Chapter 11 After working around the clock for over two weeks , Liam went into cardiac arrest on a flight to Thailand . Isabella was sitting right beside him in the business class cabin , engrossed in a movie . Liam felt a suffocating sensation spreading from his chest throughout his body , as if a huge rock were lodged in his throat . He used all his strength to try to reach for Isabella . His hand finally fell with a clunk . Even though Isabella wasn't wearing headphones , she was completely unaware of Liam slipping into unconsciousness beside her . In the moments before losing consciousness , Liam felt a despair deeper than any physical pain . For some reason , as he was forced to close his eyes , scenes from his life with Chloe flashed before him . Chloe would meticulously clean their home . Chloe would cook him nutritious meals with care every day . Chloe would plan his fitness regimen , schedule everything according to his availability , and even handle some of his official duties for him . Before his consciousness completely faded , Liam wanted to curl his lips into a faint smile but couldn't . He found it absurd - a billionaire , yet he'd been living on takeout for the past two weeks . Then , darkness swallowed him completely . When a hazy white light appeared before his eyes again , Liam felt no particular joy at being revived . " Mr. Walker's condition is severe . The initial assessment is cardiac arrest induced by extreme . fatigue . " " However , based on his medical history , it could also be a complication of his selective mutism . It's fortunate the flight attendant noticed in time , otherwise he might have suffered brain death . " Liam's consciousness was still blurry . He tried to move his fingers but found it impossible . Strangely , he felt no pain . His strongest sensations were partly a deep weariness , a desire for release , and partly an empty , aching feeling in his heart . He hadn't heard Isabella's voice all this time . " Isabella Rossi ... Are you Mr. Walker's ... next of kin ? " Chapter 11 42.31 % Wanna watch the rest of " Office Girl " ?

Someone must be with him at all times to prevent another incident . " " After three days , if some indicators stabilize , it's best to arrange a chartered flight back home . " " Three days ? ... But I've already booked an island - hopping tour for today ... " Isabella's voice carried clear dissatisfaction and irritation . Even the doctor sighed . " Ms. Rossi , a man's life is at stake . You can revisit Thailand with Mr. Walker once he recovers . " " Can't I just hire a nurse for him ? " Isabella seemed to have found a solution to the conflict , a hint of delight in her voice . But Liam felt as if he were falling into an endless abyss . That near - death ache surged in his heart again . Yes , yes , this was the woman he had loved ... When had Isabella become ... so indifferent to him ? Beep- ! The heart monitor beside him suddenly let out a shrill alarm . " He's crashing ! Get me 3 of epi , now ! " THUMP ! A doctor applied gel - covered paddles and delivered a jolt that sent Liam's body arching off the bed . He saw a flash of white light before crashing back down onto the mattress . This happened several times in succession . He felt all the blood in his body rush to his head , pounding as if it would split open . He sank back into a chaotic darkness . Chapter 11
