Let's Get Married

Chapter 613: To Be a Vegetable Is Her Best Outcome

On hearing Rex's words, Ryan seems to be wakened from a deep thought. Ryan turns to look at Rex who is pressing against him. The rims of Ryan's eyes are red. He is completely different from what he usually looks like.

"To commit suicide?" He wants to force a smile, but he fails. However, his eyes finally become lively. "I never care about my life. But she saves me. Don't worry. I cherish it more than anyone else."

After hearing it, Rex is completely relieved. He gets up and pats his hands to get rid of the dust. When Rex couldn't find Ryan just now, he was told by the nurse at the reception that Ryan had gone to the top floor. Thinking of it, Rex still has some lingering fear.

Although Rex doesn't have a good impression of Ryan, Ryan took Lily in back then. Thus, Adair could come to this world smoothly. Eunice gets involved in this incident because of Adair. Rex feels a little guilty, so he hopes everyone will be fine.

Rex is just a little surprised that Ryan falls in love with Eunice, who looks weak. Ryan and Eunice seem to be from different world. But love is full of uncertainty. If two people are destined to meet each other, how can they avoid it?

After Ryan and Rex calm down, Rex follows behind Ryan, afraid that something will happen to him again. When they return to the entrance of the operating room, the light above their heads happens to be extinguished.

Ryan straightens his body nervously and watches the doctor walk over. "Who is the patient's family?"

Ryan answers without thinking, "I am."

"What's your relationship with the patient?"

Ryan is at a loss how to reply. After a moment of pause, he says, "I'm her boyfriend."

The doctor tilts his head and looks at Ryan. "You can't do it. It has to be the patient's immediate family. Anyway, come with me. I'll tell you the general situation first."

"I want to take a look at her first."

"Wait a moment. She hasn't come round from the anesthetic." After the doctor finishes speaking, he walks straight to the office. Ryan's gaze focuses deeply on the door of the ward and then follows the doctor.

After entering the office, Ryan feels everything quiets down. The attending doctor is a very powerful expert in the hospital. As soon as Ryan sits down, the doctor shows him a series of test results.

"The patient's current situation is not very optimistic. I'm sorry for your loss. But I hope that you can be rational and listen to me." The doctor wants Ryan to be well prepared. Ryan has a domineering aura, and his gloomy face looks so terrifying.

The doctor is nearly fifty years old. This is the first time he has been frightened by the aura of a young man.

Ryan nods. "Speak."

"The patient has multiple fractures and skin traumas. The third left rib is broken, which affects her lungs. It can cause inflammation later on. Meanwhile, the TFCC of her right wrist is damaged. Whether the operation is needed or not depends on her recovery at the later stage. What's worse, when she fell down from the cliff, the back of her head suffered a violent impact. Besides the concussion, her back skull is cracked, resulting in brain edema and severe damage to cerebral cortex function. The patient is now in a deep coma, and she may lose her consciousness. If such a condition occurs, she will become a vegetable as we what we commonly call, when the subcortical center can maintain her autonomic breathing and heartbeat."

The doctor tells him all the results in simple way. To the patient and her family, they have to know it. Eunice drops from such a high cliff, even if she doesn't die, she will be severely injured. Eunice's fatal injury is in the back of the head. Considering her heavy weight, she is lucky to survive.

Such a piece of news is a bolt from the blue to Ryan. When he sees that she is pushed out from the operating room, he still has a glimmer of hope. At least she is fine, isn't she?

But what does the doctor say?

Eunice will be a vegetable.

Eunice's ribs are broken, and her wrist has permanent wounds. Ryan doesn't dare to imagine how she withstands these injuries.

Ryan opens his mouth. He wants to say something, but his throat doesn't seem to belong to him anymore. No matter how hard he tries, he can't make a sound.

Ryan gradually blushes, as if his neck had been grabbed by someone. In the end, even his eyes turn red.

The doctor notices that something is wrong with Ryan. Thus, he instinctively extends his hand to help Ryan gently. However, Ryan is almost pushed to the ground.

The old doctor hurriedly stands up and supports Ryan. Only then does the doctor realize that Ryan, with bloodshot eyes, has fainted.

Ryan suffers a terrible shock, which is more than he can bear.

The doctor hurriedly shouts to the nurse outside the door. "Come in. Someone faints...."

...

When Lily arrives at the hospital, it is already evening. Actually, she wanted to follow Rex to the hospital long ago. However, Rex does not agree. After Adair goes home for dinner, Rex finally allows the driver to send her over.

Lily plans to remove her scars after returning home. Because of this sudden incident, it is delayed. Nothing is more important than human lives. Eunice has such an accident because of Adair. As Adair's mother, regardless of whether Lily remembers the past or not, she is grateful to Eunice heartily.

After taking the elevator to the floor of the inpatient department, Lily sees Rex as soon as she gets out of the elevator. After a brief pause, she walks out, "Why are you waiting outside?"

"I'm here to pick you up." Rex's voice sounds depressed and he doesn't look happy.

Lily hands him the chicken soup in her hand. "Fanny cooked it. You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

In no mood for worrying about being embarrassed, Lily is concerned about Rex.

Rex glances at her delicate hands. After suffering a few days of tension, he finally relaxes. He puts strong and powerful arms around Lily and rests his sexy jaw on her shoulder.

Lily is shocked. After she regains her senses, she blushes and struggles. "We're not at home...."

In the corridor of the hospital, people come and go. Lily is beautiful, so her action is more like to attract others' attention. Lily is too bashful to withstand it.

Fortunately, Rex doesn't do anything further. It's rare for Rex to be depressed. He buries his head in her neck and takes a deep breath before letting go of her. "Let's go."

Rex grabs Lily's hand. Lily looks at Rex and gently pulls him with worries. She stands still and asks, "What's wrong with you?"

Rex ponders for a moment and then tells her the truth. "Eunice may turn into a vegetable because her head has been hit badly."

"What?" Lily knows that Eunice fell off the cliff, so she is prepared. But when she is told, she is still shocked. "How can this be...?" Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"The injuries are serious. To be a vegetable is her best outcome." Rex does not say further, but Lily understands.

In the worst-case scenario, Eunice will die.
