Chapter 218-1 "Alright, Matthew, go change and get srest. I'll stay here with Elliot, and Austin's inside with Xavier. It'll be fine. Dad called, and they're on their way back." Joseph looked at Matthew, whose face was pale and drawn.

"I'll stay until Xavier's out of surgery. I can't leave, this is his first tgetting hurt this badly." He wouldn't be persuaded, so Joseph just sighed and let him be.

Inside the operating room, the sound of medical instruments filled the air as the surgery had already stretched on for nearly ten hours. Xavier had sustained severe injuries, and because he hadn't been brought to the hospital on time, his condition was critical.

Sof the doctors weren't even sure if he would make it.

Austin, though not originally from St. Katherine's Hospital, had been asked by Ethan to take over the operation given his expertise.

"Not good, the patient's losing a lot of blood. Go to the blood bank and get more." One of the doctors ordered urgently.

"RH negative." Austin's voice was cold, like steel.

"The blood of that type was already used on another patient. We can't get it here in time-if we need more, we'll have to go to another hospital." The nurse answered in a panic.

"What are you waiting for? Go now!" Austin barked, his voice hoarse with frustration.

The nurse rushed out in a hurry.

"Mr. Darling, it's looking like Xavier might not make it." One of the doctors said quietly, trying to break the news without being too blunt.

"Shut up." Austin's gaze was bloodshot as he glared at the doctor. He wasn't going to let Xavier die. He couldn't. "As long as there's still breath in the patient, we don't give up. Do you understand that?" Ethan glared at the doctor, his anger simmering under the surface. If anything were to happen to Xavier here, the entire Darling family would make sure to turn this hospital upside down.

The nurse rushed in, her face pale as she closed the door behind her. She had no trace of panic left.

"What happened to the patient inside?" Jaden stepped forward, his voice full of authority.

"The surgery is going fine. Nothing major to worry about." The nurse answered, keeping her tone calm, but she didn't mention the fact that Xavier was still waiting for blood.

"Then why are you coming out?" Jaden's sharp eyes narrowed, noticing the small flicker of panic that had crossed the nurse's face.

The other members of the Darling family had arrived by then, and they looked just as concerned.

"Mr. Davis askedto get medicine. You're wasting time. If we don't hurry, we'll lose the patient we just brought back." The nurse explained quickly, her eyes darting nervously.

Jaden didn't press further, not wanting to delay things.

***** The minutes passed, but the nurse still hadn't returned. Ethan's voice broke the silence. "Where's the blood?" he asked.

The team of doctors was still doing everything they could to keep Xavier alive. Austin was growing Cier increasingly restless, his instincts telling him something was wrong. "Go find Matthew or Mr. Johnson and get that blood. Quickly." One of the doctors ran out, his voice full of urgency.

"Doctor, is Xavier okay?" Joseph rushed over, his voice full of concern.

"Xavier's lost a lot of blood. His blood type is rare, and the nurse hasn't been able able to get the blood yet. Mr.

Darling said to find you. The situation is critical now." The doctor looked almost desperate.

"Our blood bank is out of RH-negative blood. I'm going to try other hospitals, but you should be able to get it faster than we can. If you do, bring it here, please."

As the doctor finished speaking, Jaden was already pulling out his XJoбepput his phone to make calls Joseph was NO doing the same, arranging for helicopters to bring blood from other hospitals. "Something's wrong with that nurse." Elliot's eyes were cold, his gaze full of suspicion.
