Hearing a faint sound, Nora looked to the direction of the sound and saw that the face of Murphy turned pale. He put one hand on his stomach and the other on the table.
Nora rushed to him and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue.
"Don't hold on. Go to see a doctor!" She said anxiously.
Then, she dialed 120.
As he was worried about his work, he asked Nora to find Ryan. At this time, Nora was anxious. She stared at him with her eyes wide open, without saying anything.
"Work or life is more important. How can you work well without a good health?" She couldn't help but scold him.
The ambulance soon arrived at the company's downstairs. Hearing the sound of the ambulance, everyone was guessing who was sick and the corridor was full of people.
The company was in a mess.
With the help of Nora, Murphy slowly walked out of the office. Because of the pain, his waist was bent down.
Seeing this, Ryan was shocked. How could it be Murphy? He quickly walked forward, grabbed the other arm of Murphy, and the three slowly walked to the ambulance.
The ambulance went through a special access and arrived at the hospital very soon.
At any time in that city, there were always the most people in the hospital. No one could guarantee that they would get sick if they ate grains.
Ryan asked Nora to sit down with Murphy and then ran to register an expert.
"The operation must be performed for acute gastroenteritis." The doctor ordered.
It was the doctor who had checked on Murphy last time.
Now the pain was too much for Murphy to say anything, and he had no strength to refute.
This time, he was obediently pushed into the operating room, which said that no one was allowed to enter.
Ryan and Nora were waiting anxiously on the bench outside the operating room.
The phone rang. Ryan took a look at it and found that it was a call from the top managers of the company. There was an emergency meeting to be held soon. He had to hurry back, or he would be late.
Nora asked Ryan to go back to the company. She would take care of Murphy.
Ryan left and said he would come back after the meeting.
Time passed.
Outside the operating room, she walked back and forth. Nora couldn't sit down at all. The man lying inside was the man she had loved deeply.
The red words on it kept showing that he was in surgery.
He has been in the operating room for more than an hour. Why hasn't he come out yet? It was not a big operation. How could it take so long!
A lot of questions popped up in Nora's mind, but she denied them all by herself.
Murphy was a strong man. A small operation was nothing to him. Nora comforted herself while thinking.
Waiting like this was the most torturous thing. Every nerve of her was extremely nervous.
She had promised to be safe and sound, but when something happened, she was the first one who couldn't calm down.
After a long time, her hands became numb.
The door was opened.
Murphy was pushed out by two nurses, followed by doctors, anesthesiology masters, and several medical staff. Everyone's face was full of fatigue.
