After falling into a deep coma, Mary only felt exhaustion. She was so tired that every part of her body seemed heavy. Even making a slight move was impossible. She felt she was falling into a deep and dark place.
She was even unaware of the passing of time. Breathing was the only thing she could do.
She did not know whether she was conscious or not. Sometimes she felt she was in the water, sometimes lying on the bed, sometimes with the children, and sometimes with William.
In a daze, she felt many people running back and forth around her, making her unable to think properly. She really wanted to fall into deep sleep, but those people seemed to not allow her.
''Pulse...''
"Blood pressure..."
"Breathe..."
"Prepare for electric shock!" A man's anxious voice echoed in her ears.
Boom! The first time.
"Again! One, two..."
Boom! The second time. Her limbs, chest, and back were feeling more uncomfortable. Mary shouted in her heart, 'Don't do that again!'
"Her heartbeat is back to normal."
Thank goodness!
Mary felt relieved. As expected, her prayers worked. Finally, she could go back to sleep.
"Thank God!" The people waiting outside the operating room heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the doctor come out. Aisha clasped her hands together and said, "It's great that my sister is fine. When will she wake up?"
"We can't be sure yet. We can only tell you that she survived." The doctor took off his mask and continued, "There is another thing."
"What is it?"
"The patient is pregnant," the doctor answered while smiling. "There are signs of miscarriage, but the fetus in the womb is tenacious. It's alright now."
"William is going to be a father again!" Archer shouted excitedly, both from grief and joy.
"Oh my God!" Ena covered her mouth and shouted, "Mary and her baby are so strong!"
Aisha shrugged and said expressionlessly, "Looks like my sister's future is bound up with that man. Unfortunately!" "If you tell William this news, he will directly jump out of bed." With his hands in his pockets, Victor looked at the ward next to Mary's.
Through the glass window, he saw William lie on the bed inside. With an oxygen tube in his mouth connected to a ventilator, he lay on the bed with his eyes closed, not moving even once.
The two bullets in William's body had been successfully taken out. The operation was over earlier than that of Mary, but it was still unknown when he would wake up and what would happen when he did. Right now, they could only be sure that his life was saved.
"It's good if he could jump up." Archer's eyes darkened. He had just called Timothy, and he did not know when William's parents would come to the hospital. He hoped that they would not suffer too much when they saw William's state.
"Aisha, it's time to go." In silence, a police officer stood behind Aisha and said respectfully, "The superior ordered us to go back to the headquarters tomorrow."
Aisha rolled her eyes and asked, "Where is Jazlyn? I haven't seen her for a long time."
"She's accompanying Dr. Murong in the operating room," Ena answered in a hurry while pointing at the direction of the operating room.
Asha rolled her eyes again and ordered to the police officer, "Go and ask Jazlyn to come here!" "Yes, madam!"
Standing aside, Archer asked Aisha, "When will you come back?"
"I don't know," she answered casually. "It depends on the punishment that I'll receive from the headquarters. This time, I made the decision to shoot the cunning devil Corbett without permission. I went too far. Maybe they have decided to send me to the South Pole to protect the penguins. Or I will be ordered to go to the front line and enjoy the rain of bullets. Perhaps they would give me a detention for three months."
Overhearing the conversation, Ena was too surprised to say anything.
Archer's face became pale. "If I can't see you for a long time, I will miss you."
"You can look at my sister's face when you miss me."
"Aisha," Archer swallowed and responded after a while, "I'll go with you."
"No way!" Aisha stopped him immediately. "Stop your boring thoughts. You have to stay here and protect my sister. If anything happens to her again, I will never forgive you!"
Archer spread out his hands and said, "Everything is fine now. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not." "It's hard to say." Aisha pressed her lips and added, "Anyway, you'd better stay here. You have to take care of William, Alick and Elissa, my sister, and the baby in her belly. You have such a heavy task! Don't put them in danger again. I'm going to see Jazlyn. Why hasn't she come over yet?"
'In danger?'
Archer thought for a moment and asked eagerly, "Is Corbett really dead?"
Aisha stopped in her tracks. She turned around and gave Archer a meaningful smile. Without saying anything more, she continued to walk forward.
"What did she mean by that?" Confused, Ena looked at Victor and then at Archer. "What did she mean by smiling?"
"I don't know." Victor shook his head.
"Her smile was weird. I don't know what it meant either." Archer shrugged and said to Ena, "At that time, we jumped into the sea to save Mary and William. As for Corbett, it was the police who dived into the sea to find him. It was said that several bodies that were blown up and mangled were found. They couldn't be sure if one of them was Corbett 's."
"Wasn't he shot?" asked Victor.
"Yes." Archer nodded and continued, "Aisha wouldn't miss the target." "He must be dead then." Ena bit her fingertips nervously and said, "Since Mary is fine, can we go in and see her?"
"Not yet." The doctor shook his head. "But if you want, you can go and see the children in that ward. Although they are fine, they may have been frightened."
