Chapter 627 Two Voices
Abel was so anxious that he felt like he could tear the man on the other end apart. “Say something!”
“She’s not out yet.”
Finn finally answered, his voice low and hoarse.
Abel’s heart sank. He bit down hard, eve.
tasting a hint of blood in his mouth.
“I’ming over.”
Without another word to Finn, he hung up and rushed there at top speed.
Just as he arrived, Tess’s bed was being pushed out of the operating room.
“Tess!<b>” </b>
The first thing Abel saw was her closed eyes on the hospital bed, and his heart twisted.
He ran over. His shout had been loud, but the person on the bed didn’t move at all.
Abel’s heart dropped to the bottom. He fought back the lump in his throat and looked up at the doctor. “How is she…”
“The crash caused the impact topress her internal organs. And she’s too thin. Her overall condition isn’t very strong. The injuries themselves aren’t severe, but recovery will be more difficult for her.”
The doctor’s words finally brought a glimmer of light back into Abel’s dead, still eyes.
“Uh, which one of you is <i>Te </i>
Ember’s family member?” The doctor/looked at the two men, each gripping one side of the bed, clearly puzzled.
“I am!”
“I am.”
One voice was hoarse and urgent. The other was low, edged with urgency.
They spoke at the same time, then coldly met each other’s eyes.
The doctor hesitated, then flipped through the patient’s file again. The only listed family member was her ex–husband, Finn … and there was no record of remarriage.
“Which one of you is Finn Lock?”
The doctor cleared his throat.
“I am.”
Finn looked up, unable to hide the spark of hope in his eyes.

Abel clenched his jaw and shot Finn a re.
“Alright. You follow the nurse and take her to the assigned room. The nurse will exin the care instructions in detail. Listen carefully.”
The doctor gave a final reminder.
Finn nodded at once. “Yes. I will.”
“Mr. Lock, pleasee with me.”
The nurse helped push Tess’s bed and gave Finn a respectful nod.

This doctor was a big name at their hospital. He was already past retirement age, but thanks to his exceptional skill, he was still working on the front lines. So he didn’t really keep up with Aetheris’s gossip.
For example…
The nurse stole a nce at Finn and Abel.
<i>After </i><i>Tess </i><i>divorced </i><i>Finn</i><i>, </i><i>she </i><i>and </i><i>his </i><i>nephew</i>, <i>Abel</i>, <i>seemed </i><i>entangled</i>. <i>Now </i>it <i>looks </i>like <i>it </i><i>might </i><i>be </i><i>true </i><i>after </i><i>all</i>.
The young nurse was thinking about the rumor when she identally bumped into someone head–on.
“Ah! I’m so sorry!”
She apologized in a panic, only to see the person wince, then rush straight to the bed. “How is she? Was the surgery sessful?”
Raven rubbed her leg and stared hard at Tess.
“Huh?”
The nurse hadn’t expected more of Tess’s people to show up…
Keeping herposure, she nodded to both of them. “Ms. Tess is out of danger. She just needs a long period of rest.”
Lyra’s eyes were full of worry. “Then why isn’t she awake yet? What’s wrong?”
“The anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet. Just wait a little longer.”
The nurse exined patiently and suggested taking Tess to the room first.
Raven and Lyra quickly stepped aside. Abel followed closely behind.

Kylie was curled up contentedly in Henry’s arms, cating grapes Nadine handed her. It was the happiest thing she’d ever imagined.
Then Nadine’s hand suddenly froze.
“What is it, Nadine?”
Kylie sat up and saw Nadine staring fixedly at the TV.
“Dad, Mom! Isn’t that Tess?!”
She panicked. Even Henry, who’d been absentminded, looked over.
“That really is Tess! She was in a car ident in the Harborfall International parking garage!”
Henry eximed.
Kylie’s heart skipped, and she looked over as well.
On the screen, two cars had collided. The front of a pink supercar waspletely crushed.
Henry’s eyes lit up, as if he’d just been handed the perfect opportunity. “Tess was in a car ident. As her family, we have to <i>go </i>see her at the hospital!”
He quickly told the staff to fetch his coat, his whole mood oddly bright.
Kylie watched every move he made and felt uneasy, but she still stood up, went upstairs to grab a shawl, and then followed them out.
Yet when she was fetching the shawl and getting into the car, she looked strangely distracted.
