Unable to discern the full situation over the phone, M decided to first calm the woman on the line. Once she was a bit moreposed, M quickly asked for the hospital''s address.


    It turned out to be Metropolitan Hospital!


    Images of the ambnce she had just seen at the hospital entrance shed through M''s mind, along with the familiar face of a middle-aged woman.


    Wasn''t that Sienna, the one who takes care of Mr. Eugene from the Montgomery family?


    "Secretary Sophie, please wait here. When my auntes out, exin everything to her. I''m heading to the emergency room first to see what''s going on," M said swiftly to Sophie, who was standing nearby.


    Sophie, with her long ponytail and sharp ck-and-white business attire, had overheard the entire phone call and understood the urgency of the situation. She quickly nodded in agreement.


    M hurriedly dashed toward the emergency room.


    The person in trouble was her brother-inw, Eugene, who was Lysander''s younger brother from the Montgomery family. Although she didn''t know the specifics, the fact that Sienna was in tears and mentioned surgery indicated it was serious.


    Even though she was the eldest daughter-inw of the Montgomery family, with a pending divorce, she was practically an outsider and couldn''t bear this


    responsibility.


    While running, M called Lysander to inform him of the situation and the hospital''s address, suggesting hee over.


    Surprisingly, when Lysander answered, he was unusually cold.


    "Eugene''s having surgery? What''s it to me if he does or doesn''t? Let me know if he dies, and maybe I''ll consider getting him a coffin," he said before hanging up.


    M was stunned.


    She knew that Lysander and his brother didn''t get along, but surely not to this extent-this was a matter of life and death!


    Since that was a dead end, she decided to call the family estate.


    The family''s old butler answered. M intended to ask him to fetch Conrad, her father-inw. However, upon hearing the situation, the butler hesitated.


    "Mrs. Montgomery, could you please sign the surgery consent form for Mr. Eugene? Rest assured, you won''t be held responsible if anything goes wrong. It''s just that Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery can''t hear anything about Eugene, so we have to ask you."


    The call ended, leaving M''s heart heavy with disappointment.


    What did that mean?


    Their own brother, their own son, and they were just going to ignore his life and death?


    Confounded by the Montgomery family''s indifference, M couldn''t stand by and do nothing. She rushed into the emergency room.


    Ignoring Sienna, who was on the verge of fainting from crying, M first spoke with the doctor. It was acute severe appendicitis, and Eugene was in septic shock. His condition was life-threatening, and any dy could be fatal.


    Without further hesitation, M signed the consent form.


    Once Eugene was taken into surgery, M was drenched in sweat. Sienna sat on the floor, utterly exhausted, clutching M''s hand in gratitude.


    "Mrs. Montgomery, thank goodness for you! I wouldn''t have known what to do otherwise. I''m just a caretaker. If something happened to Mr. Eugene, what would I do? Can you believe how the Montgomery family is? They don''t even care about their own child! Leaving him out there with no one to contact..." Sienna sobbed, overwhelmed by her bad luck.


    M took a deep breath, steadied herself, and gently helped Sienna to her feet, offering a fewforting words before getting back to the matter at hand.


    "What exactly happened? How did his condition be so severe so suddenly?"
