To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Don’t Blame Me For Being Harsh

“What’s wrong?” A strong sense of unease washed over Jenny. Her heartbeat quickened.

“Something’s happened to that boy from this afternoon.” Morgan was anxious. “After you left, his mother insisted on switching hospitals. We had no choice but to agree. We thought it was just a mild concussion, so it wouldn’t matter if they went to another hospital. But then the emergency center received a call saying that there was a patient in a private hospital with massive head bleeding. We asked about the patient and learned that it was the boy. His mother brought him to a private hospital for surgery!”

Jenny’s expression shifted. She asked hurriedly, “Where is he?”

“He’s still on the way here. The paramedics in the ambulance say it’s really serious and that we must be prepared. I’m here to get you,” Morgan said.

Jenny had no time to figure out what their underlying intention was. “Get the Blood Transfusion Unit to prepare blood bags and tell everyone to get ready,” she ordered Morgan. “The moment he gets here, wheel him into the operating room.”

Although she hadn’t seen him yet, Jenny knew the situation was dire.

Insisting on getting surgery when he didn’t need one was no different than murder.

She didn’t know why that mother wanted to do this or how she managed to convince the doctors in that hospital that her son needed surgery. But if there was a lot of blood, it meant they had ruptured a major blood vessel. His life could be in danger.

Jenny was about to go to the emergency ward to wait for him, but Max called her. “Dr. Walter, you…” “Sorry, Mr. Pearson. I’m afraid I don’t have the time to eat with you today. We’ll do it next time. It’ll be my treat.” She had no choice. She couldn’t leave at this time.

Max didn’t say much else. He nodded. “It’s okay. Do your thing. We have plenty of time.”
