Chapter 969: The human body is amusingly fragile.
The sound of the slow heartbeat from the monitor was equally soothing and dreadful in Dominic’s ears. Sitting beside the bed in the intensive care unit with complete hospital gear on, he kept his eyes on his wife. Different apparatus were injected into her to support her breathing and monitor her vitals.
Initially, he heard that she had jumped out of the car. But from what Moose said, he deduced she was probably thrown out because of how bad her fall was. Jumping out of the car was dangerous, but they said if she had done it on her own, she would’ve anticipated it and was able to reduce the damages.
But her injuries told them otherwise.
Heaven hit her head with something and because of that, she ended up in here. Amusingly enough, that was the only fatal injury she got. Just one major injury, and she’s threading in between life and death.
[You should be careful, Dom. The human body is amusingly fragile. One wrong step, and you’d end up dead.]
While looking at his wife, he couldn’t help but remember the advice his wife gave to him some time ago. It wasn’t like he didn’t believe his wife back then. But now, that advice felt more dreadful.
"The date..." he whispered, reaching for her hand and holding it gently. "You said we’ll go on a date after rescuing them so we can unwind and have a short break. Was that a lie?"
His eyes slowly fell on her hand, only to see some tubes injected into the back of her hand and a small device clipped on her finger. His jaw tightened, gulping the tension in his throat, lifting his eyes back to her.
"Moose said even if the surgery is a success, you might end up a vegetable," he continued under his breath. "I don’t believe him. I don’t want to — I can’t."
