Chapter 272 No Heartbeat

It was late at night, and Aylin was just about to rest after being busy with work all day.

All of a sudden, she received a call from Lloyd.

"What's up? It's already so late."

Aylin was puzzled by Lloyd's call at this time, but she didn't expect Lloyd's voice to be anxious and in grief. "M-Mr. Delacruz is seriously injured, and his life is at stake. I dare not tell Old Mr. Delacruz about this. Can you come over?"

"That's impossible."

Aylin just interrupted him calmly. "I know his skills, and there aren't many people in New York that can fight him."

"It's true!" Lloyd almost jumped because of how anxious he was. "Mr. Delacruz drank some alcohol today! I can take some pictures for you if you don't believe me!"

Soon, Lloyd sent her a photo.

The handsome man in the photo had his eyes tightly shut. His lips were pale due to the excessive bleeding, and most terrifyingly, his entire abdomen was almost stained with blood under his slightly open jacket.

How is he injured so badly?

"Ms. Koch, please come over and take a look!" Lloyd almost cried out. "Mr. Delacruz is really in bad condition now, even his heart is about to stop beating..." "Give me the address!"

When Aylin heard this, her heart suddenly tightened before she picked up jacket and went downstairs. "Send it to me now. I'll come over!"

her

This wasn't the care that she would show a mere business partner since her heart was almost in her throat when she heard the terrifying condition Gavyn was in.

Without even tidying her hair, Aylin sped all the way to the private hospital that Lloyd mentioned, and even the two minutes in the elevator were extremely torturous to her. Please be all right!

With such a prayer in mind, Aylin ran into Ward 406, panting.

"Ms. Koch, you're here!"

The first thing Aylin saw when she entered the room was the man on the bed, the man who had always been spirited. At this moment, he was lying quietly with gauze wrapped around his head, and his abdomen had been briefly bandaged as well, but the large patch of crimson red that was dyed on his

white shirt was extremely eye-catching.

The reading of the electrocardiogram that was attached to his body was unstable, and his breathing and heartbeat were very weak as if he might stop breathing at any time. "What's going on? Who did this to him?"

Gavyn was skillful even compared to the others, and even Aylin might not be able to defeat him at times. Someone can even hurt him in New York? Just who...

An extremely bad premonition inexplicably rose within Aylin's heart, but Aylin didn't have enough time to think about it since the arrival of the doctor interrupted her thoughts. "Where's the family member of the patient?"

"I..." Aylin turned her head subconsciously.

However, after a pause, she realized that she and Gavyn had already divorced.

Lloyd hurriedly added, "I'm his subordinate, and this lady is... Someone very close to him, so she has the authority to sign for him. You can just let us know what's going on.

Aylin frowned when she heard that, but it was an emergency, so she didn't care much.

"Doctor, please ask if you have any questions."

"Does the patient have any existing illnesses? Usually..."

Aylin was familiar with this process, and she was anxious as well, so before the doctor could finish speaking, she immediately said, "He has chronic superficial gastritis, and he usually has a slight allergic reaction to cephalosporin. He also often takes aluminum magnates and omeprazole."

During the three years of marriage, she had been taking care of Gavyn well, so - she knew all about his physical condition like it was the back of her hand.

Even the doctor was stunned.

Usually, the family members of the patient would either cry or would be at a loss, so it was the first time he had seen someone so calm.

"What else do you know? Do let me know altogether. By the way, you're his subordinate, right? You need to go through the procedures for him." The doctor didn't even raise his head as he hurriedly jotted down something, so

Lloyd just left after receiving the order.

"His blood type is AB, so you can have someone transfer the blood now, and that's it."

After that, Aylin frowned and glanced at Gavyn. She couldn't help but put her finger on his wrist when she saw that pale face of his.

She was just doing what a doctor would do, but she didn't expect to stop when she touched his wrist.

"Wait!"

Aylin then hurriedly called out to the doctor. "He has blood stasis, and his pulse is weak... There seems to be an old injury on his head, and I think it was caused by a strong collision. I don't know if there are any more injuries on him, so please remember to take an X-ray."

Hearing that, the doctor turned around and was shocked to see what she just did.

"Miss, you know how to check someone's pulse?" It was amazing to him since Aylin could instantly know Gavyn's old trauma just by checking his pulse.

Is this for real?

Aylin just frowned lightly. "I'm not that great."

"Not that great? I'm afraid that none of the traditional medicine practitioners in our hospital can do this."

The doctor then shook his head and sighed. There would always be someone better out there. He didn't expect this well-dressed young girl, who seemed to not have any medical skills, to know how to check a pulse rate.

"Who is your teacher?"

The doctor couldn't help but ask, but Aylin didn't have time to talk to him. She frowned and recalled the pulse she had just taken as she thought of something unusual.

Why is this pulse rate so familiar?

It was as if she had seen them somewhere before.

'Miss?"

Seeing that she was in a trance, the doctor said again, "It's okay if you don't tell me. Please, sign here."

After that, Aylin returned to her senses and signed her name. She then held Gavyn's wrist again, pondering for a moment, and it didn't look like she was planning to let go any time soon. However, just as she was about to withdraw her hand, a force grabbed her slender and fair wrist.

He's awake?

Aylin suddenly lowered her head.

However, she noticed that Gavyn was still in a daze and didn't show any signs of waking up, but his hand was strong, and Aylin couldn't retract her hand for a moment.

"The patient is now unconscious, and it's likely that he'll make some subconscious moves. This means that he's dependent on his family, and it's normal."

The doctor was not surprised as he smiled and explained, "If you want, you can stay back to accompany the patient."

However, the doctor didn't know that she used to be Gavyn's family.

Aylin suddenly felt ripples forming in her heart, as if a stone was dropped into the non-existing lake in her. She just lowered her eyes slightly, and the emotion in her eyes was incomprehensible. "I'm not his family..." She pursed her lips and pulled Gavyn's hand away from her before continuing, "So I won't disturb the doctors here."

As for Lloyd, he saw this scene when he came back and was so worried.

Oh, how I just want to glue their hands together so that they will stick forever! Why did she pull his hand away?

He just stared at Aylin, hoping that she would be soft-hearted and decide to stay. He knew Gavyn would be extremely happy if he woke up to replace Aylin beside him.

The doctor continued to treat Gavyn, and Aylin went to the corridor, so Lloyd had no choice but to follow her.

"How did he get hurt?"

Aylin got straight to the point, and her cold eyes were solemn.

Lloyd said solemnly, "I don't know. Mr. Delacruz left on his own after work today, and he was already unconscious by the time I got the news and rushed over."

"Is that so..."

It would take a long time if the police were to investigate the case through official channels.

Looks like I'll have to use my hacking skills for this.

Thinking that, Aylin had a plan in mind. She clutched her phone and turned to leave. "I'll be leaving first," and Lloyd was scared out of his wits by her words when she said that. Why is she leaving so soon?

"M-Ms. Koch, wait!"
