Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2179

Lily let out a muffled cry. Her eyes rolled back in her head, her fingers twitched, and foam began to form at her mouth.

Alyssa held her breath. It looked like an epileptic seizure or a stroke.

Overwhelmed with remorse, Alyssa realized her sharp words had triggered Lily's breakdown and subsequent illness. If anything happened to Lily because of her, the weight of regret and self-blame would be unbearable. It would haunt her forever.

Alyssa immediately called for a caregiver. However, the doctor in the nursing home's infirmary lacked expertise. All they could do was call for an ambulance.

"Oh, dear heavens... What should we do? Watching Lily have such a painful episode pushed the caregiver to tears. "Even with an ambulance, the nursing home is too far from the hospital. She won't make it in time!"

*Call for an air ambulance." Sweat formed on Alyssa's forehead. Determinedly, she declared, "I'll do my best to buy time, so she can get to the hospital in time."

The caregiver tasked someone with calling for an air ambulance immediately. He worked with Alyssa to move Lily's stiff body from the wheelchair and lay her on the ground. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

Alyssa lifted Lily's eyelids, gave her basic medical attention, and conducted a preliminary evaluation. Her heart pounded with growing suspicion.

Lily's symptoms suggested an acute episode, but the dark purple tinge on her tongue and faint red spots on her arms were unusual. Without testing equipment, Alyssa could only focus on easing Lily's pain.

15 minutes later, a helicopter landed in the nursing home's backyard, its strong winds startling the swans into flight.

"Mrs. Schmidt, hang in there!" Alyssa pleaded, her anxiety mounting. She and the medics lifted Lily onto a stretcher and into the helicopter.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Ahh-" Lily clung to Alyssa's hand, as if it were her last lifeline.

Tears streamed down Lily's face. She tried to speak, but the words wouldn't come.

"Don't be afraid. I'll stay with you. I'll keep you company!" Alyssa was overwhelmed with remorse. Seeing Lily in such pain was tormenting her.

She accompanied Lily and the medics in the helicopter. As it lifted off the ground, a sinister whisper reached her ear. "Hello, Lyse."

Her chest tightened as she turned to face a pair of smiling yet chilling eyes.

The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, followed by a cool sensation.

Immediately after that, her vision became a blur. She lost consciousness and slumped into the man's arms.
