Female Novel
Chapter 617 Brent Close to Death
At the LJ Hospital.
Keeping watch outside the intensive care unit.
Mr. Ward, Yael and even Lone Wolf were all exhausted.
Their eyes were all bloodshot and swollen; their faces looked withered and sallow.
They have been here for 3 days, taking care of Brent for 24 hours per day, it was truly exhausting.
Yael and Lone Wolf could just about manage.
However for someone as old as Mr. Ward this was particularly overwhelming.
Mr. Ward was even struggling to keep on standing; to the extent his whole body now had to rest on the
wall just to keep upright.
Yael rubbed his sore and dry eyes and then said to Mr. Ward, “Mr. Ward, you should go back and take
a rest. You are too old now to stay awake without sleep for three days.”
“I’m fine.”
Mr. Ward refreshed himself and tried to make himself look a little more energetic and alert. He then
said with a wry smile, “Right now the situation at home is in a bit of a mess, I can not sleep well even I
go to sleep, do not worry, I can handle it.”
“But I can see you are struggling.” Yael sighed, for he had seen just how much Mr. Ward had been
suffering the past three days.
This old man of seventy years of age, who had been put through such suffering with no sleep and no
rest for the past few days, was pushing himself too hard. In addition to this, within these past three
days there had been a countless number of complicated and serious matters he had to deal with.
“I will be fine!”
Mr. Ward’s eyes were sharp, and then feeling furious suddenly he roared at Yael, “I said I’m fine, so
that means I’m fine!”
Yael and Lone Wolf were both taken aback.
Faced with Mr. Ward’s sudden anger, Yael didn’t argue back, for he could clearly see that there were
tears in his bloodshot eyes.
He sighed inside.
Yael glanced at the door of the intensive care unit.
Brent had been inside there for three days now, for his condition was still too critical to come out.
Yael couldn’t even remember how many critically ill notices he had to sign already.
This was because not only did he have to sign some of them, but Mr. Ward and Lone Wolf had also
had to sign some as well.
Every time a critical illness notice was sent out, in order to give Brent more time they signed it
immediately.
Finally.
The door opened.
Director Lansing walked out rather gravely.
Mr. Ward and the others hurriedly went over to greet him and asked about Brent’s situation.
Director Lansing shook his head, “The situation does not look good.”
As he said this he then took out a critical illness notice and asked, “Which one of you will sign it?”
His tone was very heavy.
The three of them felt dejected when they saw the critical illness notice.
“I will sign it!”
Mr. Ward then signed it immediately.
When he saw that Director Lansing was about to go inside again, he hurriedly grabbed him and asked,
“Could you please give some more details regarding the situation?”
Usually hospital never told patients or their families the full details of the patient’s conditions and they
barely gave a final saying.
This was because no one could ever be sure if something unexpected would happen.
However as he looked at the three of them exhausted, he decided to give them more details, but what
he said made all of their hearts sink.
Director Lansing said, “Fortunately he is strong, but for now we have done everything we can, and now
it is up to him whether he will make it through this or not.”
Their faces all turned pale, and they all staggered back.
Once Director Lansing had gone back inside the ICU, the three of them returned to their senses.
Simply put, Brent was very close to death.
If there was nothing else the doctors could do then it was all up to him.
He was already inside the gate of heaven and hell, just one more step forward and this would be his
demise.
If the only thing keeping him alive was his strong will, then was this really enough?
“I really can’t tell everyone about this, especially Daisy.”
Mr. Ward said decisively in a deep voice.
Yael and Lone Wolf both agreed and nodded together.
If there was sudden news of the death of a beloved one, it really would be too much to handle for
everyone.
While the three of them were busy outside.
Although Amber, Daisy and Vinna were currently back at the house.
However everyone knew that Amber was still devastated about what had happened to Jack, and Vinna
was struggling in dealing all the matters.
Daisy was the only one who was keeping things stable at home.
However everyone knew the feelings that Brent and Daisy had for one another.
When Brent was moved into the ICU, Daisy was more anxious than anyone. In order to stay calm she
had been relying on her strong temperament.
However if she was to hear about this piece of news, without doubt this would be too much for her to
bear.
“Lone Wolf, you keep watch tonight.”
Mr. Ward ordered Lone Wolf.
He then left together with Yael.
“Is there something I can help with?”
Their path was then suddenly blocked by Lyndall who had come over to them in a wheelchair.
Jack was in an accident and Brent was moved into the ICU, so Lyndall was naturally also worried.
Lyndall’s current state was that he had recovered enough to ride in a wheelchair, but after he had heard
that Mr. Ward and the others were outside the ICU, he rushed over without hesitation.
Even though what had happened was such a big event, if he could just help a little then it was better
than nothing.
Mr. Ward shook his head and said, “Just keep on resting and recuperating.”
“Did you not find out any news?” Lyndall was a little bit disappointed, but he still asked after having
many questions stuck in his mind for the past three days.
From Jack’s accident to now he had been in the ward for three days, and hadn’t even seen Mr. Ward
and the others.
“You…”
He was already exhausted, but being cornered like this was making Mr. Ward angry.
However, seeing Lyndall feel rather upset, he swallowed back down his words and walked aside.
Yael sighed and said to Lyndall, “The surveillance footage around the TM Villa District has been
destroyed by someone. But luckily that night some residents who had been in the area by chance
found Brent who had been lying in his own pool of blood and immediately got him to the hospital. But if
they had found him just moments later then he would have been dead.”
Lyndall’s pupils shrank and looked worriedly at the closed ICU door.
“How is he?”novelbin
Yael shook his head and said gravely, “He is in a very critical condition; it has been luck so far that he
has survived these past three days.”
Yael’s words were sincere, and there was no sign of him making any kind of joke about the situation.
If it wasn’t for luck then Brent never would have been discovered and brought to the hospital.
If he wasn’t found at that time, then the next day it would have been entirely possible that Brent would
have been dead lying in a pool of blood.
Yael recalled the time when he rushed to the hospital to see Brent’s injuries, and at the time even he
couldn’t help but feel frightened.
Yael pointed a finger at the door to the ICU and said, “The only clue we can get to find out what
happened the other night is if Brent can survive and tell us himself.”
The only clue?
Lyndall’s heart beat rapidly.
Would this take a miracle?
Taking a deep breath, Lyndall said “I’ll be here to stay watch, and since my injury is no longer serious,
staying up late is fine.”
With Jack in trouble, and Lyndall’s current state, he was the only person left who could help out with the
situation, so he felt thankful and said, “Alright, thanks!”
Yael then said, “I really hope a miracle will happen.”
“I am leaving, it’s much better to believe in yourself than believe in a miracle!”
Mr. Ward then irritably dragged Yael away, “Fate is hard to overturn, but man can triumph over nature.
Throughout my life, I’ve never believed in miracles, only in myself!”
The two of them then walked out of the hospital.
Mr. Ward’s phone then rang.
As soon as he answered the phone, Mr. Ward suddenly looked flustered.
After he hung up the phone, Yael frowned and looked at him nervously and asked, “What’s going on?”
Mr. Ward looked at the ground with dull eyes, and when Yael asked him what’s wrong, his body
trembled.
A bitter smile of despair suddenly appeared on his face, “Misfortunes never come alone. Although it’s
been three days and George isn’t dead, however Patrick held a family meeting and has revealed an
assassination mission being led by the Dark Net Assassin Squad.”
