“Mr. Walsh!” Ben hurried over, looking anxious.
“Mr. Javier and Madam Sophia are here.”
Newton frowned. “Didn’t I say not to tell them about this?”
“I didn’t, but I couldn’t stop the news of something so important from reaching their ears!”
Just then, Javier and the rest of his family arrived.
“Jeremy? Where’s Jeremy?” Javier called out loudly as he walked over.
He rarely was this worried about his younger son. After hearing how badly Jeremy was injured, he had been so panicked that he had nearly aged another decade!
Sophia ground her teeth at Javier’s sudden change in attitude. But she could only pretend to be worried in front of him.
She cried out, “Jeremy! Where are you?”
Not even Betty could stomach it anymore. She quietly winced in disgust behind her mother.
“What are you yelling so loudly for? This isn’t a funeral!” Newton cried angrily, standing up with his secretary’s help.
“Dad! How is Jeremy right now?” Javier asked worriedly.
“They’re still tending to him in the ER. There’s no use getting all worked up now. Just sit down and wait!”
“Mr. Taylor, I heard that my son only got injured because he was saving your daughter. What do you have to say to that?” Javier stormed up to Winston.
If it weren’t for their professional relationship, Javier would have already grabbed the latter by the lapel.
Jonah swiftly stood in front of Winston, saying, “Let’s all take a step back, Mr. Javier.”
“Take a step back? If it was one of your brothers lying in the ER right now, do you think your father could just ‘take a step back’?” Javier roared.
Ever since Jeremy had divorced Alyssa, nothing but calamity had struck his family. Now because of her,
Jeremy himself was in mortal danger. So how could Javier not be angry?
Sophia internally sneered. Things were getting more and more interesting.
She had only wanted to end Lyla for good. Who knew the little bastard, Jeremy, would sacrifice himself like that?
If it was death he wanted, it was death he would get!
“I can understand how you feel, Mr. Javier. But getting angry right now won’t change the fact that your son is still in the ER being rescued. It won’t solve anything either.”
Winston had no choice but to offer some consolation. “Ever since our hospital started working with
Lovelace Pharmaceuticals, we’ve become the top hospital in the country. Your son will definitely make it out safely under our doctors’ care.”
Javier pursed his lips, quietly grumbling to himself about how the hospitals under their company were just as capable. Even now, Winston was still bragging!
All of a sudden, the ER doors opened. Two of the country’s best neurologists came outside, sporting uncertain expressions.
Alyssa immediately tensed up. She wanted to run up to them right away to ask how Jeremy was. But her tumultuous emotions kept her feet locked to the spot.
“Doctor! Doctors, how is my grandson?” Newton rushed over with Javier’s help.
Alyssa’s heart clenched painfully at the sight of the old man’s legs wobbling weakly under his weight.
“Things aren’t as good as we hoped. Mr. Jeremy is still in a critical condition,” one of the doctors said.
An invisible ray of lightning struck through the Walsh family members. Newton’s legs wobbled even further, nearly making him fall backward.
Javier was as pale as a bone. “How … how could this be?”
The doctor reported, “If this had been the first time Mr. Jeremy had a head injury, his wounds would have been easier to deal with.
“But after doing a CT scan, we noticed old scar tissue in his cranial area. That means he’s suffered traumatic injury on his head once before.
“There’s still blood clots near his brain that have yet to be removed entirely!”
“Old… old scar tissue?” Newton was shocked.
“He’s never participated in anything extreme. Why would he have suffered such injuries before? Who dared to hurt my grandson?”
Alyssa’s heart pounded furiously in her chest. When she had still been married to Jeremy, she had tried healing the old injuries in his head with acupuncture.
Every time she had tried asking him how he got it, he had always refused to answer.
Had Jeremy gotten those injuries from his time in Luminara? Were they the cause for the side effects?
BABUS
“The clots have shifted and are now pressing against his brain’s nervous system. If we don’t remove them now, there’s a high risk of brain death.”
The doctors’ words shocked Javier and Newton to their cores.
Javier’s heart slowly fell into a bottomless pit, while Newton nearly collapsed in his son’s arms.
“Oh Jeremy! You’re still so young… why did it have to come to this?” Sophia wailed, blaming Alyssa as she did.
“When did Jeremy ever mistreat you in your three years of marriage, Alyssa? He only asked for a divorce!
Why won’t you just leave him be?
“He didn’t even come to my own birthday but went to your father’s third wife’s instead! Now look at what happened to him! Are you trying to torture him?”
“What are you talking about, Madam Sophia?” Jonah finally’ snapped, his expression dark.
Though he was usually calm, he couldn’t stand hearing the insults directed at his sister any longer.
“Jeremy owes my sister for all she did during their marriage. You and your family know just how kind my sister was to him during those three years!
“We’re just as worried for Jeremy now that he’s hurt, but don’t start blaming my sister for things she didn’t do and ruin her reputation.
“Another word from you, and I can’t promise what I will do to you!” Jonah hissed.
Winston approved his son’s words and went to stand behind Alyssa protectively.
Sophia’s heart skipped fearfully, though she still used Javier as a shield.
“Did I say anything wrong? Do you dare swear upon your heart that Jeremy hasn’t suffered plenty in all these days that he’s been involved with your sister? Your sister clearly wants to make his life hell!”
“You got it wrong, woman! Jeremy is the one who won’t stop bothering Allison, so just shut the hell up!” Newton cried, still adamant on protecting his dear Allison.
Sophia’s expression turned all sorts of ugly colors before she finally shut up.
“What can be done to save my son now, doctor? He has to regain consciousness!” Javier asked worriedly.
He didn’t have any patience to deal with Alyssa and Sophia right now.
His eldest was crippled, so Jeremy was the only heir he had left who was still whole and healthy.
Javier didn’t want anything to happen to Jeremy now. That would jeopardize his family.
The doctor wiped the sweat off his brow, saying, “We … will need to do brain surgery immediately.”
“Brain surgery?” Everyone was shocked.
“Do it. If that’s the only way to save Jeremy, then why not?” Newton decided.
“But the problem is no neurosurgeon in the hospital right now can guarantee a high chance of success!”
Winston exclaimed.
Javier glared at him. “Didn’t you swear your hospital could save my son? What do we do now?”
