Chapter 425
Harry held Lola's hand firmly. He heard her say that she loved him, but with great effort.
His eyes were blurred by tears. She had never seen a man with tears before. Her heart ached for having distressed him so much...
She really wanted to comfort him and say, "Don't cry, honey..."
But she couldn't muster the energy to do so. She was determined to hold on to the hope of her children's safety, despite the agonizing struggle.
No one knew how much time had passed. When Lola could bear it no more, the car stopped.
Harry took her in his arms at once and ran inside the hospital.
In the warm sunlight, Lola glanced at the man who was holding her, running desperately and, finally unable to take it any more, closed her eyes.
"Chuck!" Harry, screamed like a madman for his brother, rushing inside the hospital.
Hearing Harry roar in the distance, Chuck was sure something had happened! Anxious, he hurried from the operating room asking the other surgeon to get an emergency bed.
Lola's blood was dripping on the floor. The red against the sterile white of the hospital floor looked striking. Harry's madman-like behavior made everyone else stay away.
Chuck seeing the blood and the state Harry was in, calmed himself, and immediately instructed the
other surgeon. "Quick! Stop the bleeding!" Harry, now covered in blood, put Lola on the emergency bed that the other surgeon had wheeled in.
"Chuck, Please save her!" The man gradually sobered down. Looking at the bed where the unconscious woman lay, he collared Chuck, who was about to leave.
Chuck cast his eyes on Lola and reckoned that it might be the reopened wound on her uterus. "If only one can be saved..."
"Save the mother! At all costs!" He interrupted his question without any hesitation. For Harry, the decision was beyond any doubt.
Chuck gave him a deep, understanding look, nodded, and followed the emergency bed into the operating room.
The lights in the operating room switched on. Harry leaned against the wall.
Kevin took Nicole to the manor only to find the bloodstain on the floor. He immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Mrs. Herbert was not in the manor. The servant was working in the back garden. He finally learned about the accident from the security.
Entrusting Nicole to the care of the servant, Kevin left for the hospital. Upon reaching it, he ran to the operating room.
He saw Harry leaning against the wall. He also saw the blood staining his son's white shirt and hands. Why was there so much blood...
"What's going on?" Kevin anxiously looked at his son, whose eyes had turned red.
"She's just gone in, " Harry said nodding in the direction of the operating room. His voice was hoarse from the effort it took to control his emotions.
Kevin joined Harry to wait. Harry thought about informing his in-laws. Just as he dialed Harold's number, the operating room's door opened and a surgeon came out. Her hands were stained with blood. "The mother needs a transfusion. Her blood group is B, but we have only two bags. Is any one of you group B?"
Harry's blood group was RH, which though rare, could not be used for Lola.
"Will group O work?" Kevin asked.
"Theoretically yes, but it's not encouraged. Besides, the patient needs quite a lot of blood so group O is not recommended, " the surgeon explained briefly.
"Does anyone in your hospital have the blood type B? Please let them help. Money is no object, " Harry said with a deep frown. To avoid any more trouble, it was best to ask Joseph, the nearest to them at this moment, to come to the hospital.
"I'll go and check." Once the surgeon left, Harry phoned Joseph, who was doing a variety show nearby.
The assistant anxiously waved the cellphone at Joseph who was on the stage. The call seemed to be
very urgent!
At first, Joseph did not notice the assistant. Only, when a co-actress nudged him did he notice his assistant holding his phone and calling him frantically.
His assistant had never asked him to answer any calls when he was on stage.
Sensing something important, he slid off the stage. "Who is that? What's the hurry?" he asked his assistant.
"Your brother-in-law, " the assistant replied.
He wondered why his brother-in-law was calling him. "Hello, Harry!" Joseph greeted him cheerfully.
"What is your blood group?" Harry asked straight away.
"B, if I remember correctly, " Joseph answered after thinking for a second.
"Come to Zoria Private Hospital immediately. It's your sister. She needs blood." Harry closed his eyes for a while.
Hearing this, Joseph ran out of the studio, without another word.
The assistant was shocked to see Joseph leave like this. The host and the audience had already begun looking for him.
He could only shoot the host a glance signalling them to move on to the next act. But Joseph's act was
today's highlight. How could that be skipped?
The assistance could not help but call Joseph.
The cellphone rang, and Joseph put on his Bluetooth headset. "Joseph, what's going on? The host is looking for you!"
"I have to attend to an urgent matter. I have to go. Please tell the host that he can tell the audience I will pay for their tickets, and I'll make up for the show some other day, " he replied clearly.
Nothing was more important than his sister's life!
The assistant had no choice but to pass Joseph's message to the host. The audience was upset and created an uproar. Everyone turned to Joseph's Weibo page, demanding an explanation.
Lola had been in the operating room for nearly an hour. Eventually, the door opened again. Two surgeons, whose faces were bathed in sweat, came out of the room, with two crying babies in their arms.
The men hastened to the surgeons. "Congratulations Mr. Lewis. You've been blessed with a baby boy and a baby girl. But they lack oxygen because of the premature birth. We need to place them in incubators."
Harry looked at the two red-cheeked babies - his children, his and Lola's...
"Where's my wife?" he asked the surgeon. The operating room had closed again.
"Mrs. Lewis is still under emergency treatment. Her uterus had ruptured when she was brought here. She has been bleeding too much. It's still hard to tell the details." Harry's heart sank as he saw the surgeon shake her head.
Lola, Lola... He called in his heart.
A boy and a girl made Kevin jump out of his skin. He asked the surgeon to first place the babies in the incubators and then inform Mrs. Herbert to bring all the stuff that the babies would need to the hospital as soon as possible.
Just as the babies were placed in the nursery, Joseph reached the hospital. "Harry! How's my sister?" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
He halted in front of Harry, out of breath. When he saw Harry covered in blood, he couldn't say a word.
Harry stopped a nurse randomly. "Go, get your blood tested, If it turns out to be group B, give as much as possible."
Joseph left with the nurse. Sure enough, his blood group was B, so the nurse drew 1000 milliliter of his blood.
The blood was carried to the operating room. After 20 minutes, a nurse walked out. "Blood is not enough. Two nurses have also donated their blood. I'm going to look for more,"
saying this, the nurse hurried away.
Around 4000 milliliter blood had been used. Hold on, Lola. Your husband and your babies are waiting for you. Harry thought with his hands and heart tightly clenched.
