have to find Sienna!"
"Brother, I know you’re very worried about my sister-in-law, but can you calm down? In this state, even if you go, you won’t be able to rescue her and you’ll be in danger."
"..."
"Brother, we need to plan this carefully. Heal first, and then we can..."
Adrian wasn’t listening to Paige at all. "Where’s my phone?"
"I haven’t seen it either. Who do you need to call? Fine, use my phone."
In the past, Adrian would approach Walter Klein with many things, but Walter repeatedly disobeyed orders. After this serious incident, Adrian had lost trust in him.
Adrian used his sister’s phone to call Brandon Potter. Once connected, Adrian said,
"It’s Adrian. I’m at Central Hospital, come see me immediately!"
With that, Adrian hung up. His overbearing nature extended to phone calls too!
Sienna’s number was imprinted in Adrian’s mind; he tried calling her again, but her phone was still off.
Undeterred, he didn’t bother with sweet nothings and just left a simple message:
Wait for me, I’ll come and save you!
