Chapter 124
Pearl nodded and went to Renee’s mother’s room.
Inside, Renee was crying as she called out to her mother.
“Alright, I’m going to take Jennifer to another hospital now,” Richard said. He carefully lifted Jennifer onto his back, then gently placed her in the back seat.
He took the wheel and drove to the nearest hospital with Renee and Pearl accompanying him.
Upon arrival at the hospital, they encountered resistance from the staff, who were reluctant to accept the
transfer due to hospital rules.
“I’ll give you three minutes to reconsider. Either help her or get out of our way,” Richard warned, his imposing presence making them hesitate.
Dealing with the well-known Richard Waldorf before them, they softened their tone.
“Mister Waldorf, I…”
“Three minutes.”
“Alright, alright, please calm down. We’ll admit her to the emergency room right away,” one of the doctors relented, smiling awkwardly and signaling his colleagues to assist in moving Jennifer to the emergency
room.
As they waited outside, Renee paced nervously, her eyes tired and ringed with dark circles. Pearl felt a wave of sympathy for her.
“You’ve been looking after your mom tirelessly. You must be exhausted. Why don’t you sit down and rest for a while?” Observing Renee’s worn-out appearance, Pearl couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness.
“I’m fine. I’m going to wait for her to come out.” Renee shook her head and refused to take a seat.
The surgery seemed to drag on forever, and when the red light finally turned off, Pearl’s legs were numb from standing.
Renee immediately sprang to her feet, anxiously awaiting the doctor’s exit.
The doctor, wearing glasses, looked around and asked, “Is there a family member here?”
Renee rushed forward. “I’m here!”
“Unfortunately… the patient didn’t take the correct medication after her surgery. This caused her to cough up blood. The medication she took ended up causing severe damage to her b*dy, so… I’m sorry, we did everything we could.”
A heavy silence fell over them after the doctor’s announcement.
After a long pause, Renee’s voice trembled as she spoke, “Wrong medication? How is that possible? The doctors provided all the medication she took, and I personally watched her take them. How could she have taken the wrong ones? You’re not lying to me, are you?”
