When the pale Coralie arrived at the hospital, she still hadn't awoken yet.
Hurriedly, Jonathan carried her out of the ambulance, laid her on a stretcher, and pushed her into the emergency room.
Anxiousness was written all over his face. His white shirt was covered in blood.
He followed behind the emergency doctor and speedily explained what had happened during the accident. “I think she was hit at least twice, doctor. She hit her head on the dashboard and then her shoulder from the side. While she had seatbelts on, I don't know if her spine was affected.”
Nodding, the doctor assured, “We know about the situation, Mr. Queen. You sent her here in the nick of time. We'll initiate the emergency operation right away. No need to worry about her. Also, I see you're wounded as well. Remember to patch your injuries up with another doctor!”
Then, he closed the door to the emergency room.
Jonathan was at a loss about what to do. Then, he turned around as though he sensed something, and saw Madilyn.
Her heart wrenched as she rapidly examined his condition and instructed, “Jonathan, I want you to pay attention to your body. Are you feeling severe pain anywhere?”
During a crisis, the human body would secrete adrenaline. Sometimes, it might completely suppress the pain one was experiencing, making him think he wasn't hurt.
By the time they realized they were injured, they might've missed the golden period for treatment.
Upon hearing that, Jonathan obediently moved his limbs around and touched his body.
Then, he shook his head. “I'm fine, Madilyn. I had my seatbelt on and was aware of the impending crash. So, during the moment of the impact, I was already protecting my head and body. However, Coralie... I couldn't warn her in time. It's all my fault!”
Madilyn immediately detected the guilt in Jonathan's voice and comforted, “You couldn't have reacted in time to the accident. Don't beat yourself over it.”
