Chapter 417

“… it’s a very important mail.”

It was at that moment that Nora finally realized that she had immediately gone with them to get Quentin after waking up that morning, so she hadn’t seen the DNA test results yet.

She wanted to pull out her phone to take a look, but as soon as she put her head down, she fainted.

Luckily, Justin had already sensed her condition some time ago, so he immediately grabbed her around the waist and caught her. Otherwise, Nora might have fallen straight to the ground the moment she lowered her head.

“Nora!”

“Nora!”

The two men exclaimed. Justin immediately took Nora in his arms as Joel took the chauffeur’s car and sat in the driver’s seat.

Justin got into the car. Joel stepped on the accelerator and the car started off at full speed. It usually took twenty minutes to get to the hospital, but Joel arrived in only five minutes.

Despite this, Justin kept urging him to go faster as they drove.

When they arrived at the hospital, before the car stopped, the doctors that Justin had rounded up with a phone call were already waiting for them at the door.

Justin carried Nora out of the car in his arms and put her on the gurney. Only when she was being wheeled into the operating room did everyone discover that her red dress had already been covered in blood for some time.

She… Was she hurt?!

Justin and Joel were very worried. They shouted to the doctor angrily, “Hurry up and check her wounds!”.

At that moment, Lily, who was watching Quentin, approached. The woman wearing a white lab coat slipped through the crowd and said, “Please stand back! Let me see my boss.”

Justin waved. The others immediately stepped aside.

Lily stepped in front of Nora. When she saw the blood stains on her, she became even more anxious. “Why is she bleeding so much? Quick, get her to the operating room.”

The group of people entered the operating room with great momentum.

Five minutes later.

Lily came out of the operating room. The moment she came out, Justin and Joel got up and rushed over to her. “How is she?”

The corners of Lily’s lips tightened, apparently not quite sure how she should answer him.

Justin grew even more anxious. “What kind of injuries has she suffered? Why is she in a daze? Go save her.”

“… She’s not hurt,” Lily said.

Justin was taken aback.

Joel asked, “So the blood she has is…?”.

The corners of Lily’s lips twitched again as she replied, “She has bruises on her hands, probably from hitting people. But the blood on her dress does belong to other people.”

“?? Then why did she pass out?” asked Justin.

Lily was speechless again. Then she replied, “The boss lady fell asleep.”

“…”

She thought back to the awkward scene in the operating room.

When she took out a pair of scissors and cut off her boss’s clothes, she saw that the woman’s skin was clean, clear and delicate. She had no wounds.

In the end… he gave his boss a bath.

Yes.

His boss was a very clean person. How would she be able to sleep peacefully without a bath?

Justin: “…”

Joel: “…”

The way she fell asleep was simply too abrupt. Who would suddenly fall asleep while talking?

Apparently seeing that the two men were puzzled, Lily coughed and explained, “She’s out of energy. This has happened to him before, too, when we were overseas. He once performed a 15-hour operation, which ended well beyond his usual sleeping hours. When she came out of the operating room, it looked like something had gone wrong with Cherry’s Great Aunt, so she stayed awake for another long period of time. Eventually, she passed out and fell asleep.”

Hearing that it had happened before, Joel breathed a sigh of relief.

Justin, however, was still worried. “How long will she be asleep?”

Lily thought about it and said, “My conservative estimate is two days.”

Justin frowned. “What about sustenance? She can’t stay hungry, can she?”

Lily sighed. “We won’t be able to wake her, especially when her exhaustion is even more severe this time. Her muscles didn’t relax once. She’ll be unconscious for at least two days. As for food, you don’t have to worry. I will transfuse nutritional supplements to his drip regularly.”

Justin: “…”

Joel: “…”

“By the way, there is some good news.” Lily said, “The person in ICU that the chief asked me to observe is out of danger now. However, it will be difficult to get him back on his feet in the future.”

How was one to stand up when all his bones were broken?

He was still alive only because Anti had operated on him personally, had merged modern and traditional medicine during the treatment process, AND had given him medical treatment in time!

Hearing this, Joel looked down and let out a heavy sigh.

This huge incident in the New York martial arts circle was shocking.

However, it did not affect the lives of ordinary people, or at least, only a handful of ordinary people were aware that Big Sister and Big Brother had upheld the dignity of the martial arts scene in America that night.

Even Nora’s friend Tanya didn’t know what had happened. As usual, she was tutoring the children in the garden, and she was also giving Mia an extra dance lesson in private.

When the Smiths went to pick up the three children from the garden in the afternoon, after the lessons were over, there was no sign of Joel in the car. It was then that she finally realized that Joel hadn’t contacted her all day.

Was it because…he had refused to be Mia’s mother the night before?

Tanya looked down, her imagination running wild. Pete and Brandon got into the car and drove back to the Smith mansion.

Tanya took Mia home and gave her dance lessons.

By nine o’clock that night, even though it was Mia’s bedtime, Joel still hadn’t come to pick her up.

Tanya left a message for Joel.

Joel seemed to be busy at the time. Finally, he sent her the first message of the day: ‘I have something to do today. Can Mia stay with you one night?’

‘Something to do…’.

The man had never forced her to do anything against her will. If he had said so, something important must have happened.

Tanya was quick to reply, “No problem.”

She convinced Mia to rest with her and they fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly felt that the area next to her was very warm.

She slowly opened her eyes and woke up. When she touched Mia’s forehead, the burning heat made her realize that Mia had a fever.

Tanya woke up in shock. Without a word, she grabbed Mia, got into the car and drove straight to the hospital.

The doctor said it was a minor problem and prescribed Mia a fever-reducing medication. After Mia sweated it out, the fever slowly came down. Tanya then texted Joel and told him the name of the hospital they were at.

Tanya watched Mia throughout the night in the VIP room.

She waited for her fever to break before she finally fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

Hillary and her mother were at the hospital for a checkup. As she passed through a room after the checkup, she saw Tanya and the little girl in the bed.

Her eyes instantly widened. She walked into the room and immediately restrained Tanya. “Tanya, what have you done to my daughter, why is she in the hospital, are you trying to steal my daughter?”

As he spoke, he pushed Tanya, who had just woken up, and tried to pull her out of the room. “I am the child’s mother! Get lost!”

At that moment, Joel, who had finally finished with all the business he had to deal with, finally arrived!

As soon as he went upstairs, he was greeted by the sight of Hillary pushing Tanya toward the door.
