Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 429

429 A Silver Lining

Anna's heart began to race. "I'll go in and take a look," she said, then prepared to enter the operating room.

Hey! What are you doing, Dr. Gabriel? You're not dressed in a surgical gown! This is completely unprofessional." The nurse looked at her in surprise.

It wasn't until then that Anna realized she had been so frantic that she had forgotten common sense. Then she went to the dressing room right away to sterilize herself and put on the surgical gown. When she entered the operating room, she was still distracted.

Many doctors were gathered in front of the operating table. Anna could not get near the table, and she did not dare to rush in. As a result, she was forced to stand outside the crowd. The surgical gown was heavy and made her sweat all over.

She was so far away from the operating table that she couldn't tell if the man on it was Wayne or not. But she had a gut feeling that it was him.

"What brings you here?" A nurse next to Anna asked

"I came to see this surgery;" Anna said absentmindedly.

"This patient is in poor health. To be honest, I believe we will have to apologize to his family later."

"He's not doing well?" Anna's face instantly turned pale. She felt as if all her strength had vanished instantly, and she couldn't even stand stil.

"When he arrived at the emergency room, we had no idea what was 428 A Silver Lining wrong with him. We measured his intracranial pressure and discovered that he was in a bad condition. The head of the brain department met to discuss what to do for him, but the truth was that he had little chance of survival. The success rate of craniotomy was low, but it was the only option. So, after informing his relatives, they operated on him."

"Is it possible for him to survive?"

Actually, there's just little hope for us. I heard that the doctors were preparing the death certificate, and they will have to sign it if the operation fails."

Anna was stunned and devastated. She barely avoided falling down by holding on to the surgical bed beside her. She thought, No! What2/Am/dreaming? No, no, no... If... If! wake up, will Wayne be there for me? Right, | must be dreaming!

The instruments suddenly made a jumbled sound. Then, she looked up and attempted to see through the crowd to the scene inside. Her ears were ringing, and she felt dizzy.

"Oxygen."

"His heart rate is low."

"Pacemaker."

The fluctuating EKG eventually faded to a flat, straight line. The line continued, but his heart stopped. Everyone fell silent, and no one made another sound.

"Death time"

"Sign the form and deliver it to his family."

Before collapsing on the floor, Anna felt that her world was falling apart. As if fallen into a deep sleep, she seemed to have had dreamed of a man leaving her. 428 A Silver Lining

Two hours later, Anna was finally awake.

"Is everything OK?" Nancy asked her.

Hearing that, Anna opened her eyes and found herself in the intern's lounge of the hospital, with Nancy sitting beside her.

"Nancy?" she asked, puzzled, touching her brow. "What am I doing here?"
