Chapter 140

If there was nothing urgent, Doctor Lynch would not b e reacting this way.

"Come down first.” Mason hung up the phone after he said that

I could sense that something was wrong. I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs without hesitation.

Downstairs, Mason was pacing back and forth in front of his car. When he saw me coming out, hecame over t o give me a hand and said, "Walk slowly, you're pregnant."

"What happened?" I saw the anxiety and fear in the bottom of his eyes. I could not be botheredabout anything else and asked him.

He helped me get into the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt for me. Then, he said, "Theogot into a car accident. He's in the hospital now."

My heart skipped a beat, and my energy started to drain.

"How is he?" I was startled for a moment, then I mustered the courage to ask him.

“I have no idea. After I heard the news, I came to pick you up." Mason looked serious, and he wasspeeding o n the road.

I could not help but hold onto the grab handle tightly. How did he get into an accident in broaddaylight? Theo's driving skills had always been good.

Soon, we reached the hospital. We rushed to the entrance of the emergency room in a hurry. Zeddwas standing there, looking anxious.

My legs felt like jelly. They were not working.

"How is he?" Mason came forward to ask.

"Not sure. He lost a lot of blood." Zedd kept staring at the sign above the emergency room. Hesounded panicked.

Mason furrowed his brows and recovered his usual calmness. He asked in a deep voice, "Wheredid the accident happen?"

Zedd did not say anything. He shot me a glance, his pupils shifting about. Then, he looked at theother side of the corridor.

That was when I realized that Cindy was squatting on the floor far away. She was clutching herhead and weeping silently. Her hair was messy, and there were several cuts on her hands and legs.

I did not have to think about it to figure out that Theo was with her when he got into an accident.

The door to the emergency room was opened. The doctor asked loudly, "Who's the patient'sfamily?"

A moment ago, Cindy was still squatting there weakly.

At this moment, she dashed forward, grabbed the doctor's hand, and asked anxiously, "Theowy! IsTheowy alright?"

Mason came forward and asked, "How’s the patient?"

"He's in a coma, but his life is not in danger. Fortunately, he’s just suffering from minor injuries andthey're not fatal. However, his abdomen was pierced deeply by the railings along the highway. Heneeds surgery. We need his family to sign the consent form. Who's the patient's family member?"The doctor swept his eyes across our faces.

"I am. Let me sign it." Before I could speak, Cindy snatched the consent form from the doctor.

"How are you related to the patient?" The doctor was being responsible. He took back the consentform from her and asked for her identity.

Cindy bit her lip and did not say anything.

"Cindy, stop messing around. Wanda needs to sign this so that it’s valid." Mason frowned. Hesounded unhappy.

The doctor shot Cindy a glance and said in a deep voice, "Performing surgery is a serious matter.This is not something to joke about. Only the next of kin are allowed to sign this. Where is thepatient's family?"

Cindy threw herself in front of me, but Mason pulled m e in front of the doctor. "She’s the patient'swife."

The doctor looked at me suspiciously. I picked up the pen and said calmly, "I'm his legal wife and Ihave our marriage certificate."

Soon, I finished signing the form. I asked the doctor, "I s there anything else I have to sign?" Thedoctor shook his head.

Cindy's eyes were red. She looked like she wanted to eat me up.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Don’t stare at me. I didn't want to sign that either but the law doesn’tpermit it. Since you want to be his family so much, then I’ll let you take care of him."

Since the doctor had said that it was not too serious, there was no point in me staying here.

The doctor looked at us skeptically and said to me," Although it's a small surgery, it’s important forhim to be taken care of tonight. Since you're the patient's wife, please register for the hospitaladmission later. You'll have to stay here to look after him tonight."

"Is there any risk of death?" I looked up at the doctor.

The doctor was stunned for a moment, while the others were looking at me with terrified faces.

It took him a while to speak. "That's not going to happen. He's just suffering from some minorinjuries. He only needs someone to take care of him."

"That’s fine, then. Since someone here wishes so badly to take care of him, I can't be bothered toargue." Then, I turned around and walked to the front desk to

handle Theo’s admission procedures.

When I walked back, Mason was not there anymore. H e was probably in the operation room. Ihanded Zedd the documents I was holding, turned around, and was ready to leave.
