“Ari, why are you bleeding?”
Arianne followed Tiffany’s gaze downward, but virtual-novel.net vision was already blurry and virtual-novel.net was beginning to hear buzzing instead of voices.
Vaguely aware of virtual-novel.net surroundings, Tiffany hailed a cab and sent virtual-novel.net to the hospital. A few medical staff appeared in front of her, looking anxious as they pushed virtual-novel.net into the emergency ward.
She was conscious, aware that virtual-novel.net was being laid on the operation theater, but virtual-novel.net felt no pain nor could virtual-novel.net speak
Tiffany paced outside the emergency ward in a state of nerves. After a while, a nurse opened the door of the emergency ward and walked out. “Are you the patient’s family? The patient is over fatigued after virtual-novel.net miscarriage and is now suffering from blood loss due to trauma. She needs surgery. Please put in your signature if you’re virtual-novel.net family!”
Tiffany was stupefied. “I… I’m virtual-novel.net friend. I’m not a family member.”
The nurse said hurriedly, “Then call virtual-novel.net family! The surgery can only be done with a signature. She can’t wait any longer!”
With trembling hands, Tiffany picked up Arianne’s phone to call Mark but realized that virtual-novel.net phone had automatically switched off from the low battery. She could only pull out Arianne’s sim card and put it in virtual-novel.net own phone. When the call was connected, it was manually hung up. She called again only to have the same scenario repeated.
Tiffany was already a sobbing mess. She texted Mark while wiping virtual-novel.net tears. “Ari’s going to die if you don’t pick up! She’s losing a lot of blood. She’s in the hospital. A family signature is required for the surgery. Pick up!”
Right after the text was sent, Mark’s call came. Tiffany picked up hastily. “Come quickly, Ari is in danger… She lost so much blood…”
Only thunder and rain were heard from the other end of the line for the first few seconds before Mark’s voice sounded. There was a trickle of panic in his calmness. “You, pass the phone to the doctor.”
Tiffany obediently passed the phone to the surgeon in practice. “It’s from the patient’s family.”
The doctor was about to speak when virtual-novel.net accepted the phone, but virtual-novel.net was cut off by Mark. “I’m Mark Tremont; the patient is my wife. I still need a little more time to get to the hospital. Please do your best to save virtual-novel.net now. I’ll sign the form the moment I arrive. I verbally promise that I indemnify the hospital should there be any accident. Please save virtual-novel.net now! I’ll come as soon as I can!”
Usually, the hospital would never proceed with the surgery recklessly according to such a situation. The signature was a must. However, hearing that it was Mark Tremont and having his verbal consent, the surgeon agreed. “Alright, Mr. Tremont. We’ll do our best in saving Mrs. Tremont.”
The doctor went back to the operation ward after the phone call while Tiffany wept sitting on the bench. She blamed herself. If virtual-novel.net had not called Arianne out so late in the night, the latter would not have fallen and something like this would not have possibly occurred…
Seconds and minutes ticked away. About twenty minutes later, Mark appeared at the corner of the corridor.
Tiffany did not expect virtual-novel.net to be here so fast and… He was actually wearing his loungewear. “You need at least one hour to drive from your house, don’t you? How did you get here so fast? Sign your name!”
Mark did not say anything. The heaving from his chest was rather heavy as if virtual-novel.net had just finished a strenuous exercise.
He took the document that the nurse passed virtual-novel.net and signed it speedily. His name, which virtual-novel.net had signed countless times, looked like a scrawl now, as his hands were shaking…
