Vivian’s voice crackled through the phone, anxious and strained.
Normally, no matter the situation, her mother could always keep her composure. For her to sound this desperate now, something must have gone terribly wrong.
As soon as Danielle hung up, she hurried out, weaving through the hallway with quick, determined steps.
Turning a corner, she collided headlong with someone.
“I’m so sorry!” she blurted, barely slowing down as she apologized and rushed off.
“Miss Crawford? Is something wrong? Do you need any help?” A familiar voice called after her.
Danielle froze, turning back to see Dr. Jason Gable.
“Dr. Gable?”
Maybe she was grasping at straws, but in that moment, seeing a doctor felt like an anchor—any doctor might have the answer she desperately needed.
She quickly explained her uncle’s condition.
“It’s actually my specialty,” Jason replied. “I just got back from overseas and brought with me some new treatments. If you don’t mind, I could take a look?”
Danielle didn’t hesitate.
Compassion was a physician’s duty, after all.
Jason accompanied her straight to the hospital.
Cancer pain was merciless. To make matters worse, her uncle’s high blood pressure would spike with the agony, pushing him into dangerous territory.
By the time Danielle arrived, her uncle was just being wheeled out of the emergency room.
Vivian’s face was slick with cold sweat, her whole body trembling and weak. She looked completely lost.
“Mom.” Danielle wrapped her arms around her mother, gently patting her back. “It’s going to be okay—Uncle’s always been strong, he’ll pull through this. We all will.”
She wasn’t sure if she was comforting her mother or herself.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
Please update...
The last chapter was too short. More pls. Thank you....
Lovin' this. More more pls!...
