Chapter 80 Blood, Ava's Blood Everywhere
Oh no, if she just slipped out quietly now, the security guard at the entrance would have seen her visit. Once Joshua checked, he'd definitely suspect her.
And when Ava woke up, she'd surely complain to Joshua, and then she'd be exposed.
Mia clenched her teeth hard, forcing herself to calm down. A flash of ruthlessness crossed her eyes as a plan formed in her mind.
She kicked off her high heels, messed up her carefully styled hair a bit, put on an extremely panicked look, and rushed out, running straight to Joshua.
Joshua frowned slightly when he saw Mia like this.
Mia grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands, saying urgently, "Joshua... quick, I just saw Ava... Ava fell down, she's bleeding a lot."
"What did you say?" Joshua's cold eyes narrowed instantly.
Mia was so frightened by his icy gaze that she couldn't help but take two steps back.
For a moment, her heart almost stopped from fear.
"Where is she?" His eyes were full of anxiety.
"At... at the entrance inside..." Mia's voice trembled with fear.
Joshua immediately rushed inside.
Ava lay in a pool of blood. The rapid bleeding from the back of her head made her feel extremely dizzy. She was barely conscious, her strength draining away with the blood.
Ava knew that head injuries bled the most. In just a few minutes, all her blood would be gone.
She struggled to reach out, using all her strength to open the medicine box, took out silver needles, and inserted them into her hand to slow the blood loss and keep herself conscious.
After doing this, she was completely exhausted.
"Ava!" Joshua's pupils contracted sharply. He almost rushed over and pulled Ava into his arms. The scene before him felt unreal.
He thought when Mia said Ava fell and was bleeding, it was just an ordinary fall. But what he saw was a sea of crimson red.
Ava's eyelashes fluttered. Looking at Joshua in front of her, she felt dazed. Her body became weightless as Joshua scooped her up.
"Joshua..."
"Ava, how did this happen? How did this happen?"
The sunlight outside was so bright she couldn't open her eyes. Her butterfly-like lashes trembled. This was the first time she'd seen Joshua so nervous.
Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, even half-opening them was incredibly difficult.
"Ava, don't sleep, don't sleep. Open your eyes, don't sleep. I'm taking you to the hospital, don't sleep."
Soon Mia saw Joshua carrying Ava out, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. Ava's face was pale as a broken doll, barely alive in his arms.
Mia froze completely, her hand covering her chest. The way Ava looked just now, it was like she was dying.
Mia panicked instantly. What if she died? If Ava really died, she'd be a criminal. Once this matter was investigated, Mia didn't dare to think... Seeing how anxious Joshua was for Ava just now, Mia was both scared and angry.
She was angry that Joshua was so worried about Ava, that he could even completely ignore her.
She was afraid that if Ava died, Joshua would definitely investigate, and precisely because he cared so much about Ava, once he found out she did it, this cold-blooded and ruthless Joshua would never let her go.
But another voice in her head told her that if Ava died, Joshua wouldn't care about her anymore. She'd be the only woman by his side. She could smoothly marry Joshua, and everything Ava knew would disappear with her death.
Thinking this way, she desperately hoped Ava would just die.
Joshua didn't dare delay for a second. He rushed Ava to the hospital as if fleeing for his life, charging all the way to the emergency room. Many people were terrified.
Due to excessive blood loss, Ava was completely unconscious when she was sent to the emergency room.
Joshua had never been so panicked. Ava's blood stained his suit in patches. Sweat covered his forehead. The usually dignified Joshua now looked somewhat disheveled.
"Save her!" At the emergency room door, Joshua grabbed the doctor. His eyes were bloodshot, his hands trembling, the coldness around him seeming to destroy everything.
The doctor was so frightened by his intense presence that he froze, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, we'll do our best."
Standing behind him, Samuel snapped out of his daze. He had never seen Joshua lose control like this.
From this moment, he finally understood just how much Joshua cared about Ava.
Seeing Joshua grabbing the doctor, who was almost scared to death, Samuel quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Mr. Joshua Thomas, the doctor needs to go in and save Mrs. Ava Thomas. Don't worry, Mrs. Ava Thomas will be fine."
Joshua suddenly came to his senses and immediately let go of the doctor.
The doctor quickly said, "Don't worry, we'll do everything we can to save her."
The doctor hurriedly escaped Joshua's grip and entered the emergency room.
Joshua stared intently at the operating room door as it closed, unwilling to look away for even a moment. He didn't even realize how tense he was at this moment.
Blood, blood everywhere. The blood on Joshua's chest had soaked through his dark suit, staining the white shirt underneath red.
Ava!
Ava!
This name kept circling in his mind. How could this happen? How could she fall so badly? What happened to her...
After two hours of emergency treatment, the light in the emergency room finally went out. The doctor came out, removing his mask.
Joshua's eyes focused. He immediately stepped forward, asking in a deep voice, "How is she?"
He stared at the doctor, his breathing trembling.
"Don't worry. We found that she had done some simple treatment before being brought in, which controlled the bleeding. Otherwise, this time would have been really dangerous. The patient is not in life-threatening danger now, but her head injury is very serious, and she's currently in a coma."
The tightness in Joshua's chest eased a bit. He closed his eyes deeply. He'd never felt two hours could be so unbearable.
Thank goodness, thank goodness she was okay.
As long as she was okay.
Joshua felt incredibly grateful.
"When will she wake up?"
"That's hard to say. It depends on her."
Just then, Ava was wheeled out. Her head was wrapped in thick bandages, her face pale and bloodless. Joshua's heart was stabbed sharply, aching to the point of trembling.
Mia rushed over, pretending to be very worried. Seeing Ava wheeled out safe and sound, she ground her teeth, her hands clenched at her sides. How could this bitch Ava have such good luck? She bled so much but still didn't die.
"Joshua." Mia put on a worried face and quickly stepped forward, "Joshua, is Ms. Davis okay?"
"How did she fall?" Joshua glanced at her, asking coldly.
Mia choked. Her heart immediately beat irregularly. Did he suspect her?
Mia felt extremely guilty. Her hand holding her bag tightened slightly. Under Joshua's icy gaze, she felt like he could see through her soul.
But she had prepared everything before coming. Her expression quickly returned to normal. She shook her head, looking very helpless, "I don't know either. I wanted to visit Grandpa, but when I got to the stairway, I saw Ms. Davis had already fallen."
"Why didn't you save her?" Joshua asked without a trace of warmth.
Mia frowned tightly, her voice becoming choked up, "I saw so much blood at the time, I was really panicked. I wanted to save her, but I couldn't get Ms. Davis to the hospital by myself, so I thought I'd run out to get help, and then I saw you coming back."
