Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 579

"Does your hospital have no competent doctors except for my sister? Why is it always my sister who has to save the day? What are you other doctors doing?"

Alger and Celeste were drawn in by his raised voice, their eyes flicking towards him.

Even Serena seemed surprised. For as long as she could remember, she had never seen Clark lose his composure.

Kenneth hadn’t expected Clark’s younger brother to be so temperamental. Clearly, the girl inside meant a lot to him.

"Sir, we would never neglect our patients if we had even the slightest confidence in treating them. It’s just that the patient’s condition is too complex. Let us communicate with Dr. Rose and see when she can come over."

"My sister is not a doctor at your disposal! She hasn’t received a dime from you! On what grounds are you calling her over? Don’t you have other doctors? Can’t anyone come up with a better solution?"

"I apologize, sir. I understand your feelings, but the patient is still in there. She can hear your voice."

Clark swallowed his rising anger once again.

"Please be patient. We will call other doctors to discuss this," said the male doctor, bowing slightly before turning to leave.

Clark felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of bad luck. He was afraid he would lose Carol like last time.

He couldn’t imagine how he would feel if he lost Carol again.

Just then, Louisa clicked over in her high heels, giving his shoulder a hard smack.

"This is a hospital. Stop yelling! Mr. and Mrs. Alger are watching—go over and explain the situation!"

"Mom."

"Hurry up!"

Remembering that Crystal was still in surgery, Clark rose to his feet, heading towards Alger, only to be met with a punch to his face.

"Mr. Alger—" Celeste hurriedly stepped forward to intervene.

"My daughter is still in there fighting for her life, and we don’t even know if she will live or die, but you’re worried about someone else!" Alger shook with rage.

Celeste fell silent, feeling that Clark was in the wrong. He owed them an explanation.

"Mr. and Mrs. Alger, it’s my fault," Clark admitted. "Here’s what happened."

Carol’s condition had worsened over the days. She was too weak to visit Logan and Taylor.

She didn’t dare to video call them, fearing they would worry if they saw her condition.

Logan and Taylor likely guessed something was wrong and wanted to visit their daughter at Clark’s place.

They begged their bodyguard leader to take them since they knew Clark’s address.

The leader, unable to reach Carl or Ms. Rose’s assistant Jack, called Clark. But at that time, Clark was too preoccupied with Carol’s deteriorating health to answer.

In the end, the bodyguard gave in to the elderly couple’s pleas and took most of his team to accompany them.

Initially, they had eight cars to protect them, but gradually, four cars disappeared.

"Why did four cars go missing?" Louisa couldn’t help but ask.

"We didn’t find out until later. The people in those four cars received news either about their family members being kidnapped or their close friends being in danger. They didn’t dare to reveal anything and, one by one, they left the convoy."

If they dared to say a word, their families would be gone!

In the end, only four cars were escorting the elderly couple to Clark’s residence. Halfway there, one car was knocked into the river, and another was split in half, leaving the last two to cover the couple’s escape—but they failed. All their men met a gruesome end.

Crystal spotted Logan and Taylor in the car next to hers while waiting at a traffic light.

Years ago, when Carol disappeared, she had tracked Carol’s whereabouts, having photographs of the elderly couple.

While waiting for the traffic light, she sensed danger around the couple and decided to discreetly follow their car.

Her dashcam recorded villains dragging Logan and Taylor out of their car, intending to drag them into an abandoned warehouse. Both Logan and Taylor fought fiercely, which resulted in the villains brutally beating them.

Crystal rammed her car into the villains and opened the car door, intending for Logan and Taylor to get in. But to her surprise, the warehouse doors swung open, revealing a crowd.

In the end, the dashcam recorded her being dragged into the warehouse.

What followed was her client not being able to reach her and calling her secretary instead, who instinctively contacted Clark.

By the time they found the warehouse, three barely alive bodies were lying on the ground, covered in blood. free𝑤ebnovel.com

It was said that when Crystal was found, she was stark naked—her injuries horrific.

Upon hearing this, Celeste fainted.

Alger couldn’t believe that this had happened. His daughter was only trying to do good, yet this...

At that moment, Rosemary noticed that the girl on the operating table seemed to have something to say.

After suturing her last wound, Rosemary leaned over and softly asked, "Crystal, it’s me. Do you want to say something?"

Crystal opened her mouth, struggling to make a sound. "Dad."

"Do you want to talk to your dad?" Rosemary immediately realized. "Wait a minute, I’ll call him in."

Crystal was badly injured—not anesthetized—for fear that she would never wake up. She was still conscious at this point.

Hearing his daughter call him, Alger quickly put on a sterile suit and rushed to her side.

Even though he had seen many ups and downs, when he saw his daughter on the operating table, Alger’s tears started to flow.

"Dad." Crystal barely had the strength to speak. Even this single word took great effort.

"You speak, I’m here. I promise to make those bastards pay—they won’t die a good death!" Alger cried, not knowing how to comfort his daughter. "I will never let them off."

"Let..." Crystal mustered all her strength, squeezing out each word. "Let... Clark... go."

Alger was stunned, tears streaming down his face.

"Don’t... blame... him." After saying her last words, Crystal fainted.

"No vital signs on the patient. Hurry, resuscitate!"

"Sir, we need you to step out."

Alger didn’t know how he left the operating room—only that when the door closed, his tears couldn’t stop flowing. Like a dam bursting, he cried out loud.

Celeste was startled by his outburst. "What the hell happened? Speak up. Just tell me!"
