Matthew did not say anything. He just turned his head and looked at her.
Jessica barely smiled and pretended to be relaxed, “Believe me, Dolores is so strong and she will be
fine. When she gave birth to Andrew and Amanda who were twins, she managed to do it successfully
without going through a caesarean section. The mother and children ended up safe and healthy. There
are so many great doctors this time, she will be fine.”
She tried to comfort Matthew as much as she could. Actually, she was also comforting herself as well.
She described it with ease. The fact was that Dolores was in danger too when giving birth to Andrew
and Amanda, but she just did not emphasize it.
Matthew said in a low and hoarse tone, “I will wait for her here.”
Jessica sighed as she knew that she could not console him, so she could only obey him.
At this moment, the door to the surgery room opened and a doctor in blue scrubs came out. Before she
could hand over the surgery consent form, Matthew had already asked, “How is she?”
The doctor said that the surgery was in progress, “The patient is bleeding excessively. We’re doing our
best.”
She handed over the surgery consent form, “This surgery is very dangerous and there is a high chance
that only one can be saved. So, we need the family member to sign. Whether to save the adult or the
baby, the hospital rule is to save the adult, but we need to inform you first.”
Matthew signed the surgery consent form and said, “You must ensure that my wife is fine. Otherwise, I
will make your hospital disappear from this land.”
He put down the pen after signing the consent form. A bloody smell surged from his throat. How could
it be easy to give up his own child?
He was the father and his child had his blood in the body. How could he just give up his child easily?
Nobody would ever know that kind of pain unless he had 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.
Jessica originally wanted to comfort Matthew, yet she could not help but cry herself. She did not want
others to see her crying, so she hid in the corner and cried alone. How could her daughter be so ill-
fated? She thought that she was now at the end of suffering and did not expect that she would have to
go through this challenge again.
Jessica thought it would be great if she could sacrifice the rest of her life for the sake of her daughter
so that her daughter would enjoy a happy and blissful life.
At this moment, nobody dared to approach Matthew and talk to him.
Everybody stood not far away, waiting and hoping that both the adult and the baby would be healthy.
About two hours later, the signal light of the operating room turned green. But after a while, it went dark
as the light was off.
Soon, the door to the surgery room opened and three doctors came out.
Everybody gathered around.
One of the doctors standing in the middle, the same doctor who had been treating Dolores, took off his
mask, “The surgery was very dangerous. The mother suffered a rupture in her uterus leading to severe
bleeding. The mother also went into a coma during the process. After three hours of surgery, the
patient had been rescued.”
The hospital had been well-prepared for Dolores’s case by storing a lot of blood that matched with her
blood type to prevent excess bleeding during the delivery.
The amount of blood she was bleeding was almost as much as a human had changed blood twice.
During the entire operation, blood was pumped into her body while she kept bleeding to maintain the
standard blood pressure in her body.
“It’s great that Dolores is fine, it’s great as long as she is fine,” Jeffery said thankfully.
After all, he had never seen or gotten along with the child before, so he had no feelings. However,
Dolores was the one who was actually alive and she was his sister’s only daughter.
Matthew stood up straight and asked hoarsely, “When will my wife be out?”
“Twenty-four hours later. Although the operation is successful, she is still in a dangerous period. She
needs to be looked after by professionals.” The doctors answered.
“Can I go and have a look?” Matthew asked.
“Nobody is allowed,” The doctor said.
“What do you mean by nobody is allowed?”
Noah interjected and asked.
The doctor said, “As I said, the mother’s condition is still in danger and needs professional care. The
baby has been sent to the neonatal unit for treatment because the baby has been held in the mother’s
womb for too long. I’m afraid you can’t see them now.”
Matthew clenched his fist forcefully until the veins on the back of his hand bulged. He tried to suppress
his pounding heartbeat, “Is my baby still alive?”
The doctor replied yes, “After you signed the form, your wife was still slightly conscious. She
understood your intention but she still asked us to rescue the baby. Although the process was
dangerous, the baby was still breathing fortunately. When the baby was born, the baby was extremely
pale. However, the baby was fully developed after the check-up. Nowadays, the medical facilities are
well-equipped, so it shouldn’t take long to recover after the treatment.”
“Thank you.” He reached out his hand.
The doctor shook hands with him, “It’s our duty.”
Jessica stood the furthest away as she was afraid of hearing bad news. Now, she covered her lips and
smiled while her eyes were still filled with tears upon knowing the news.
Tears were rolling down as she smiled.
After knowing that both the adult and the baby were safe and fine, she then only dared to come over.
She immediately expressed her gratitude to the doctor.
Then, she told Matthew to clean himself up, “Be clean and tidy before you see Dolores. Leave the rest
to me.”
Matthew replied “yes” gently.
Jessica asked Jeffery’s family to take a rest at Dolores’s ward. Noah said, “We better go back now. We
will come back tomorrow.”
They would not 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 did not ask them to stay.
She returned to the ward and saw Jayden bringing two children over.
