Chapter 5 Successful Surgery
“Kate, are you alright?” With a voice filled with concern, Ruth interrupted Kate’s thoughts. Breaking free from the painful memories, Kate’s eyes showed a hint of coldness. She was about to speak when suddenly the lights in the operating room went out. She stood up abruptly and took a few steps forward. Her expression displayed obvious worry. However, she didn’t dare to walk forward; she just stared fixedly at the slowly opening door of the operating room. Eric, is he alright? “Kate?” Ruth tentatively tugged at Kate’s sleeve. Observing Kate’s expression, she suddenly had a bad feeling. Why did she sense that Kate cared a lot about Eric? “You should go.” Kate pushed Ruth, her face showing impatience. She was afraid that Ruth would continue to chatter beside her, and she might lose her temper! But it wasn’t the right time yet. She needed to figure out what was going on with the Lowe Group and what shady things Ruth and Simon had done behind her back. And how did Ruth know that she had stabbed Eric? Why would this woman show up at the hospital at this time? One by one, the blood feuds would settle slowly over time. Kate concealed the hatred in her eyes as she lowered her gaze and added in a low voice, “If Eric sees you here … ” Before she finished, Ruth huddered violently. She clutched her handbag tightly and ran away in an embarrassed manner. Watching Ruth panic and retreat, Kate’s heart grew colder. Haha, isn’t she terrified of Eric? After Ruth left, George hurried over from the other side. Instead of looking at Kate, he went straight to the door of the operating room and asked, “Doctor, how is Mr. Davison doing?” Kate looked over in an instant. Her eyes filled with tears. Several doctors pushed Eric out of the operating room. At this moment, Eric had his eyes tightly closed, his face slightly pale from blood loss, and his thin lips pressed tightly together. Although he was unconscious, his aura was still cold and powerful. Before the doctors could speak, Kate rushed over, her voice trembling as she bombarded a series of questions, “How is his condition? Will there be any complications since the wound is so close to his heart? Will his left arm be affected? When will he wake up?” After a moment of hesitation, the doctor answered, “The surgery was successful. Although the wound was close to the heart, it didn’t damage any major arteries. You send him in at the right time, so there should be no impact on his left arm or overall body function. He just needs blood transfusions and rest due to excessive blood loss.” Eric’s left arm is fine! Kate smiled as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She tightly pressed her hand to her chest, feeling a surge of strong emotions erupted inside her and making her cry and laugh like a madwoman. George hesitated to speak. He glanced at Kate with confusion. He had never seen her care so much about Eric before; could it be … George snorted and turned his head away as he remembered that Ruth had just paid a visit and received a slap from Kate. Moreover, Kate had accused Ruth of trying to harm her. Could it be that the pampere Ms. Lowe is just afraid that something would happen to Mr. Davison and she would end up in jail? Would she really feel sorry for and care about Mr. Davison? How could that be possible? But as George followed Eric’s hospital bed, he suddenly heard a loud thud behind him. The medical staff exclaimed, “Someone has fainted!” “Take her to the emergency room for treatment!” George turned around instinctively, only to find Kate lying unconscious on the ground. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her face was pale. Nurses quickly lifted her up and rushed her into the emergency room.
