Chapter 710: 710. Is it just a breakup, is it necessary_1

After several attempts, her face had turned red, and Harry Hall, who had been sitting beside her, now noticed something was off about her.

Especially when he saw the tears in the Eye Corner, her cheeks a faint red, her hand on her throat, she looked very uncomfortable.

A sense of anxiety instinctually tightened around his heart, and his hand gripping the chopsticks involuntarily tightened as well.

His gaze uncontrollably rested on Helen Melendy’s face, and he finally couldn’t resist asking, "What’s wrong with you?"

When Harry questioned her, everyone at the table turned their attention to her, making Helen, whose face was already flushed, turn even redder.

She hadn’t wanted anyone to know that she got choked by a fishbone while eating and had been trying to dislodge it silently. But Harry’s question now directed everyone’s attention toward her.

But what was even more embarrassing was when she heard little William, with a face full of innocence, looking at her and excitedly saying,

"I know, Auntie Helen got a fishbone stuck in her throat."

Helen Melendy: "..."

"Helen, getting a fishbone stuck can be a big deal or a small one, you mustn’t take it lightly,"

Old Lady Jones also admonished her with concern from the main seat.

"Madam, I’m fine, I swallowed it down already."

With the situation as it was, Helen had no intention of continuing to hide it, but she also didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. Just as she thought to steer the conversation away, she heard Harry Hall snort, saying,

"You say it’s nothing? Haven’t you heard the news about someone who almost died from a fishbone stuck in their throat?"

Helen Melendy: "..."

Was he intentionally cursing her? Was breaking up that serious?

She looked at Harry Hall’s grim face, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in the depths of her eyes.

Whether she heard the concern in Harry’s voice or not, Elly Campbell certainly did.

And what Harry said wasn’t just merely scaremongering, as she had previously attended to an emergency patient in the hospital who had a fishbone stuck in their esophagus. They hadn’t taken it seriously, and eventually, the fishbone pierced through the esophagus, causing mediastinitis and pus formation, leading to a high fever and breathing difficulties. The patient almost died.

What should have been just a 50 yuan procedure to remove a fishbone turned severe, ending up needing open-chest surgery.

The money was trivial, but the person had nearly lost their life.

Of course, such incidents were rare, but they certainly shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Seeing that they had nearly finished eating, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Helen, CEO Hall is right. Don’t underestimate a fishbone—it can be fatal if it gets serious. Stop eating, I’ll accompany you to the hospital to remove it."

Helen Melendy: "..."

"Isn’t this making a big deal out of nothing?"

"It is necessary."

Elly Campbell stood up from her seat, walked over, and yanked Helen up from her chair, saying, "Stop eating, come with me."

Under Queen Elly’s "dominance," Helen Melendy was dragged away.

And when Harry Hall saw that Elly Campbell had taken Helen Melendy to the hospital, his hand, which had been tightly clasping the chopsticks, relaxed a little without a sound.

The hospital on the island wasn’t far from the villa they were at, just a few minutes’ walk away.

With the night already upon them, "Jones Island" at night was a beauty of its own.

Colorful and bright lights were shining everywhere on the island, adding a different charm to the seaside scenery.

A gentle cool breeze swept through, soft and leisurely.

Elly Campbell glanced at Helen Melendy, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Did you still not tell Harry Hall about your illness?"
