Chapter 2079

An hour ago?

Martin froze in his tracks.

It didn't take more than half an hour to get from his house to the Century Grand Hotel. If his sister

Diana had really gone to the hotel to confront him after learning of their mother's accident, they would

have bumped into each other before he left the hotel. But when he had left just moments ago, there

had been no sign of Diana.

Just then, his phone rang again. It was Diana calling.

"Diana," Martin answered immediately, anxiety edging his voice. "Where are you?"

"Hello, is this the brother of the phone's owner? You were listed as a recent contact. I'm a nurse at

Hope Hospital. The phone's owner was in a car accident and was brought here by a Good Samaritan.

She's in critical condition and needs surgery urgently. Could you please come and handle the

payment?"

"What are you talking about?" Martin's world rocked on its axis. "Which floor are you on? I'm on my

way."

"Emergency, twelfth floor."

"Got it."

Without a second thought, Martin dashed to the elevator and shot up to the twelfth floor. He paid the

fee and sought out the attending physician to inquire about Diana's condition.

"The patient has multiple bilateral rib fractures, a sternal fracture, lung contusion, and a traumatic

splenic rupture, among several other injuries. She was in severe shock upon arrival and is in critical

condition."

Martin's heart clenched with worry, and he asked urgently, "When will she be out of the woods?"

"It's hard to say. Even if she pulls through this, there are more hurdles ahead. Rest assured, our

surgical team is doing everything possible to save her."

As Martin stared toward the operating room, lost in concern, his phone rang with a call from the family's

bodyguard.

"Mr. Martin, your mother's attending physician would like to speak with you."

"Alright, I'm on my way." The thought of all three family members hospitalized in one night left Martin

utterly drained.

"Mr. Martin," the doctor began upon seeing him, briefing him on Florence's condition. "Your mother was

in critical condition when she arrived. We performed a series of preliminary exams and symptomatic

treatments. She was vomiting continuously, and before we had the test results, we were worried about

increased intracranial bleeding and hematoma causing high intracranial pressure, so we had to

intubate her and put her on a ventilator."

The doctor continued, "Her blood pressure kept dropping, and the internal bleeding wouldn't stop. Her

heart rate on the monitor was climbing, so we injected red blood cells and plasma and administered

norepinephrine to maintain her blood pressure. We also noted her potassium levels were below

normal, so to prevent electrolyte imbalance, we administered potassium."

Martin didn't fully grasp the medical jargon, but he understood his mother's condition was grave.

"Is she in danger? When can she be cured?" Martin's worry was palpable.

"It's hard to predict. Even if this surgery is successful, there's a high risk of complications afterward. It

will be difficult for her to overcome each one." Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm

Heartbroken, Martin felt as if his world was collapsing. Grasping the doctor's shoulders, he pleaded,

"Doctor, please, you must save her."
