The nurse was taken aback by the intensity in Jarrod's eyes.
Upon regaining her composure, the nurse responded with a hint of
dissatisfaction, “Sir, this is a hospital. We don't joke about these matters. The
patient has advanced gastric cancer and is currently suffering from severe
bleeding. If you're not eligible to sign the necessary documents, please contact
the patient's family immediately!”
Jarrod’s mind was suddenly ablaze with shock and disbelief. He gripped the
nurse's wrist tightly with a nearly crushing force and, with quivering lips, he
demanded, “What did you just say? Say that again!”
The nurse frowned and repeated, “The patient has advanced gastric cancer.
Didn't you know that?” As she spoke, she tried to free her wrist from his firm and
painful grip.
Clank! Jarrod's black-gold walking stick, adorned with a dragon head, clattered to
the floor. Jarrod staggered backward, and his tall frame leaned against the wall
for support, preventing himself from collapsing.
His mind reeled as if struck by bullets, and the pain rapidly seared through him.
Moreover, his body felt like it was on the brink of explosion.
Advanced gastric cancer? No, it couldn't be true! He must've misheard.
Nicole was devious. How could she be ill and, worse, in critical condition?
The idea of Nicole being sick was absurd to him. Didn't those evil people have
long lives? In his mind, someone as vicious and scheming as Nicole should
outlive even a turtle. How could she be seriously ill?
Yet, Jarrod’s thoughts were interrupted by the nurse’s anxious voice.
She urged, “Sir, the patient is in an extremely critical condition and could go into
shock at any moment. Every minute we delay increases the danger. Are you her
family or not?”
Inside Jarrod's head, a voice repeatedly said that this couldn't be possible. But
his eyes couldn't deny the words on the surgery waiver form. Deteriorating
condition. Life-threatening condition. Critically ill notice.
It felt like an eternity passed before Jarrod managed to find his voice again. And
when he spoke, his words came out as if he were in a dream.
“She... I'll sign for her!”
“Are you her relative?” the nurse asked, adhering to hospital protocol.
“Only spouses or immediate family members can sign according to the
regulations.”
“I...” Jarrod moved his lips, struggling to form the words.
“Her parents are in a coma. I can be responsible for her.”
Without a family member's signature, the hospital procedures would become
exceedingly complex. But the hospital would never deny someone's treatment.
During Nicole's operation, Jarrod anxiously waited outside.
