Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1032

Raeleigh was able to get hold of a doctor quickly, who then checked on Deanna alongside some medical officers. The preliminary medical examination confirmed that it was due to food poisoning. Subsequent testing was required to determine the exact germs that led to the food poisoning.

Zorion carried Deanna to the observation unit. Not long after the preliminary screening, the doctor came to the conclusion that the food poisoning was caused by a substance called tetramine.

"What are we supposed to do now, doc?" Zorion said. He was pale and expressionless as he stood outside. Comparatively, Santiago was a lot calmer. Raeleigh stood beside Zorion. She looked agitated.

Four people were in the ward. Deanna was the only one who was down with food poisoning. She ate a piece of watermelon before she succumbed to food poisoning. Raeleigh was the one who brought the watermelon.

A thought crossed Raeleigh's mind. Then, she looked at Scarlette and said, "Scarlett and Hadrian, bring the leftover watermelon here. Let's have the doctor examine it."

Puzzled, she then headed straight to the ward alongside Hadrian. At that moment, the doctor could be seen answering Santiago's questions.

"We' re trying our level best, working against the clock to help her with some detoxification," the doctor explained. "The outcome is dependent upon the patient's willpower though."

The doctor proceeded to treat her as soon as he replied. Raeleigh stood aside, clasping her hands tightly. She wondered why she had been consistently going through a spate of bad luck. If Deanna's life was in jeopardy, then she would be devastated.

Scarlette dashed over and handed the watermelon to the doctor. She followed as the doctor left to examine the watermelon. Hadrian tagged along too.

When he saw Raeleigh looking distressed, Santiago walked towards Raeleigh and comforted her. "No worries, it's gonna be alright."

Raeleigh looked at Santiago and said, "I was the one who bought the watermelon. I was merely trying to help the poor girl. Never have I thought that somebody has intentionally contaminated it."

"It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay," Santiago said reassuringly. Raeleigh was unsettled, so much so that she croaked. Santiago immediately clasped her in his arm to soothe her nerves.

Raeleigh closed her eyes and leaned on his shoulder. Grief-stricken, she could barely breathe properly.

"It's gonna be okay," Santiago assured repeatedly. Raeleigh nodded. Deanna was still in the emergency room by the time Scarlette and Hadrian were back. They were at a loss for words as they beheld the scene before their eyes.

Zorion was gritting his teeth as he looked at them. It was an icy look. Momentarily, Scarlette had a feeling that he was disgusted and that something bad would ensue.

"Raeleigh," Scarlette greeted as she walked towards Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked at her and said, "I'm alright. Deanna's gonna be alright too."

Santiago loosened his hold and let her go. Then, he cupped her cheeks and said, "Listen, Deanna's a blessed girl. Very much blessed. It's been said that someone who manages to come through an ordeal unscathed is indeed someone who is blessed. That's Deanna. She' s going to get through this."

Raeleigh nodded. "Deanna's gonna be alright," she said. "Yes, she will."

"There you go," Santiago said. "That's right, be positive."

Zorion raised his head and looked at Santiago. He closed his eyes and said a silent prayer, hoping that Deanna would make it through.

Everyone was on tenterhooks as they waited. At exactly ten o'clock at night, the lights in the operating theater were finally turned off.

Raeleigh walked towards the operating theater right away. The doctor walked out of the operating theater. After a brief pause, he said, "The patient needs a blood transfusion. Who’s her next of kin?"

"I’m her twin brother," Zorion said. The doctor took a breath and said, "The patient is in a stable condition. In the meantime, she has to undergo hemodialysis where we’ll draw blood out of her body to filter it. We need someone to donate some blood to her."

"Right, I got you," Zorion said. "I'm her brother. That shouldn't be a problem. We share the same blood type."

"Great, come along."
