My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1166

Lying in bed, I couldn't sleep. When the drip finished, and the nurse pulled out the catheter, only then was I able to get out of bed to walk.

I didn't know where Hendrix went, but I thought I'd better go visit Irvin. I found Irvin's ward after asking the nurses on duty. There was a nurse in his ward, and she greeted me with a smile when I walked in.

Irvin had not woken up from the anesthetic yet. He had hit his head when the canopy collapsed but currently, as he was under a blanket, I could see no visible injuries on him. I asked the nurse, "How's he doing?"

The nurse said, "The doctor had just confirmed that his head was injured but we're not sure if there is any concussion. His right rib was pierced by an iron rod, but fortunately, it did not penetrate any vital organs. However, his injuries are severe and he may be hospitalized for a period of time. The other parts of the injuries are just superficial so it should be fine."

His ribs were pierced by an iron rod... I trembled as the nurse's words sank in. I was shocked beyond words.

I walked over to Irvin's bed and sat down, momentarily dumbfounded. If it wasn't for him, I could have died. The person lying unconscious then would be me. How fragile life was, and I hadn't lived half of my life yet. But Irvin cheated death for me, twice, and this time he almost lost his life.

How could I not worry for him? I was human after all, and obviously I felt guilty over his condition.

"Miss Reid, you should go back and rest. I will take good care of Mr. Granger. Don't worry!" The nurse looked at me with an understanding gaze.

I shook my head slightly and said, "I'm fine. I won't be able to rest even if I go back now. I might as well stay here. It's ok, you don't have to worry about me!"

Seeing that she couldn't convince me, she did not refute.
