Chapter 162

Jodie glanced at Margaret’s body and asked, “Did you hurt yourself-“–

Before she finished her words, she noticed the pool of blood-stained rainwater underneath Margaret’s

feet while fresh blood continued dripping down from the latter’s pants. Jodie exclaimed, “Meg, why are

you bleeding so much?”

Margaret looked down too, but her vision went blurry. She couldn’t even hear the sounds around her

anymore.

During Margaret’s trance-like state, she sensed that Jodie had hailed a taxi to send her to the hospital.

She then saw the anxious expressions of a few nurses who pushed her into the emergency room.

Darkness soon consumed her as she lay on the operating table. She didn’t feel any pain, and she could

no longer talk.

Jodie was pacing outside the emergency room anxiously. Soon, a nurse came out of the room and

asked, “Are you the patient’s family member? The patient is exhausted after the miscarriage, and the

trauma has caused heavy bleeding. She needs surgery right away. If you’re her family member, please

sign over here!”

Jodie was so startled that she could mutter, “I-I am her friend, not her family member.”

The nurse quickly responded, “Get her family over as soon as possible then! Someone needs to sign the

document before we can start the surgery! It’s urgent!”

Trembling, Jodie took out Margaret’s phone, trying to call Christopher but soon realized the phone was

out of battery. She had no choice but to place Margaret’s SIM card into her phone and try to contact

Christopher. However, the call got declined. Jodie tried to call again, but the same thing happened.

She started crying as she sent a text message to Christopher: Meg is going to die soon if you don’t

answer my call! She’s in the hospital now, bleeding profusely. A family member needs to sign the

document before she can undergo surgery. Pick up your phone now!

The moment she sent that text, Christopher returned her call. She answered it instantly, “Come over

now! Meg is dying soon. She has lost so much blood…”

Booming thunder and rain sounded from the other end of the line. Seconds passed before Christopher’s

worried voice spoke. “Pass the phone to the doctor now.”

Obediently, Jodie quickly handed the phone to the chief surgeon and said, “The patient’s family is on the

phone.”

Before the doctor could say anything, Christopher stated, “This is Christopher Lewis. The patient is my

wife. It may take a while before I can reach the hospital. Please go . ahead to save my wife right now! I’ll

sign the document when I get there. I promise I won’t create any problems for the hospital if the surgery

goes wrong. Please save her now! I’m on my way over!”

Under ordinary circumstances, the doctor would not risk conducting an operation without getting a family

member’s signature and consent. However, the doctor agreed when he heard Christopher’s name and

received the latter’s promise. Hence, he replied, “All right, Mr. Lewis. We’ll try our best to save Mrs.

Lewis.”

The doctor returned to the operating theatre after the call ended. Jodie was shedding tears, sitting on the

bench outside. She felt guilty for asking Margaret out at such a late hour. If she had not done so, the

latter would not fall, and none of this would happen.

The time went by slowly. About twenty minutes later, Christopher showed up at the end of the corridor.

Jodie didn’t expect him to reach the hospital so soon. Moreover, it shocked her to see him in his

loungewear. She exclaimed, “You sure move fast! Don’t you need at least an hour to get here from your

house? Oh, whatever. Hurry up and sign the document!”

Christopher remained silent. His chest was heaving as if he had done some intense exercises.

He took the documents from the nurse and began signing his name multiple times. His writing was a little

crooked as his hand was trembling.

“How is she now?” he asked.

“We’re still in the midst of resuscitating her. Mrs. Lewis profusely bled and was in critical condition when

she arrived here. However, don’t worry, Mr. Lewis. She’ll be fine”
