“Alright, I agree.” Just when Vanessa thought Nathan would refuse, Nathan unexpectedly turned to look at her. “Vanessa, you shoulde along too. After all, you performed the surgery on Suzy. Now that her condition has worsened, you should check and see what the cause is.”

Vanessa was about to object when suddenly her eyelid twitched violently.

Nathan’s cold words were like a thorn, piercing through her drowsiness.

Her expression changed slightly as she suddenly recalled what Helen had said when they met at noon. For a moment, her heart skipped a beat.

Could there really be something wrong with Susanna’s illness?

Privately, she also felt that Susanna’s illness was rather odd. By all ounts, it had been three days already; she should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow!

But now… she’s still fainting?

She seemed to have a bad premonition!

“Alright.” She got up and agreed.

Casey opened the door

“Vanny, you’re Nathan’s wife. Go supervise your husband and the interloper, see if they still have the nerve to do anything. When dealing with an interloper, you can’t afford to be soft.” As soon as the door

opened, Casey pulled Vanessa aside and earnestly instructed her.

Vanessa already understood Casey’s intentions, but because she was preupied, she just gave a perfunctory response.

Nathan hurriedly rushed outside.

She followed after him.

All the way, Vanessa kept her brows furrowed.

Having to follow Nathan to visit Susanna was even more disgusting to her than swallowing a fly!

She would never supervise those two like Casey suggested.

Later, as long as she saw that Susanna was fine, she would sneak off to the hospital office to sleep. Whatever they did, let them be.

Even now, she still didn’t believe Susanna would actually faint.

After all, it was just aparoscopic surgery. How much could possibly go wrong!

In the darkness, Nathan’s face was grim as he pressed the elerator, the car speeding forward at a breakneck pace.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

The ward was in utter chaos.

Susannay motionless on the hospital bed, like a lifeless rag doll.

The on-duty doctor was busy administering oxygen and trying to resuscitate her.

“Suzy.” Nathan’s expression changed as he rushed into the ward.

Vanessa looked at the man’s face, tense with pain as if his flesh were being cut, and her heart twinged slightly.

Nathan only ever got this anxious over Susanna, didn’t he?

No, when they were children, he used to get just as anxious over her. Once, when she was peeling fruit, she identally cut her hand and blood started flowing. She cried loudly in fright, and Nathan had run to her, just as worried and distressed… It was because of this that she had always mistakenly believed he loved her too.

“Doctor, what on earth is going on?” Nathan rushed in and tightly embraced Susanna, his eyes wide with anger as he demanded.

“Mr. Powell, she… she fainted for some unknown reason. By all ounts…” The on-duty doctor seemed at a loss.

“Vanessa.” Nathan suddenly remembered something, his bloodshot eyes quickly turning to Vanessa, who had just entered. “Come over and take a look. What’s wrong with her?”

Only now did Vanessa see Susanna’s deathly pale face, lying motionless on the hospital bed. She didn’t look like she was faking, so Vanessa immediately stepped forward to examine her.

Very quickly, a chill ran down her spine!

Susanna had indeed fainted!

She sensed that the situation was serious.

“Quick, take her to the operating room for emergency treatment. Do an abdominal ultrasound immediately.” She ordered at once.

“Alright.”

A flurry of emergency action followed.

Susanna was quickly taken to the examination room.

Vanessa sat in the office, rapidly filling out various test orders, a tense and uneasy atmosphere surrounding her.

In all her years in the profession, she had never felt this way before.

Over the years, she had performed countless major surgeries on patients, and nothing like this had ever happened!

Susanna, are you really the only one so delicate?

“Dr. Dorsey, something’s wrong! The ultrasound results for patient in bed 38 just came out. It shows there’s a foreign object in the abdomen, it looks like a hemostat.” The nurse’s face changed color and she rushed in anxiously.

“A hemostat? Where did thate from?” Vanessa’s heart sank and she asked immediately.

“I don’t know,” the nurse shook her head. “But the doctor who did the ultrasound said it really looks like the kind of hemostat used during surgery. It’s possible it was left inside the patient’s abdomen during the operation.”

“Impossible!” Vanessa denied loudly. “The view during aparoscopic surgery is extremely clear, it’s not an open major surgery. How could a foreign object be left behind?”
