Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 219 Skyler In Danger

The pediatrician at the hospital was trying his best to save Skyler’s life.

Everyone waited anxiously outside the emergency room. Even Anna showed up in her wheelchair. She grasped Crystal’s hand, hoping to offer the latter some comfort.

Crystal stood the entire time despite feeling,weaker than ever.

She refused to sit down. Her gaze was locked onto the heavy metal doors leading to the emergency room. Crystal was so fearful of missing the moment the operation ended that she hardly blinked.

My precious Skyler is in there. She’s fighting for her life. The doctor said it was a miracle she survived this long. He said the baby could’ve given up by now for she had suffered long enough. But Skyler is still trying her best to breathe every day. She wants to see this world; she wants me, her mom. She can’t bear to leave….

Crystal finally knew how much it ached to see one’s child in pain.

It felt a hundred times worse than when she was in pain herself.

Meanwhile, Henry had finally rushed to the hospital.

David eyed his son and swallowed the rebuke on the tip of his tongue. He knew Henry was equally upset, about the situation.

After all, everyone loves Skyler.

Julia and Melora’s faces were wet with tears. Julia suppressed the urge to burst into a fresh wave of tears and said softly to Henry, “Could you get Crystal to sit? She’s barely ten days out of giving birth!”

It pained Julia to see Crystal in her current state.

She knew that giving birth took a huge toll on a woman’s body, let alone one like Crystal’s, which was still suffering from various other injuries.

Henry grabbed a chair for Crystal, but still, she refused to sit. In the end, he could only force her to lean against him. She protested briefly but eventually stopped.

Four hours later, the emergency room doors finally swung open.

The doctor came out and explained tiredly, “The emergency procedure was a success, but the situation is far from an all-clear. You’d do well to brace yourselves.

Everyone understood his words immediately.

He was basically telling them that the success of future operations was not guaranteed.

It was a warning to prepare for the worst lest the situation took a sudden downturn.

No one could bear to suggest the idea of giving up on Skyler’s life.
