Genevieve and Noah were arguing in the office.
"No, call Nathaniel back no matter what!"
This was Genevieve's idea, but it was also her demand.
But Noah said firmly, "That's impossible. You and I both know what it means if Nathaniel comes back now."
"But in Mango's current state, you can't even guarantee what will happen to her tomorrow. If she really can't make it through, can you bear to let her not see her husband in the end? Noah, you are doing it for your friend's sake, but you're also a doctor. Think about it, if the person lying on the hospital bed today is me and no one tells you about my condition. When you come back, you would only see my state of illness or my corpse. So, what would you do then?"
Genevieve's comparison made Noah very uncomfortable.
"You won't!"
"I'm also a human being! I'm still a woman!"
"Genevieve, you and I are both doctors and we have excellent medical skills. I know that you are an expert in gynecology and you can solve complicated problems that others can't. As long as we survive these three days and after that, regardless of Mango's condition, I will inform Nathan to come back. Is that okay?"
Noah's words made Genevieve a little powerless.
"What if Mango doesn't make it past three days?"
Noah was a little stunned.
"Didn't you say that her surgery was successful?"
"Yes, the operation is very successful, but her body's condition is even worse now and her uterus is damaged. Whether or not there will be a big blood flow after this is unknown. I just temporarily stopped the blood for her, and I don't know what will happen later. You and I are both doctors, and both of us know what will happen after the operation. Now, the best way is to let Nathaniel come back and take care of Mango. Perhaps, maybe..."
Genevieve didn't say what she wanted to say, but Noah understood.
It wasn't that he didn't have compassion in his heart, but he had to stay firm with his opinion.
"I've said it before. Three days! As long as the last three days pass, I will let Nathan come back. I know that you feel sad and you also feel sorry for Mango, but only I know where Nathan is. If you want those outsides to besiege me, you can go and ahead to tell them the truth."
After finishing his words, Noah turned around and he left.
Genevieve bit her lower lip in anger, but she knew that she couldn't watch Noah be jointly attacked by the Hans family, the Ye family, and the Song family.
It turned out that selfish people were not only Noah but also her.
Sometimes, it was difficult to maintain personal integrity especially when it came to matters concerning their loved ones.
Genevieve slumped down on the chair and her heart filled with all sorts of discomfort.
When Walter ran over, he saw Noah leaving the office with a gloomy face. Without thinking too much, he knocked on Genevieve's door directly.
"Dr. Bay, something bad has happened! The condition of Mango is not very good. You should go and have a look!"
Walter's voice was loud and clear.
Genevieve quickly got up and she ran towards the ICU.
When she arrived at the guardian room, Genevieve saw the panicked expression on Rainie's face and she hurriedly checked on Mango's body condition.
"The blood pressure is too high, and her mood is not stable. She must have had something that disturbed him in her dream. But fortunately, she didn't have a fever. I will give her a shot to calm her down so that Mango could sleep. All of you must stay alert to the data on the instruments around her, okay?"
Upon giving the instruction, Genevieve hurriedly gave Mango a shot.
Mango's uneasy heart condition slowly calmed down under the stimulation of the medicine.
Seeing that Mango quiet down again, Walter and Rainie were relieved.
"I will be waiting outside, so call me if there's anything."
Walter's words made Rainie nod.
Fortunately, Walter was there just now as Rainie was panicked at that moment.
"All right."
Genevieve looked at them, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She then lifted her feet to
walk out.
The night was very dark. Neither Rainie nor Walter had the mood to eat. They were watching over Mango from the inside and outside of the room.
In the middle of the night, Walter was a little sleepy.
Upon looking around, he found that there were bodyguards brought by Thomas not far away. Inside the room, Rainie was afraid of falling asleep, and she took a needle to poke herself to stay awake.
Walter yawned and he went to the bathroom to smoke a cigarette.
He stood up, looked left and right, before heading straight to the bathroom.
A nurse was pushing a cart into the ICU.
When Walter and the nurse passed by each other, he frowned slightly before asking.
"Is this the medicine for Mango?"
"Yes. Dr. Bay said that Mrs. Ye is too weak and she needs to take some medicine."
The nurse whispered.
Walter nodded and he felt that the nurse's voice was somehow familiar, but he did not think much about it.
"Be careful and be gentle too. Don't wake
Mango up."
"All right."
The nurse pushed the cart and she passed by him.
