"Fortunately, when the patient was hit by a falling object, he extended his hand to block it. The force that hit his head was relatively light, so there was no concussion or other symptoms. It was just that his hand was broken and he needed to rest for a period of time."
Hearing this, everyone was relieved.
After all, it was fortunate that under such a dangerous condition, Derek just had a fracture of a hand.
"When will he wake up?"
"Now that he's under anesthesia, he won't be able to wake up until early tomorrow morning. You can take turns to take care of him. When he wakes up, you can call the doctor for further examination."
"I see, doctor. Thank you."
Violet thanked the doctor and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. If Derek had been in a coma for a few more years like before, she might not have been able to hold on.
Meredith stood at the door of the operating room, her clenching hands loosening a little. And she realized that her palms were wet with sweat, perhaps because she was too nervous to see the doctor and didn't even notice it.
After a while, he was pushed out.
Meredith looked at him with a thick bandage on his head and a plaster on his hands. She felt terrible.
Even if they had already broken up, she still didn't want him to get hurt.
And just as Meredith was staring at him with worry, Evelyn received this news from Violet.
When Evelyn arrived at the hospital and saw him unconscious on the bed, she immediately lunged at him. "Derek, Derek! Is he okay?"
Meredith frowned at her exaggerated actions.
"What was wrong with her?" Meredith thought.
"Was she worried about him or trying to aggravate his injury? What was with the exaggerated actions? He was not dead yet."
"Don't press his hand."
Meredith knew she shouldn't have said this, but she had nursed her mother for years, she knew very well that Evelyn would cause the wound dehiscence if she continued to do so.
So she reminded Evelyn.
And Meredith also took a glance at Violet.
"It was so strange. Wasn't she usually the one who cares about Derek the most? Evelyn might have pressed his wound now, but she didn't say a word."
"Perhaps this was the benefit of a good family background and power."
Meredith sneered in her heart, but there was no expression on her face.
Hearing her words, Evelyn came back to her sense from the shock and sadness she had just experienced. She had never taken care of a patient so she did not know the consequences of her actions.
"Why are you here, Meredith?"
Evelyn's tone was unkind.
Didn't she say she was going to break up with Derek? But now, when something happened to him, she got to the hospital faster than her!
"I'm just here to check on him. Don't worry. I won't do anything."
Meredith said calmly, "Since I know he's fine, I'll leave now."
After that, she went out to look for the two little guys who had just said they were going to the bathroom.
