Chapter 361
“Got it, Clayton.”
After nodding with conviction, Xavian ran to the telephone poll and made the emergency call.
“Hello? Miss? I’m now at a telephone pole with serial number L-109X. There’s an old man here holding his chest in pain as if he is having a heart attack…”
While Xavian was making the emergency call, Clayton looked around for a public defibrillator.
Previously, he was intrigued to see them and had asked Natalie about their usage.
Given his interest, Natalie not only told him on how to use it but also demonstrated it once for him.
Even though Clayton had only seen it used once, the steps were clearly seared into his mind.
“Mister, the ambulance will be here anytime soon.” Pasting the metal strips of the defibrillator on Kenneth’s chest, Clayton reassured him, “Hang in there. My mom told me before that the will to live is extremely important. I know you’re in terrible pain, but I beg of you. You have to endure it!”
Despite how Clayton was trying his best to stay calm, his heart was already pounding furiously.
After all, he was aware that Kenneth’s life was in danger.
For the sake of saving a life, Clayton had no choice but to steel himself and get it done.
Glancing at the child by his side, Kenneth could see the concern in his eyes.
At that moment, Kenneth put all his hopes of survival on the two children.
Despite being amused by it, Kenneth was invigorated by the children’s motivational words.
Just when Clayton pressed the “shock” button on the defibrillator, it sent a current through Kenneth, causing his body and limbs to shake.
Five minutes later, the ambulance and medical staff arrived.
Sprawling on the ground, the medic checked Kenneth’s condition and found that his heart rate was recovering. When he turned and saw the children with the used defibrillator, he couldn’t help but gape in shock.
“Were you the ones who defibrillated the old man?”
After exchanging glances, Xavian and Clayton nodded in unison.
