Chapter 563 Critical



Day Sixty-Three...

~~*****~~

Jane brought Abigail to the hospital where Cherry rushed Dave. Abigail's heart was pounding so hard. She was scared and anxious. Was Dave okay? She kept on praying for his safety.

Fifteen minutes later, they finally reached the hospital. They immediately searched for Cherry and Dave. They saw Cherry outside the operating room. Her clothes were bloody because of Dave.

Abigail could only gasp in fear. There was too much blood. "W-Where's Dave? W-What happened to him?" Abigail asked Cherry in her trembling voice.

Cherry gave her an apologetic look and said, "He is still in the operating room. He was shot twice. He lost so much blood. He needs more blood transfusions. The nurse is getting more blood supplies."

"The doctor said... he is in critical condition." Cherry gazed down.

Abigail felt like her legs were going to give in when she heard that. Jane had to hold her body for support.

"Cherry, please look after my sister. Don't leave her side. I will just call Stephen. He might be able to help us to get a blood supply for Dave."

After saying that, Jane dialed Stephen's number. They were supposed to have a hypnosis session today. But given the situation, Jane couldn't leave Abigail today.

"Jane? Where are you?" Stephen's voice was heard from the other line.

"Stephen. I need your help." Jane went direct to the point.

"Okay. Just tell me anything." Stephen was so willing to help her with everything he could.

Abigail didn't know what to say. She just listened to Jane, wanting to know the truth.

"You have to listen to these recordings." Jane started to play the recorder, letting Abigail hear the confession of Tom and Karina.

After a few minutes, Abigail's heart was filled with rage. She couldn't believe that Helena would do this to her. She finally learned Helena's true nature. She was a traitor. Not her friend.

"I hate her. I won't forgive her!" Abigail mumbled through her gritted teeth. She folded her fingers into tight fists. She felt betrayed by a friend whom she treated like her sister.

"Don't worry, sis. You have me. I got your back. We will make Helena pay. So don't give up. Don't let go of Dave. He is faithful to you. He must know that he didn't commit a bad thing. He is a victim here." Jane stroked Abigail's hair.

"Sis... I'm afraid... what if Dave wouldn't make it? I can't lose him. I dreamed of him, saying goodbye to me. Sis... please tell me that Dave will survive this." Abigail felt so helpless and desperate.

Jane took a deep sigh. "Don't worry, Sis. Everything will be fine."

Jane wasn't certain if Dave would survive this. But he had to. He couldn't die like this.

The surgery was still ongoing. It did not take long before Stephen arrived, along with blood supplies. Stephen stayed by their sides, waiting for Dave's surgery to finish.

After two hours of waiting, the doctor came out of the operating room. He looked very exhausted. Abigail, Jane, and Stephen approached the surgeon, asking about Dave's condition.

"How is he, Doc?" Abigail asked the doctor expectantly.

The doctor sighed deeply. "We managed to remove the bullets. It hit his major artery. He also went into shock during the operation. I will be honest with you. He didn't pass the critical stage. We need to put him in the ICU and continue to monitor his condition. But be ready for what will happen next..."

Abigail felt like her world crumbled before her eyes. Dave was still in critical condition. This couldn't be. Before she knew it, Abigail's vision became blurry and she fainted!

"Abi!"
