The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534

Dr. Wagner and Zachary were close, and so the former easily agreed to the surgery on short notice.

But things appeared ominous at the moment.

"Well, he’s safe and breathing..."

Debbie panicked right then and dropped her phone, its screen shattering with a loud crack!

Ember glanced at her, but while she felt that Debbie was obviously acting suspicious, Zachary thought that Debbie was just thrilled. "Don’t worry.

James is safe now."

Debbie kept her head down to hide her reaction. "I'm just so happy..."

Dr. Wagner suddenly said, "May I finish?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you say he's saved?" Zachary asked.

"He's breathing, but..." Dr. Wagner was looking Zachary in the eye, but soon sighed. ‘I've done my best."

Zachary sensed something ominous. "What is it?"

’He's in a vegetative state..."

"What?" Zachary exclaimed in fear and disbelief.

It was a terrible outcome-the only difference between a person in a vegetative state and a dead person was their breathing!

"We did what we could," Dr. Wagner added.

Even if doctors were used to this, a loved one would have a hard time accepting such an outcome.

Debbie certainly did not expect the sudden reversal-even if James was alive, how was he different from dead, being the vegetable he was?

Someone up there must be watching out for her!

Ember, who had been watching Debbie, saw the look on her face.

Debbie also happened to look up and saw Ember's gaze, and the latter did not flinch-as if telling her 'I saw that'.

Debbie frowned-Ember had been messing with her for a while now, and it seemed that she must not allow her to stay at large.

"What's with that look?" she exclaimed while looking forlorn. “I don't have time to waste with you now after all that."

With that, she walked up to Dr. Wagner. "When can he leave?"

"We're keeping him in the ICU for 48 hours. If there's no issue after that, we will put him in a normal ward," Dr. Wagner replied.

"Thank you," Zachary said, mustering his spirit just then-he knew Dr.

Wagner's ability, and despite how things turned out, Dr. Wagner must have done all he could.

"No. I'm sorry I can't do anything else for him-"

"I know you did your best," Zachary said-their friendship was enough to justify that understanding.

As they watched James being wheeled to ICU, Zachary sat on a bench along the walkway in silence.

"No one wanted this," Ember said, wrapping her arms around him. "It's alright. Everyone did their best."
