The rescue mission was carried out swiftly. All the helicopters flew back to the helipad. The helicopter which carried the team that rescued Janet and Laney was about to land at this time. Its propeller made a loud noise and the wind messed up people's hair.
Ethan was waiting impatiently at the helipad. His eyes were bloodshot. He irritably moved the hair strand on his face backward and looked at a rescuer who had just gotten off the helicopter with a blanket in his arms. He strode forward and saw Janet in the blanket. Her eyes were tightly closed and her face was deathly pale.
"Thank you. Please hand her over," Ethan said gratefully and he collected his wife from the rescuer. The worry that had settled like a boulder in his gut eased up. His expression also softened.
"Take me to Frank's hospital now," he ordered one of his drivers.
Ethan had already alerted Frank that he was coming. As a result, he was already waiting at the gate of the hospital with the medical staff.
They all swung into action immediately after Ethan arrived. Janet and Laney were placed on stretchers and pushed straight into the operation theater.
"You can't go in, Ethan. Please wait outside." Ethan was about to go in with Janet when Frank placed a hand on his chest to stop him. When Frank saw that he was trembling with worry, he added assuredly, "I'll attend to her myself. Don't worry."
Frank then joined the medical team and asked a nurse to take the two women's temperature immediately. Laney's temperature was only slightly lower than normal and her pulse was getting steadier by the second. Perhaps it was because she exercised every single day. On the other hand, Janet's condition was bad.
"Doctor Watson, this patient's temperature has dropped to 33 degrees centigrade, with symptoms of moderate hypothermia." The nurse who had just taken Janet's temperature raised the alarm.
Frank's face instantly darkened. He knew that it was only a matter of time for things to get to the degree of severe hypothermia if her temperature wasn't stabilized immediately. Worse still, she was still in a coma.
"Quick, prepare sodium chloride injection and glucose injection, and supplement the blood volume to guarantee sufficient heat," commanded Frank as he put on blue surgical gloves.
Ethan paced about in the corridor for the whole night. He was almost shedding tears because he didn't know what was going on inside.
He was still waiting there at dawn.
After kissing the back of her hand very hard, he choked and asked worriedly, "Do you feel pain?"
Janet shook her head slightly. Although her face was pale and her smile was faint, her eyes were as bright and beautiful as always. "How did we get rescued?"
Ethan pulled up the quilt to cover her properly. After keeping silent for a few seconds, he finally replied, "You were saved by the government rescuers."
Janet stared at him blankly for a while. All of a sudden, she asked worriedly, "Where is the girl who was with me? How is she doing?" "Well, she was also admitted to this hospital. She's in a much better state than you. Don't worry, okay?" Ethan was utterly appalled by Janet's behavior. Despite her weak state, she still cared about someone else. His heart ached slightly.
Oblivious to the change in her husband's mood and the thoughts in his head, Janet continued, "Okay, that's good to know. I must thank her later. I won't be alive now if it weren't for her. She actually jumped into the river to save me."
"You never cease to amaze me, Janet. You always put others first. Don't you know that your condition is serious?" Ethan scolded seriously. When he saw that Janet had fallen silent and was staring at him expressionlessly, he added, "I'm sorry for speaking in that tone. But I don't want you to think about anything now. You have to take a good rest first and get well."
