Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 878

The black banquet was galloping on the street.

It had only been ten minutes since they left the shore, but every minute felt like a year for Simon. He stepped on the gas and ran two stoplights in a row. However, no matter how fast he drove the car, there was nothing he could do when they had been held up in traffic.

He turned up the heat at full blast. But Emily, who was sitting aside, was still shivering.

Emily curled into a ball. Simon held her white hands firmly while she also gripped his so tightly that even her knuckles turned white.

It seemed that she felt something was going seriously wrong. She closed her eyes and kept mumbling, "My baby..."

Simon leaned close to her and finally heard her words.

"Simon, save the baby, our baby..." Her lips were trembling as she begged piteously. Her hair on the forehead and temples was damp with sweat and river water. Her trembling voice sounded so earnest. "Please! Please save our baby..."

Her piteous look wrenched Simon's heart, but he could not do anything for her at this moment. He kept kissing her hand and tried to comfort her with words. "I will! Don't be afraid. Our baby will be fine! We are on the way to the hospital. I am a doctor. I will save our baby. Believe me!"

"Baby. Save our baby..."

Emily, who had already collapsed on the co- pilot seat, murmured it again and again for a long time.

Gradually, she seemed to have lost her consciousness, streaks of damp hair plastered to her face. She was in such a mess as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Well, Simon indeed had just rescued her from the river.

When he thought of the scene that she was sinking into the river, Simon felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Unlike these shallow artificial lakes, the fast-rolling river was deep and bottomless. If he hesitated a little or moved slightly slower, she would sink deeper and face an even more dangerous situation.

Simon kept a tight grip on her ice-cold fingers but failed to warm her hands up. He could only hope that he could drive faster and faster!

Finally, Simon saw the hospital ahead...

With a sudden brake, he stopped the car before the door of the emergency building. He had informed the hospital in advance, so nurses and doctors were already there waiting for them with a stretcher. Simon jumped out of the car, put Emily on the stretcher, and strode inside.

The director of obstetrics and gynecology had been waiting at the door of the operating room. As he saw Simon, he said, "Simon, wait outside!"

Then, the green light above the door of the operation room was turned on, indicating that the operation began.

Simon stood in the corridor with his hands down. The blood between his fingers had dried up, and he still could not bend his trembling fingers.

Both his wide-opened grey coat and shirt were dyed red by Emily's blood. The blood mixed with the water from the river dropped onto the ground, making many pink marks resemble lotus flowers. What a horrifying scene it was!

Simon had been a heart surgeon for many years and had performed countless surgeries on many different operating tables, so he had become numb with blood since long ago. However, at this moment, a horrible feeling he had never felt in his life came over him.

"My baby..."

"Save our baby..."

Simon broke out in a cold sweat that wrapped him up. A chill overwhelmed his heart.

He told her that their baby could be saved in the car, but he just said that to comfort her. Even he was not sure if their baby could be saved or not.

There was so much blood. Simon thought that they might lose their baby this time...

His Adam's apple moved, and he did not dare to think about it anymore.
