It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 65

“Mrs. Evans, Mr. Evans asked me to wait here for you,” Bob said to Lucia respectfully.

“Oh my God! You almost scared me. Aren’t you the chief assistant? Don’t you have anything else to do? Why did you follow me all day?” Lucia spat, patting her heaving chest to calm herself.

“First of all, Mrs. Evans, I haven’t been following you all day. Second, I’m here on orders from the CEO,” Bob explained patiently.

In fact, he was just as unhappy as Lucia was. He was a chief assistant in a large group, but he was sent to run errands like this. And the person he was supposed to meet was always the same. He really didn’t know what was going through the CEO’s head. “His wife has already left the metro station. Where else could she go? he wondered.

“Why did he ask you to come here?” Lucia asked curiously.

“Sir. Evans said your phone was turned off and he couldn’t contact you. He heard from Dr. Sloan that you didn’t show up for your appointment at the hospital. Therefore, he wants me to make sure you get home. From there, he will personally take you to the hospital.” Bob relayed Malcolm’s message to him.

Lucia looked at Bob for a long moment like he was crazy. Then, without saying anything, she headed towards the apartment. Bob dutifully followed Lucia. When they reached the apartment door, he stopped. It wasn’t until he saw her enter the building, swipe the access card and get into the elevator that he called Malcolm to confirm she was back at the apartment. Then he turned around and left.

As expected, when Lucia opened the door, she saw Malcolm waiting for her in the living room with a gloomy face. She just gave him an indifferent look before pouring herself a glass of water. She drank it in one gulp, then headed toward the bedroom without a second glance. She hated being watched all the time, not to mention being forced to go places she didn’t like.

“Stop,” Malcolm said coldly.

“What’s wrong?” Lucia asked, one hand on the doorknob.

“Why didn’t you go to the hospital this afternoon?” Malcolm asked. It was hard to tell from his tone whether he was angry or not.

“I don’t like going to the hospital. Besides, I’m fine,” Lucia says honestly.

“Wildcat, you are so stubborn. What should I do with you?” Malcolm asked softly.

He got up from the couch, walked over to her and took her in his arms. He rested his chin on her forehead, looking helpless. Lucia remained still and did not struggle against him.

“It’s no big deal. I just don’t want to go to the hospital, okay?” Lucia said coquettishly.

“It’s a big deal. I’m worried about you. I’ll feel better if you get a thorough checkup,” Malcolm said, trying to coax her.

“Malcolm!” You are so stubborn! ” Lucia was so annoyed that she spoke without thinking.

But as soon as she finished her words, she felt a pain in her lower abdomen, more violent than usual. She pressed hard on her stomach , trying to stop the pain. Unfortunately, it only seemed to make it worse. The pain grew little by little, until it hurt so much that she couldn’t stand it anymore. Her face became more and more paler and it soon became impossible for him to speak.

“Damn it!” Worry filled Malcolm’s eyes as he held Lucia tightly. “I’m taking you to the hospital right away.” This time, her voice was firm.

Lucia didn’t even have the strength to argue with him. She didn’t know why the pain had suddenly become so fierce. She felt like all her insides were being scrambled and then squeezed hard. An involuntary hiccup erupted. escaped her lips and her vision blurred. Her hand came up to grab Malcolm’s shoulder for support, but in the end she faltered and passed out in his arms.

Lifting Lucia in his arms, Malcolm immediately went down the stairs. After propping her in the passenger seat with the seat belt, he took out his phone and called Bob. Then he got in the driver’s seat and personally drove to the hospital. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he saw Bob waiting at the entrance. Sloan and a group of medical staff were also present.

“Take Ms. Evans first,” Sloan told his team after learning of the situation from Malcolm. “Inform the gynecologist to prepare for the operating room.” He said the second sentence after a moment of reflection.

“Will she need an operation? Malcolm asked with slight worry in his eyes as he watched Lucia being taken away on a stretcher.

“I’m not sure yet. We can only decide after we get the check result. But I want the operating room ready, just in case. It’s just a guess. I hope that Ms. Evans does not need the surgery,” Sloan explained.

“Sorry to bother you,” Malcolm said.

“Don’t talk about it, sir. It’s our duty,” Sloan replied politely. Then, he quickly headed towards the inspection department.

A nurse led Malcolm and Bob to the VIP waiting room. Outside, the sky was getting darker and darker. dark. The clock on the wall of the waiting room ticked away. After receiving the news, Enoch also rushed to the hospital. After seeing the expression on Malcolm’s face, he chose to say nothing. Finally, the door to the VIP waiting room opened and Sloan walked in with his team.

“Good?” Malcolm asked calmly as he stood up.

“Mrs. Evans is not in good condition. She is suffering from a ruptured ovarian follicle, which must have caused the sharp pain earlier. The chance of this happening is one in ten million. The slight pain in his stomach before was the starting sign,” Sloan said as he looked through the check-up report.

“What’s happening now?” Malcolm slipped one of his hands into his pants pocket

. She was sent to the operating room for an emergency operation. She is in no danger. It’s just a minimally invasive surgery. Don’t worry.” As usual, Sloan’s voice was firm and formal.

“Sloan, what my brother is asking is if the surgery will have any side effects,” Enoch cut in, giving him a look. ” Well

, we won’t know until the operation is complete and the outcome is known. Doppler ultrasound diagnosis alone cannot tell us everything. We will have to wait for the exact result. I’ll report back to you as soon as I have it,” Sloan replied.

“How long will the operation take?” Malcolm asked, taking a deep breath.

“Two hours.” Hearing the succinct response from Sloan, Malcolm didn’t say anything more. After that, Sloan and the other hospital staff walked out. Of course, he knew the exact question on Malcolm’s mind. But as a doctor, he couldn’t say nothing until he had all the data necessary to draw an accurate conclusion.

Ovarian follicle rupture was a very rare gynecological disease. Lucia was really unlucky to experience something that only had a one in ten million chance of happening. Only after surgery would Sloan be able to analyze the degree of damage to the ovary. When a woman’s ovary was damaged, her fertility was inevitably affected. Big rich families like the Evans family would never accept a woman who couldn’t give birth to a baby.

As Sloan returned to his office, he sighed to himself. If Lucia wasn’t able to give birth after this, he couldn’t even imagine the extent of the embarrassment she would experience in the Evans family.

“Malcolm…” Enoch cried out, but the rest of his words stuck in his throat.

“Let’s just wait.” Don’t tell Grandma anything yet, Malcolm said sharply.

“But…” Enoch was about to protest, but when he saw the sullen look on Malcolm’s face, he decided to keep quiet.

Although he wasn’t a doctor, it didn’t take a genius to know that Lucia’s condition was something that could affect her fertility. If things turned out as they feared, then they would face an extremely difficult situation. Exhaling sharply, Enoch paced around the waiting room. “Why do bad things keep happening one after another? » he wondered irritably.

Two hours later, Sloan returned to the VIP waiting room with a serious look on his face. Malcolm glanced at the others, silently waving them off. Soon the only two people left in the room were him and Sloan. He looked at Sloan calmly, waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.

“Sir. Evans, your wife’s situation is a bit tricky. During the operation, we found that one side of her ovaries was badly damaged and needed to be removed. As for the fallopian tube on the other On the other hand, she had a blockage which we cleared during surgery. However, the chances of your wife becoming pregnant in the future are slim. She might even be infertile.” Sloan was professional enough to explain the result calmly, without letting any emotion seep into his voice.

“And the treatment? » asked Malcolm, with an imperceptible shiver in his eyes.

“There isn’t. The damage is irreversible,” Sloan said honestly.

“Sloan, everything you said to me just now can’t leave this room.” It’s just between the two of us. Even my wife doesn’t have the right to know,” Malcolm ordered, pursing his lips.

“But she’s the patient. She has the right to know her own situation,” Sloan said hesitantly.

“No buts. I’ll tell him myself.” Malcolm’s eyes were frozen, making all of Sloan’s protests die in his throat.

“Okay, I understand,” Sloan finally said, nodding. The Workings of a Rich Family was complex and complex. He did not want to interfere in their affairs.

“If there is nothing else, please continue your work,” Malcolm said.

Taking the hint, Sloan left . After a moment, Enoch returned. Looking at the dejected look on Malcolm’s face, he could tell that Sloan must have brought bad news. And yet, he couldn’t help but hope that he was wrong.

“Malcolm,” he shouted, wanting to ask her about Lucia’s condition.

“I’m going to see her. You can go home,” Malcolm said flatly. After that, he walked out of the room without another glance.

“Hey…”

Enoch tried to stop him, but it was too late. After After hesitating for a moment, he headed to Sloan’s office, hoping that he could learn the result from him. However, Sloan told him that he had been instructed not to reveal confidential details about the patient to anyone. irrelevant people. “How unfair! I’m Lucia’s family too, right? Looking at the direction of the room, Enoch narrowed his eyes.

After the operation, Lucia was still unconscious. Standing next to the bed , Malcolm looked at her pale face. Taking a deep breath, he unclenched his fists and gently ran his fingers over his eyes.

“Wildcat, what should I do in such a situation? »

Lucia seemed to have sensed that someone was watching her. As the effect of the anesthesia in her body wore off, she slowly opened her eyes. She vaguely remembered passing out in Malcolm’s arms and being rushed to the hospital. Looking at the IV bottle next to the bed and feeling the dull pain in her lower abdomen, she frowned. ‘What happened to me?’ Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a sign that read: “Do not eat or drink until six hours after surgery.”

“After the operation?” » Looking at this, she was even more confused than before. She gave Malcolm an inquisitive look, trying to figure out what had happened.

“You passed out. You had to have minor surgery, but you’re fine now,” Malcolm told him.

“What happened?” Lucia continued to ask, seeing the strange expression on Malcolm’s face.

“I told you. It was nothing serious. You need to have at least three days of bed rest, so be a good girl and stay here. If you had listened to me and come to the hospital when you first felt the pain a few days ago, you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much,” Malcolm said, knowing that would stop him from asking any more questions.

Sure enough, Lucia pursed her lips displeased and said nothing else. It had never occurred to him that simple abdominal pain could be a sign of such a serious problem. However, the fact that Malcolm continued to avoid her questions instead of explaining things openly to her made her feel like something was wrong. She decided to ask the doctor later about the situation when he came.

But sometimes ignorance was bliss.
