Chapter 178 - Ren Was Devastated

Ren suddenly felt his heart pounding for no reason. He almost stopped mid-sentence. The prince was delivering his speech to the guests present and thanked them for coming.

The note in his hand still contained the names of important people and institutions he had to mention and acknowledge for their contributions to Moravia in 2061...

But it seemed he could no longer read. His face turned pale, and he raised his hand.

"Thank you again. I apologize, I can't stay with you all until the end of the event ..." He looked around the hall and forced a smile. "Enjoy the royal gala and all the performances. Happy new year in advance!"

He bowed slightly and then walked down from the stage, followed by roaring applause from the audience. Ren walked up to King Gustav and Queen Elena and whispered something to them and hugged them alternately.

He told them that he was having a severe headache. Since it had been bothering him from time to time, the king and queen nodded in understanding when he asked their permission to go home and rest.

Queen Elena rubbed his head and nodded with a soothing smile.

"You go rest. Your health is more important," said the elegant old lady.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ren hugged his grandmother once more, then took his coat and hurried out of the hall. 

Mischa, who saw the incident, tried to chase him, but again the palace guards blocked his way.

"Sir, you are a guest here, I beg you to respect the palace regulations," said the guard with a stern expression. 

"I want to talk to Prince Renald. He took my assistant away .." said Mischa.

"His highness Prince Renald is sick and wants to rest. Please don't disturb him. Your assistant must be at the clinic, being treated by the court physician and you can see her later."

"Ugh ..." Mischa clenched his fists as he stared at the exit. Ren just disappeared behind the massive wooden doors.

Hmm .. earlier, he saw Ren ordering a woman to call a doctor, and that woman immediately followed him out of the hall when Ren carried Fae. Surely that woman knew where Fae was now.

Mischa decided to look for Amelia.

***

Ren walked with brisk steps across the palace hallway to the pavilion. He felt an uncomfortable feeling in his chest, and his heart was beating so fast. He opened the pavilion door and walked in with long strides.

"Your Highness ..." 

He saw Doctor Lehmann on his knees with a despaired face and blood on his hands, while beside him lay a beautiful woman with her stomach covered in blood.

"Fae!!!" Ren felt his heart stopped beating the moment he saw Fae covered in blood like that. He immediately ran towards the girl, pushed Doctor Henry aside, and then knelt down to check on Fae's condition. His face turned ashen and filled with panic. "Fae .. wake up, Fae ... Fae!!"

He then turned to Doctor Lehmann and looked at him with blazing eyes.

"WHO DID THIS?!!!" he shouted in a thunderous voice.

"Lady ... Lady Amelia ..." said Doctor Lehmann, trembling. "She ... she was raving and shot Madame twice, then went outside."

Instantly Ren's face was filled with rage that could not be described by words. His brown eyes were filled with a murderous aura. The man about to get up and chase after Amelia, but Doctor Lehmann held his hand.

"Sir .. Madame's safety must become our priority. I already called the hospital, but they still need time to get here ..." said Doctor Henry pleadingly. "We'd better go to the hospital now ... Madame is in critical condition."

At that moment, as if he was poured over by ice-cold water, the rage on Ren's face disappeared, replaced by panic and deep sadness. He hugged Fae and kissed her hair. He didn't dare to look at Fae's stomach, which was covered in blood. His head was throbbing and he couldn't think straight.

If Doctor Lehmann wasn't there ... maybe he would go crazy or stood still like a fool, unable to do anything. Even though he was a genius who could always think quickly and accurately, this time, his brain refused to function.

Now, he really felt helpless.

Oh, God ... please save Fae and our child, ... Ren begged inwardly.

With trembling hands, he picked up his cell phone and called John. "Prepare the car next to the east wing pavilion. We have to go to the hospital now. FAST!"

He didn't listen to John's reply, immediately slammed his cellphone on the floor and hurriedly checked Fae's condition. For the first time, he finally dared to touch Fae's stomach which was covered in blood. When his fingers touched the blood, suddenly his chest felt as if it had been hit by a very large and heavy sledgehammer, mercilessly.

Unknowingly, tears streamed down his cheeks. With an expression of despair, he turned to Doctor Lehmann, who seemed to clench his hands together in prayer.

"How is her condition, Doctor .. You have already checked her, right? Can she be saved?"

Doctor Henry never promised that his patients would survive because no matter how good a doctor was, they could not guarantee that the patient they were treating would be cured. They had no such power.

If they promised that the patient would survive, but then the patient ended up dead, the family would blame the doctor and accuse him of lying. That was why the average doctors would only reassure the patient's family by telling them that they would do their best.

But this time, Doctor Lehmann didn't dare to say that. The man in front of him was very frightening and powerful, and right now, his mind was in a mess. Doctor Lehmann was afraid that if he did not promise Fae could be saved, he wouldn't live to see tomorrow.

That's why he nodded hastily and tried to smile to calm Ren down. "Madame is fine ... she fainted from shock. Her blood pressure just now is quite good and her heart rate was normal too ..." 

It worked!

His words just now managed to bring some color back to Ren's pale face. The man nodded repeatedly in understanding. He hugged Fae and kissed her forehead. Tears still rolled down his cheeks.

He was scared to death that Fae and his child would not survive. But Doctor Lehmann's words just now made him feel a little better.

There were car lights flashing outside the window, indicating that John had arrived with the car. Ren immediately got up and carried Fae with both arms and walked out. Doctor Lehmann hurriedly walked after him with his medical bag and opened the door for Ren.

Some of the staff who saw Ren carrying a woman covered in blood, immediately came over to the prince, but he drove them away.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" he snapped.

They all immediately shrugged in fear and retreated. John looked very surprised to see Ren carrying Fae who was injured but he did not say anything. The man immediately opened the car door and helped Ren put Fae's body into the back seat of the car.

Ren sat beside Fae and hugged her head while Doctor Henry sat beside the driver. John quickly called the escort patrol and asked them to open the way for the prince's entourage going to the hospital.

Seven minutes later, they almost reached the hospital gate.
