Chapter 1059 Critical Condition
“Thank you, Mr. Wood, for being willing to help me out. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to handle it myself,” Lucia expressed her gratitude in a soft voice.
“No problem at all. I also have to thank you for letting me know and preventing Casper from making a big mistake. Otherwise…” Miles trailed off.
“Mr. Wood, there are some things that I won’t mention again, but if our suspicions are true and your son is actually… I hope you’ll be careful in the future because he is very cunning,” Lucia hinted subtly.
Miles remained silent for a while before finally hanging up the phone directly and disappearing without a trace.
As the car continued to drive forward slowly, the flashing night scenes disrupted Miles’ thoughts.
Lucia frowned as she looked at her phone which had already emitted an engaged tone several times. Arthur noticed this and pulled her into his arms asking, “Is everything resolved?”
“It’s resolved… but… Miles is really pitiful.” Putting down her phone, Lucia whispered softly with sadness and helplessness evident even just from hearing her voice.
“Okay now don’t think about it anymore,” Arthur was contradictory; he loved Lucia’s kindness but didn’t like how she always thought of others first. So he leaned towards her neck and shoulder area, whispering gently, “Miles will eventually accept this fact; judging by his actions now, he should already be mentally prepared.”
“I really can’t imagine what would happen if Teddy or Kylee were like that one day…” Just as Lucia said this, Arthur sealed her lips with a kiss; after their tongues intertwined passionately, he let go of her with seriousness evident in his eyes.
Kylee was the name they gave their baby when celebrating New Year’s Eve together in USA – meaning repaying kindness with gratitude while also understanding filial piety.
“Don’t say such things! Our Teedy and Kylee will never have any problems. I guarantee it!” This was something Arthur didn’t need anyone questioning him on regarding fatherly love or capability
Lucia’s eyes shone brightly as she realized what she had said wrong, so she obediently leaned against Arthur’s shoulder, whispering softly, “I understand now. From now on I won’t say anything like that again since we have you here. Our Teddy and Kylee will never face any danger.”
Only then did Arthur feel satisfied holding onto his beloved woman sinking into an ocean of affection.
Even though it was past midnight people still came back-and-forth continuously at Municipal Harmony Hospital, either looking distressed or crying softly. This place had always been full of contradictions welcoming life yet sending people off to death.
At this moment, Eve was accompanying Nia outside the emergency room. Nia still had an IV drip on her hand and she was already extremely tired. However, when she thought of Kevin being inside the emergency room, she forced herself to stay awake and wait for him outside.
After going through this difficult time, Nia felt that Kevin genuinely treated her well.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Nia, why don’t you go rest in the ward first? I’ll wait for Mr. Berry,” Eve said with sympathy and concern as she saw Nia struggling to stay awake.
“No, I have to wait for him here…” Nia’s face showed a rare and sincere expression of affection.
Eve could do nothing but accompany her sister as she remained resolute. Soon after, Lauren walked over.
“Has Kevin not come out yet?”
At eight o’clock tonight, Nia and Kevin were brought back to the hotel by Miles. However, Kevin’s condition was not good. Lauren had planned to have Dr. Anderson take a look at him, but as soon as he called, Kevin began vomiting blood uncontrollably. After contacting Dr. Anderson, he suggested that they immediately seek medical attention. Therefore, Lauren took them to the hospital for treatment.
“Not yet,” Eve said anxiously. “He has been in the emergency room for three hours now.”
Lauren nodded at the words and walked over to sit next to Eve. Just then, Nia, who had been waiting quietly all this time, suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Lauren without saying a word. Both Lauren and Eve were stunned for a moment.
“Mr. Osade, please make sure you help me and Kevin get revenge!” Nia gritted her teeth and said.
“Nia, what are you doing!” Eve realized and quickly squatted down to try to help Nia up. Unexpectedly, she stubbornly refused to get up, her eyes flashing with anger as she stared persistently at Lauren.
Lauren remained indifferent and gave Nia a cold stare before saying, “I don’t want to get involved in the conflict between you guys and Casper.”
Nia bit her lower lip and stood up slowly under Eve’s insistence. She stood there with her head down, revealing her vulnerable and helpless side in front of Lauren and her sister for the first time.
“I have been lied to by Reynolds, used by Spencer, and hurt by Casper. Until now, Kevin is the only one who has treated me well. If he doesn’t survive, I will fight Casper to the end even if I die!”
Eve couldn’t help but feel heartbroken as she watched her sister’s eyes turn red. She looked over at Lauren with concern.
After giving Eve a glance, Lauren looked away and didn’t respond.
“Mr. Osade, what do I have to do for you to help me out?!” Nia had been using Eve to urge Lauren to help her, but this time she had to ask him herself!
Without helping Nia, Eve couldn’t bear it. Lauren was well aware of this fact.
Sure enough, seeing her sister so indignant, Eve couldn’t help but call out, “Lauren…”
That plea was filled with desperation. Lauren’s heart raced as he hesitated to agree to help Nia. Just then, the door to the emergency room opened and a doctor walked out.
Upon seeing the doctor, Nia instantly forgot about asking for Lauren’s help and rushed over to grab his arm, asking urgently, “Doctor! How is Kevin?!”
The doctor smiled and said, “Luckily you arrived in time. The patient’s condition has stabilized but he has broken ribs and injuries to his lungs and liver. He will need proper rest afterwards.”
“Really?! Thank you so much Doctor!” Nia was overjoyed that at least Kevin’s life had been saved despite his serious injuries.
“You’re also a patient yourself. You should go back and rest properly while we finish up some work here before sending him back to the ward after surgery,” the doctor kindly advised Nia.
Nia was about to say something when she suddenly fainted in front of them all. Fortunately, the quick-eyed doctor caught her just in time while Eve rushed over to support her sister anxiously asking, “Doctor! Why did my sister faint?!”
Finally moved by what he saw before him, Lauren got up from where he sat earlier and helped steady Nia’s body instead of being indifferent like before; not because he sympathized with Nia but because he didn’t want Eve exerting herself even slightly more than she already had.
“It’s okay. Maybe she is just too exhausted from everything that happened today or hearing good news made her relax too much causing her fainting spell,” said the doctor after briefly checking on Nia’s condition.
He then advised them all saying, “Quickly send her back to rest in her ward.”
