At Shallow Bay.
Luke was watching the monitoring in the control room when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He guessed that it might be Davey, so he hurriedly took out his phone. Seeing that it was from Davey, he immediately answered, "Hey, kiddo. Is my darling out?"
"Yeah, Aunty came out." Davey looked at Sydney who was hooked up to a ventilator, and his eyes reddened.
Luke was overjoyed. "Great. I'll be right over!"
He hung up the phone and looked at the staff in the control room. "Give me a copy of the video feed. The police will come later. Tell them that I went to the hospital." "Understood, Mr. Chase." The staff nodded.
Luke picked up the flash drive and walked away quickly.
Soon, he arrived at the hospital.
Davey told him the ward number, and he arrived at Sydney’s ward.
Inside, Davey and a few doctors were present.
Luke went in and immediately looked at the hospital bed. His expression changed when he saw Sydney. "Why is she on a ventilator?"
After all, being hooked up to a ventilator meant that the patient could not breathe by themselves.
This kind of situation often happened to patients who were dying.
'Is my darling...?'
Luke's eyes instantly reddened and misty with tears. His whole body was filled with grief.
"Darling..."
Luke staggered to the edge of the hospital bed and reached out a trembling hand to take Sydney's cold hand. His voice choked. "Darling, don't scare me. You’re still so young. How can you leave me? Darling, open your eyes and look at me..."
Hearing Luke's heartbroken cries, the doctor gave him an odd look and said, "Sir, did you misunderstand something?"
"What did I misunderstand? Tell me. What did I misunderstand?" Luke cried sadly and shouted.
The doctor rolled his eyes. "This lady isn't
dead yet."
"I know she's not dead, but isn’t she dying? She's on a ventilator..." Luke looked at Sydney with heartbroken eyes.
"Ugh." The doctor shook his head with a sigh. Then, he said, "What I mean is, this young lady suffered a severe head injury, resulting in slight hypoxia. That's why she was put on a ventilator. She's not dying, okay?"
"Huh?" Luke stopped crying and let out a confused noise.
Davey giggled in amusement.
Luke ignored Davey and grabbed the doctor's arm excitedly. "Doctor, are you serious? My darling is fine?" "She's fine. She just had a small piece of flesh cut from her wrist, and none of her nerves, arteries, or veins were damaged.
Although her head injury is serious, it's just a concussion. She'll be fine when she wakes up." The doctor pulled out his arm from Luke's grip.
Luke sighed in relief. "Thank goodness. Oh, thank goodness. I thought that my darling...
His face flushed bright red when he thought of his embarrassing appearance earlier.
The doctor shook his head and went out.
Davey stood by the hospital bed and turned to look at Luke next to him. "Mister, did you catch the bad guy?"
"Not yet." Luke's expression fell.
He indeed saw the person who knocked Sydney out when he checked the surveillance feeds in Shallow Bay.
However, he could not tell who the person was.
It was because that person covered themself up completely. It was clear that the person did not want to be recognized.
Davey heard that the bad guy was not caught yet and pouted in disappointment.
Luke also did not speak. The adult and child stood by the side of the bed, looking after Sydney.
The next day, Luke called Sophie and told her that Sydney would not be going to the company since she got into an accident. He told Sophie to bring Sydney's work to the hospital for him to handle.
Sophie was slightly worried when she heard that Sydney got into an accident.
After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly walked into Sydney’s office, packed up the things she had to take with her, and prepared to go to the hospital to visit Sydney.
When she entered Sydney’s office, a person came out of the large secretary's office beside it.
She stared at Sydney's office for a while before taking out her phone and making a call.
In Prima Hospital, Zach was reporting to Julien about the company affairs when his phone rang.
Julien pinched his temples. "Answer it."
