Chapter 342

Not everything in this world goes as one wishes.

Even if Stephanie prayed with all her might, there was no room for negotiation with Death on the hospital operating table.

Stephanie curled up in a chair, staring blankly at the red "Surgery in Progress" sign. Diana, sitting next to her, had her eyes red from crying, and Samantha was trembling, praying continuously Several key executives of the Reed Group also rushed over. Courtney sat in a dark corner on the left, and everyone waited in silence without exchanging words.

"Why did his condition suddenly worsen?" Samantha murmured softly.

Diana comforted her back, not knowing how to explain at the moment, only hoping for everything to be okay.

At that moment, the door of the operating room was suddenly pushed open urgently.

A bald, slightly overweight male doctor in a white gown cout, holding a medical record in his hand. Two female nurses followed him, their white gloves stained with blood. They all looked very urgent.

"Doctor, how is my son? Samantha, sitting in the front, immediately stood up.

Stephanie also hurriedly ran towards the doctor, who looked at Stephanie and spoke in a low voice. "His condition is very grim."

His words raised the hearts of everyone present Samantha seemed to lose all strength suddenly, her body going limp as she knelt down. Diana quickly supported her. Her own anxiety was also burning fiercely, and the doctor's words hit her hard, tears streaming down non-stop.

"Please sign here!

The doctor's expression was serious as he handed the critical condition notice to Stephanie.

Stephanie gripped the pen, her fingers trembling, and quickly signed her name. "Please do your best to save my dad," she said hoarsely in a low voice.

The doctor took back the notice and said directly and concisely, "We will definitely do our best, but you need to be prepared. His cerebral blood vessels ruptured, causing massive bleeding. The disability rate is very high, and he is highly likely to beca vegetable or even die"

After saying that, he immediately turned and re-entered the operating room The operating room door swayed slightly after it was closed as if Death was trying to open it Stephanie straightened up, staring blankly at the door, her vision becoming blurry, so blurry that she felt everything she just heard was a dream.

Samantha couldn't hold back anymore. She pushed away Diana and kept praying She bowed her head, her voice hoarse as she sobbed. "Death, we don't want money, we don't want wealth and honor. Please leave my son's life. I beg you, please. We used to be very poor, living in a small house. Gary was very ambitious and kind toand his dad. Our life was frugal, but everyone was happy, and we lived happily together. I was wrong. I knew long ago that my lowly life didn't deserve such good fortune. I can't enjoy these riches: I'll give them all back. I don't want anything Just please don't take my son away I beg you have mercy."

Samantha cried bitterly, looking devoutly at the door of the operating room as if Death was really there. Her old, hoarse sobs revealed her fear and confusion.

Stephanie, with red eyes, held back her tears and walked over to suppon Samantha.

Samantha, who had been snobbish and harsh all her life, finally bowed to fate, She embraced Stephanie with her rough, old hands, murmuring and sobbing, her tears wetting Stephanie's clothes.

At that moment, she realized nothing was more important than family.

The surgery lasted six hours, from a bright midday to a sunset and then to a dark night.

When the doctors opened the door again, everyone stood up, their eyes flickering with panic, and quickly approached as Gary's bed was wheeled

"We performed a craniotomy to remove the blood clots in his brain. The surgery was successful. He is still unconscious now, and we cannot determine when he will wake up. "The next 24 hours are critical. Also, due to the rupture and excessive bleeding of the blood vessels in his right brain, we estimate that his left handel and foot will be partially paralyzed. The exact severity will need to be diagnosed after he wakes up The

attending doctor stepped forward and informed Stephanie.

"Thank you," Stephanie said sofily, her voice hoarse.

Diana and Samantha followed the nurses as they wheeled Gary's bed into the intensive care unit, but they were refused entry at the door.

"He just had surgery, and he is very weak. The biggest fear is infection, so you can't enter the ICU for now"Content © NôvelDrama2024.

Samantha, anxious and uneasy, stretched her neck to look into the ward. "Diana, I'm panicking, I want to go in and see him."

dly can't go in. If his wound infected, he could die at any moment." The nurse, busy with her work, turned her head and explained

"You really impatiently.

***Rets Samantha had been on edge for several hours waiting outside, and the words "could die at any moment made her heart race, her blood pressure spike, and her breathing rapid.

Seeing that Samantha was not feeling well, Diana immediately panicked and shouted for help.

Stephanie was still talking to the doctor about Cary's surgery when she heard the shout and becanxious. "What happened?"

The nurse asked, "Did she take her blood pressure medication this morning!"

Diana replied, "Yes. Her blood pressure was too high carlier this year, and she had an episode."

Stephanie and Diana panicked again. Fortunately, they were in a hospital. The nurses put an oxygen mask on Samantha and helped her to a bed to rest, and she quickly recovered.

"She is old, so don't let her worry y too much, and pay attention to controlling her blood pressure. Better to have someone look after her.

"Got it, thank you." Diana thanked the doctor and immediately arranged for a nanny from the Reed family to cand take care of Samantha..

Several executives in suits walked over to Stephanie and talked to her about swork-related matters.

"Ms. Reed, we are very sorry about your father's illness, and we hope he recovers soon. If you need any help, please call us She nodded to them, among whom there were two executives she was more familiar with. They were old employees personally trained by Gary. The two of them said spolite words to her, like "take care" and "everything will be fine".

One of them added, "Also, we plan to temporarily block the news of your father's surgery, as it could have a significant impact on the stock price." Stephanie didn't understand business, but she knew that if Gary couldn't handle it anymore, those people would not hesitate to push to push him out.

Stephanie watched them walk away quickly. She knew that businessmen valued profit over sentiment. Om Although the Reed Group was not as strong as before, it was Gary built from scratch, so she didn't want the company to fall into someone else's hands.

"They will definitely try to remove Gary from his position, Courtney suddenly said, walking up to her.

Courtney's voice was cold, her tear-stained face washed clean in the restroom, and she had regained her screen-worthy coldness.

Stephanie looked at her. "What do you want to say?"

"Do you want to watch them take away your father's company? Do you know how much effort Gary has put Reader into the into the Reed Group, how many trips he's taken, how many nights he's stayed up, how much mental effort he's put into those projects!"

Courtney spoke a bit urgently. "Gary has protected you too well. You have no idea how dirty and ugly this world is. Now that the Reed family is down, are you really so heartless as to just watch..."

"What can I do?

Stephanie was very restless, turning her head to look at the frail and elderly Samantha in the ward. She lowered her head and thought. "The Reed family suddenly collapsed. I wanted to hold it together, but I'm not capable, and I'm exhausted myself

Courtory booked at her profile, her voice cold but clear. "Go find Dominick If you ask, he will definitely help"
