Chapter 550 Elliot’s eyes were instantly filled with a menacing aura!
The doctor quickly corrected himself and said, “I’m not saying she’s dead. She’s possibly in shock after losing too much blood. Ahem, it could be hypovolemic shock!”
Elliot’s lashes fluttered as he took a deep breath. He held Avery so tightly in his arms that it was like he wanted to absorb her into his own body.
Moments later, the helicopter landed at the hospital, and Avery was rushed into the emergency35 room.
As Elliot stood outside of the emergency room doors, it felt like someone had hit a pause button on him.
It was as if his entire heart and body had been suckede8 dry!
What would he do if anything happened to Avery?
His phone rang, interrupting his agonizing79 thoughts.
He pulled out his phone and answered it.
“How’s Avery?! I’ve dealt with Grimes!” Mike said gleefully. “That old b*st*rd! I knew he would escape through the abc door… We caught him the moment he walked87 out!”
Elliot’s Adam’s apple rolled in his throat, and he croaked, “She was shot in the arm. She’s in the emergency room right now.”
“Which hospital are you at?! I’m coming over right away!” Mike paused, then asked, “Was she conscious when you found a her?”
Elliot suddenly did not know how to answer his question.
“Say something!” Mike snapped. “F*cking say something, Elliot Foster!”
“She’s definitely still alive,” Elliot mumbled.
Mike understood.
Avery was either already dead, or she was close to death.
“Go home, Mike.” Elliot clenched his fists as he tried to keep his reason intact, then said calmly, “The kids are waiting at home. Go home and explain things to them.”
“Explain? How am I supposed to explain anything?! Do I tell them their mother’s dead?!” Mike mocked coldly. “Why don’t you go and do it?!”
“She’s not dead!” The final ounce of reason Elliot had left instantly vanished. “I said she’s not dead! She can’t be dead!”
It felt like an eternity before the doors to the emergency room opened.
A doctor rushed out and asked, “Are you the patient’s family, Sir?” Elliot approached and said, “Yes! I am!” “Is the patient pregnant? Her abdomen is protruding slightly…” asked the doctor.
“She is! The baby will be four months old soon!”
“I see. The current situation is…”
Elliot could not help but cut off the doctor’s sentence.
“Is she still alive?! Tell me she’s still alive!”
“She’s alive, Sir,” answered the doctor. “Her breathing was shallow when she arrived. After emergency resuscitation, her breathing is slowly getting back to normal. However, she’s got a high fever and she’s lost a lot of blood. We need to treat her fever, then remove the bullet from inside of her.”
Elliot’s eyes filled with tears as he muttered, “I knew she was still alive…”
“May I know your relationship with the patient, Sir? Can you contact her husband?” asked the doctor. “Since she’s pregnant, we can’t simply administer any drugs to her. Any type of medication could affect the baby.”
Elliot froze for a moment, then quickly said, “Treat her first. Use whatever medication you need. Her health is the most important.”
“Oh, are you her husband?”
Elliot’s eyes reddened as he said, “I’m the baby’s father.” The doctor was actually asking him to choose between saving Avery or the baby.
