Chapter 394
Irene forced herself to stay calm. “I’ll resuscitate the patient.”
“It won’t work.” Stephen said-he knew from the start that the surgery itself was almost hopeless.
In fact, he called in Irene because he had his own agenda.
“You never know until you try!” Irene snapped, ignoring him and pressing her full weight on Layla’s ribs,
pumping as hard as she could.
It was taxing, and she was soon sweating buckets.
Even though beads of sweat as large as peas trickled off her hair and rained over Layla’s face, she did
not give up.
“I’ll save her! I won’t let her die!”
As there was still no response on the ECG, she tried the defibrillators next.
Although Layla’s body rose inches into the air from the jolt, it landed heavily soon after, and there was
still no response.
“Vitals lost,” someone said.
frene flipped out right then. “Who was that?!”
She would save Layla whatever it took-that was the only thought on Irene’s mind, because Layla was
Isaac’s only family and she mattered to him.
However, even as Irene continued with defibrillation, Layla’s body only moved in response to the jolt,
but her vitals were not recovering at all.
Eventually, Stephen stopped her futile efforts. “It’s been half an hour. It’s the same even if you keep
going…
Irene’s eyes were red. “How did this happen? How?!”
Stephen actually averted his eyes, and turned toward everyone else, gesturing for them to leave.
Irene was not aware, but everyone there was loyal to him.
After all, he had instructed many interns, and it was no issue finding a handful whom he could trust..
“Irene,” he said after picking his words. “We need to talk.”
Irene was standing stiffly by the surgical table, however, watching Layla’s lifeless body as if she could
not hear him.
It was as if she had fallen into an icy abyss, enveloped by coldness and darkness, with nothing able to
reach her.
Her mind was empty… until Stephen barked at her, “She’s dead, even if you don’t want to admit it!”
irene turned stiffly toward Stephen then. “You knew-you knew that she couldn’t be saved from the
start.”
“Yes.” Stephen did not deny it.
Irene’s eyes were very red. “Why didn’t you send her to another hospital? There might have been a
chance.
“There was none. It happened out of the blue, and she was already in a coma when she was brought
here.”
Stephen closed his eyes-this was neither what he wanted nor what he wanted to see. However, he also
knew that he called Irene here for this very moment, even though it would completely be against her
will.
“There’s something I want to ask of you-I want you to announce that you’re the one who performed the
surgery on her.”
What?!
At that very moment, she realized that she had worshiped the wrong person.
“I know that you’ll no longer respect me after I ask this,” Stephen sighed. “But if you don’t do it, neither
Mick nor myself will survive this.”
Irene’s lips curled up in a cold smile, and she rasped, “Did you think Isaac will spare Mick just because
I announced that I killed her? You don’t know the man.”
“Actually, I do,” Stephen replied quietly. “As a citizen of Cloud City, it’s inevitable that I’d hear a thing or
two-that’s exactly why I’m asking for your help.”
Irene was left at a loss of words. “So, you knew there’s no saving her, and you called me here to
become your scapegoat?”
“Yes,” Stephen admitted, looking her in the eye as he said so. “I know it’s out of line and absolutely
terrible. for you, but there’s no other choice. This is the only way I can save Mick-he’s genuinely in love
with Yvaine, and he was the one who carried her to me. She was barely alive, and he begged me to
save her. Her injury was so extensive even needed a kidney transplant, and he did not hesitate to give
his kidney to
her.”
“Miraculously, they were a match. Mick is the reason Yvaine survived this long, and I don’t want him to
suffer Isaac Jefferson’s wrath because of this. Yes, there might’ve been hope to turn things around if
Yvaine survived, but she’s dead, and there’s no doubt that Isaac will blame Mick after he made her
lose. her memories. It’s not to mention that the inhibitor chip was exactly why she died anyway.”
“But you’re different. You’re Isaac’s wife, and if you claimed that it was a mishap in the surgical process
and not the chip, he wouldn’t be that eager for reprisals.”
