Chapter 458 – Snatching a Man from Death’s Hand
With this word from Moren Howard, what followed went far too smoothly.
Mr. William and York Charlie they have been old friends for many years, having him come back for an operation is nothing more than a word from York Charlie.
“Old friend, how about coming back to catch up, kind of missed you.” After sending off Moren Howard, York Charlie made a phone call to that old friend who was enjoying a good time on vacation somewhere.
Dr. William, who had white skin, blue eyes and a high nose, was enjoying a leisurely sunbathing in Bangkok, and as soon as he received this call from his best friend, he could feel the unusual atmosphere.
York Charlie would actually take the initiative to call him? Invite him back to his country? What else could it be if there wasn’t something going on in there?
And would he jump at the chance, the answer was thoughtfully, yes he would.
“You’re being polite because you have something you need to bother me with, aren’t you?” William smirked as he exposed the other man, his tone not at all polite as he disliked him back.
“You can also interpret it like this, come back or not, give me the word, I want you to come back immediately right away and book the fastest flight possible.” York Charlie’s words also do not beat around the bush at all, he has always been like this.
Treating friends, always is the best use of things, the key moment can not help the person is still considered what friends?
“Come back come back, I’m really scared of you, I’ll be right back.” William on the other end did not have the good temper to speak, still holding a glass of high-class French red wine in his hand that he had not yet finished tasting.
After hanging up the phone, back to their hotel accommodation, simple packing luggage with passport and visa to go to the airport to apply for the return procedures, everything is in the high-speed rate of operation.
After completing the appropriate procedures, returning to China is just a matter of two hours.
On the airplane, William squinted twice to refresh himself, ready to deal with the trouble of returning home.
He and York Charlie have been friends for many years, and naturally knew that if the other party did not have something important to do, he would not bother himself, and even more so, he would not trouble himself.
There must be one thing that he had to use him for, and it was very likely that this thing had something to do with his only strength.
His only strength is that he has already occupied the first chair in the cardiology field at a young age.
A series of surgeries regarding the heart had never made a single mistake under his scalpel.
His scalpel has never been praised by the industry’s conscience and will only be used to save lives.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for him to operate, that is, he ensures that the person he can save back, alive is the person he has fifty percent certainty that he can save back.
This so-called fifty percent is nothing more than snatching people in the hands of the God of Death.
He could almost conclude that there was going to be a very difficult surgery waiting for him to make a big difference when he got back home.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
That was why he had to raise his energy on the airplane to prepare himself to deal with it, so that when he played, he wouldn’t be out of shape.
However, when he returned to China and learned the whole story, after learning that the person he was going to use the scalpel on was actually a tiny newborn baby, his hand that was used to holding the scalpel really couldn’t restrain itself from trembling a little bit.
Let him in a newborn child’s heart to open the knife … this kind of difficult work, indeed is a little too much challenge to self composition in which exists.
To make a knife to a child that was just born less than a month ago, it is a bit too cruel, and it makes his heart feel reluctant to give up.
William, York Charlie, Moren Howard, and Blanche Capra are gathered in a small room at the hospital, discussing the next step.
Among them, Moren Howard is the most anxious, just now they have gone to the intensive care incubator to check the child’s condition, is a dying state.
If even Mr. William could not do anything, he was afraid that it would be difficult to save his child.
“Mr. William, how is it? Can my child be saved? Speak up, no matter what the result is, I will face it and I can bear it.”
Looking at the father who was eager to save his son, William’s eyes looked more grave.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally revealed what he had to say, “I’m only fifty percent sure, after all, the child is too small. Whether it’s alive or dead, I don’t have absolute certainty.”
Fifty percent, it is really a hanging and dangerous percentage.
These words could be considered an extremely harsh presence in Moren Howard’s ears.
He froze in place, staying frozen for a while, his mind constantly going to the figure of fifty percent, enough to make his heart ache.
Wouldn’t that be a 50/50 split between life and death, and whether or not his child survived was up to God’s will?
“Mr. William, if the child doesn’t have the surgery, then he will definitely die right? Does that mean there is a chance of survival if the surgery is performed?” Moren Howard asked in a sad and hopeful tone.
William answered his question with a firm “yes”.
Hearing the word “yes”, Moren Howard’s eyes were deep and complex as he replied, “I agree to the operation, and no matter what the outcome is, I won’t blame anyone.”
If you want to blame, you can only blame him as a father, who had made so many mistakes before, causing all the bad consequences to fall on his innocent child.
“The surgery will take place in three days, I will prepare everything, and at the same time I will closely monitor the child’s situation during these three days, you can rest assured of this.” William spoke dutifully.
Since he had agreed to save a patient, then he would be responsible to the end, no matter how difficult this surgery actually was.
After receiving William’s assurance, Moren Howard returned to the hospital room to inform Elena Lawrence, who was still lying in the hospital, about this matter.
After hearing what Moren Howard had to say, Elena Lawrence had mixed feelings. She was happy that their child still had a chance of survival, but sad that it was not easy to come by.
Maybe it was so close that their child would be taken away by death.
But she had to accept the arrangement, after all, it was the only last way.
“Moren, I’ll accept whatever the outcome is.” After saying these words, she dropped tears with unstable emotions, and soon the crystals that had accumulated in her eyes slid down her face one by one to condense into a line of tears.
Moren Howard sat on the side of the hospital bed and embraced the other side, his hand constantly smoothing the other side’s undulating back.
Looking at the woman in his arms this sad appearance, he also felt the same.
Who said that this world does not have the existence of the phrase empathy, it is only those who have not tried to empathize, only to mistakenly think that there is no just.
“Elena Lawrence, it’s going to be okay, our baby will survive. Let’s have faith in our child in Mr. William.” Moren Howard made a simple persuasive remark, while at the same time taking far-fetched comfort in himself.
There is a ray of hope, it is better than not even a ray of hope, at least now there is still a hope, not even a hope, all day long sad life.
Counting the last days until the month came and went to send their child away.
Elena Lawrence has already snuggled in each other’s arms, crying to the point of sobbing uncontrollably, can not say a word, can only hear a series of choking sound.
Outside the hospital room, Watson, who had come to visit, saw these two embracing each other inside, and couldn’t help but silently retract his hand that was ready to knock on the door, and walked towards the road, leaving this space for the two of them.
Originally he had come once a day, wanting to give Elena Lawrence a little warmth so that she wouldn’t be so sad and desperate.
