Chapter 424 Successful Surgery

Natalia listened in a daze, and her face was completely expressionless.

It was only when the doctor was almost finished examining that she suddenly asked, "Doctor, how old did you just say he was?"

The doctor said, "Four and a half weeks."

Natalia thought for a moment, "Four and a half weeks, that's just over a month. So he won't be born for another eight months or so, right?"

Hearing what she said, the doctor suddenly smiled, "Yes, what? You can't wait that long to see the baby?"

After a pause, she added, "But don't be in a hurry. You'll have to take your time. It's no use rushing."

The tears in the corners of Natalia's eyes slipped silently. She curled her lips with difficulty, "Okay, I understand."

After the ultrasound, the doctor handed her the result sheet and said, "I'll prescribe you some pills. Remember to take them on time. Also, you should take pregnancy tests regularly in the future. This is not something to be sloppy about. Heaven rewards the good. Mr. McCarthy is going to wake up. You don't have to worry too much about him."

Seeing that Natalia looked downcast, she sighed and added, "Even if something does happen, at least you have a baby now. Even for the sake of the baby, you have to be strong, you know?"

Natalia bowed her head, barely curled her lips, and nodded, "I know. Thanks, doctor."

With that, she left.

She took the pregnancy test back to the third floor, and Archie still hadn't come out yet.

By this time, Brian had also arrived.

Brian had actually been at Othua for the past two days, but he was taking care of other things and was not with Archie.

When he got the news that Archie had been injured, he was shocked and immediately rushed over here.

At that moment, seeing that the light above the operating room was still on, he asked, "How is Mr. McCarthy?"

Someone else explained to him, "He's not out yet."

Brian frowned with worry.

He turned his head and saw Natalia, and although he was worried, he went over to her and said, "Mrs. McCarthy, don't worry too much. Mr. McCarthy is going to turn ill luck into good."

Natalia nodded.

Brian's eyes were sharp and he caught a glimpse of the pregnancy test in her hand.

At once, he shuddered hard.

Mrs. McCarthy was pregnant?

Sometimes life was so dramatic. Just as Archie was injured, Natalia became pregnant.

He said, "Mrs. McCarthy, you have to take it easy for the sake of the baby. If you're tired, go and rest for a while. If Mr. McCarthy wakes up, I'll come and let you know right away."

Natalia shook her head.

"No, I want to wait here for him myself."

She used to be able to be strong, no matter what came her way.

But now she couldn't be strong when she looked at the red light that was on above the operating room. She was in a mess and didn't know what to do.

She was so scared. She couldn't imagine what she would do if Archie really didn't wake up.

She was the one who had made him this way. If it wasn't for her, none of this would have happened today.

If something did happen to him, how would she survive and face the rest of her life?

Looking at her in silence, Brian knew he couldn't persuade her any further and stopped talking.

It was a long time before Natalia suddenly spoke up, "Brian, I'm fine. You can go now."

Brian froze and immediately said solemnly, "I'm not leaving. How can I leave? I'm staying here to protect you!"

Natalia shook her head, "I don't need protection. You go help Ricky."

Hearing what she said, Brian was stunned and obviously a little surprised.

Natalia continued, "I want to know why that murderer did it. Was she lying to me all those years when she was so close to me? Was it all a setup?" Brian shuddered hard and whispered, "You mean... you knew the killer?"

Natalia nodded.

She sat there for a long time before she said, "You go and help him replace that person. When you replace her, do let me see her. I want to ask her face to face." Brian looked at her, still hesitating a little.

Natalia added, "There's nothing you can do to ease my guilt by staying here with me. If you really want to help me, catch the killer sooner, and then I'll be grateful to you." Brian shuddered slightly and pondered for a moment before nodding.

"I understand, Mrs. McCarthy. Don't worry. Even if you don't say so, we'll do our best to replace the killer for Mr. McCarthy's sake."

Natalia nodded.

Brian then turned and left.

Natalia didn't say anything else. Just then, the light above the operating room went out.

Everyone was in a state of shock and rushed over.

"Doctor, how is he?"

The doctor in the white coat removed the mask from his face, took the towel handed to him by the nurse and wiped his sweat, then said, "Congratulations, he's survived. Once the wound is cleared, he can be moved to the ward."

His words undoubtedly relieved everyone's worries instantly.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Natalia was holding strong and now she could no longer support herself and collapsed.

"Natalia!"

"Natalia!"

The people next to her rushed to help her, while Natalia waved her hand, "I'm fine. Just help me over and sit down for a while."

Everyone knew she was pregnant now. She had been holding herself together to wait here before. Now that she knew Archie was safe, naturally, she needed to rest.

They hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a room and help her to rest first.

And then, on the other side.

On the ring road.

The woman in the black leotard stood on the rooftop and sneered as she stared at the continuous lights below her.

Twenty minutes ago, she had attempted to leave but found that all of the city's major traffic points had all been made into barriers. Everyone was searching for her whereabouts. Moreover, her name was now on the wanted list, making her a wanted criminal.

As soon as she showed up now, she would be caught immediately.

Thinking of this, she laughed silently and looked slightly mocking.

He was worthy of the man Archie had befriended, and they were both ruthless in their ways.

She was reminded of that night, many years ago, when she had tried desperately to leave Ambario and the men had stopped her in the same way.

They had blocked all the major traffic points throughout Eqitin, intercepted the flight she was on, and kidnapped her back.

That night, she experienced the most incredible and painful thing in the world.

She watched as her father jumped from a tall building as high as she was standing at the moment.

She struggled desperately, screamed, and tried to grab her father's clothes, but she couldn't move.

The men were like demons and grabbed her fiercely.

They watched as a living man jumped from that height and did nothing!
