NOVPUBChapter 1226: 549 Destiny (Second Update)_1 Chapter 1226: 549 Destiny (Second Update)_1 Keanu Ledger felt dizzy as he followed onto the vehicle, before eventually arriving at the hospital.
He had a sudden unsettling premonition deep within his heart.
It was not until he followed through into the Intensive Care Ward that he saw a doctor resuscitating a patient through the glass door.
The pale face belonged to none other than Anton Cook.
Keanu Ledger stood still, “Sullivan was fine during Chinese New Year, why did he suddenly get sick?”
Harvey Chambers replied solemnly, “He trusts you, which is why I brought you here to see him.
This must remain confidential.”
Keanu Ledger turned his head and recognized a familiar figure, “Ms.
Aubree?”
The young lady stared into the ward, her charming face as cold as snow.
...
Her hands unconsciously reached for the pendant around her neck, giving off a sense of melancholic detachment.
Keanu Ledger was growing frantic.
What on earth was happening?
Sullivan is so healthy that he could rival a bull; he can’t possibly be sick.
Could there have been an accident?
His intuition told him that it must have something to do with Aubree.
After a series of intense resuscitation attempts, Anton Cook’s vital signs finally stabilized.
Dr.
Aria emerged from the Intensive Care Ward with beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
Removing his mask, he patted Aubree on the shoulder, “It’s okay now.”
“Dr.
Aria,” Harvey Chambers approached.
“Mr.
Chambers is very concerned about Sullivan’s condition.
Can the surgery tomorrow proceed smoothly?”
After a moment’s hesitation, Peter Aria said, “After much deliberation, for the sake of caution, I’d like to ask Professor Green to co-operate in performing the surgery on Sullivan.
He is a world-renowned expert in heart surgery.”
It would be too much for him to handle the major operation alone without harboring any doubt.
Harvey Chambers was pleased, “Can you get Professor Green?”
Harvey Chambers had done much research in the past few days.
On the international stage, Peter Aria was indeed an outstanding talent in the field of cardiothoracic surgery.
He was certain to attribute Sullivan’s successful resuscitation to Dr.
Aria.
He was deeply grateful to the contributor.
Professor Green is a significant figure in international cardiology, yet he was mainly focused on his academic research these days and rarely performed surgeries.
Peter Aria said, “I have a good relationship with Professor Green.
I’ve spoke to him previously about this, and he’s willing to help.”
Harvey Chambers was elated, “Thank you, Dr.
Aria.
Please give me Professor Green’s address, and I will send a helicopter to bring him to Jimenez immediately.”
Peter Aria nodded, “Follow me.”
After Peter Aria and Harvey Chambers left, Keanu Ledger, listening in on their conversation, began to realize just how severe Sullivan’s condition was.
He stole a glance at Aubree, “Sullivan, he….”
“He took a bullet for me, which has damaged his heart,” Aubree replied tersely.
Keanu Ledger gasped in shock.
Sullivan was truly risking his life.
She turned her head toward Keanu Ledger, “Mr.
Ledger, you don’t want Sullivan to die either, do you?”
Keanu Ledger nodded blankly, “Of course not.”
Aubree smiled gently, her eyes soft as water, “I don’t want him to die either.”
——
That night, the moonlight gently showered the earth.
The ICU ward was so quiet that only the beeping of the monitor could be heard.
A slender figure walked in the hallway of the ward as quietly as a ghost.
The door opened, and Aubree walked in.
She reached the bedside and looked down at the unconscious young man.
Just a few days before in the May Forest, the young man was lively and vigorous.
In the icy cold, he was like a blazing fire.
His eyes were always bright, as if he had inexhaustible passion and energy.
Now, he was like a fragile wisp, with the flame of death dangling above his head anytime and anywhere.
If it ignites, there will be no coming back.
“You have repaid her debt.
But what about what I owe you?
The world is bound by karma, constantly reincarnating, it is a predestined fate.”
Aubree took out a piece of Gaharu incense, lit it, and placed it at the bedside.
She then bowed down and removed the respirator mask from Anton’s face.
Under the moonlight, the young man’s face was pale, his eyes quiet, as if lost in a beautiful dream.
Her slender fingers brushed the young man’s pale brow, smoothing the hint of worried wrinkles.
She took off the jade around her neck and slowly caressed it.
In the darkness, the jade casted a faint light.
Aubree took Anton’s mouth open and placed the jade under his tongue.
“As a disciple of Buddhism, I wish to transfer all my good deeds to him, praying for his safety, free him from diseases and disasters, and remove all the worries and distresses.”
