At last, Shedrick decided not to stay in the ward. He said to the assistant, "Please keep watch on her here. I'm going to take my leave first. Do inform me if she wakes up tomorrow."
After reminding her, he turned around and looked at Chester. "Do you want to leave with me?"
"I'm on duty tonight," Chester said nonchalantly.
Shedrick was puzzled. Why did Chester have to be on duty when the hospital was his?
Nevertheless, he was too lazy to ask Chester, so he left straight away.
After standing for a short while, Chester left the ward too. However, he went to the department of internal medicine in the inpatient unit instead of going home.
The doctor on duty, Dr. Judson, was astonished to see him. "Dr. Jewell, why are you here tonight?"
"Professor Webb just did his operation, and I'm quite worried." Chester sat in front of his desk.
"Dr. Jewell, you're such a responsible doctor," Dr. Judson said with admiration.
However, Chester ignored him. He simply browsed through the medical record and played with his phone
for a while.
At 1:00 am., he went to the emergency room.
Hailey had already left, and only the assistant was left, sleeping groggily by the bed.
Chester glanced at the IV infusion bottle and realized that the bottle was almost empty. Hence, he reached out to remove the tube and put in another new bottle.
Eliza suddenly jerked on the bed, but she was not awake. She was mumbling as if she had encountered something terrifying in her dream.
Chester bent over and approached her, only to hear her murmuring, "Save me. I don’t want to die."
A miserable look washed over her face. She even broke out in a cold sweat.
The assistant beside her woke up with a start and was shocked to find Chester here.
Chester was not bothered about how the assistant was looking at him. He patted softly on Eliza’s face to wake her up.
