Cyrus was shocked. As he asked the doctor to help him take Avery to the bed in the ward, Cyrus asked the nurse in a low voice, “How much blood did you draw in one go?”

The intern nurse sensed something wrong and rushed over in a panic. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“I drew… I drew 1.05 pints. There’s no Rh-negative blood in the hospital. This gentleman said that he was healthy, and the emergency room needed blood, so I drew

more.”

Generally speaking, with Avery’s condition, he would be clearly unwell when he was

drawn about 0.7 pints of blood.

But Avery insisted that he did not feel any discomfort.

The director on duty, David Cohen, scolded her in a low voice, “Pack up your stuff and quit. You are a nurse. Don’t you know a bit of common sense?

“A normal person can only be drawn 0.35 pints to 0.7 pints of blood at most. Do you think it is as easy as carrying water? Why don’t you roll up your sleeves and donate 1.05 pints?”

The nurse was so scared and did not dare to speak. She lowered her head and trembled,

afraid that Avery couldn’t wake up once he fell unconscious.

David wanted to continue to scold the nurse when Avery said, “Enough. I signed up and asked her to do it. Mr. Cohen, don’t cause trouble for no reason. If you fire her, I will fire

you.”

When David saw that Avery had woken up, he heaved a sigh of relief. If anything were to happen to Avery, the Gallard family and Andrew wouldn’t let go of David.

He immediately walked to the bed with a flattering smile. “Mr. Gallard, you’re awake. You must be joking. I was just scaring the nurse. I won’t fire her.”

Avery didn’t say much to him. He directly lifted the quilt and got up from the bed.

Cyrus was anxious and tried to stop him. “Mr. Gallard, you’d better rest longer. There’s someone in the emergency room. You’ve been drawn too much blood, so you might have greatly hurt.”

Avery directly walked out of the ward. “How could I get hurt just because of that? I’ll

wait there. When she is out and doesn’t see me, she won’t be used to it.”

Cyrus followed him out and thought, if Ms. Garcia doesn’t see you and thus isn’t used to it, that’s because she might be too happy.

Avery had not eaten for the whole day. This morning, because of the matter with Andrew and Vivian, Avery quarreled with Darlene. He locked Darlene in the bedroom. He was also angry and did not have any appetite.

Otherwise, he might not have really fainted after he was drawn blood.

Avery sat outside the emergency room and waited for Darlene. When he saw the light still lit up outside the emergency room, Avery couldn’t help clenching his fists.

Darlene had vomited so much blood and was lying in the emergency room alone. Avery wondered if she felt cold.

Avery did not feel good. He could not tell how many times he had seen Darlene vomit blood.

He hated seeing blood on her body. That scarlet color would make him think of death for no reason.

The several test results clearly showed him that Darlene just had an ordinary heart disease and that she would not die.

But Avery was not very sure about many things. Avery was only very certain that he

could not accept it if Darlene died.

Probably because it was too quiet outside the emergency room, Avery started to be

paranoid when he was waiting.

Cyrus stood beside him. Avery said, “Would she really vomit so much blood just because of heart disease?”

Cyrus replied, “Mr. Gallard, I’m not very sure about it, but the heart is the most

important organ. Heart attack is more serious than any other disease. If one doesn’t

take medicine to treat it in time, the patient might vomit blood.”

Avery thought about it and could not remember whether Darlene had vomited blood in the past.

After a while, Avery seemed to comfort himself and said, “She might have vomited

blood. She just has heart disease. She’ll be fine if she takes the medicine in time.”

Avery sat outside for a long time. The light outside the emergency room didn’t go out until late at night.

Avery was a little nervous, his palms were sweaty. When he saw that the light was off, he immediately got up and waited for the doctor to push Darlene out.

However, he felt a little guilty seeing her. So, Avery tilted his head and looked at the wall. He just glanced at the door of the emergency room out of the corner of his eye.

The heavy door opened, and the bed was pushed out.

Avery walked over and did not dare to look at Darlene on the bed. He reached out and

pushed the bed to the other side of the corridor. He said awkwardly, “You’re awake.”

The doctor who came out of the emergency room looked at Avery strangely. “Mr. Gallard, Mrs. Gallard hasn’t woken up yet.”

Avery looked over. He saw Darlene close her eyes and seem to be sleeping soundly.

He felt embarrassed for a moment and then asked the doctor with displeasure, “Why did you push her out since she wasn’t awake?”

The doctor explained, “Mrs. Gallard has woken up once in the emergency room and is

now out of danger.

“Because of the anesthetic and that she’s too weak and tired, she may wake up tonight,

or tomorrow, or even later.”

Avery looked over. Under the strong light in the corridor, Darlene’s face was so pale.

He leaned closer to her and blocked her from the strong light. Avery asked, “If she

doesn’t wake up, can she just sleep like this?”

The doctor answered, “You can stay with Mrs. Gallard in the intensive care unit tonight. Just observe her condition and touch her more. Also, talk to her more. If she doesn’t

wake up before noon tomorrow, we’ll think of another way.”

Avery, who had just been relieved, was nervous again. He replied unhappily, “Got it.”

The doctor added, “Mrs. Gallard’s body temperature is a little low. Please be careful. Please warm her up. Although the patient is unconscious, she will still be uncomfortable

because of the coldness.”

When pushing the bed, Avery held Darlene’s hand. He responded with a “yes” and

pushed Darlene into the ICU.

Cyrus followed to the door and carefully asked, “Mr. Gallard, how about I call a servant

to take care of Mrs. Gallard? You’d better rest since you are tired.”

Avery pushed the bed in and closed the door. “No need. I’ll take care of her. Don’t let

anyone in.”

He thought of something and added, “Find a way to check if anyone else entered Southwood Villa during the day.”

“Okay.” Cyrus nodded.

The door was closed, and Avery turned on the lights in the room. It was very quiet at

that moment.

He carried Darlene and planned to put her on the hospital bed.

When he held her in his arms, Avery stood for a while longer and weighed her weight, feeling a little strange. “Why are you so thin?”
