Chapter 55 You’re My Mother’s Savior
“I have it!” Ashley exclaimed as she handed a small bottle to Emily.
Emily grabbed one of the pills and carefully placed it under Jenna’s tongue. She then stacked her hands on top of each other and pressed them against Jenna’s chest.
It didn’t take long for sweat to bead on her forehead and roll down her cheeks as she administered CPR on Jenna.
Everyone in the room was holding their breath, and as the seconds ticked by, Damien felt like his heart was going to leap out of his chest.
He looked at Emily again and thought about how he had almost forced himself on her earlier. That bitch, Amelia, had told him that Emily was nothing but a pretty face. She was just the wife Gabriel had tossed aside because he had grown sick and tired of toying with her.
Now, as Damien looked at Emily kneeling on the ground and doing her best to save Jenna’s life, he couldn’t help but wonder if she was the same person that Amelia had insulted.
How could Amelia have called her useless? She had to be blind to be unable to recognize Emily’s talents. In fact, Amelia had nearly caused him to cut his own mother’s life short.
Soon, weak coughing echoed around the room, and Jenna’s eyelids twitched as color began to miraculously return to her face.
Emily stopped what she was doing and pressed her fingers against Jenna’s pulse again—it had
returned to normal.
She breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the floor as if all the strength had drained from her
body.
Meanwhile, the thunderous sound of footsteps resounded from beyond the door.
“The ambulance and the doctors have arrived!”
Several emergency doctors dressed in white coats rushed into the room. They even had a stretcher
with them.
Using the floor as support, Emily pushed herself back up to her feet and explained, “The patient had a heart attack. I’ve already used CPR on her, and I’ve also placed nitroglycerin under her tongue. Her condition is stable for the time being, but you should still operate on her as soon as possible.”
Surprise flickered in the eyes of the doctor who was leading the group.
Soon, Jenna was swiftly lifted onto the stretcher.
When the doctors passed Emily by, Jenna-who had regained consciousness-weakly raised her

hand and pointed at Emily. “Thank… you…”

Damien’s eyes reddened in an instant. Then, he hastily turned around and fell to his knees in front of Emily.
He usually carried himself with a fierce and intimidating demeanor, but at that moment, he was more akin to a child. “Ms. Sterling!” he exclaimed as he slammed his head against the floor. “You’re my mother’s savior, which means that you’re also my savior!”
His subordinates behind him followed his example and also fell to their knees.
Emily was stunned. From her perspective, she had just carried out her responsibilities as a doctor.
As she watched Damien cry his eyes out, the loathing she felt toward him lessened significantly.
Damien’s attitude toward her changed completely when he got back to his feet. He rubbed his hands together and amicably smiled, saying, “You must be exhausted, Ms. Sterling. Please have a seat and get some rest. I’ll get you some water!”
He clumsily grabbed a cup, nearly knocking the thermos bottle over in the process.
“I don’t need water.” Emily’s voice was as calm as usual, but there were obvious traces of exhaustion lacing her tone.
“Allow me to personally send you home!” Damien exclaimed in a rush, as if he was afraid that she would reject his offer.
The sky had darkened significantly by the time he escorted Emily back downstairs. He opened the car door for her and even used his hand to shield her head from accidentally bumping against the ceiling. 1
Every move that he made was careful and meticulous.
But Emily didn’t immediately close the door after she got into the car. Instead, she looked at Damien and said, “Your mother isn’t out of danger yet.”
Damien’s heart squeezed as the smile on his face stiffened.
“This isn’t over yet, so I’ll drop by regularly to check on her condition and adjust her medication accordingly.”
Damien was stunned. He wasn’t expecting those words to come out of Emily’s mouth.
“That’s great!” he excitedly exclaimed, “You must be a benevolent goddess, Ms. Sterling. Thank you so much! You can drop by whenever you want. I’ll adjust my schedule to accommodate you!”
