Chapter 13
Charlotte frowned slightly.
'Something happened to Edward?'
Without a second thought, she hurried over and saw the paramedics already carrying Edward out of the mansion.
Edward's eyes were tightly shut, his face flushed red, his breathing abnormal. He looked like he was in great pain but couldn't open his eyes.
Charlotte quickly approached: "Is it a heart attack?"
The butler glanced at her in his panic, somewhat surprised that she could recognize the signs of a heart attack.
Seeing that she was someone Edward appreciated, the butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded helplessly.
"Yes, I don't know what happened. He was taking a perfectly fine afternoon nap, and right after he woke up and had a sip of tea, he suddenly had a heart attack. We need to get to the hospital right away."
Charlotte stared at Edward's face for two seconds: "I'm coming too."
She got straight into the vehicle without waiting for the butler's agreement.
The butler was stunned but didn't stop her, knowing she was worried.
The ambulance rushed to the hospital.
Edward kept his fists clenched the whole way, his face alternating between pale and flushed. The paramedics performed simple CPR and put an oxygen mask on him.
Charlotte watched from the side, then reached out and pressed hard on the pressure point between Edward's left thumb and index finger, squeezing it twice.
Edward suddenly gasped for air, his breathing gradually became more stable, and his tightly furrowed brow relaxed a bit.
No one paid attention to her action.
Seeing Charlotte so worried about Edward, worried enough to hold his hand tightly, the butler was somewhat touched.
Soon, the ambulance arrived at the hospital, and Edward was sent to the emergency room.
Not long after Charlotte arrived, Alexander and several members of the Harris family also showed up.
Not only Benjamin, but even Chloe came along with him.
Seeing Charlotte, who had made him lose face just two hours ago, Benjamin's expression was strange.
He couldn't care about that now and rushed to the butler.
Benjamin scolded mercilessly: "What have you been doing? You have so many servants at the mansion taking care of my grandfather, and you still let him have a heart attack?"
Just as the butler was about to explain, Alexander shot Benjamin a cold glance.
"Dad having heart attacks is common. It has nothing to do with the butler. If you can't help, don't make things worse here."
Benjamin was shut down by his rebuke and couldn't respond.
He didn't dare talk back or show any reaction.
Chloe's eyes flickered as she stepped forward and grabbed Charlotte's hand. "Were you there when Edward had his heart attack? I heard he appreciates you quite a bit. When he had the attack, were you talking to him or something, causing his emotions to fluctuate?"
The insinuation in her words was all too obvious.
Charlotte was about to retort when a cool, lazy voice spoke up.
"You're not even married into the family yet. Is it your place to gossip about the Harris family's affairs?"
Charlotte looked at Alexander in surprise, both unexpected and wary.
'What's this man up to? Not helping his own family, but repeatedly speaking up for me?'
When things are abnormal, there must be something fishy. She didn't believe he was just being kind.
Just as Charlotte remained calm, the emergency room door opened.
Two doctors removed their masks, revealing extremely anxious faces. They came out and explained urgently to Alexander, "The patient has heart disease and the situation is not good. This sudden attack is strange, with abnormal heart valve function. We need to immediately bring in a famous specialist from Lumaria to perform emergency surgery."
Alexander pondered: "You mean Dr. Samuel Lee?"
Charlotte raised an eyebrow slightly, then remained composed.
She hadn't expected that after years of sparse contact with her student, Samuel had become so famous.
The brilliant doctor everyone thought of first was actually him.
Alexander didn't miss the brief change in Charlotte's expression, but at this critical moment, he couldn't focus on that.
The doctor nodded: "Yes, exactly. If we can get him here within one night to perform emergency surgery, Mr. Edward Harris can still be saved and get out of danger. Otherwise, the worst consequences could happen."
At this point, everyone understood.
Without Samuel, Edward had only one path: death.
Alexander turned and instructed Peter: "Use every means available to find him and bring him here immediately."
"Yes." Peter agreed and went to handle it right away.
Charlotte thought for a moment. Edward knew that piece of music that few people in the world could understand, making him somewhat of a kindred spirit to her.
Standing by and watching someone die wasn't her style.
Charlotte spoke up: "Let me go in and try."
As soon as she said this, everyone's attention instantly focused on Charlotte.
The doctors looked at each other, not knowing who this young girl was.
Chloe stepped forward as if she had heard wrong, in disbelief.
"What did you say? You've lived in the countryside all your life, where you couldn't even see a doctor for a cold or fever, and now you're saying you can help?"
"Can you perform surgery or do you have magic powers to make Edward better just like that? Stop making trouble, okay? No one can afford to offend the Harris family."
Benjamin also scolded: "Charlotte, have you caused enough trouble? Just because you have some presence in the game, you think you can boss around the Harris family in real life?"
Charlotte ignored their mockery and only looked at Alexander, her gaze unprecedentedly firm and clear.
Alexander paused slightly, his eyes gradually deepening.
He could tell that Charlotte was serious.
Alexander's thin lips parted: "Let her go in and try. Also, do everything possible to find Samuel and bring him back as quickly as possible."
The two doctors' expressions changed immediately.
After exchanging glances, they quickly stepped forward: "Mr. Harris, I know you're anxious, but this is clearly not something a young girl can handle. Even if Dr. Samuel Lee came, he would probably need to be very careful, let alone a girl who looks barely of age."
Charlotte said coldly: "Every minute you delay, the patient is in more danger. If anything happens, I'll pay with my life, okay? Let me in!"
The doctor was speechless.
Alexander raised an eyebrow: "Let her in."
The doctor had no choice but to slowly step aside.
Charlotte entered the operating room without hesitation.
Benjamin was about to speak again when Chloe secretly tugged at his sleeve from behind, her eyes showing a hint of schadenfreude.
Charlotte's eagerness to curry favor with Edward was written all over her face - who couldn't see it?
But this was a matter of life and death, not a joke.
Even world-class doctors were helpless. She wanted to see what Charlotte could do!
