One Night Surprise

Chapter 322 She Is My Life

“Anyone here is a family member of Courtney Hunter?” The nurse’s voice resonated in the hallway. An unprecedented weight that felt as heavy as lead bound Alexander’s feet, making it hard for him to even lift a foot. After a while, he finally returned to his senses. “Over here! I’m here!” He cut through the crowd and muttered in a trembling voice, “I’m Courtney’s family member.”

Holding an operation consent form in her hand, the nurse was rather indifferent as she was used to witnessing death.

“The patient’s left part of the chest was punctured by rebars. It’s very near her heart, so it will be a high-risk operation. At the moment, the doctors are giving her emergency treatment in order to save her life. Please put your signature here.”

Upon hearing her explanation, Alexander felt as if a bomb had exploded in his head. He froze on the spot as he couldn’t begin to imagine how it was like to have rebars in a person’s chest.

“Sir? Sir, are you alright?”

Alexander’s signature on the papers seemed stiff, and the noise around him seemed to fade into the background as if he was no longer part of everything. He stared at the gap of the operation theater’s doors with reddened eyes, as if staring would enable him to see the situation inside.

Ten minutes after the nurse had entered the operation theater, there was some noise coming from around the corner of the hallway.

It turned out that Bill, Shay and Casey had all rushed to the scene.

“How is my sister?” Shay asked in a panic.

With pursed lips and slightly trembling brows, Alexander stood still like a statue. After a moment, he repeated what the nurse had told him earlier.

“How could this happen?!” Shay’s eyes reddened and he suddenly grabbed Alexander by the collar. “Alexander, you were supposed to take care of my sister!” he yelled.

“Maybe the situation is not that terrible.” Casey held Shay’s arm and frowned as he looked at the timer above the operation theater that showed the duration of the surgery. “Don’t worry, nothing is certain yet. She is now undergoing emergency treatment.”

Shay, however, tightened his grip around Alexander’s collar, as if he didn’t hear a word that Casey said. “Alexander, remember your promise to me back then? That’s my sister inside!”
