Ice and Fire novel Chapter 861

Aria arrived at the hospital. She paid the cab driver and didn't bother to wait for the change. She rushed to the nurse station and asked where her mother was. The nurse told her the operating room number and Aria rushed towards there.

Her mind was blank but her emotions were full. She arrived at the operating room door and wanted to see her mother. She was about to go inside the operating room but a nurse stopped her.

The nurse said, "Miss, you can't just go in there. Please wait in the waiting area."

Aria followed the nurse's instruction and stopped. But she started asking questions. "Can you at least tell me what happened to my mother? How is she now? Why did this happen?" She had millions of questions that she wanted to be answered. She didn't know why this happened. She left her mother well and sound this morning but all of a sudden she was in a brink of death. She felt guilty for leaving her. She totally forgot about the interview and her job offer. Aria didn't know she was crying. She didn't feel her tears running down on her cheeks.

The nurse couldn't answer her questions and tried to calm her down. "I don't know yet, Miss. Kindly wait for the doctors to finish what they are doing first and then we'll know."

Aria remembered Greg, Lawrence friend, to whom her mother was entrusted to. She asked the nurse, "Where is Dr. Greg? Is he here?"

She wanted to see Lawrence but he wasn't around. The only familiar face she had in this place aside from her mother was Greg. Aria believed that Greg knew what happened and could at least tell her.

That nurse confirmed that Greg was also in the emergency room and the best doctors were seeing her mother.

After hearing this, Aria started to calm down. Having Greg in the operating room with her mother made Aria less worried. She knew that Greg would do anything to save her mother. She trusted Greg because Lawrence trusted him.

Seeing that Aria calmed down, the nurse said, "Please wait here and don't try to break in inside. I must attend to other things now."

Aria nodded and the nurse left. Aria sat by the operating room waiting area. She counted down the minutes that had passed. She watched as some other patients were rushed inside the emergency room. People were crying over their dead relatives. Some children and adults were given injections. These made Aria worried. But she must remain strong. Her mother needed her.
