I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Upon hearing the news that Audrey was being resuscitated in the hospital, Spencer was frantic. “Which hospital? How is she now?”

“At the medical center. She’s lost a lot of blood. We don’t know yet; she’s still inside,” Pete’s voice trembled with a hint of tears.

He felt deeply guilty. Audrey had undergone major surgery before and her health was already poor. Falling from such a high step and losing so much blood terrified Pete.

“I’ll be right there.” Spencer couldn’t care less about the people at home. He hung up the phone, turned off the gas stove, and rushed out.

Terrence saw Spencer’s pale face and asked, “Mr. Flack, what’s wrong?”

“Audrey had an accident and is being resuscitated at the medical center,” Spencer said. “I need to get there now.”

Upon hearing about Audrey’s accident, Grandma Sterling also became worried. “How did this happen? Hurry to the hospital. Terry, call a cab. I’m going too.”

No one could wait for news here given the gravity of the situation. Everyone headed to the hospital.

On the way, Terrence remained silent, his hands clenched into fists. His chest felt heavy and anxious, reminiscent of when he rushed to save Meredith at sea, filled with urgency and fear as if racing against time.

There was also an unfamiliar sense of despair, an indescribable hopelessness.

Selene and Harvey shared a car with Terrence, while Spencer and Grandma Sterling took another cab.

Seeing Terrence’s grim expression, Harvey tried to comfort him. “Boss, don’t worry. Maybe… maybe it’s not serious. Don’t scare yourself.”

Harvey quickly corrected himself, almost letting something slip.

Selene didn’t feel much; to her, Audrey wasn’t Meredith but just a stranger. She naturally wouldn’t be concerned.

However, since Audrey was the only one by Meredith’s side when she passed away, Selene wanted to learn some details from her.

At the hospital.

Pete, his friends, and his girlfriend Marie were all there. Pete was impatient; there was no news from the resuscitation room yet, and he was anxiously scratching his head.

When Terrence and his group arrived and saw Pete, Terrence asked sharply, “How is Meredith? What did the doctor say?”

Pete shook his head. “She’s still inside. We don’t know yet.”

As he finished speaking, the door of the resuscitation room opened and a doctor came out. “Are you Miss Audrey Flack’s family?”

“Yes,” Spencer responded first.

In Terrence’s mind, he only acknowledged Meredith; the name Audrey didn’t matter to him.

Spencer asked, “Doctor, how is my daughter?”

The doctor replied, “The surgery was very successful. She will be moved back to her room shortly for observation to prevent post-operative infection. The patient had previously undergone major surgery-both heart surgery and cosmetic surgery…”

When Audrey was taken into surgery, Pete had informed them of these details; otherwise, the doctors wouldn’t have been able to assess her condition properly and it could have delayed treatment.

As soon as the words “cosmetic surgery” left the doctor’s mouth, those who knew Audrey wasn’t Meredith had a drastic change in their expressions and instinctively looked at Terrence.

Grandma Sterling feared that Terrence would become suspicious; Harvey felt the same way.

Pete and Spencer were no longer concerned about these details; they were more worried about Audrey’s safety.

Hearing about the cosmetic surgery made Terrence’s pupils dilate in shock; his expression turned frighteningly cold.

If it had been minor adjustments, the doctor wouldn’t have mentioned it specifically. But Audrey’s cosmetic surgery had been equivalent to a complete face change and had nearly failed twice before succeeding.

Audrey had undergone cosmetic surgery after heart surgery, risking her life in the process.

She had almost died on the operating table but insisted on going through with it because her second chance at life was given by Meredith; she felt she owed it to Meredith to do something meaningful.

Grandma Sterling watched Terrence but didn’t dare say anything.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Until the doctor left and Audrey was wheeled out of the resuscitation room past Terrence, he stood there motionless with tightly pressed lips, saying nothing.

Yet this silent Terrence made Grandma Sterling and Harvey too scared to speak; he seemed like a lion ready to explode at any moment, making their hearts race with anxiety.

Terrence’s gaze followed Audrey but he didn’t move. Spencer and Pete followed her to the ward while Selene, Harvey, and Grandma Sterling stayed with Terrence in the hallway, all watching him and waiting for his reaction.
