In the ambulance, the doctors were giving first aid treatments to Adrian. Miss Ren anxiously looked at the poor little boy who was lying lifelessly on the stretcher. He must have passed out from losing too much blood.
The teacher, Miss Ren was rather flustered. She kept on swallowing nervously while fidgeting on her seat. What had just happened was flashing before her eyes.
That afternoon, Adrian's class was having their PE class. Miss Ren brought the children to the football field. When Adrian was running, he fell down. His knees scratched the grass, and blood kept oozing out from the wound. Fortunately, his delicate face wasn't injured.
"I'm in the JR Hospital right now. Is Adrian alright?" Mandy's face immediately turned pale. Her whole body trembled, and her legs were shaking.
"Adrian… He's currently unconscious," Miss Ren said in a trembling voice, looking pale as well.
As soon as the accident happened, Miss Ren called the ambulance. The headmaster of the kindergarten knew who Adrian's parents were, so he asked the teacher to call Mandy. Compared to Nathan, Mandy was easier to talk with. So, no one dared to call him.
"I see. I'll wait for you in the emergency room." After ending the call, Mandy rushed out of the Cardiology Department.
In a second, both Cassie and Angelina ran out of the room as well. At that moment, the off-duty bell rang. Before they got a chance to change their clothes, they followed Mandy to the emergency room.
After about five minutes, the ambulance arrived.
As they were always prepared, doctors in the emergency room were ready to receive the patient. Among them were the best surgeons in the hospital. They were supposed to be off duty, but as soon as they heard that Mandy's child was injured, they voluntarily stayed.
As soon as the doors of the ambulance were opened, a few doctors lifted the stretchers out of the vehicle. Mandy ran up to them. She immediately felt her heart sink when she saw how pale and lifeless Adrian looked.
Adrian's knees were wrapped in gauze, and there was a slight bruise in his shin. Fortunately, there were no other injuries. But why did he pass out?
"Adrian. Adrian. Please don't scare me." Mandy was filled with sorrow as she followed Adrian, who was being moved across the room. Her nose was so red while tears involuntarily started to flow from her eyes.
The surgeons were already waiting in the operating room. Mandy wanted to go inside as well, but since she wasn't a doctor in the JR Hospital anymore, she was not allowed to enter. While outside the room, she was extremely anxious. She didn't know what else she could do.
Angelina suddenly took her hand tightly and said, "Mand, just wait here. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to Adrian. I'll go in, so please trust me, okay?"
Mandy nodded her head. She looked at her with a blank expression on her face. At the very least, she could trust Angelina. She then held her friend's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
In response, Angelina patted her on the shoulder and comforted her with her eyes, as if she was transferring some strength into her.
"Mand, don't worry. He'll be fine. He just got injured. He'll wake up soon. Don't think too much about it and calm down." Meanwhile, Cassie bit her lower lip since she didn't know how to comfort Mandy. She felt like her heart was burning.
"Yes, you're right. He's going to be fine," Mandy muttered. She briefly looked at Cassie, but saw that the woman looked anxious as well.
Mandy's mind was in a total mess. During that time, she couldn't even think properly. Her heart was being consumed by worry for her beloved boy.
