1354 Rescued
Cheyenne felt as if a thunderbolt resounded in her head, blowing her up to the point of passing out.
A critical condition notice!
Before Florence was out of the operating room, a critical condition notice was issued. This could only mean that her condition was so critical that she could pass away inside at any moment!
Cheyenne’s body went limp, her legs completely weak, and her entire body slid down toward the floor.
If Lucas hadn’t held her waist and supported her, Cheyenne would have collapsed to the floor.
Two streams of tears instantly flowed down Cheyenne’s face.
With one arm around his wife, Lucas looked anxiously at the nurse and asked, “Do you mean that Miss Florence Howard, who is undergoing surgery inside, has suffered complications that might be fatal?”
The nurse said regretfully, “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that’s the case. Our attending physicians have tried their best, but Miss Florence Howard was stabbed close to her heart, and her ventricle is damaged too severely. Her situation is very critical. Of course, the doctors are continuing to do their best and may be able to work a miracle. I’m only following the hospital’s protocol by informing the patient’s family of the situation truthfully. Please prepare yourselves for the worst.”
After completing her task, the nurse nodded and returned to the operating room.
Cheyenne heard word for word exactly what the nurse said. An intense wave of fear engulfed her heart, and she panicked even more.
“No… How could this happen? Why did this happen? She… My mom… How can she die?! I-I haven’t even had a chance to reconcile with her yet!
“If she really dies, I… I will never have a mother again! Lucas, I… What should I do now? What else can I do?” Cheyenne hugged Lucas and cried bitterly.
Seeing Cheyenne breaking down and weeping profusely, Lucas felt extremely heartbroken.
“Cheyenne, it’s going to be okay! The nurse just said that there’s still hope that Florence can be rescued, so don’t give up hope too soon!” Lucas whispered in Cheyenne’s ear, firmly reassuring her.
“Lucas, I’m here! Where is the patient?”
At this moment, the sounds of urgent and hurried footsteps approached, and Maddy appeared in front of Lucas and Cheyenne.
“Maddy!”
As soon as Cheyenne saw Maddy, her eyes instantly lit up, as if she had found her last hope. She rushed over anxiously, grabbed Maddy’s arm, and cried out repeatedly, “Maddy, you must save my mother. You can’t let her die! I beg you. You have to save her…”
Maddy held Cheyenne’s hand and said quickly but calmly, “Don’t worry, Cheyenne! I’ll do my best to save Miss Howard. I’m going to sterilize and change right now. I’ll handle the surgery myself!”
Time was running out, and Maddy didn’t have time to say anything more. She walked straight into the operating room to prepare for the operation.
While hugging Cheyenne, Lucas looked at the door of the operating room and comforted softly, “Since Maddy has already gone in, Florence will be fine. Cheyenne, sit down first. We’ll wait here for the good news from Maddy!”
Cheyenne stared closely at the light above the door of the operating room. After seeing Maddy go in, the spark of hope in her eyes was rekindled, and Lucas’s gentle and comforting voice gradually calmed her nervous and frightened mood.
“Okay, we’ll wait here. We’ll definitely get good news!”
Lucas helped Cheyenne sit on the bench in front of the operating room, but there was immense anger brewing in his heart.
These people were severely injured, and their lives were still in danger, all because of Jensen’s sins!
If it wasn’t for Jensen’s despicable method of suddenly sending the top experts of the Hamiltons to attack these family heads, they would definitely not be lying here now and waiting for a miracle to happen.
At the same time, Lucas inevitably blamed himself.
At the end of the day, the reason the Hamiltons had targeted these helmsmen was that Lucas had forced them by making them unable to leave DC, thus spurring Jensen to resort to such underhanded means.
After all, the serious injuries and terrible plights of these helmsmen who were friends with Lucas were ultimately caused by him.
Right now, the situation in DC was really unfavorable for Lucas.
In particular, the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths, who were among the eight top families of DC, were in a terrible situation. Not only were the lives of their helmsmen in critical condition, but they were also facing the predicament of the joint seizure and attack of the other top families.
Now, these three families didn’t have a leader and were extremely unstable internally. The other families might have already conquered them.
Even if the three families could recover later, the losses they incurred in the one day today would be heavy enough.
“Jensen Hamilton, you really deserve to die!” Lucas cursed with hatred.
He hated Jensen to the bone now.
He had already heard from his people’s investigation that the Hamiltons hiding in DC were Jensen and Brett, his son.
The person who had ordered the assassinations and serious wounding of the helmsmen was Jensen!
The only thing to be thankful for now was that Jensen had only wanted to stir up trouble in DC so that he could take the opportunity to escape from the city. Thus, Jensen had merely ordered the experts of the Hamiltons to seriously injure the family heads without killing them.
Otherwise, Lucas might not have been able to resist snapping Jensen’s neck the moment he saw him!
But despite this, Lucas already had so much hatred for Jensen that he wouldn’t let him off when he returned to the Stardust Corporation! Jensen Hamilton must die!
Time passed slowly, and Lucas and Cheyenne waited outside the operating room for another hour. When the lights of the operating room suddenly went out, the doors finally opened again.
This time, seven doctors came out from inside, walking while taking off the gloves on their hands, face masks, sterile caps, and other things.
The person walking in front was Maddy, who looked exhausted.
Cheyenne rushed forward and asked anxiously, “Maddy… how is my mother doing? Is her condition stable? Is she okay?”
Maddy smiled softly at Cheyenne. “Don’t worry, Cheyenne. Miss Howard is out of danger. As long as she stays in bed and recuperates for a few months, she’ll be as good as before! She’s alright now!”
The tears Cheyenne had been holding in gushed out again. They were flowing freely like a water tap, but this time, they were tears of joy.
“Great! My mother is fine! She’s not going to die! She’s survived!”
“Thank God. I finally have a chance to reconcile with her and can call her Mom myself without having to regret it for the rest of my life!”
With tears of joy, Cheyenne held Maddy’s hand, crying and smiling while saying incoherently, “Maddy, thank you so much! If it wasn’t for you, my mother might have not made it! I… How should I thank you? I have to repay you properly!”
Looking at Cheyenne’s tear-stained smiling face, Maddy and Lucas smiled gently.
With Maddy’s help, it didn’t take long for good news to arrive one after another.
Michael, Tyson, Connor, Clement, and Ray were all out of danger after successful emergency rescue.
