Female Novel
Chapter 1877
Staying In A Single Ward
Three hours later, Johann and another doctor walked out of the operating room.
The nurse beside them called out, “Is Tyrone's family here?"
Keith and Larry helped Aunt Jenny up. They brought her to the door of the operating room. Nina stoodup too when she heard it, and she came forward.
Johann glanced at Percy and Nina. He slightly nodded his head to greet them.
Nina looked at Johann's expression, unable to figure out whether or not the surgery had succeeded.She was so nervous that she squeezed Percy's hand.
"Tyrone's surgery was a success. We successfully extracted the glass shards out of his brain whileremoving the blood clots. But the patient's wounds are complicated. We still need to transfer him to theICU for another 24 hours of observation. We'll only transfer him to the general ward if there's nothingwrong with him," said Johann. There was no expression on his face when he said that.
After becoming a doctor for such a long time, Johann's face was expressionless even if the surgerywas a success.
"Really? Doc, can I go in there and take a look at my son?" Aunt Jenny was still worried.
Johann shook his head. "It's not the ICU's visiting hours now. You'll have to wait until the working hourstomorrow. Only then will the ICU will allow family members to visit the patient. And be sure not to leavefirst. It'd be better to have one of the family members here. We'll need someone to decide for thepatient if anything happens."
"Alright, alright. I'm staying here." Aunt Jenny took the initiative to stay as she was worried about herson's condition.
Johann shot Percy a glance after he said what he had to, then left.
The nurse cleared her throat and said, "Excuse me, the amount of money in the patient's bank accountthat was provided earlier doesn't seem to contain enough money. It'd be better if his family memberscould deposit some money into the account."
"Leave it to me," said Nina. She knew that no matter who paid for the medical bills first, she would bethe one who would pay for them eventually. That was why she took the initiative to say that.
"Just bring your card there." After that, the nurse showed the glass shards that were removed fromTyrone's brain. They were bright green-colored glass shards. Nina fell silent when she saw that.
"These are the glass shards that were removed from the patient's brain. Please take a look at them,"said the nurse.
Aunt Jenny suddenly burst into tears when she saw blood on the glass shards. “Oh my goodness. Itmust've been so painful to have such sharp glass shards pierced into his brain."
Keith turned around and glanced at Nina. He gave up the thought of hitting on her once he knew shehad such a rich boyfriend. Hence, he viciously handed Tyrone's card to Nina and said, "Here you go."
Nina wanted to take it from him, but Percy grabbed her hand and glanced at his assistant beside him."Do it."
The assistant nodded and took the card from Keith. Then, he headed to the payment counter.
Nina lifted her head, looked at Percy, and said, "I'd like to visit my brother."
"Sure." Percy nodded and left the operating room together with Nina.
The Hugh brothers did not put Nina on the spot as someone else would be responsible for this matter.
Nina was informed by the nurse that Jean had already been sent to the ward. Nina and Percy headedupstairs after knowing which ward he was in.
Jean was sent to a ward that could accommodate six patients as there was no special request for otherarrangements. The patients were already resting on their beds when Percy pushed the door open.
Nina realized that she might disturb the other patients if she came to look for Jean like this. They wouldcertainly fight with each other every time they met.
Hence, Nina grabbed Percy's hand and shook her head.
Percy exited the ward, closed the door, and looked at her.
Nina said in a low voice, "I'll come again tomorrow."
"Alright." Percy nodded and left the ward with Nina.
Nina sat in Percy's car, looking outside the window. The trees and plants had turned yellow, and leaveshad fallen from the trees. She was able to see a layer of frost on the tree branches if she took a closerlook.
Nina thought it would snow soon.
"How much are Tyrone's medical bills? Can you give me a number?" Nina said.
Percy raised his brows and asked, "That's how you want to do it?"
"Yes. Please let me know. Otherwise, I think I'd better follow up with this myself." Nina did not want totake advantage of Percy even though it was no secret that she was in a relationship with Percy.
Percy let out a sigh helplessly. "I think I should marry you sooner."
"Huh?" Nina blushed when she heard what he said.novelbin
"The only way to stop you from drawing a fine line between us regarding certain things is for me tomarry you. Nina, everything I have is yours too," said Percy. He did not like Nina being too particular atdifferentiating things between him and her. However, he had no choice but to let Nina do what shewanted since she insisted on doing so.
The only thing he could do to change the situation now was to make Nina his wife.
It seemed like Percy had to bring Nina to the city hall to register their marriage once he was done withhis work. He would tie her up and bring her there if she refused to go with him.
"I never said that I was going to marry you," Nina mumbled in a low voice. However, it warmed herheart when she heard that Percy was planning to marry her.
It seemed like winter was not so bad at all.
“Who are you going to marry if you don't marry me?" Percy asked in a serious voice.
“I'm not marrying anyone," said Nina, playing hard to get.
"You can't say no to me when the time comes. Wait until I finish my work and I'll bring you to the cityhall. I'll tie you up and bring you there if you refuse to go with me," Percy said domineeringly.
Nina felt helpless as she shook her head, but she did not say a word.
She looked outside the window. The bliss in her slowly filled her troubled mind.
It felt good to have Percy beside her...
The next day.
Nina prepared breakfast for Percy with the maid's help after she woke up in the morning.
After the two of them had breakfast together, Nina said, "I'm going to the hospital today."
“Sure. Call me if anything happens," replied Percy.
The hustle and bustle of the hospital had returned in the morning. It was as though Nina was in anotherworld compared to the silence at night.
Nina went to ask the nurse about Tyrone's condition first. Nina let out a sigh of relief after she found outthat Tyrone was doing well in the ICU. Then, she headed to Jean's ward.
Jean was eating the breakfast that the hospital had delivered to him this morning. He looked at thenoisy surroundings and frowned, feeling dissatisfied.
He was secretly blaming Nina for not making better arrangements for him and letting him sleep in sucha cheap ward.
Nina walked in and saw Jean on his ward bed with a bandage around his head. His face was injuredtoo. Still, he looked energetic.
Nina immediately got furious.
Jean could not be bothered when he saw her expression and just said directly, “Glad that you're here.Transfer me to another ward. I don't need a single room ward. A ward with two or three patients willdo."
Nina raised her brows while looking at his breakfast on the table. She said, “Well, I think this ward suitsyou more."
“What are you talking about? It's noisy here," said Jean. He could not get along with the other patientsand wanted to be transferred to another ward.
"There's no need to. The police officers will be here to look for you soon. You'll be staying in the singleward after that." Nina said coldly.
