Chapter 649:
Fred’s grave tone sent fear coursing through Gabriela’s veins.
She murmured, “I know Wesley’s heart has never been strong p>
“His heart condition is much more serious than that!” Fred erupted with anger and regret whenever patients ignored their health. “I warned him during our last meeting—abandon all work and focus entirely on healing his body p>
Gabriela’s heart plummeted. “Dr. Hill, what’s happening to him p>
“First, tell me something. Is Wesley your boyfriend?” Fred’s keen eyes had caught Wesley’s profound devotion to Gabriela that day.

Gabriela wavered for a heartbeat, then lifted her chin with determination. “Yes p>
That single word shattered Stewart’s heart into fragments. Myah’s hands curled into rigid fists, irritation blazing across her features.
Gabriela had been sneaking around with Wesley behind her back?
How could she betray her brother like this?
Upon hearing Gabriela’s confession, Fred released a weary sigh.
“Tell me, did Wesley receive a heart transplant p>
Gabriela nodded quickly. “Yes, five years ago p>
“Transplant recipients must guard their health fiercely. But when I examined his condition that day, I discovered he had barely allowed himself proper rest. His stress and restlessness have devastated his heart condition p>
Fred’s ominous declaration sent tremors through Gabriela’s hands. “I’ll contact him immediately and bring him to you, all right p>
Fred had healed Myah’s chronic eye condition—Gabriela believed he could rescue Wesley’s failing heart too.
Fred exhaled another defeated sigh and shook his head. “He has been refusing proper rest after major surgery—there’s nothing I can do to help his deteriorating health! Return home and persuade him to abandon work and concentrate on recovery. Each additional day carries weight p>
Fred’s words sent Gabriela’s heart spiraling deeper into despair. She gazed up at the merciless sun and felt arctic coldness sweep from her scalp to her toes. Thoughts crashed through her mind.
Each additional day carried weight?
What did Fred mean?
Was death coming for Wesley?
Hearing Fred’s assessment, Myah’s hands formed brutal fists, her eyebrows knitting with tension.
Wesley had claimed her brother’s heart yet neglected his health, and now he had stolen her brother’s cherished woman.
She had known it all along—the Moss family was despicable and shameless!
After concluding their conversation with Fred, Gabriela bid farewell to Myah and returned to Okburg in a trance. Stewart observed her distracted state and spoke gently. “Wesley’s condition isn’t something you caused p>
“I understand,” Gabriela responded before stepping out of the vehicle.
Stewart watched her disappear into the residential complex, then instructed Erik, “Take me to the hospital p>
The wound on his arm remained severe. After two scorching days without fresh bandaging, infection had likely set in again. Throughout the entire journey, he had forced himself to endure the relentless pain.
Upon reaching the hospital, Stewart endured a lecture from the attending physician and received immediate treatment from the nurse—fresh dressing and an anti-inflammatory injection. Despite the sharp sting of the treatment, Stewart released a chuckle.
People claimed love could transform you into a fool. Once entangled, escape became impossible.
