Chapter 437 A Vegetable
Billy did not expect Scarlett to ask him that, so he was a little stunned. That said, he recovered instantly. “Coincidentally, Scarlett’s here in this hospital. She was previously admitted into a small hospital at the outskirt of the city. But because the hospital wasn’t well equipped, the Hamilton family decided to transfer her here out of sympathy.”
At that moment, Samuel understood the hesitation in Natalie’s eyes. But unlike her, Samuel felt no sympathy for Scarlett.
Natalie would have been frozen to death if she did not see through Scarlett’s plan.
So, to him, Scarlett deserved to die.
At the same time, Natalie quickly finished her food and picked up the plates. “Being stuck in this room is a drag, Samuel. I’ll head out to wash these. Be right back.”
“Okay.”
Samuel nodded with a reluctant grin that quickly dissipated.

“Just follow her. See what’s going on. Don’t let her see you,” Samuel ordered with a finger over his lips. “If anyone mistreats her, let her handle it on her own. Step in if it doesn’t seem like she could fend herself.”
Billy nodded. “Yes, sir.”
After Natalie came out of the ward, she left the plates on a window sill and hurried to the information counter on the first floor.
“Excuse me, can I know which floor the patient, Scarlett Hamilton, is being treated on? I’m her friend. I heard she got into an accident, and I’m very worried about her current wellbeing.”
The nurse saw Natalie’s worried gaze and did not doubt her. “That patient is… currently on the ninth floor undergoing emergency brain surgery in the operation theater,” the nurse said after checking the records on her computer.
“Thank you.”
Natalie immediately took the elevator all the way to the ninth floor.
She was in her hospital gown and had her hair over her face.
Hence, Zayden, who was pacing back and forth in front of the operating theater, did not notice her.
Not long after, the red light outside the theater finally turned off.
“Doctor, how is my sister?” Zayden hurried over and asked as soon as the doctors came out.
At the same time, Natalie pricked up her ears.

“I’m sorry,” the doctor said grimly after taking off his mask. “They found the patient too late. The blood clot in her brain is already suppressing some vital nerves. An operation is not needed anymore. Even though her body’s functioning normally, we can already declare her brain dead.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Zayden was usually an a***ole, Scarlett was still his sister. So, the doctor’s words felt like ice water being thrown onto him.
He could not accept it.
She could still laugh and cry a few days ago, even when Grandpa kicked her out of the family! She was still alive! How did things turn out this way? She’s become a vegetable!
“Doctor, please, I beg of you. Save my sister.” Zayden was in tears as he clung onto the doctor’s arm and begged. “My family’s rich! Just name your price! I’ll pay you anything as long as you can save my sister!”
Nevertheless, Scarlett’s condition was too precarious. No amount of money could grant the doctor the ability to save her.
“My condolences to you and your family, mister.”
After that, the doctor put on his mask again and left the vicinity while Zayden followed behind him with tears all over his face.
“Please, Doctor! Please! I beg of you! Please save my sister!”
A while later, Scarlett was pushed out of the operating theater on a stretcher.
It had only been two days since they last met, but the once dazzling Scarlett Hamilton now had her head covered in thick layers of bandages. Her face was dark red and swollen, while her lips were sickly purple.
All the signs and symptoms pointed to one thing—Scarlett’s brain was severely battered.
The medical staff relocated Scarlett into a room and left after penning down some records.
Then, Natalie looked around and made sure that the coast was clear before going into Scarlett’s room.
