The place was in chaos.
The sound of doctors and nurses administering emergency medical treatment could be heard coming
from the room.
“Mom!”
“Grandma!”
“Great-Grandma!”
Justin’s uncle’s family burst into tears.
All of them were crying and they acted as if they were terribly sad.
“Shut up!”
Justin barked fiercely, causing their sons to stop abruptly.
Justin’s second uncle, Raymond Hunt, immediately said reproachfully, “Never mind if you’re not crying
because you’re cold-blooded, Justin.Why are you forbidden—”
Justin shot him a glare and snapped, “Grandma isn’t dead! Raymond was so frightened by him that the
words he was about to utter became stuck in his throat.
His family also gradually stopped crying.
Justin pressed his lips together and stared hard at the ward.
Pete’s tiny body started to tremble.
Even someone like him who was usually clever and quick-witted for his age was at a loss now.
As if sensing his panic, Justin placed his large warm hand on his shoulder.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPete gradually calmed down.
When he turned to the side, he immediately saw Justin looking down at him from above.
Justin’s voice was rich and mellow as he said, “Don’t be scared, Pete.’ Pete’s eyes reddened again and
he nodded.
Nora had already walked over to the ward by then.
She glanced at Pete.
When she was on the plane, because she needed to sleep, she had stayed inside her room with Cherry
the whole time and hadn’t interacted with Justin and his son.
Now that she was observing him so closely, she realized that his physique really was very similar to
Cherry’s.
When she wanted to observe him a little more, the sounds in the ward caught her attention.
When Justin noticed that she didn’t enter the ward immediately upon arriving but instead looked at him,
his heart sank.
Did Anti also think that Grandma was doomed ? His voice was very low.
For the first time, there was helplessness and pleading in his voice.
He said, “Miss Smith, pleas—”
However, before he could finish, Nora had already retracted her gaze and entered the ward.
Hospital Finest was indeed worthy of its reputation as a renowned hospital in the country.
Ranging from their equipment to the doctors, it boasted the best medical conditions in the States.
Even the nurses were highly professional.
Everyone moved in an orderly manner as they tried to save the patient.
“Prepare to apply electric shock!”
“200 volts!”
Bam! Beep, beep, beep! …Beep…beep…
When her heart finally started beating again, the doctors and nurses breathed sighs of relief.
Nora, however, frowned.
She had observed the patient’s various data previously…
“Mr.Hunt, the old Mrs.Hunt’s body is already at its limit.The cardiac arrest just now has caused multiple
organ failures.If she doesn’t wake up in time, I’m afraid it’ll be life-threatening.’
The chief doctor, who was part of the emergency rescue efforts just now, took off her mask, revealing a
bright and attractive face underneath.
Her voice was calm and steady as she related the patient’s condition.
A frowning Justin asked, “Dr.York, Grandma has always been healthy.Why did this suddenly happen?”
At his question, Tina York frowned and let out a sigh.
She replied, “Mrs.Hunt is already 80 years old after all.Her body is no longer as healthy as before”
Justin looked at Nora and asked, “Do we proceed with surgery immediately?”
“No, you mustn’t!”
Tina shook her head before Nora could reply.
Her voice was mild and gentle as she spoke, making her seem like a reliable person.
She said, “Mrs.Hunt is too weak at the moment.We’ve only just snatched her back from the jaws of
death.If she undergoes surgery now, the operation will bring further harm to her.’ Nora didn’t speak.
Instead, she was carefully observing the patient.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs.Hunt’s eyes were closed.
She was thin and her face was filled with dense wrinkles.
There was barely any sign of life in her as she laid on the bed.
Her body was indeed in an extremely weakened state.
However, if she didn’t undergo surgery, resulting in the blood clot in her brain impeding blood circulation
for a prolonged period of time, it was possible that the chances of her waking up in the future would
become very low.
While she was thinking, another quarrel broke out outside the door.
Raymond and his family had also heard what Tina said.Infuriated, Raymond exclaimed, “Does that mean
my mother is doomed?! Oh, why is your life so hard, Mom? We’ve already told you that the boy that
Justin brought back is an ingrate, yet you refuse to believe us and insisted on keeping him by your side!
But in the end, he so cruelly pushed you down the stairs instead! He might as well have killed you!”
Raymond was 55 years old this year.
He looked thin but energetic, and had a shrewd look in his eyes that came from many years of life
experience.
His son, Roger Hunt, had the Hunts’ exclusive deep-set eyes.
However, the look in his eyes wasn’t as deep and unfathomable as Justin’s.
On the contrary, he was always smiling and gave off a feeling as if he was up to no good.
He sighed and choked on his sobs as he said, “Don’t say that, Dad.Pete isn’t a normal child after all.He’s
mentally ill.He didn’t mean to suffer a relapse.He didn’t want to hurt his grandma, either…”
There was a boy in their side of the family who was in the same generation as Pete.
Because he was fat, he was nicknamed Fatty.
His cheeks were so fleshy that even his eyes had disappeared.
