My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 114

When Kevin finally caught his senses, he saw Rachel's mouth moving. Dazed, he couldn't understand what she was trying to say. The patient had been stabilized and the nurse headed out to inform the family about her condition.

As Kevin washed and sanitized himself, Rachel followed the patient into the ICU.

The patient's mother and sister followed close behind.

After the patient was sent into the ICU, the elderly woman gently grabbed Rachel's hand. With tears streaming down her face, she choked a brief thank you to her.

With glossy red eyes, the young lady thanked her as well.

Rachel nodded.

She comforted them and began to ask them questions about the patient's medical history.

Too overwhelmed with tears, the elderly woman could only sob.

The young lady on the side answered, "My sister has no medical history. She only caught a cold two weeks ago." She bit her lips and emphasized, "My sister has always been healthy. We never knew that she had a heart condition."

Rachel lowered her head and recorded this information. She lifted her eyes and said calmly, ■d

"Heart diseases are very common. There could have been many external factors that contributed to the heart attack. We'll try to run some tests to understand more about her condition."

The young woman's face changed. She wanted to ask Rachel something, but she decided otherwise since her mother was here.

After a brief pause, she thanked Rachel once again. "Thank you, doctor."

"No problem." Rachel closed her note book and looked at the ICU before saying, "The patient is still in a critical condition. She will be under observation for the next twenty-four hours."

"What do you mean that she's still in critical condition? Doctor! Did my daughter's surgery fail?" The elderly woman's face changed and she grabbed Rachel's hand tightly.

Before Rachel could reply, the young lady walked up to her mother. "Mom, the doctor said that they will keep her under observation. Don't worry."

The elderly woman still shook nervously. "Really?"

Rachel placed a hand on the woman's shoulder. "Yes, don't worry. The nurses will be here checking up on her every hour." Then the nurses came out of the ICU.

"Can I go stay with my daughter?" the elderly woman asked.

Rachel nodded her head.

After hesitating for a while, the young lady walked up to Rachel. "Doctor, will my sister ■d

survive?"

Rachel hesitated, it differed between the cases. "The patient is currently not in good shape. But we're doing everything to ensure that she will make it."

The young lady mumbled, "By the way, she has been losing weight recently and is suffering from malnutrition." She bent her head down and sighed.

Rachel wanted to say more but she couldn't make any promises.

After she finished work, Rachel saw the mother and daughter with the patient. They were watching over her.

She had seen many births and deaths in the hospital. Yet, it still saddened her that not all lives could be saved.

When Rachel returned to her office, Mendes was still watching the cartoon. Her heart softened at the sight.

There was another nurse who was taking care of him. She came a little while after Rachel had left for her shift.

When the nurse saw Rachel, she stood up and approached her. Still engrossed in the cartoon, Mendes sat unmoving.

She whispered, "He is so much more obedient now!"

Mendes turned his head and smiled at her. Grinning, he put his iPad away and ran to Rachel.

"Rachel!" the boy yelled with glee. Rachel raised her eyebrows, wondering what he wanted to say. ■d

She calmly pried Mendes1 arms away from her leg and touched his head. "Well, it looks like you're very well behaved now!"

Mendes nodded, "Yes. Ask her if you don't believe me."

The nurse touched his head and laughed before leaving.

Staring at him, Rachel arched an eyebrow, waiting for him to speak further.

Mendes frowned at her. He wanted her to praise him too.

Rachel pretended not to notice his expression. She patted his little butt and said, "Your sister will come to see you in the afternoon."

Mendes' eyelids twitched. "Rachel! Can I go to your place tonight? I want to play with Grandpa Jonathan."

He finally revealed what he wanted.

Rachel was about to pretend not to agree just to amuse him. But the boy immediately held her arm and began to act like a spoiled child.
