The Million-Dollar Heart Novel Episode
Chapter 282

The affection in Percival's eyes disappeared in an instant, and Vivienne abruptly opened her eyes wide.

"What happened?"

Leopold felt a cold sweat breaking out all over him. "Richard was in your car, and halfway there, he was attacked."

A cold chill instantly emanated from around Percival.

His car was attacked?

Were those people after Richard or him?

Vivienne furrowed her brows, asking gravely, "How is Richard?"

"Richard is seriously injured." Leopold activated the GPS, hesitating if he should take Vivienne along. "Thomas took the hit for Richard, and he's in critical condition!" "Has the rest of the Ellington family gone to the hospital?"

"The other members of the Ellington family have already rushed to the hospital. What about us?"

A life was at stake, let alone the fact that the injured were Richard and Thomas.

Leopold was getting anxious.

Without any hesitation, Vivienne said, "Let's go to the hospital now!"

Percival didn't want her involved, but with her medical skills, it could give his grandfather and Thomas a glimmer of hope.

"Head to the hospital." He stressed. "Hurry!"

With both Vivienne and Percival saying so, Leopold didn't dawdle. He slammed his foot on the gas pedal and drove towards the hospital in haste.

The car was basically flying. They arrived at the hospital in less than half an hour.

Vivienne and Percival rushed up the stairs and arrived at the ER. The Ellingtons were already gathered there, anxiously asking about the situation.

"Doctor, how's my father?!" Ryan and Cathy stopped the doctor, who was about to operate on Richard. "Get the best surgeon right now! There can be no mistakes in my father's surgery!" Heloise stood nervously with her children.

Cecilia, on the other hand, was sweating profusely.

"What exactly is the situation?! Where did the old man get injured, and why was there so much blood?!"

Cecilia was shocked when she arrived. The sight of the blood-stained floor was terrifying.

Vivienne and Percival pushed through the crowd to the front. The doctor quickly explained, "Richard is in a critical condition, and he needs surgery immediately!" "Any further delay could cost him his life!"

The surgery had to be performed, but he had no confidence that he could successfully complete it.

Richard had hit an artery in the accident, so he was bleeding profusely. The wound was also near the heart, making it a situation that could go south easily.

Even a slight mistake could lead to a fatal outcome.

The patient on the operating table was none other than, Richard, the patriarch of the Ellington family. There was no room for error.

Vivienne frowned as she listened to the doctor. She was ready to scrub in and operate on the old man.

"I'll do this surgery." Her voice left no room for doubt.

Ryan and Cathy were startled and immediately blocked her way angrily. "Are you out of your mind?! The old man is in such a critical condition, and you want to mess around?!" Was she joking? Even if she had cured Isolde's illness before, it didn't mean she could save the old man.

His life was hanging by a thread.

Someone who could treat illnesses might not be good at surgery. Who knew if Vivienne curing Isolde's illness was just a fluke?

Heloise also chimed in. "We must get the best surgeon for the old man's operation. You should stop causing trouble here. Can you bear the responsibility if you mess up?!" Vivienne looked at them coldly as she radiated a menacing sense of pressure.

They couldn't save Richard, yet they were making a fuss and stopping her from operating.

If it were anyone else, she would have turned around and left. She didn't like wasting her time arguing.

But the one on the operation table was Richard, a man who treated her like his own blood and pampered her relentlessly. She had to save him.

"Vivienne." Cecilia, seeing her family making a fuss, advised her worriedly. "Surgery is not a trivial matter. If you're not confident, it's better to not get involved."

She didn't distrust Vivienne's medical skills, but Richard's condition was critical. Even if they brought in an experienced surgeon, it was uncertain if Richard could wake up. She didn't know how skilled Vivienne was, but if she messed up this operation, Ryan and the others would never let it go.

They would hold onto this matter and demand an explanation from Vivienne. They would never let her live in peace.

She didn't want her chosen daughter-in-law to be in trouble. She had to protect her.

Percival swept a cold glance at the Ellington family, then turned to Vivienne. "Vivienne, are you confident that you can do this?" He softly asked.

"Yes." Vivienne nodded.

Percival noticed the confident look on her face. He fell silent for a moment, then said to Vivienne, "Just go ahead. I'll take the blame if anything happens."

Before coming, he had made a backup plan. If both the hospital's doctors and Vivienne were not confident, he would contact Specter Healer through the Dark Web. In fact, he had already sent a message.

He had offered a billion dollars for Specter Healer to come out. He didn't know if Specter Healer would take the job, but it wasn't important now.

He believed in Vivienne.

Vivienne was about to enter the sterilization room when, Paul blocked Vivienne's way. "No! You can't operate on my grandfather!"

Vivienne's eyes narrowed as a threatening aura emanated from every pore of her body.

"What makes you think you're qualified to operate on Grandpa, you little upstart? Entrusting his life to you would be nothing short of madness!"

Paul had always held disdain for Vivienne. Even after learning that she was the true heiress of the Brooks family, he still saw her as a country bumpkin.

Paul reached out to drag Vivienne away, but Percival looked up sharply. "Paul! Do you want to die?"

The murderous intent in his eyes suggested that if Paul dared to touch Vivienne, he would snap his arm in half.

Paul shuddered as he remembered the time Thomas dislocated his jaw.

Once you've experienced that bone-chilling pain, it was not something you could easily forget.

Paul was a mindless fool. He was impulsive and always the first to be targeted.

Ryan and Cathy were frustrated with him, but the most pressing matter at hand was to prevent Vivienne from performing the surgery.

Heloise also stepped forward to stop her, but Fiona, who stood behind her, had a dark look in her eyes. She even wanted to pull her mother back to prevent her from getting involved. Percival stepped forward to stand before Vivienne. "Go ahead, Vivienne. I'd like to see who dares to stop you!"

Paul was annoyed that he had been checked by Percival. He roared, "You're not going... Ahh!!"
