Chapter 215 Paisley had just entered the emergency center when she saw Jonathan , who had also hurried over .
Paisy , what are you doing here ? Jonathan asked , startled to see Her .
Could it be that she was here to see her son ? He had been in a meeting downtown when the hospital called , and he rushed back immediately .
Reginald had called him on his way back , asking for help in arranging a VIP room for Grayson .
Jonathan had agreed , but the situation at the hospital was far worse than hed anticipated .
With a surge in patient numbers recently , the regular rooms were already full .
Today , the influx of critically ill patients had been so overwhelming that even emergency protocols couldnt keep up , leaving no choice but to use VIP rooms .
As a result , Jonathan had been unable to arrange a room for Grayson , who was considered a less critical case compared to others .
Jonathan , my child is in there , Paisley said urgently , her pace unrelenting .
Seeing her anxious expression , Jonathan quickly tried to comfort her .
Dont worry , Ive checked .
Sonny is fine for now .
Sonny Paisley hesitated .
Sonny is here too ? Jonathan realized then that the child Paisley referred to wasnt Grayson , but her daughter .
What a strange coincidence , he thought As they spoke , Jonathan noticed the tall man walking calmly beside Paisley .
When Max caught Jonathans gaze , he nodded politely , exuding an air of calm and reassurance even under such tense circumstances .
Before Jonathan could ask Paisley about the mans identity , they arrived at the chaotic emergency treatment .
Mommy ! From a distance , Grayson saw Paisley .
His tear streaked face lit up as he waved at her enthusiastically .
Sonny Paisley spotted Grayson and the injuries covering his body .
Could it be that the two children had been together when the incident happened ? Paisley had no prior knowledge of this- Maria hadnt mentioned it during their calls or messages .
Grayson grabbed Paisleys hand tightly .
Mommy , youre here to see me , right ? Mommy , I hurt so much .
I feel like Im going to die Seeing Grayson in such a state .
Paisley was heartbroken .
She instinctively turned his wrist to feel his pulse while scanning the room for Maria and Serena .
It didnt take long for her to spot Maria holding Serena nearby .
Maria noticed Paisley as well , waving at her and pointing to Serena , who was asleep in her arms .
Serenas face was pale , but she seemed to be sleeping soundly and wasnt as seriously injured as Grayson .
This eased Paisleys mind a little .
Even though Maria had assured her over the phone that everything was fine , Paisley couldnt rest until she saw it for herself .
Meanwhile , the Vanderbilt family members fell silent upon seeing Paisley checking Graysons pulse .
Even Lauren , who had been crying nonstop , held back her tears and stared intently at Paisley .
Though Lauren often felt discontent toward Paisley , she could bring herself to say anything in motnents like this .
Kayla , DramaBox Stream Drama Shorts Cause You Were Never Me 3.59 % 14:26 Wed , Feb 12 Chapter 215 hiding behind Lauren , looked at Paisley with admiration shining in her eyes .
In Kaylas view , Paisley seemed to radiate light .
Her idol truly lived up to expectations even the way she stood there taking a puke was captivating Reginald stayed silent , his gaze on Paisley growing deeper .
What an ideal candidate for a daughter in law .
A renowned artist .
An inheritor of Ancient Medical Arts .
The student of the legendary healer , Charles the National Doctor .
And as Sonny had mentioned , she was fluent in multiple languages , Such an exceptional woman was more than qualified to take on the role of the Vanderbilt familys matriarch .
Yet Reginalds gaze shifted to Serena .
His eyes darkened .
That child wasnt part of the Vanderbilt family .
If only that child didnt exist , how perfect everything would be .
He withdrew his gaze , only then noticing that Paisley hadnt come alone .
Aside from Jonathan , there was another man accompanying her .
When Reginalds eyes landed on the tall figure , he froze .
Others might not recognize Max , but Reginald did .
Max was the adopted son of Tyson , the head of the influential Godard family in Montera .
Reginald had encountered both Tyson and Max at a high profile military political dinner in Montera .
Tyson was known for his decisive and domineering personality , and his adopted son was no less formidable .
But why was Max here with Paisley ? Reginalds mind raced , and soon , he remembered Marias earlier phone call with Paisley .
A mans voice had been in the background .
Maria had called him Max .
Reginalds eyes narrowed sharply .
So , was Max Serenas father ? Dominicks gaze darkened as he stared at Paisley and Max together .
Nr how much he tried to deny or avoid it , the sight of them arriving at the hospital together shattered him .
It felt as though he had plunged into an abyss of ice cold , suffocating , oppressive , and agonizing emotions twisting together , making it hard to breathe .
His eyes locked onto Max .
Just as he was staring at Max ) Max turned and met his gaze .
Two sets of eyes clashed in the air .
One was icy and filled with hostility .
The other was calm and provocatively confident .
Leo felt the tension rise and instinctively took a step back .
Behind him , Julian did the same , stepping back as well .
Leo glanced at Julian and suddenly felt the air crackling with rivalry , With a huff , he rolled his eyes at Julian and raised his brows in a mocking challenge .
Julian responded with a cold smirk , his eyes glinting with disdain .
Meanwhile , Paisley remained unaware of the silent exchanges around her .
After checking Graysons pulse , she pressed on a few spots on his body , carefully observing his reactions and asking if he felt any pain .
Each time , Grayson shook his head , denying any discomfort .
Satisfied , Paisley withdrew her hands and turned to Dominick .
Hes fine .
Theres no need to worry .
But just to be safe , I recommend doing a full body checkup .
Hearing her words , Lauren finally let out a sigh of relief , her worries easing Alright , Dominick said , his voice low and slightly hoarse as he looked at Paisley .

There was so much he wanted to say .
He wanted to know what Paisleys relationship with Max was .

If theres nothing else .
