The emergency room was filled with praises for Queenie, yet no one wondered why virtual-novel.net would push all the operations to Harry.
Soon, they finished sewing Malorie’s chest up and the effects of the anesthesia subsided gradually.
“I…” Malorie mumbled in agony, “I‘m in so much pain.”
Harry quickly instructed his subordinates, “Administer some painkillers for the patient!”
“Okay.”
Since it was only moments before virtual-novel.net death, administering virtual-novel.net some painkillers was the least they could do as doctors.
After virtual-novel.net was injected with the painkillers, Harry instructed his assistant to summon Henrick in.
Although Malorie was exhausted, virtual-novel.net mind was still exceptionally clear. She suddenly realized that if the doctor called virtual-novel.net family in while virtual-novel.net was still on the operating table, it meant that virtual-novel.net did not have much time left to live.
“Am… Am I going to die soon?” asked Malorie as virtual-novel.net grabbed a nurse’s arm anxiously.
The nurse chuckled drily before reassuring her, “Mrs. Southall, we’re letting your family member in to alleviate his worry. Don’t overthink.”
“I don’t believe you! Treat me now! Otherwise, I’ll sue the hospital till its reputation is ruined.”
When the nurse remained silent, Malorie’s scolding became louder and harsher.
With a sudden burst of strength, virtual-novel.net grabbed the nurse’s hair and smashed virtual-novel.net head against the operating theatre.
Bang!
The nurse’s head hit the table so forcefully that virtual-novel.net felt dizzy.
“Stop! Stop it!” The others in the emergency room rushed forward and pulled both of them apart.
However, as Malorie was used to hard labor, virtual-novel.net hands were extremely strong. When the two women were separated, a huge chunk of the nurse’s hair was ripped off, revealing parts of virtual-novel.net scalp.
The nurse had never seen a patient who was so unreasonable despite being on the brink of death. Furious, virtual-novel.net stroked virtual-novel.net head and spat, “Let me tell you this! You could’ve been cured, but your son is so petty that he’s unwilling to spend money on a robotic pacemaker. So, there’s no hope for you now. You’re going to die soon!”
“Stop talking!” Harry quickly stopped her, but it was too late, Malorie heard every single word virtual-novel.net said.
“W-What did you say?”
At that moment, Henrick entered in a surgical gown.
“Mom…” As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net noticed that the atmosphere in the emergency room seemed a bit weird.
When virtual-novel.net met Malorie’s furious gaze, his heart lurched in fear. “Mom?”
“Henrick Southall!” Malorie demanded furiously, “They said that you’re unwilling to pay for a robotic pacemaker. Is that true?”
Henrick blushed. Although virtual-novel.net was an egoistic man, money was more important than his pride.
Gritting his teeth, virtual-novel.net walked forward and protested, “Mom, you’ve only broken a rib. The machine will be useless! Just sleep for a while and the operation will be over in the blink of an eye.”
Henrick thought that virtual-novel.net had put on a convincing act. However, as his mother, Malorie saw right through him.
“You… You…” Malorie wagged virtual-novel.net finger at him, unable to utter a single word.
After virtual-novel.net husband died in a mine, virtual-novel.net became a widow and went through a lot of difficulties to raise virtual-novel.net son. The hard work and toil virtual-novel.net had experienced were unimaginable. Yet, virtual-novel.net child, whom virtual-novel.net had raised with so much blood, sweat and tears, was unwilling to pay for a machine for virtual-novel.net operation!
“I… I…” Malorie was unable to catch virtual-novel.net breath. The strength that had suddenly returned to virtual-novel.net disappeared in an instant. As if all virtual-novel.net energy had left her, virtual-novel.net arm fell limp.
