SWNOVELS Chapter 909
Chapter 909 The Surgery
Unfortunately this time, Nathaniel was unable to respond to her.
Cecilia tightened her grip on his hand even more.
Mason looked at Cecilia, who was covered in blood, and couldn’t help but worry. “Mrs. Rainsworth, are you hurt anywhere? Should we call a doctor?”
Cecilia gently shook her head. “I’m okay. He’s the only one who got hurt.”
At that point, Mason chose not to say anything further.
After much effort, the doctor was finally able to stop Nathaniel’s bleeding.
He then said, “We must go to the hospital to stitch up the wound. His artery has been damaged, and my attempt to stop the bleeding is only temporary.”
“All right, understood.” Mason nodded.
Nathaniel’s right side of his head bore a long knife wound, almost extending to his face.
Mason felt a pang of regret. He and Sven should have been more cautious earlier so that Nathaniel wouldn’t have to suffer.
Regrettably, there were no what–ifs.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital. Zachary personally performed the surgery while Jessica was taken to a separate operating room.
Cecilia sat outside on the porch, staring at the fresh blood on her hands. Her hands began to tremble involuntarily.
Sven walked over, unsure of how to comfort her. In the end, he just stood there by her side.
The surgery went on for an indeterminate amount of time. Even though they were brought in during the day, by the time the operating room lights were switched off, it was already dark outside.
Upon returning home, Elliot found no sign of Cecilia and Nathaniel. Consequently, he made a call.
Cecilia forced herself to lie, claiming that she and Nathaniel were tied up with some matters outside and would not be returning home for the night.
After soothing her son, Nathaniel was finally pushed out from the operating room.
Cecilia immediately stood up.
Zachary removed his mask, his expression somber as he walked toward Cecilia.
“How did it go?” Cecilia asked anxiously.
“His life should no longer be in danger. He will likely wake up tomorrow,” Zachary responded.
Only then did Cecilia’s tense heart begin to relax. “Thank you.”
“It’s nothing, I’m just doing what I should. Would you like to go inside and see him?”
“All right.”
Cecilia headed toward the ward.
As Zachary watched her retreating figure, he felt a pang of hesitation. During the surgery he performed today, he had stumbled upon a significant matter.
He was unsure if he could share that with Cecilia.
He thought about waiting until Nathaniel woke up, then conducting a thorough examination before making a decision.
When Cecilia entered the ward, her gaze fell upon Nathaniel, who was lying motionlessly on the hospital bed. His body was covered with medical devices.
At that moment, Mason entered the room, saying, “Mrs. Rainsworth, I’ve brought a new dress. Would you like to change into it?”
Cecilia’s clothes were still stained with blood. There was also traces of blood on her face.
Shaking her head, Cecilia declared, “No, I don’t feel like going anywhere right now.”
She simply wished to stay by Nathaniel’s side.
“All right.”
Mason glanced at the time, realizing it was getting late. He instructed his subordinates to stand guard outside, then turned to Cecilia and said, “I’ll left the clothes here for you. Feel free to change into them whenever you want. I’ll be staying next door, so if anything comes up, just let the guards outside know.”
“All right.”
After agreeing, Cecilia turned to Mason and said, “Could you please let Sven go back to rest as well? He still has to take Eli to school tomorrow.”
“All right.”
Mason stepped out and informed Sven.
Mason used to really dislike Sven, but their rescue mission wouldn’t be possible without his collaboration this time.
The door to the ward was gently closed by Mason from the outside.
Cecilia was lying next to Nathaniel on the bed, her free hand tightly gripping his.
She didn’t sleep at all that night. It was only in the early hours of the next morning that she finally succumbed to a light slumber due to exhaustion.
