Listen man, you better pray for Leena now. If she doesn't come out of this fit, I won't spare you, no matter who you are!" People said that Edward was a heartless man, but in actuality, he was extremely loyal and affectionate to the people he cared about.
"Edward! Stop behaving like a spoiled brat!" Daisy's cold voice came from behind them. They didn't know when she had arrived. Maybe it had been when they were quarreling, so nobody noticed her.
"Ha! Senior Colonel Ouyang. Did your heart break when you saw him being threatened?" Edward had been going crazy worrying about Leena and began to scold anyone who dared to defend Kevin, including his beloved wife. Leena had been in the operating room for more than an hour. He had no idea what was going on in there.
"Edward Mu, you bastard! If you continue to act like this, I will cuff you up to calm you down. You're the CEO of a transnational corporation! Why are you being so ridiculous in such a vital moment?" Daisy cast a stern glance at her husband. She had just got off work and was about to go home, but was informed of the bad news. When she arrived, she saw the three fighting with each other like brats. She couldn't believe her eyes. 'Are they really looking after Leena in this ridiculous manner?' she wondered.
"I told them not to fight but they just didn't listen to me. I wonder what's going on in there. I'm so worried about Leena," Belinda said, still pacing up and down. Why was Tom still in there?
"Belinda, don't worry. Come and sit down. Take some rest. You should take care of yourself. After all, you're..." Daisy reached out and helped Belinda sit on a nearby bench. Belinda was pregnant and Daisy didn't want her to lose the baby because of Leena's emergency. Belinda hadn't been to the hospital yet to check out her situation, but she had bought early pregnancy kits which told her that she was pregnant.
"Shh! I'm okay. Don't tell them the news yet!" Belinda whispered in a hurry, interrupting Daisy. She didn't want the others to know about her condition yet, for she wanted to double check it at the hospital first. Moreover, this was not the right time to announce the news.
Edward gnashed his teeth together and stared coldly at Daisy, but the latter just ignored him. Blue veins popped out on his temples. 'Fine! You must be spoiled by me. How dare you ignore me? You even scold me in public!' he thought.
Kevin walked toward the operating room door, zipping back and forth. He had already been exhausted after not having taken a break for the entire day and night. His expression grew dark when he thought about Leena's condition. He was in no mood to find out how she fell into the water or what Edward would do to him. All he wanted was his wife to be safe and sound.
The clock ticked away. None of them tried to speak. Their eyes were fixed on the lit up red letters above the door, that said 'In Operation'.
After a long time, the light went out and Tom marched outside. His face looked tired and his eyes red. His eyes scanned the hall as he heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Doctor Qin, how's Leena? Is she out of immediate danger?" Kevin was at the forefront of the crowd. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice trembled. The moment he saw Tom come out, he rushed over to him.
Tom, I trust you. She's gonna be okay, right?" Edward clenched his fists with anxiety. Like Kevin, he was afraid bad news would come out from Tom's mouth.
"She's out of immediate danger, but her situation is overwhelmingly negative. You know that Leena has had poor resistance all these years. She was suffering from a bad cold before drowning. She breathed in a lot of cold water that aggravated her condition. Leena has a serious pulmonary infection. On top of that, she seems to have no will to survive. I don't know when she will wake up. That depends on her willpower." Tom cast a meaningful glance at Kevin when he mentioned that Leena had no will to survive for he believed that Kevin was the reason for it. Kevin must have done something wrong which disappointed Leena.
"What? She has no will to survive? Kevin Gu, what did you do to her? Why does she have no will to survive?" This time, it was Rain who grabbed Kevin by the collars. He knew exactly what kind of sorrow caused people to not want to live. Since Annie left him, he too had no will to live in this world.
"Rain, stop it. Let's listen to Tom first," Daisy said in anger, pulling Rain away from Kevin. These men doted on Leena and cared about her so much. No wonder they lost control upon hearing that Leena had no will to survive. It was fortunate that Duke was not here at the moment, otherwise there would have been a huge fight.
"Leena will be transferred to the ICU soon. She's out of immediate danger but she still needs to be under observation all the time. We don't know whether she will suffer from complications." Tom looked calm and composed but he was under greater pressure than his friends. He was a doctor, and if he couldn't save a person he cared about so much, he would be gravely affected by it. He would refuse to serve as a doctor again.
"Complications? Oh no!" Daisy felt dizzy and staggered backward. Luckily, Edward caught and steadied her. Daisy knew how dangerous complications could be. When Edward had been shot, he too had suffered from complications at that time. It had scared Daisy to death.
Well, don't worry too much. She is under close watch. If complications are spotted, we would give her emergency treatment. But she has been suffering from poor health for years and I have a bad feeling about it." Tom frowned. Leena had been in a very dangerous situation in the operating room. Her heart even stopped for a while. Luckily, Tom had snatched her from the clutches of death. He decided not to tell his friends, otherwise they would go berserk.
"Please tell us what we should do next. We'll do exactly as we're told," Edward said in a calm voice as he held Daisy's waist. Only Daisy knew that Edward was not as calm as he looked. His hand around her waist was shaking.
"Just be silent as much as possible. No matter how angry you are, you must stay calm until Leena wakes up." Tom sighed with profound resignation. 'I hope she will find the meaning of life again, otherwise even if she recovers physically, she might not wake up at all. She has shut her mind from the outside world. I hope someone can convince her to open her heart and mind again, ' he thought to himself.
"Doctor Qin, can I go in to see her?" Kevin pleaded, an expectant expression on his face. He knew why Leena had no will to survive and was seized with remorse. 'If I knew she was so bothered by the hug between me and Michelle, I should have called up and explained everything to her as soon as possible, no matter how busy I was. She wouldn't have ended up like this then.'
"We'll transfer her to the ICU first. Only one person is allowed to go inside. Remember, do not talk too much to her. You can decide who will go in." As a doctor, he could only do as a doctor should do. He wouldn't make the decision by himself, so he asked the others to decide who would go in.
Everyone wanted to be the one to go in, but they knew the only one who was qualified for it was Kevin. He was Leena's legal husband. More importantly, he was the person Leena was most anxious to meet. This was the reason why Leena's sworn brothers disliked Kevin so much.
