“No! I value my grandson’s life more than you do!”
Ettin Tuchman chose to believe his mother, “Miss Thompson, please arrange surgery for the child!”
“Are you sure?” Viola Thompson frowned slightly.
Ettin nodded.
Dr. Janell continued: “Then sign a pre-operative consent form and a waiver. If the child has a stomach reflux due to you feeding him secretly, Miss Thompson and the hospital will not be held responsible.”
Ettin looked at Cheryl Forrest.
Cheryl was a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Tuchman said, “Just sign it.”
After speaking, she comforted Ettin and Cheryl, “Don’t worry, I told you I didn’t feed him.”
She had been issued critical condition notices by the hospital before, and more than once, but so far, she was still alive and well.
After signing the waiver and consent form, Dr. Janell also arranged for a video recording as evidence since it involved a life at stake.
Since the family insisted and were willing to sign the consent form and waiver, Viola could only arrange surgery for Knight Tuchman.
Maybe she really guessed wrong.
Otherwise, the Tuchman family wouldn’t have taken such a big risk.
The operating room lights came back on.
Various tasks were being carried out methodically.
After the anesthesiologist administered the anesthesia, Knight Tuchman fell into a deep sleep.
But during one-third of the surgery, Knight’s condition changed suddenly his heart rate dropped rapidly, his face turned pale, and he vomited undigested food.
Viola Thompson’s face changed, and all the medical staff became nervous at this moment.
This was stomach reflux.
Her fears had come true.
It seemed Mrs. Tuchman had lied. Viola Thompson was the first to react.
“Inject adrenaline.”
“Defibrillator!”
“Issue a critical condition notice to the patient’s family!”
The three people waiting outside were very anxious.
At this moment, the nurse pushed the door open, “Where is the family of the patient Knight Tuchman?”
“We are!” Cheryl and Ettin immediately ran over.
The nurse handed the critical condition notice to Ettin, “Who fed the child? The child had stomach reflux during surgery, and now the situation is not optimistic. One of the family members should sign here.”
Upon hearing this, Ettin’s hands began to tremble. He looked up and asked, it serious?”
The nurse nodded, “Please sign first.”
Cheryl looked at her mother-in-law and asked, “Mom, did you feed the baby?”
At this point, Mrs. Tuchman still insisted, “No, Knight will be fine. Don’t listen to their nonsense!”
The nurse was speechless. Even after a critical condition notice was issued, the grandmother still had this attitude.
This was too ignorant.
“l don’t know who exactly fed your child, but now his condition is very poor.
You should be prepared mentally!’
After saying this, the nurse took the critical condition notice and left.
Ettin looked at his mother and shouted angrily, “Mom, did you feed Knight or
not! ”
Mrs. Tuchman was very guilty, and changed the subject, “Ettin, you know they like to scare people!’
“I’m asking one last time, did you or not!”
Seeing Ettin’s anger, Mrs. Tuchman was frightened.
Was it really that serious?
It was just a bowl of porridge, and should have been digested by now according to the timing.
They must be scaring her.
Definitely scaring her.
Mrs. Tuchman kept comforting herself in her heart.
“No, I didn’t.”
In the operating room.
Despite various rescue efforts, Knight Tuchman’s heart monitor eventually
became a flat line.
Surgery failed!
The light went out.
Viola Thompson looked at the child who had just sweetly called her sister not long ago, who had stopped breathing in an instant. She felt terrible.
This accident could have been avoided.
Dr. Janell looked at Viola Thompson, “Miss Thompson, this is not your fault.
Don’t blame yourself.”
Viola sighed softly, “He’s only nine.”
He didn’t have a chance to see the world.
Dr. Janell was also a bit upset, but more angry. If it weren’t for the patient’s family’s intentional concealment, this accident would not have happened!
Such a lovely child, gone because of the family’s ignorance.
Cheryl, who was waiting outside the operating room, saw Viola Thompson coming out and immediately ran up to ask, “Miss Thompson, how is our baby?”
Viola Thompson looked at Cheryl, “I’m sorry, there was stomach reflux during the surgery, and despite the rescue, he’s now…”
Before Viola Thompson could finish, Cheryl fainted.
Fortunately, two little nurses held her up in time.
Hearing this, Mrs. Tuchman stepped back a few steps, “It was just a bowl of porridge…”
“You fed the baby porridge?” Ettin looked at his mother. Mrs. Tuchman didn’t care about her fear anymore and nodded.
Yes.
She fed him.
Viola Thompson frowned slightly, “Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
“l thought it wouldn’t matter…”
Ettin looked at Viola Thompson, grabbed her arm tightly, stared with wide eyes, and asked, “Miss Thompson, you’re joking with me, right? Our baby is fine, right?”
Dr. Janell stepped forward, “Mr. Tuchman, there is no return for the dead, please be sorrowful. Your child is inside, go see him for the last time.” Ettin looked at his dazed mother and yelled, “Are you satisfied now!” Mrs. Tuchman felt as if her blood was flowing backward.
She just stared at the direction of the operating room, speechless.
She deserved to die.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have fed the child.
Mrs. Tuchman suddenly knelt on both knees and cried loudly, “Oh, my God, why didn’t you take me instead? My baby is only nine years old…”
Ettin rushed into the operating room, hugged his child’s corpse, and cried silently.
This was the child he had begged for half his life.
But now, the child’s life had been cut short in his hands.
If he, as a father, had been more responsible, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
This scene was heartbreaking.
Viola Thompson removed her mask and sighed.
Aurora Scouts rushed to the hospital to comfort the couple as soon as she heard about this.
The two were numb.
There were tears all over their faces.
Cheryl held Aurora’s hand tightly, “Aurora, if only I hadn’t left the hospital that day!’
Ettin regretted it more and more, slapping himself hard, “Why was I so busy!’
Aurora sighed, “You both must stay strong and look forward. There will be another child in the future.’
Another child?
The two were already in their forties, and there would be no more children later.
Cheryl shook her head, “There won’t be another one.”
Aurora patted Cheryl’s back, “Cherly, don’t be sad, cheer up..”
