Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Maverick Williams in Critical Condition
Hope Williams took a deep breath, spotted a staff mber coming out to disperse the crowd, and asked, “What happened?”
“An elderly man suddenly fainted.”
Hope’s heart skipped a beat, furrowed her brow, exchanged a glance with Waylon Lewis, and beca sowhat anxious. She handed over Luke and Willow to Waylon. “I’ll go take a look.”
As Hope hurried over, she saw Jade Bell kneeling on the ground, crying for help next to the unconscious Maverick Williams. Hope’s breath caught, and she imdiately squatted down to check Maverick’s condition.
Seeing Hope, Jade’s panicked expression cald down a bit. She sniffled, “Little Hope, your grandpa… suddenly fainted…”
Hope furrowed her brow, spoke a few comforting words to Jade, and perford a basic check-up on Maverick. Her face grew increasingly grave.
Jade anxiously called Maverick’s na over and over, but he didn’t respond at all. Seeing Hope’s serious expression, Jade beca even more flustered. “Little Hope, how is your grandpa?”
“Don’t worry for now. Does he have high blood pressure?”
Jade nodded repeatedly. “Yes.”
Without hesitation, Hope imdiately opened her own bag. Due to her regular habits, she always kept a silver needle pouch in her bag.
Unrolling the pouch, Hope calmly took out a silver needle, quickly sanitized it, located the acupuncture point, and inserted it into Maverick’s point…
Soone had called an ambulance, which quickly arrived and took Maverick to the hospital.
After the doctors’ examination and ergency treatnt, it was confird that the fainting was due to acute cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure, compounded by Maverick’s already poor health.
Jade almost fainted upon hearing this and tightly grasped the doctor’s hand, pleading for him to save Maverick.
The doctor quickly reassured Jade. “Madam, don’t worry. Before he was brought to the hospital, he must have received so initial treatnt that controlled his condition, so it’s not the worst scenario right now.”
Jade imdiately pulled Hope to the forefront. “Yes, my granddaughter is also in dicine. She was there and perford ergency treatnt.”
The doctor glanced at Hope, recognizing her from the hospital where she used to work. “Director Williams, it’s you.”
Hope nodded slightly.
The doctor curiously asked, “Aren’t you a cardiac surgeon? How do you have expertise in neurology too?”
“I previously studied traditional Chinese dicine with my ntor and have continued learning from my senior ntor recently, which ca in handy.”
Maverick was fortunate; it wasn’t a very severe cerebral hemorrhage. If it had been, there would have been nothing she could do.
The doctor nodded, looking at Hope with increasing admiration, then turned to Jade. “Madam, rest assured. Thanks to Director Williams being there, your husband was saved and is currently not in life-threatening danger. Specialists from neurology are already consulting on his case and will soon present a treatnt plan.”
Jade nodded repeatedly. “Thank you, thank you, for all your hard work.”
After the doctor left, Jade pursed her lips, her nose tingling, her eyes brimming with tears. Her knees weakened, and she almost knelt before Hope.
Hope quickly supported her, shocked. “What are you doing?”
Jade didn’t know how to describe her feelings at this mont—gratitude, guilt, regret…
Hope not only ca to see Maverick today but at the critical mont, she put past grievances aside to save him.
But Maverick had previously endangered her child’s life!
Jade genuinely didn’t know what to say at that mont.
They had plotted against her in every possible way, yet in the end, she was the one who repeatedly saved them. They could never repay what they owed Hope in this lifeti.
Having Hope as a granddaughter was their greatest fortune.
Jade embraced Hope, crying bitterly, mumbling endless thank-yous.
Hope soothingly patted Jade’s back. “Alright, Grandma, you don’t have to say this. It’s what I should do. I can’t just watch him die in front of . Don’t cry anymore; he’ll be fine.”
Jade nodded repeatedly.
Maverick’s surgery soon began, and Hope sat with Jade outside, waiting.
Waylon Lewis initially kept the three kids in the car outside to wait, but seeing that Hope didn’t co out for a long ti, he brought the kids inside.
“Mommy.”
Luke and Willow reached out their little arms towards Hope.
Hope extended her hand to embrace them, rubbing their small heads. “What’s the matter? Didn’t I tell Daddy to take you ho? Why are you back?”
Willow’s soft, rosy face peeked out from Hope’s embrace. Her big eyes were filled with concern. “Mommy, what’s wrong with Grandpa? Is he sick?”
Hope tugged at her lips. “Yes, he’s sick.”
“Then is Mommy worried now? Grandpa will get better, right?”
Hope paused.
Worried?
Jade also looked at Hope, seemingly wanting to hear her answer.
Hope pursed her lips, thinking that perhaps she still couldn’t cut off that little bit of blood relationship. If Maverick were to die in front of her, she truly couldn’t remain indifferent.
Hope nodded at Willow. “Yes, he will get better.”
“Mm, Willow also hopes Grandpa will get better soon, so Mommy and Great-Grandmother won’t be sad. I don’t want to see Mommy and Great-Grandmother sad…”
