Once they were done with their intimacy, Maddox spoke again.
"My wife was severely injured. I will not let this go easily."
Jonathan almost had a breakdown. What about him? His wife was lying in the emergency room, and he did not even know whether her life was in danger!
At this moment, the door of the emergency room opened. The doctor came out. "May I know which one of you is Bianca's family?"
No one answered!
The doctor frowned. "None of you are related to Bianca Sleet?"
Jonathan suddenly snapped out of his thoughts. He stepped forward and stated, "Doctor, I'm her husband."
"Sir, your wife has lost a lot of blood. Your child has to be delivered immediately. Can you please sign the consent form?" the doctor said.
Jonathan's eyes widened in shock. "The baby has to be pre-delivered? Then... will the baby be healthy?"
"Sir, we can't know for sure how the baby will do, but we will try our best. Please sign the form now. We cannot afford to waste any time."
Jonathan's hands were trembling as he took out a pen and signed his name. After giving it some thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Doctor, if it's possible... I have one request!"
"What is it?" The doctor glanced at him.
Jonathan clenched his fists as if he had made a great decision. "If it comes to the point that you had to choose between keeping my wife or my child alive, I want you to save my child!"
The doctor was stunned.
Kimberly, who was on the side, was speechless.
She widened her eyes as she couldn't believe what she just heard.
"Did Jonathan really just... told the doctor to fight for his child over his wife? What about his wife? Does he not want her anymore?" Kimberly thought.
Feeling the world had suddenly fallen silent, Kimberly shivered slightly. She could not believe this man whom she had spent two years in a marriage with was so cold-hearted. After spending two years with him, she still could not understand this man. Unexpectedly, this sc*mbag was so ruthless and heartless...
All of a sudden, Kimberly began to feel sorry for Bianca. Based on what she had said, she must have been another one of his poor victims.
Kimberly couldn't help but curse at him, "Jonathan, you are inhumane!"
Jonathan looked back at her. "Mind your own business. You are the cause for all of these. Do you want to pretend you have nothing to do with this?"
Kimberly sneered, "You should know well the reason she came to find me, right?" Jonathan felt guilty upon hearing that. He shrank his neck and turned to the doctor, "That's all from me. Thank you."
But unexpectedly, the doctor retorted, "Sir, our hospital policy states that if we have to choose between the mother or the child, we have to save the mother."
"What?" Jonathan frowned. "What do you mean? What kind of stupid policy is that? Shouldn't the family members be the ones making the decision for this kind of matter? What does it have to do with the hospital?"
The doctor ignored him and immediately went back into the operating room. After the door was closed, Jonathan wanted to chase after him. The nurse stood in his way, "I'm sorry, sir. This is the emergency ward. Please stop yelling."
Jonathan was so angry. He pointed towards the ward and yelled, "What do you mean there's a default policy of choosing the mother over the baby? Why will I want to keep the mother? The child is much more important to my family!"
The nurse was a woman. When she heard his straightforward words, she almost wanted to give him a punch. But out of her professionalism, she resisted the urge. In the end, she just said sarcastically, "Do you need him for your family's inheritance?"
Jonathan was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
"If you don't need the baby for your family's inheritance, why can't you have another baby? Why do you have to choose the baby over the mother? You might not even want the child if it's a girl, do you?"
