Chapter 162
Jodie glanced at Margaret’s body and asked, “Did you hurt yourself-“–
Before she finished her words, she noticed the pool of blood-stained rainwater underneath Margaret’s
feet while fresh blood continued dripping down from the latter’s pants. Jodie exclaimed, “Meg, why are
you bleeding so much?”
Margaret looked down too, but her vision went blurry. She couldn’t even hear the sounds around her
anymore.
During Margaret’s trance-like state, she sensed that Jodie had hailed a taxi to send her to the hospital.
She then saw the anxious expressions of a few nurses who pushed her into the emergency room.
Darkness soon consumed her as she lay on the operating table. She didn’t feel any pain, and she could
no longer talk.
Jodie was pacing outside the emergency room anxiously. Soon, a nurse came out of the room and

trauma has caused heavy bleeding. She needs surgery right away. If you’re her family member, please
sign over here!”
Jodie was so startled that she could mutter, “I-I am her friend, not her family member.”
The nurse quickly responded, “Get her family over as soon as possible then! Someone needs to sign the
document before we can start the surgery! It’s urgent!”
Trembling, Jodie took out Margaret’s phone, trying to call Christopher but soon realized the phone was
out of battery. She had no choice but to place Margaret’s SIM card into her phone and try to contact
Christopher. However, the call got declined. Jodie tried to call again, but the same thing happened.
She started crying as she sent a text message to Christopher: Meg is going to die soon if you don’t
answer my call! She’s in the hospital now, bleeding profusely. A family member needs to sign the
document before she can undergo surgery. Pick up your phone now!
The moment she sent that text, Christopher returned her call. She answered it instantly, “Come over
now! Meg is dying soon. She has lost so much blood…”
Booming thunder and rain sounded from the other end of the line. Seconds passed before Christopher’s
worried voice spoke. “Pass the phone to the doctor now.”
Obediently, Jodie quickly handed the phone to the chief surgeon and said, “The patient’s family is on the
phone.”
Before the doctor could say anything, Christopher stated, “This is Christopher Lewis. The patient is my
wife. It may take a while before I can reach the hospital. Please go . ahead to save my wife right now! I’ll
sign the document when I get there. I promise I won’t create any problems for the hospital if the surgery
goes wrong. Please save her now! I’m on my way over!”
Under ordinary circumstances, the doctor would not risk conducting an operation without getting a family
member’s signature and consent. However, the doctor agreed when he heard Christopher’s name and
received the latter’s promise. Hence, he replied, “All right, Mr. Lewis. We’ll try our best to save Mrs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLewis.”
The doctor returned to the operating theatre after the call ended. Jodie was shedding tears, sitting on the
bench outside. She felt guilty for asking Margaret out at such a late hour. If she had not done so, the
latter would not fall, and none of this would happen.
The time went by slowly. About twenty minutes later, Christopher showed up at the end of the corridor.
Jodie didn’t expect him to reach the hospital so soon. Moreover, it shocked her to see him in his
loungewear. She exclaimed, “You sure move fast! Don’t you need at least an hour to get here from your
house? Oh, whatever. Hurry up and sign the document!”
Christopher remained silent. His chest was heaving as if he had done some intense exercises.
He took the documents from the nurse and began signing his name multiple times. His writing was a little
crooked as his hand was trembling.
“How is she now?” he asked.
“We’re still in the midst of resuscitating her. Mrs. Lewis profusely bled and was in critical condition when
she arrived here. However, don’t worry, Mr. Lewis. She’ll be fine”
