Chapter 392
Adrian wanted to chase after her, but on second thought, chose not to.
‘She probably needs some time to calm down. After all, even I need some time to myself sometimes‘
Thus, Adrian continued to wait in the hospital hallway.
After around twenty minutes, the clacking of high–heeled shoes could be heard. Samantha, who was in her uniform, now stood next to Adrian.
Adrian was quite surprised to see her here, “Sam? What are you doing here?”
Samantha’s face was slightly flushed as she asked, “What are you doing here all on your own?”
She had no idea Adrian was at the hospital at that moment, and neither did he know that she was there too.
“A friend is in the emergency ward and I’m waiting for him to come out. What about you?”
“I’m here for a check–up.” Samantha’s face turned red as she said this.
“What kind of check–up?”
“A preconception checkup!”
Samantha’s voice suddenly turned extremely soft as she continued, “I was originally planning on asking you to come with me but you said you were going to be busy these few days so I came on my own.”
Samantha was preparing to conceive so she needed to do a lot in preparation for it, including preconception tests and taking care of her health. She found out from a group of mothers that if she
was at her fittest while she was pregnant, her baby would turn out to be smart and healthy.
Adrian thought that it was a little funny, but he was also touched by how naive Samantha was,
Before he could say anything, Samantha asked, “How’s your friend?”
At that moment, a doctor in his sixties walked out of the emergency ward.
The doctor’s name was Robert Seusse, a professor from Southrive’s field hospital. Adrian had sent someone to drive him and his medical team over to help save Chuck
Robert walked over and said, “Sir.”
Adrian immediately got up from his chair. “How is he?”
Robert nodded and replied, “Nothing to worry about, sir. He’s no longer in any danger. We managed to stabilize him. Many of his arteries were cut, including his throat, so it’s going to take some time before he fully recovers.
“Thank goodness you got him here in time. One moment later and we might’ve missed our chance to save him.”
Hearing this, the huge weight on Adrian’s chest was finally lifted. He smiled and said, “Good work. Sorry for dragging you here all the way from Southrive.”
Robert smiled in return. “No thanks necessary, sir. I’m just carrying out my duties. Plus, as the professor of a field hospital, I’d be wasting all of Wyvern Peal’s efforts in supporting me if I can’t even do such a simple task.”
Adrian patted Robert’s shoulder. “Get some rest, Robert. You must be tired.”
Robert acknowledged before returning to the ductor’s office.
Shortly after that, a few medical staff brought Chuck to the ICU, with Adrian following behind.
In there, Chuck had all kinds of tubes stuck into laim and a respiratory machine covered his mouth and nose. He seemed so fatigued at that moment–stuck in a coma.
Adrian felt saddened when he saw the state Chuck was in. He then recalled a time when Chucks was much younger and healthy
212
compared to the state he was in at that moment.
Unable to control himself, Adrian’s facial expression shifted
Samantha walked into the ward and stood by the side. When she saw Chuck in the hospital bed, she asked, “What happened to Chuck? I remember him sending us gifts a few years ago.”
Samantha was able to recognize Chuck as he would visit them regularly back when Adrian had disappeared. However, the family lost contact with him later on.
