Chapter 775: Chapter 775



.

Matthew didn’t say anything. He just turned his head towards her and looked at her.

Jessica barely smiled and pretended to be relaxed, “Trust me, Dolores is very strong and will be fine. When she gave birth to Andrew and Amanda, who were twins, she managed to do it successfully without going through a C-section. Mother and children ended up safe and sound. There are a lot of good doctors this time, she’s going to be fine.”

She tried to comfort Matthew as much as she could. Actually, she was comforting herself, too.

She described it with ease. The fact was that Dolores was also in danger in giving birth to Andrew and Amanda, but she didn’t emphasize that.

Matthew said in a low, husky tone, “I’ll wait for her here.”

Jessica sighed, for she knew she could not comfort him, so she could only obey him.

At that moment the door to the operating room opened and a doctor in a blue gown came out. Before she could hand over the consent form for the surgery, Matthew had already asked, “How are you doing?”

The doctor said the operation was underway, “The patient is bleeding excessively. We are doing everything we can.”

He handed her the surgery consent form, “This surgery is very dangerous and there is a high probability that only one can be saved. So we need the family member to sign. Whether to save the adult or the baby, the hospital’s rule is to save the adult, but we have to inform you first.”

Matthew signed the consent form for the surgery and said, “You need to make sure my wife is okay. Otherwise, I will make your hospital disappear from this earth.”

He put the pen down after signing the consent form. A smell of blood rose from his throat. How could it be easy to give up his own son?

He was the father and his son had his blood in his body. How could he easily give up his son? No one would know that kind of pain if they hadn’t experienced it before.

He had no choice.

If he had to choose between the two, he could only give up one of them in pain.

At first, Jessica wanted to comfort Matthew, but she couldn’t help crying herself. She didn’t want others to see her cry, so she hid in a corner and cried alone.

How could her daughter have such bad luck? She thought she was done suffering and didn’t expect to have to go through this challenge again.

Jessica thought it would be great if she could sacrifice the rest of her life for her daughter’s sake so that her daughter could enjoy a happy and blissful life.

At that moment, no one dared to approach Matthew and talk to him.

Everyone stood not far away, hoping and wishing that both the adult and the baby were healthy.

About two hours later, the light in the operating room turned green. But after a while, it went dark because the light was off.

Soon the operating room door opened and three doctors came out.

They all gathered around.

One of the doctors who was in the center, the same one who had treated Dolores, took off his mask: “The operation was very dangerous. The mother suffered a ruptured uterus which caused severe bleeding. The mother also went into a coma during the process. After three hours of operation, the patient was saved.”

The hospital had prepared well for Dolores’ case, stockpiling a large amount of blood that matched her blood type to prevent excessive bleeding during delivery.

The amount of blood that bled was almost as much as that of a human changing blood twice. Throughout the operation, blood was pumped into her body while she continued to bleed to maintain standard blood pressure in her body.

“It’s great that Dolores is doing well, it’s great that she’s doing well,” Jeffery said gratefully.

After all, he had never seen or gotten along with the girl, so he had no feelings. However, Dolores was the one who was really alive and was his sister’s only child.

Matthew straightened up and asked in a hoarse voice, “When will my wife be out?”

“Twenty-four hours later. Although the operation was a success, she’s still in a dangerous period. She has to be attended to by professionals.” The doctors replied.

“Can I go take a look?” asked Matthew.

“No one is allowed,” said the doctor.

“What do you mean no one is allowed?” interjected Noah and asked.

The doctor said, “As I said, the mother’s condition is still in danger and she needs professional care. The baby has been sent to the neonatal unit for treatment because it has been in the mother’s womb too long. I’m afraid you can’t see them now.”

Matthew clenched his fist tightly until the veins on the back of his hand bulged. He tried to stifle his pounding heartbeat, “Is my baby still alive?” the doctor answered yes.

The doctor answered yes, “After you signed the form, your wife was still slightly conscious. She understood your intention, but still asked us to rescue the baby. Although the process was dangerous, the baby was still breathing fortunately. When the baby was born, he was very pale. However, the baby was fully developed after the check-up. Nowadays, the medical facilities are well equipped, so it shouldn’t take long for him to recover after the treatment.”

“Thank you.” He extended his hand.

The doctor shook her hand, “It’s our duty.”

Jessica stayed as far away as possible, as she was afraid of hearing bad news. Now, she covered her lips and smiled as her eyes still filled with tears at the news.

The tears rolled as she smiled.

After learning that both the adult and the baby were safe and well, she just dared to approach. She immediately expressed her gratitude to the doctor.

Then, he told Matthew to clean himself up, “Be clean and tidy before you see Dolores. Leave the rest for me.”

Matthew responded “yes” graciously.

Jessica asked Jeffery’s family to rest in Dolores’ room. Noah said, “We’d better go back now. We’ll be back tomorrow.”

They wouldn’t be able to see Dolores even if they waited here today.

Today was Noah’s wedding and the whole family had been out for a few hours already. Surely, they had to go back and explain the scenario. So Jessica didn’t ask them to stay.

She went back into the living room and saw Jayden bringing two children.
