Chapter 269
The Huma Hospital.
The sounds of medical equipment, the smell of alcohol disinfectant, pale lighting, and the deathly silent corridors created a stark atmosphere.
" Take it easy."
Harsh, pitiful screams reverberated through the sterile ward.
The nurse, who was standing by, couldn't even bear to watch.
The man lying on the hospital bed held a tiny photo tightly with his gruesome burned fingers.
"Stephie... Stephie..."
"Your vocal cords are damaged. Even surgery can't fully restore them. You need to avoid speaking as much as possible. Endure it," the doctor, unable to bear the sight, whispered softly.
"Okay."
He buried his head in the pillow and quietly endured the pain as the doctor treated his terrible injuries.
"How could he bear it?"
"Why does such a handsome man have to suffer so much?"
"His survival is a miracle."
As the doctor left the ward, he sighed.
"He has multiple burn injuries , and the pain from the second -degree burns can reach level I0. This will greatly affect his sensory perception. Even if he survives, his perception of pain will become numb." The doctor observed Steven through the window.
He was lying on the bed while barely hanging on by a thread.
"Stephie..."
He slowly loosened his grip and gently wiped the bload-soaked photo.
His eyes were soft.
"Wait for me...
"T'm sorry..."
It was my fault for making her wait too long.
I hoped she wouldn't blame me.
"Mr. Lincoln Senior has instructed us to keep him in the hospital until his condition improves. Once he's better, bring him back."
"Mr. Lincoln, you can't leave!"
"Beep..."
The hospital alarm went off. The doctors and guards were distracted by the fire alarm.
