Too Late, Billionaire, Now You’re the One Chasing Me Chapter 30
The doors closed again.The red light remained on.Kelly looked at Sebastian, her voice hoarse. “Thank you, Mr. Carter. Thank you for saving her. I’ll repay this, I swear I will.”Sebastian said nothing, his expression unreadable.Kelly opened her mouth again. “Mr. Carter, you should…”She didn’t finish.The heat that had been building in her chest finally surged past its limit.Days of strain, the emotional weight, and the exhaustion all crashed through her at once.She doubled over. “Cough—cough—”Her face drained of color. After a violent fit of coughing, dark blood suddenly spilled from her mouth.The world warped and blurred.Sound faded.Everything spun.Her body gave way like a puppet with its strings cut, collapsing downward.The impact never came.A strong arm caught her before she hit the ground.Kelly lay limp and cold, eyes shut, her face pale, a smear of blood at the corner of her lips.Sebastian’s brows drew tight. He scooped her up and moved quickly toward the ER.…“K

After that, Keith hung up.“Hello? Keith—!”Only the cold, lifeless dial tone remained.Kelly stood frozen, phone in hand, a sharp ringing filling her ears.It felt as if something inside her had been torn wide open, cold wind rushing in.She was frozen through.But there was no time for grief and anger.Her grandmother’s life was hanging by a thread. She had to hold herself together. She had to save her.In this world, her grandmother was the only one who had ever truly cared for her.Who else could she turn to?Catherine.Like grasping at her last lifeline, Kelly dialed her number. “Mrs. Parsons, something’s happened to my grandmother. She’s in critical condition. The hospital says only Oliver Hill has the best chance of performing the surgery. Mrs. Parsons, could you please help me?”Catherine sounded surprised. “It’s not that I don’t want to help, but the Hill family is closely tied to the Carter family. “They’ve been physicians for generations—ordinary people can’t just get acc

Thud!It was a sickening, heavy impact.The sound of a skull striking marble rang out, sharp and unmistakable.“Grandma!”Kelly rushed down in a frenzy, her knees slamming hard against the floor. Her hands trembled as she gathered Evelyn’s limp body into her arms. “Grandma… can you hear me? Look at me…”Her voice shook uncontrollably.Tears streamed down her face.Where was her phone?She had to call for help.Kelly fumbled through her pockets, finally pulling it out. Her fingers trembled as she dialed. “Number One Lanting Residence. An elderly woman fell, she’s unconscious. Please… please come quickly… please…”Maya froze, her eyes flickering.Her hands tightened around the railing.A trace of panic crept in.She… wouldn’t die, right?A piercing glare shot toward her, filled with raw hatred and fury.Maya’s heart skipped a beat as she met Kelly’s eyes.Kelly’s voice was hoarse, each word cold and deliberate. “Maya, if anything happens to my grandmother, I will make sure you pay for

Kelly looked at her blankly. “I can’t hear what you’re saying. Are you crazy? Let go of me.”Maya let out a soft laugh. “Oh please, I saw you earlier. You answered a call without your hearing aid. And now you’re still pretending in front of me? “What are you hiding? Your hearing’s back, and you didn’t even tell Keith?”Kelly lowered her gaze, her lashes trembling slightly. A faint smile tugged at her lips as she brushed Maya’s hand away. “You keep talking to someone who can’t hear. Are you that lonely?”Maya stared straight into her eyes. “Kelly Shaw, are you still pretending?”Kelly shot her a look like she was dealing with an idiot and stepped forward.Maya, furious, blocked her again, leaning in close, her expression smug and taunting. “Then let me tell you something. Keith thinks you’re tainted from your past. He’s a clean freak. He’d rather drive out in the middle of the night to sleep with me than touch you.“Do you know why he married you? First, so no one would call him ungr

“Your body is trying hard to adapt to it,” Derrick added. “That’s actually thrown your normal tolerance off. You’ll need some time to adjust.”Kelly nodded as if it had just clicked. “I see.”Derrick gave a small nod as he walked her and Evan to the door. “This device was custom-fitted for you at great expense by Mr. Parsons. If this doesn’t work, you’ll probably have trouble with any hearing aid on the market. “Give it some time. If it’s truly unbearable, we’ll look at other options.”Kelly agreed.As she stepped out, she took Evan’s hand. “Thank you, Dr. Lee. You know what they say—you reap what you sow. With a kind heart like yours, it won’t go unnoticed.”The corner of Derrick’s eye twitched. His smile turned stiff. “Of course. Take care on your way home, Mrs. Parsons.”The moment she left, he barely made it back to his office before pulling out his phone to check his bank alerts.A transfer of twenty thousand was credited into his account.For him to risk his medical license l

He handed the report to the female doctor. “Done.”She hurried out of the office.Unhurried, Derrick picked up his phone and placed a call. “Mr. Parsons? Mrs. Parsons is here with the child for the pre-op tests for a cochlear implant.”He was calling Keith.Kelly’s ear twitched. With one hand, she quietly turned on her phone’s recorder, then continued signing to Evan as if nothing was wrong, listening carefully.“Mr. Parsons, you’re putting me in a difficult position. If we push Mrs. Parsons’ hearing-aid settings any higher, it could harm her physically and mentally.“In severe cases, it could cause persistent ear canal pain, even damage the eardrum and make cochlear implant surgery impossible.“Mr. Parsons, I’m a doctor. This isn’t about money.”There was a pause.Then he laughed. “All right… you’re very generous, Mr. Parsons. Then it’s settled.”Kelly dug her nails into her palm. A surge of rage rose in her chest, burning through her, making her tremble.So, everything was a lie.H
