Female Novel
Chapter 233
Once they were done with their intimacy, Maddox spoke again.
"My wife was severely injured. I will not let this go easily."
Jonathan almost had a breakdown. What about him? His wife was lying in the emergency room,and he did not even know whether her life was in danger!
At this moment, the door of the emergency room opened. The doctor came out. "May I know whichone of you is Bianca's family?"
No one answered!
The doctor frowned. "None of you are related to Bianca Sleet?"
Jonathan suddenly snapped out of his thoughts. He stepped forward and stated, "Doctor, I'm herhusband."
"Sir, your wife has lost a lot of blood. Your child has to be delivered immediately. Can you pleasesign the consent form?" the doctor said.
Jonathan's eyes widened in shock. "The baby has to be pre-delivered? Then... will the baby behealthy?"
"Sir, we can't know for sure how the baby will do, but we will try our best. Please sign the form now.We cannot afford to waste any time."
Jonathan's hands were trembling as he took out a pen and signed his name. After giving it somethought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Doctor, if it's possible... I have one request!"
"What is it?" The doctor glanced at him.
Jonathan clenched his fists as if he had made a great decision. "If it comes to the point that you hadto choose between keeping my wife or my child alive, I want you to save my child!"
The doctor was stunned.
Kimberly, who was on the side, was speechless.
She widened her eyes as she couldn't believe what she just heard.
"Did Jonathan really just... told the doctor to fight for his child over his wife? What about his wife?Does he not want her anymore?" Kimberly thought.
Feeling the world had suddenly fallen silent, Kimberly shivered slightly. She could not believe thisman whom she had spent two years in a marriage with was so cold-hearted. After spending twoyears with him, she still could not understand this man. Unexpectedly, this sc*mbag was so ruthlessand heartless...
All of a sudden, Kimberly began to feel sorry for Bianca. Based on what she had said, she musthave been another one of his poor victims.
Kimberly couldn't help but curse at him, "Jonathan, you are inhumane!"
Jonathan looked back at her. "Mind your own business. You are the cause for all of these. Do youwant to pretend you have nothing to do with this?"
Kimberly sneered, "You should know well the reason she came to find me, right?" Jonathan feltguilty upon hearing that. He shrank his neck and turned to the doctor, "That's all from me. Thankyou."novelbin
But unexpectedly, the doctor retorted, "Sir, our hospital policy states that if we have to choosebetween the mother or the child, we have to save the mother."
"What?" Jonathan frowned. "What do you mean? What kind of stupid policy is that? Shouldn't thefamily members be the ones making the decision for this kind of matter? What does it have to dowith the hospital?"
The doctor ignored him and immediately went back into the operating room. After the door wasclosed, Jonathan wanted to chase after him. The nurse stood in his way, "I'm sorry, sir. This is theemergency ward. Please stop yelling."
Jonathan was so angry. He pointed towards the ward and yelled, "What do you mean there's adefault policy of choosing the mother over the baby? Why will I want to keep the mother? The childis much more important to my family!"
The nurse was a woman. When she heard his straightforward words, she almost wanted to give hima punch. But out of her professionalism, she resisted the urge. In the end, she just saidsarcastically, "Do you need him for your family's inheritance?"
Jonathan was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
"If you don't need the baby for your family's inheritance, why can't you have another baby? Why doyou have to choose the baby over the mother? You might not even want the child if it's a girl, doyou?"
The nurse's words were very frank, and she so happened to have guessed it right. Jonathan's facedistorted with mixed emotions. He pointed at her angrily, "You..."
"She's right." Sam stepped forward and stood in between Jonathan and the nurse. "You're a manwho doesn't even protect your wife. How dare you say something like that under suchcircumstances? Which woman will dare to marry a guy like you in the future? And about yourfamily's inheritance, how much is your family worth?"
Seeing Sam stood up for her, the nurse stared at him with flickering eyes.
Kimberly shook her head helplessly at the scene. She didn't expect Jonathan to be this kind ofperson.
"Do you suddenly feel you were blind to have fallen in love with that kind of man?"
A deep voice sounded in her ear. Kimberly came back to her senses and realized she was still inMaddox's arms.
She lowered her gaze and replied, "Yeah, I misjudged him."
She had never known this is who Jonathan really was. She pursed her lips and whispered, "You canlet me go now. Thank you for what you did just now."
Maddox did not let her go. Instead, he smiled. "To thank me, you have to show it." "Huh?"
She looked up at him in confusion. It was only then Maddox noticed there were a few scratches onher fair cheeks. This would definitely leave a scar.
D*mn it!
Maddox raised his hand and gently stroked her face with his rough fingers. He narrowed his gaze. "Iwill make them pay for this. Now, let's go have your injuries taken care of."
"No!" Kimberly shook her head. "You heard the doctor. They are fighting to keep Bianca alive. I haveto know how this turns out."
"You don't have to be afraid of missing out on any update as long as Sam stays here, right?"Maddox said.
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
It seemed true. Sam was very reliable.
"But..." While she was hesitating, Maddox had already rolled the wheels. Before she could react, hewas already taking her to the clinic in his wheelchair.
"Stay here and keep an eye on things. Give me a call if you have any updates," Maddox orderedSam before leaving.
Sam nodded while looking at their departing figures. "Yes, Young Master Yardley!"
Jonathan wanted to go after them. "Kimberly! Come back here, right now! How dare you run awayafter causing this mess!"
Sam looked at him coldly as he stood in Jonathan's way, saying, "There's no say yet who reallycaused this. But as long as I am here, you are not going anywhere. Don't you even think aboutharassing them!"
Standing there, Jonathan was so infuriated that he could not breathe. Yet, he could do nothingabout it.
On the other hand, Kimberly had been whisked away by Maddox in his wheelchair. She was seatedin his lap. This strange act attracted everyone's gaze in the hospital. Kimberly felt embarrassed andsuggested, "I'd better get down. Let me push you instead."
"You're injured," Maddox said nonchalantly.
"My injuries are not that serious."
"They are very serious."
Kimberly paused and tried again, "I can walk."
"Shut up." Maddox suddenly stopped moving. He lowered his head and stared at her lips, "If youspeak again, I will kiss you right here, right now."
Kimberly widened her eyes in horror and covered her mouth.
"Forget it, I'd better shut up," she thought to herself.
