Chapter 81 Get Out of My Sight
Early in the morning, Lainey brought the kitchen maids out to buy vegetables. She bought the freshest ingredients for the dinner tonight.
It was said that the ingredients were served to Michelin. And then, here came Colin's call.
"Sir, madam, we have a major situation!"
Dayton ran away first. William and Jane entered the hall one after another and saw Lainey come out of the back door in a panic.
"What happened?"
Jane felt a little wired. The three of them had just returned from a trip, and there was something wrong?
"Say. What happened?"
Slightly trembling, William said and clenched his fists, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.
What Lainey was going to say was very likely related to Colin.
"We were preparing dinner in the kitchen. And Master Duncan went to the hot spring alone without ant accompany."
Colin liked to drink tea and listen to operas when soaking in a hot spring bath. Sometimes, he would like to follow the opera to sing something when he got in the mood.
However, he was not good at singing and felt embarrassed to sing in front of others, exclaiming that it was not good for his iron image.
One should not soak in a hot spring bath for too long. Thus, Todd, the driver, went inside and found that Colin had fallen on the steps and was unconscious. "How is Grandpa now?"
Jane threw the bag onto the sofa. Colin was unconscious and they needed to call an ambulance to save him!
Colin was not young any longer. When Jane was kidnapped then, Colin was so anxious that he once tumbled and sat in a wheelchair for a month.
This coma must have been even more serious.
"Madam, I called Doctor Wilson just now. He heard the situation and told us not to move Master Duncan slightly."
The Duncan's mansion had all kinds of medical equipment, and Colin could get effective treatment at home even when he rarely went to the hospital.
Colin's coma might indicate bleeding from the head.
Therefore, moving him to the hospital might worsen the situation.
"Doctor Wilson doesn't live far. He's on his way here."
Lainey was very worried. It was rare for both William and Jane to be at home. Colin had made careful preparations and planned to leave them alone this night. But it was a pity that it did not come true. "Mommy, what's wrong with great-grandpa?"
Dayton took a photo album and wanted to share it with his great grandfather. He knocked on the door of the room upstairs, but no one was there. "Grandpa is sick."
Jane touched Dayton's head, feeling sad. Who would know that such an unexpected change would happen just in a few hours when they were out? The hot spring at home was surrounded by cobblestones as the antiskid design. But if there was water, the effect would not be very good.
Doctor Wilson rushed over as fast as he could and examined Colin. After coming out, he frowned.
"Mr. William, Master Duncan fell down and hurt his head. CT scans show that there is blood in his brain and that it is pressing down on his nerves."
From the film, the area of bleeding wasn't small, so Colin hadn't woken up yet.
The best way to treat a small area of brainstem hemorrhage was to operate. But considering Colin's current state, it was impossible to have an operation on him. So, Doctor Wilson could only treat it conservatively.
However, conservative treatment had many drawbacks.
Because the injury was in the brain, one of the most vulnerable parts of the body, the disease may worsen.
"The possibility of deteriorating... what does that mean?"
Jane's legs were shaking.
She didn't remember that the book had such a plot. In that book, it was because Colin couldn't bear the female lead's death that he finally passed away.
Now that Jane had become the female lead, the plot did not develop as the book had written.
How could Colin still be unconscious!
In her previous life, Jane longed for the love of families the most. And thanks to God, she got it here. She cherished it and didn't want to lose it so quickly.
Although Colin sometimes was serious and stubborn, he was extremely good to her. And he was the best grandfather to her.
Jane turned around and couldn't help but cry.
If Colin woke up and saw her crying, he would definitely be angry.
"Janie, since you have married into the Duncan, you are the daughter-in-law of the Duncan and my granddaughter. Tell me who has made you feel so bad. I will teach him a lesson!"
Jane closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with Colin's care for her which made her feel even more sorrowful.
In a word, brainstem hemorrhage was very dangerous. Once it caused a massive hemorrhage, it would cause brain death.
Once one was in that situation, there was no remedy anymore.
"How long will the critical period be?"
William leaned against the wall and smoked.
He had just called Frederic and told him that he had urgent matters to deal with and Frederic could handle the business in the company on his behalf for the next few days. Colin was the priority. William would not waste his time on anything until Colin woke up.
"About 72 hours. During this period, there should always be someone to take care of him."
Colin has two personal doctors. Doctor Wilson intended to contact the other. The two of them would take the place of Colin in turn.
Now, the patient needed a quiet environment to rest.
"Mr. William, please stay with Colin Duncan. Although he doesn't say anything, he still hopes that you can come back more frequently and have a chat with each other."
Lainey felt worried. The Duncans were all depressed now.
"I know," William answered.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening after everyone had settled down.
William sat on the sofa, with his hands holding his head, and fell into a long silence.
Lainey stood at the side and tried to say something, without knowing what to say.
"Lainey, you should go to bed now. There may be more things waiting for you to deal with tomorrow."
Jane said weakly, "If grandpa wakes up and can't eat greasy soup, you will be busy then because we can't be compared with you when it comes to stew."
"Madam, what about Mr. William..."
Lainey looked at William. It had been a long time since she had seen William so tired.
The Duncan was proud and glorious, but who knew the darkness behind the success?
William's father was different from the other Duncans. He didn't like to do business and was only interested in drawing. He walked away with the drawing board on his back. And they did not know where he was today.
William's mother had no feelings for her husband. After giving birth to her son, she left a letter and never came back.
The couple didn't get divorced, but they lived their own lives and called each other or so every one and a half years.
The families only knew that they two were still alive. And that was all.
It should not be William's fault to be indifferent when he grew up in such a family environment.
Lainey sighed. Now, even though Colin had got into a coma, she couldn't call through to either of them.
"I'm here."
Jane went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of hot noodles soup.
William didn't even give a glance and continued to immerse himself in his own world.
"Eat."
Jane gathered her courage and patted William.
William had gastropathy. Seeing that he wanted to stay up late, he needed to eat something, or else the stomachache would torture him to be covered by sweat at midnight.
During this period, Jane had been subtly nourishing his stomach, and she would not let her efforts be destroyed.
"Get out of my sight."
William lowered his head and didn't glance at Jane. He needed to calm down now. His mind had gone completely blank.
Normally, he would restrain himself to suppress the paranoia in his bones. No one knew about this.
"Alright, as you wish."
Jane stood up to pack her things and went upstairs to rest.
She was not a doctor and could not do anything for Colin now. She could only pray that he would wake up soon.
Without considering her personal security, Jane stayed at the Duncan's for her grandfather and Dayton. The care of the elder and cute Dayton made her life more colorful.
In her previous life, she had always been single and hadn't thought about having a baby. However, now being Dayton's mother, Jane realized how wonderful and fulling her life could be.0000
