Kevin was very agitated, "How could this happen?" He wondered what had made Lola suddenly suffer a massive hemorrhage and premature labor.
When Harry thought of what had happened and of the woman, who had caused it to happen, his eyes turned red. He hated her so much that he wanted to kill her personally after he had ensured that Lola was fine!
Kevin had not seen his son's eyes flash so much anger like this before. He was shocked and wondered what on earth had happened.
Time passed, but Chuck still didn't come out of the operating room. "Father, you can see the babies first!" said Harry. He was exhausted and looked at Kevin who sat next to him.
Kevin nodded. He knew that the babies also needed to be taken care of.
After giving blood, Joseph was full of vim and vigor again shortly afterwards and ran towards Harry. He wanted to ask what had happened, but when he saw a dispirited Harry, he didn't dare.
So, he took out his phone and called his parents, but found their phones to be switched off. They are probably on the plane by now, he thought.
Three hours later, the nurse ran into the operating room again, carrying 2, 000 milliliters of blood.
Harry, who kept clenching his fists, fixed his eyes on the operating room's door.
Four hours later, Landon, Harold and his wife, Jordan with his child in his arms, and Wendy who was pregnant, rushed to the hospital in a state of panic.
"Harry, How is Lola?" asked Angie. When she saw the blood on Harry's clothes, Angie, who was a female officer and was usually calm, became very upset. Her eyes became red and almost filled with tears. A woman was risking her life to give birth to a child. And this was not the first time. Lola had suffered a massive hemorrhage when she had given birth to Nicole also.
Harry looked at everyone and replied truthfully, "She has been in the operating room for more than four hours. The babies have been taken out of it, but she still remains there."
When they heard his words, everyone became very anxious. Lola had been in the operating room for more than four hours...
Joseph looked at Jordan and said, "Jordan, your blood type is also B, right? Go and get yourself tested and give blood. Sister has been receiving blood transfusions and she needs more blood." Jordan immediately passed Colin to Angie and went to look for the blood drawing room to give blood.
Twenty minutes later, Jordan walked back to the group, looking pale.
A nurse, with a blood bag in her hand, caught up with Jordan and said, "Mr. Li, 1, 500 milliliter of your blood has been drawn just now, so you must eat something to replenish your strength." Seeing Jordan nodded and acknowledge her words, she took the blood, which was used to save Lola's life, into the operating room.
1, 500 milliliters? The others were surprised and looked at Jordan. Only 1, 000 milliliter of blood at max could be drawn from an average person at a time, and 1, 500 milliliter exceeded the standard...
Harry made a note of the sacrifice that Jordan and Joseph had made for Lola.
Wendy, meanwhile went out of the hospital and bought Jordan some milk and bread to help him recover.
After five hours and twenty-six minutes
The light of the operating room switched off and Chuck came out of the room. But the group still couldn't see Lola.
Harry ran up to Chuck, whose eyes were exhausted and forehead was covered with sweat. He took off his gauze mask which had some blood drops on it.
"Harry, Lola... Well, we've managed to stop the bleeding and sew up her uterus, but she is still very weak. If she doesn't wake up within the next 24 hours, she might..." Everyone knew what he meant, even before he had finished the sentence.
Harry tightly grasped Chuck's arm and looked at him, his eyes filling with disbelief.
Landon could not even get up from the chair. With their eyes full of tears and their whole bodies flaccid, both Angie and Wendy leaned in Harold's and Jordan's arms respectively.
"Chuck Si..." Harry's voice became hoarse. Unable to say anything else, he finally released Chuck from his grip.
When Chuck saw the sadness that permeated Harry, he also grieved. After all, he had also loved her... once.
Later, several nurses pushed the gurney with Lola out of the operating room. "She has to be taken to the intensive care unit now. So if you want to see her, be quick!" said one of them.
