How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Morwenna wanted to lift Norbert into the car.

But she was too panicked, her hands and feet trembling, afraid to touch him.

"I got this!" Orson squeezed through, hoisting Norbert up, and dashed outside, shouting as he ran, "Mrs. Hetfield, hurry up. My uncle’s starting the car."

That snapped Morwenna out of her daze, and she weakly followed. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Phineas and the rest of the family hurried along as well.

Norbert was rushed into the emergency room.

Morwenna stood helpless outside the operating room, like a child left behind.

What should she do? Who could help her?

The name Stuart popped into her mind.

Right, Stuart didn’t know about Norbert’s incident yet.

Without Stuart's contact information, she called Fletcher.

When the phone connected, Morwenna blurted out, "Dr. Vaughn, please get Stuart here pronto. Norbert is really sick and in the emergency room."

Morwenna stood there after hanging up, staring blankly at the operating room door.

Orson stood behind her like a dutiful bodyguard.

The Hetfield family members sat on a bench nearby.

Thirty minutes.

An hour.

Two hours.

After two long hours, doctors came and went, the situation more dire than imagined.

There was still no sign of Stuart.

Did Adelaide matter more to him than Norbert?

Three more family members arrived. They were Phineas' two sons and his niece.

There were so many people, a real reunion of all the descendants.

Yet, Morwenna couldn’t sense their sorrow.

They even seemed relaxed, as if indifferent to Norbert’s fate.

Tears welled up in Morwenna's eyes, a mix of sadness and anger.

Finally, the operating room doors swung open, and Norbert was out.

Everyone rushed forward. "Doctor, how is my dad doing?"

They seemed genuinely concerned.

Morwenna just watched Norbert lying with his eyes closed on the stretcher.

The doctor smiled reassuringly, "No worries. The patient’s out of danger now. He'll wake up once the anesthesia wears off. His heart isn’t in the best shape, mainly due to his age, and he must avoid alcohol from now on."

Relief washed over Morwenna. Her legs nearly gave out, but Orson caught her just in time.

Thank goodness, everything would be alright.

If something had happened to Norbert, she wouldn’t know what to do.

The medical staff moved Norbert to his room, and the family followed.

Half an hour later, Norbert woke up.

The Hetfield family immediately pushed past Morwenna.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

"Dad, the doctor said you must not drink anymore."

"Grandpa, you scared us, but thank goodness you're awake."

Their attitudes seemed completely different when Norbert was unconscious.

Yara said she couldn’t sit for long being pregnant and found a room to rest in.

Sabrina had her sons rush over, seemingly wanting to impress Norbert.

Phineas was busy on his phone, focused only on his work.

Only Morwenna had quietly stayed by.

Norbert was awake, and everyone seemed to sideline Morwenna.

Norbert looked around, his eyes finally resting on Morwenna, standing behind the crowd with red eyes.

"You all go out. Leave Wenna here," he said weakly.

Everyone was stunned.

Yara snapped, "Dad, I'm your daughter. How can you favor an outsider over your little girl?"

Morwenna stepped forward, grabbed Yara firmly, and forcefully dragged her out of the room.
