Chapter 289: Stable
Meanwhile, inside the operation theatre -5, Dion was profusely sweating while he was intently indulging in Cali’s operation. He was extremely focussed, being meticulous with his every single movement. Cali was his second for such a case, and she was not only a patient but also his and Rizie’s good friend. He still knew she was hanging in there, if she lasted this surgery, she would survive for sure.
"Doc, her vitals are dropping," Dion heard the nurse say. He looked at the monitor and mumbled, "Cali... Hang in there please. Keep fighting..."
He continued with what he was doing, hoping that Cali could live with his help... He only needed to stay focused and apply everything he learned from his sister and everything would be fine.
Afterhours, Dion sighed as he started stitching the innermost layer and asked his surgical tech for the count and when he received the satisfactory answer he wrapped up everything. He was too exhausted... He relayed the result to Mr. Lua and quickly went to his sister as soon as he found out what happened with her.
"How is she?" he asked his mother who was there in the private room where his sister was admitted.
"She’s stable now. The doctor said that we have to make sure she has someone around with her as soon as she wakes up. She handled everything very bravely but the pressure she kept within affected the baby in her womb..." his mother relayed with a heavy sigh.
As Liz expected, Yera was pregnant, three weeks to be exact, but she sufferred a miscarriage probably because of the extreme psychological pressure on her. Yera was still unconscious at that moment. "How is Xander?" Liz asked Dion.
""He is still being monitored at the recovery room and would be transferred to the ICU as soon as the effects of anesthesia starts to wade off..." Dion murmured. He too let out a frustrated sigh. His brother-in-law was saved but another life that he had been waiting for eagerly was taken away.
"What matters now is that my dear sister is stable... and bro Xander too." he muttered. Truly it was a very sad thing to happen, but the couple could always have another baby after they surpass this.
