Chapter 105 Steven is Nora's Support
In the operating room.
Olivia lay on the operating table, barely breathing.
Her stomach hurt so much, her body felt so cold, her long hair was soaking wet and stuck to her face like she'd been caught in the rain... Below her was shocking, bright red blood.
She wanted to beg the doctor to save her baby, but she couldn't speak. She was so weak she could only breathe through the oxygen mask.
"Save..." Her pale lips moved. She wanted to say, "Save my baby..."
But she had no strength at all and sank into darkness...
After who knows how long.
The doctor came out and handed Willie a critical condition notice. "The baby couldn't be saved. The patient lost too much blood and urgently needs a transfusion. You need to sign this surgical consent form before the blood bank can send blood over."
Nora's head buzzed when she heard this, and her legs went weak.
How could it be this serious?
Massive bleeding that needs a transfusion?
Nora felt so cold, the chill seeping bit by bit into her bones. She stood frozen outside the operating room, completely dazed.
On the other side.
Steven lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
He tossed and turned, restless, and finally kicked off the blanket in frustration.
He sat up, his face dark.
No, even if they were getting divorced, he had to make her come back and talk things through clearly.
Steven turned on the bedside lamp and called Nora on his phone.
She actually answered.
But her voice was shaking. "Steven..."
Steven's heart tightened. He immediately realized something was wrong. "Why are you crying? What happened?"
He suddenly stood up. Had something happened to Nora?
"Olivia... Olivia lost her baby..." Nora's voice was full of pain.
Steven was shocked. "Olivia lost her baby? When did this happen?"
"They said it was around midnight. Olivia's at the hospital now, and it's really serious." Nora cried as she spoke. She was scared, scared that Olivia wouldn't make it out of the operating room.
Her heart felt cold, and she was trembling badly. Right now, she really needed someone to lean on.
"Which hospital are you at?" Steven could hear that she was very scared.
"Mary's Hospital."
"Nora." He called her name, his voice calm and steady. "Listen to me. Find a chair and sit down, don't panic. I'll contact a doctor friend of mine to come over. Wait there and don't leave, and try not to worry too much, okay?"
"Okay..." Nora was at a complete loss. She'd do whatever Steven said.
She found a chair and sat down, then hugged herself, trying to calm down while waiting for Steven's doctor friend to arrive.
Willie sat on the other side, looking like death would be better than this, completely dejected.
Soon after, the doctor came out with a serious expression. "Who's Olivia's family?"
Nora and Willie both rushed over. "Doctor, I am!"
The doctor glanced at Willie. "Are you her husband?"
"Yes." Willie nodded.
He was the primary responsible party.
The doctor said, "The patient's bleeding won't stop. She needs another transfusion. If the massive bleeding still can't be stopped, the patient may need to have her uterus removed..."
"Remove her uterus?" Both Nora and Willie were stunned, like they'd been hit over the head!
"Yes."
Removing the uterus meant she could never have children again.
Willie's brow furrowed deeply. "But she's only 25 years old."
"If the massive bleeding can't be stopped, the uterus will have to be removed; otherwise the patient's life will be in danger." The doctor told him this.
The situation inside was very critical right now, and many doctors had been called in to help.
Nora looked completely lost.
She wanted to call her parents to come over, but her fingers kept shaking. She didn't even have the strength to press her phone.
Just as she unlocked her phone, a group of doctors in white coats walked out of the elevator.
Nora's unfocused eyes looked over and saw Steven and Chris walking toward her against the light.
At this moment, Nora didn't have the energy to think about why he could bring so many doctors.
She just felt that now that Steven was here, she had someone to lean on.
Steven grabbed her and supported her waist, protecting her in his arms.
"Nora." Steven held her in his arms and discovered that her body was so cold. His brow furrowed as he looked into her vacant eyes. "How's Olivia doing now?"
"She's in the operating room, massive bleeding. The doctor just said if the bleeding can't be stopped, they'll have to remove her uterus."
Steven looked at Chris.
At this moment, Chris was wearing a white coat. His attractive but dangerous and mysterious face didn't quite match his profession.
He studied medicine, but ended up doing investment work with Steven.
"Chris, go take a look," Steven instructed Chris.
When Chris was working, he was quite serious. He nodded and led the group of doctors into the operating room.
"Is he a doctor?" Willie looked up and asked Steven.
Steven nodded.
Willie didn't ask any more questions. He held his head in his hands, completely consumed by deep guilt.
Nora said, "How did Chris become a doctor? Isn't he your boss?"
"He's a very successful investor who's also a doctor, so he's both my boss and a doctor." Steven looked at Nora's pale face, feeling extremely sorry for her at this moment, and held her tightly.
However, Chris was more than just that. He also had a very powerful family behind him, the Green Group.
Steven took off his suit jacket and draped it over Nora's shoulders.
Nora didn't refuse. Being held tightly by him, with such a major incident happening, they had both forgotten about the unpleasantness from earlier that evening.
"What happened tonight?" Steven asked Nora.
Nora leaned against him, her eyes glaring hatefully at Willie sitting across from them. "Olivia went home with him, and then over a dozen relatives cornered them to argue. Then someone pushed Olivia, and she fell to the ground and started bleeding heavily."
In the operating room.
Olivia lay on the bed in a daze, her lips dark purple, with over a dozen doctors gathered around the operating table.
As soon as Chris arrived, he took charge. He called to her in a deep voice, "Olivia..."
Olivia's consciousness was fuzzy. "Save my baby, please..."
"Your baby is gone." Chris's tone was serious. "I'm giving you your third blood transfusion now. Don't fall asleep, talk to me, otherwise if it gets worse, your uterus will have to be removed, okay?"
Olivia didn't answer him. She was crying. Although she'd been given anesthesia, it wasn't general anesthesia. The doctor would keep talking to her to make sure she stayed conscious.
Olivia looked at the harsh operating room lights, sobbing. "I was pushed by someone. My baby was killed by someone..."
She murmured this sentence, her voice slow and sorrowful.
Chris said gently, "Then you need to be even stronger and get through this, so you can get revenge for your baby."
Yes...
Revenge...
Olivia's mind circled this word. She moved her fingers slightly, and the desire to live grew stronger in her eyes.
