Grant walked over and slowly pushed Nicole back to the ward.
Aida waited in Nicole’s ward and smiled as she saw that Nicole was already in a much better mood.
“Do you want to eat something?” Nicole shook her head.
“Alright. I’ll make some soup for you. You need to take good care of your body. Sleep for a while, and I’ ll have the nurse come over to give you a shot.”
Aida went out after saying that.
Nicole took a deep breath. She refused to let Grant carry her and lay down on the bed by herself. She sighed and asked, “Big Brother, how did we get back?”
She thought that at best, she would wake up in a hospital in Southeast Asia.
It was simply unthinkable to end up back home.
Grant was stunned for a moment. He walked over, sat down, and said in a slightly lowered voice, “Our people have been following Eric and Clayton. If either of them found you, I’d be the first to find out.
So, after Clayton rescued you, our people immediately brought you back in secret.”
Nicole paused and sensed the meaning of his words. “In secret?”
Grant nodded. Although he did not want to tell Nicole too much at this time, Nicole was curious about it and asked on her own accord.
Not to mention, she would be more worried.
“Yes, if we make it a big deal, Caleb ‘s people will find out that you’re not dead, then it’ll be more troublesome, and you’ll still be in danger.
Fortunately, no one noticed the place where Clayton jumped with you, so after you both jumped out the window, you were secretly brought back by our people. To some people, you’re already dead.”
Nicole took a while to digest what Grant said and wanted to ask further questions, but Grant reached out and covered her eyes.
“Alright, let’s talk again when you wake up tomorrow. Now just get some rest.”
Nicole pursed her lips and shut up.
“Okay, if there’s anything going on with Clayton, b e sure to tell me first.”
Nicole could not be assured about his condition. Grant nodded. “Okay.”
Director Sven quicHy came over to put in the needle again. He looked much more tired.
Grant watched as Nicole closed her eyes and fell asleep before covering her with the blanket and walking out.
Outside the door.
Director Sven and Aida were talking about something. When they saw Grant coming out, both of them looked a little glum.
Grant struggled to brace himself. His mood was dull. “What’s wrong?”
Aida did not know what to say and looked at Director Sven.
Director Sven sighed. “Several domestic and foreign experts just had a joint consultation. The results are very bad. I’m afraid that Mr. Sloan won’t be able to last a few days…”
Aida said in a soft voice, “Lil N just woke up. If she found out about this, she’d be devastated. I don’t even know how to talk to her about it. How should w e break this to her tomorrow?”
Grant’s face tightened, and his gaze darkened.
“Clayton risked his life for Lil N. He doesn’t have any family members left to contact. Uncle Sven, no matter what, you must try your best to keep Clayton alive. Otherwise, not to mention Lil N, our Stanton family will also feel guilty for life.”
Director Sven was silent for a long time. His voice was extremely low.
“In fact, if he can survive tonight, his situation might be salvageable. I’ve contacted my professor. He’s a famous Swiss cardiologist that is very experienced with crushed organ conditions caused b y violent impact. But his plane will only arrive tomorrow…”
Everyone fell silent as soon as Director Sven finished his words.
Aida looked at Grant, whose face was calm. Grant’s voice was extremely faint.
“Thank you, Uncle Sven. Please do your best to keep Clayton alive until the cardiologist arrives, regardless of the method you use.”
Director Sven nodded his head. This was the only way.
No one in the Stanton family had given up on Clayton, which meant they could not just announce that Clayton’s case was hopeless.
This was also the reason why they did not choose another hospital and stayed here.
Director Sven sighed and was about to say something when he was called away by a nurse’ s urgent voice.
“The ICU patient is in cardiac arrest!”
