The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 406

After the surgery, Vivienne asked the assisting surgeon to go out and inform the family while she stayed behind to stitch up the patient.

The surgeon nodded and pushed open the doors of the operating room.

The Ellington family immediately swarmed around.

“How is he? Is my grandson alright?” Richard asked anxiously.

The doctor removed his mask, “Mr. Ellington is out of danger now. He should wake up once the anesthesia wears off.”

Cecilia and Isolde clung to each other, weeping with relief. Richard and Kenneth also exhaled in relief while the reactions of others varied.

Percival was safe, and Thomas’ leg was saved, although he needed rest.

Aaron had minor injuries, with glass shards having been removed from his back.

All was well at last.

Once Percival was settled, Vivienne made her way to Aaron's room.

Mark had been waiting outside the door, and upon seeing Vivienne, he quickly stood up, "Ma’am."

Vivienne waved a hand. “Has Aaron not woken up?”

Mark nodded, “Yeah, the doc said the anesthesia was strong. He'll be out for a while.”

“Hmm, and the car accident, any leads?”

She had asked Draven to investigate, but sometimes news from the various elite families could present a different clue.

Mark stepped closer, his voice a whisper. “Mr. Ellington’s car was checked. The explosion was caused by a new type of bomb, not by the accident!”

Vivienne's eyes narrowed.

Just as she had suspected!

A simple car flip could not possibly cause such a massive explosion.

With this new bomb as a lead, the Ellington family could not be ruled out.

Those with access to such a bomb were GTO, but it was not beyond the realm of possibility that someone from the Ellington family had dealings with GTO.

It might have been Scott or even a direct Ellington family member.

Mark continued, “The new bomb leaves no trace, just like the one used during the baby rescue. That’s why the police have ruled the incident an accident.”

Vivienne frowned. “Keep looking. We must find this bomb research lab!”

This bomb was not even on the black market.

It was GTO's latest secret weapon.

After the last incident, she and Percival had been searching for the bomb's trail.

To no avail, and now it reappeared.

“Yes, ma'am,” Mark replied.

Just then, Isolde came running over, and Mark stepped back to maintain a discreet distance, pretending not to know Vivienne well.

“Vivienne, my brother's awake!”

Vivienne’s heart tightened, and she hurried back to Percival's room with Isolde.

The entire Ellington family was gathered around the bed, with Cecilia sobbing breathlessly at the bedside.

Vivienne entered and saw Percival with his eyes open, and her anxious heart began to settle.

She felt a sudden lump in her throat. Suddenly, she realized she did not have the strength to approach him.

Percival's gaze was fixed on Vivienne, who stood at the door. His head was bandaged, and his complexion was still pale.

After a long stare, he parted his lips. “Who are you?”

His voice was hoarse and deep, imbued with a masculine charm.

But everyone was stunned!

Percival did not recognize Vivienne?

Amnesia?

And amid the shocked gazes, the happiest was Kenneth.

Perfect!

Percival had forgotten Vivienne!

The engagement could finally be broken off!

Vivienne slowly approached Percival, a faint smile playing on her lips. “I’m Isolde’s nanny. I came to resign. I’m heading home to get married.”
