Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2444

Meanwhile, the light above one of Taylor General Hospital's emergency surgery theaters flickered off. Moments later, the door swung open, and a doctor emerged, pulling down his surgical mask

Mandy hurried toward the doctor, her eyes brimming with worry. "How is that poor man doing?"

"Mrs. Taylor, it's fortunate you brought him in when you did. Ten minutes later, and we might not have been able to save him. He went into shock from excessive blood loss, but he's stable now. I gave him a transfusion and sutured his wounds. He'll need rest and proper nutrition to recover fully."

Relief washed over Mandy, and her tense body slackened. Her knees nearly buckled as she murmured, "Thank God ... Thank God!"

Once the doctor departed, Mandy instructed her driver to purchase the best blood-replenishing supplements available, sparing no expense.

The driver had only been employed by the Taylor family for the past two years, so he was unaware of the true reasons behind Mandy's actions. To him, her behavior seemed purely an act of kindness. "Mrs. Taylor, you're so kind to go to such lengths for him. You're a saint."

Mandy lowered her eyes and shook her head bitterly. "It's not kindness. It's... penance."

The driver was left puzzled by her remark. Still, he left to fulfill her request.

Transferred to the best VIP ward in the hospital, Remy had Mandy by his side, watching over him tirelessly.

"Damien... Are you Damien?" she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes. "How did you end up like this? What happened to you, my child? What did you get yourself into?"

Her grief, long suppressed since losing her son, poured out as she clung to Remy's presence. To her, he was more than a stranger he was a lifeline to the son she had lost.noveldrama

Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on Remy's forehead. His pale lips trembled as he mumbled, "Mom...."

Mandy leaned closer, her heart racing. "What did you say?"

"Mom... Mom..."

Remy's murmurs were faint, but Mandy heard him as clearly as if he had spoken aloud. Overcome with excitement, she clasped his cold, calloused hands tightly. Her tears spilled freely as she said, "I'm here.... I'm right here, my child!"

Even if Remy was merely a stranger who bore an uncanny resemblance to Damien, Mandy was ready to embrace him as her son.

Remy, trapped in a nightmare, clung to her hand. His voice was weak, but his words carried a profound sorrow." Can I... live in... the light too..."

Though she didn't fully understand his plea, Mandy nodded with conviction, her voice steady despite the tears." Yes, you can. Of course, you can-if you're willing."

Remy didn't respond. He drifted back into sleep, but a faint, contented smile touched his lips.

The grand banquet hall had been transformed into a conference venue, accommodating hundreds of attendees. Media reporters from across the nation filled the room, laptops open and cameras ready to livestream the event as they waited for Beckett Group's new president.

The main doors opened, and Justin strode onto the stage in a sharp suit. All eyes turned to him as he approached the microphone. He bowed slightly, his tone humble yet composed.

"Thank you all for attending this press conference despite your busy schedules. On behalf of Beckett Group, I extend my sincere apologies for taking up your time and resources.

"The purpose of this press conference is to address the recent scandal involving my younger brother, Jasper Beckett, who served as Beckett Group's president until recently. Given the public interest in the matter, I felt it necessary to provide clarity."

A reporter raised a hand. "Why are you speaking on his behalf? Shouldn't Mr. Jasper address this himself?" Murmurs of discontent rippled through the room, the crowd unimpressed by Jasper's apparent avoidance. "It isn't convenient for him to come forward at this time. Furthermore, Jasper has been dismissed from his position at Beckett Group. Since he no longer represents the company, his presence here is unnecessary." "Says who?"

A strong, authoritative voice cut through the air, turning all heads.

Right after, the doors to the hall were thrown wide open.
