Her Sensational Return with Triplets After Six Years

Chapter 44 Bethany Is in Danger

Every minute and second that passed was an interminable torment to Raymond. He stared at the words "in the surgery" and clutched his clothes tightly with both hands at a loss. "Bethany, you must be all right..."

Raymond had been silently praying in his heart. The rescue operation had been going on for nearly six hours, and it was early morning when Bethany was wheeled out of the operating room. "Doctor, how is she?" Raymond's voice trembled as he asked.

"She is now out of danger, but there are multiple impact injuries on her body and a brain injury. We are not sure whether they will lead to memory loss, intellectual impairment, hearing impairment, etc. It will only be known after she wakes up for a check-up."

Upon hearing that, Raymond couldn't help but tremble with fear.

He requested the best ward at the hospital, and Bethany was pushed into the ward, still unconscious.

"When will she wake up?"

"Her coma is caused by craniocerebral injury, so we are not sure about that. It may take a day or two, three or four, or even longer. Take good care of her and inform us anytime if there is any situation," said the doctor.

After the doctor had left, there were only the two of them in the ward. Raymond sat down in front of the hospital bed, and Bethany's face was now pale and bloodless.

He gently lifted her clothes and saw that the severe injuries had already been bandaged. The bleeding abrasions, large and small, were appalling.

After that, he carefully covered her with a blanket and then looked at her with a feeling of distress, as if something had pierced his heart.

"Bethany, please wake up quickly..."

Back then, Raymond was severely injured and in a coma for three years. Although he woke up later, he had many sequels. Therefore, he didn't want Bethany to suffer as he had.

Raymond had been up all night, and as dawn broke, Bethany still showed no sign of waking. Raymond held up his hand to check the time and then called Morgan.

"Find me a professional female special care nurse immediately. Now!" ordered Raymond.

Soon after, Morgan brought over a professional female special care nurse, and Raymond instructed her, "I need to go out now. Take good care of her. If she wakes up or there is any other situation, call me immediately."

"Yes, Mr. Zavala."

After leaving the hospital, Raymond went to the police station to look into the car accident.

"Mr. Zavala, this is the surveillance video of the accident. Please take a look."

The surveillance video was quite clear. In the video, Bethany was nibbling on the bread while rushing along in a hurry. When Raymond saw her like this, his pupils contracted in pain.

He had thought that Bethany didn't take his treatment to heart at all, so she was two hours late. However, he had never thought that she was busy from the hospital and rushed over to him without having time to eat.

In the video, Bethany answered a call, which was the urging call Raymond had made to her. After hanging up, she was very anxious to run across the street corner. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred. Seeing this, Raymond suddenly held his breath and thought, "Did the accident happen right after I called to urge her? If it weren't for my constant urging, would this car accident have been avoided?" Seeing that Raymond was about to break down, the police officer immediately turned off the surveillance video.

"The driver who caused the accident has been arrested and brought to justice. The preliminary trial result is drunk driving."

The surveillance video clearly showed that the pedestrian's green light was counting down, but it was still a green light after all. The car accident happened because the driver was drunk driving and ran a red light.

"The victim was actually very lucky. The car that caused the accident hit a streetlight at the intersection beforehand, causing it to slow down to a certain point before hitting her. If it hit her directly, she might have been killed on the spot."

"Where is the driver who caused the accident? Let me see him!"

Raymond was so angry that he even wanted to eat the driver alive. He decided to make the driver spend his whole life in prison.

"The driver who caused the accident is currently in detention. Mr. Zavala, if you want to see him, I'm afraid you have to..."

Before the police officer could finish speaking, Raymond's phone rang. It was a call from the special care nurse. Raymond quickly answered it and asked, "Is Bethany awake?"

"No, Mr. Zavala. Ms. Caldwell is in danger again..."

Raymond's heart tightened instantly at that.

He immediately left everything behind and rushed back to the hospital.

"How is Bethany now?"

"She's having a high fever caused by the wound infection."

Raymond was stunned for a moment.

Bethany's face was still pale when he left. She was still breathing, but she looked as if she were dead. Now, however, her face was flushed with fever.

Her brows were furrowed with extreme discomfort, and her dry, cracked lips moved constantly, but she could not speak. Her features were contorted with pain, and she looked very uncomfortable. "Doctor, why would she suddenly suffer a wound infection?"

"This situation is common after surgery, and the strong effect of reducing fever injection can cause great damage to her body. It is not recommended to do so unless it is absolutely necessary." "Then what should we do?"

"Give her physical cooling first, and if it still doesn't work within three hours, we can only give her a strong anti-fever injection."

"I see..."

Then, Raymond told everyone to go out, and he carefully applied the alcohol to her body. Because of the wound infection, the doctor treated her injuries again. As a result, Raymond needed to be extra careful when applying the alcohol to her.

Perhaps it was the pain, or perhaps she had regained some consciousness and thought of something. Although she still kept her eyes tightly shut, the tears were continually streaming from them, and her body began to twitch slightly from the pain.

"Bethany, I know you're in pain. Just put up with it, please. It will soon be all right. I'm here, I'm here..."

Raymond didn't know if she could hear him, but he kept talking to her like this and even became somewhat rambling.

It distressed Raymond to see her feel so uncomfortable, and he even wished these pains to come upon him again.

"I'm sorry, Bethany. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have urged you...It's my fault. Please wake up..."

After applying the alcohol to her, Raymond felt her temperature again and again, fearing that the fever would not subside within three hours.

He could not even remember how many times during the three hours he had felt her temperature or applied the alcohol to her body. Raymond even thought he was in a dream when he saw that her temperature had returned to normal.

"Doctor, her fever has subsided!"

"That's great. During her coma, her life will be maintained with glucose and nutrition infusions, and she couldn't eat for 48 hours after waking up," said the doctor.

Hearing that, Raymond thought, "She may be in a coma for a long time, and she won't be able to eat anything for 48 hours after waking up, but she was already very hungry before the accident."

He felt very guilty at the thought and scolded himself in his heart, "Why did I have to urge her? If I was really so anxious, why didn't I send a car to pick her up?"

Raymond was now very guilty and tormented. Just at that moment, his phone rang again.
