Chapter 46: Chapter 46
Rebecca Allen’s eyes were red-rimd as she asked, “My brother, he…”
“He said he would be here in half an hour, don’t worry.”
Rebecca only felt a sour taste filling her chest.
She t and fell in love with her husband in college; after graduation, her parents and brother disagreed with their marriage, but ultimately, under her husband’s passionate vows, she disregarded her parents’ objections and followed him to Oceanion.
Over the past two years, her brother and parents had called her countless tis, urging her to co ho.
She said she wanted to show them how happy she could be in Oceanion.
...
Her parents fell silent, but her brother had only one condition: she should not reveal her family background to her husband, to test their relationship for two years.
She was the pearl in the palm of the Allen Family, coddled and pampered by her parents, never having lifted a finger at ho.
After moving to Oceanion, under the guidance of her mother-in-law, she strove to be a good wife and mother.
Every ti she called her mother, declaring that she had learned to cook, clean, and scrub the floors spotless, her mother would cry out, saying that she wasn’t raised in luxury to do such things.
But she didn’t care.
As long as she could get through two years, she could bring her husband back ho for a family reunion.
Yet she never expected that she could nearly die here!
All over a re half a million…
At this mont, she finally understood what her parents ant.
It was she, their daughter, who felt unworthy!
Rebecca tried to look at Keira Olsen again.
She wanted to rember this face, the face of her benefactor!!
Just then, she heard her husband’s voice, “Do you think by helping her, her brother will bring you benefits? Dream on, her family has no money either. Even if he does co, knowing the cost, he will probably give up! As for you, they would still find you a ddleso nuisance!”
Rebecca felt a darkness before her eyes from anger as she desperately pleaded, “My brother won’t ignore … Honey, my family has money… For the sake of all our years together, please hand over to my brother, I don’t need the house anymore, it’s yours…”
“What do you an ‘your house’?” Her husband said with a cruel tone, “That’s our marital property, we bought it after getting married! Besides, you were so eager to elope with right after college graduation, probably because your own family didn’t love you, leaving you love-starved, right? In these two years, I’ve never once seen you in touch with your family. How could your brother possibly care about you?”
Eager to elope?
Rebecca felt a surge of rage strike her heart, unable to catch her breath, she fainted!
Seeing her as if she had stopped breathing, Keira Olsen stepped forward, “She needs to be resuscitated!”
“She doesn’t need any resuscitation!” her husband abruptly stepped back, shouting, “My wife once said she didn’t want to die in an ugly way. If she ever got seriously ill, she would choose to die naturally, without any life-saving asures! Don’t interfere with our family affairs!”
Hearing this, Keira clenched her fists tight.
This man was truly vicious!
Then the mother-in-law rushed forward, standing between Keira and the man, “What are you doing? Everyone, co quickly and judge this matter. My daughter-in-law is on her last breath, and her only wish is to die at ho, but this person won’t let us leave!”
Her voice was loud, and her shouting imdiately attracted the surrounding patients and nurses.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law cried even harder, “Oh my daughter-in-law, why is your life so hard! If it wasn’t for this ddler dragging things out, wasting ti, you wouldn’t have breathed your last here in the hospital!”
Keira Olsen frowned, knowing that arguing with them now was just wasting ti.
She rushed to her husband and reached out to grab Rebecca Allen who was no longer breathing!
The husband wanted to step back, but Keira Olsen swiftly dislocated his arm.
Rebecca Allen slipped from his embrace, was caught by Keira Olsen, laid flat on the ground, and she imdiately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation!
The head nurse, hearing the commotion, rushed over: “What’s going on here?”
The grandmother began to cry out, her voice deafening: “Head nurse, please help us! My son and daughter-in-law gave up on resuscitation, and this stranger insists on stopping us…”
With a dislocated arm and drenched in cold sweat from pain, the husband also urgently shouted, “The guardian of my wife is . Before she died, she said that being sick was too painful, she did not want to be resuscitated, and she wanted to die with dignity. But look at what this woman is doing? Doesn’t my wife even have the right to refuse treatnt?”
The head nurse furrowed her brows and walked over to Keira Olsen: “Madam, you…”
While performing CPR, Keira Olsen said, “This woman does not want to die. I’ve called her brother, and he will be here soon.”
The head nurse, also anxious to save a life, imdiately said, “Her brother is also her relative and counts as a guardian. If her brother does not give up on resuscitation, then resuscitation can continue!”
This statent made the husband and the grandmother pause.
Isla Olsen watched from the side and slowly spoke, “Kiera, don’t force others against their will here. Even if she is saved, the surgery alone will cost 500,000, and who knows how much money will be required for rehabilitation afterwards. The family of the deceased and the husband have already given up. Why did you have to call her brother? Even if he cos, what then? Every family has their struggles; you can’t morally kidnap others here…”
The husband suddenly understood sothing and imdiately began to wail, “We don’t have money, and the brother-in-law’s family hasn’t either! Just the surgery is 500,000, and each month’s treatnt costs add up to 60,000… My wife didn’t want to burden us or her family… I am so useless, I can only watch my wife die! Wuu wuu wuu!”
The crying of a grown man was even more moving.
Every year in the hospital, countless patients choose to give up treatnt. They have the right to choose death, and the people around imdiately began to accuse:
“This young girl is clearly a recent graduate, not yet hardened by society, oblivious to life’s hardships…”
“Too naive, her fervor is just delaying the funeral…”
“…Isn’t this considered desecration of a corpse?”
The grandmother continued to shout: “Everyone, co and help pull her off… Security! Co quick, there’s soone violating a corpse here!”
When security ca and was about to pull Keira Olsen away, she suddenly turned her head, her fierce gaze sweeping over everyone present: “You are plotting for money and causing death!!”
The security guard hesitated.
But the grandmother took the chance to rush over, grabbed a handful of Keira Olsen’s hair, and started dragging her to the side: “Let go of my daughter-in-law, don’t touch her body!”
She absolutely could not let Rebecca Allen be revived!
Keira Olsen’s scalp was torn fiercely, but the CPR was at a critical mont. She dared not let go, regardless of everything else she continued to resuscitate Rebecca Allen.
She was pinched several tis by the grandmother but paid no attention to these…
Isla Olsen snorted.
Keira Olsen was truly foolish; a well-intentioned act gone awry. These two, mother and son, were clearly not to be trifilled with. She had embroiled herself in big trouble!
At this mont, several luxury cars swiftly drove into the hospital grounds below.
Before the cars had even stopped, a tall man jumped out.
Frankie Allen’s expression was fierce as he, accompanied by seven or eight black-suited bodyguards, quickly rushed up the stairs!
