The nurse frowned when the man spoke in a loud voice. “Sir, you're in the hospital. Please lower your voice."
After the nurse said that to the older man, he lowered his voice and said, "He injured Tyrone, so he'll have to be
responsible for Tyrone's medical bills. Is there anything wrong with that?"
The nurse glanced at Nina.
The older man looked in the direction where the nurse was looking and saw Nina. "Are you the woman who stirred
things up?"
"I'm Jean Langdon's family member. It's Jean's fault, so I'll be responsible for Tyrone's medical bills. Please give me
your ID. I'm going to pay now," Nina said frankly.
"So, you're the one who's going to cover Tyrone's medical costs, right? Good. Let's go and pay!" the man said. He
was about to tug at Nina's sleeve.
Nina was so shocked that she took a step backward. She said, "Just pass me the ID. I'll go and pay."
"Pass it to you? What if you run away with the ID? What should I do if I can't complete the admission procedure and
I miss the best opportunity to get Tyrone treated? I'm telling you, don't try to run away from your responsibility. How
dare you hurt my younger brother?! Just wait and see!" The man refused to listen to Nina. He insisted on going with
her.
Nina looked at the burly man, and she quickly hid behind the nurse's desk.
The younger man looked at Nina, and something came across his mind. Thus, he tugged at the older man's sleeve
and said, "We're in the hospital. She won't be able to run away. Let's just pass the ID to her."
"Boy, you can't blow your brothers off for a woman, right? I'll give you the ID. Bring her there." The older man knew
Nina was afraid of him. Hence, he handed the ID to the other man.
"Alright." The man took the ID from him and looked at Nina. "Come on. Let's go pay for it."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNina could sense that these two men were not very nice. Even so, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and
follow this man to the payment counter.
When they were on the way there, the young man tried to talk to Nina. "My name is Keith Hugh. What's yours?"
Nina did not reply to him. She trotted to the payment counter and took the stack of medical bills from Keith before
handing them to the nurse. She said, "Hello, I'd like to pay for this."
The nurse glanced through the papers and quickly helped Nina to handle the hospital admission procedure.
Nina signed her name on the bills after she paid for them.
Keith grinned when he saw her signature. He said, “So, you're Nina Langdon."
Nina shot him a glance. She took the receipt that the nurse handed to her and trotted back to the emergency
room.
After Nina showed the nurse the receipt, Johann and the emergency physician walked out of the emergency room
as well. Johann asked the nurse, "Is Tyrone's family here?"
"They're here. The three of them are his family members," answered the nurse.
Johann looked at the three of them and said, "Tyrone's not doing too well now. The examination report shows that
he has cerebral edema, and there are some glass shards stuck in his head. We need to perform a craniotomy
surgery on him immediately while looking for the bleeding point to stop the bleeding. We need you to sign these
papers. We'll perform the surgery instantly after you sign these."
The middle-aged woman almost fainted when she heard that Tyrone needed to undergo surgery.
Another man helped her up immediately and said, "Hang in there, Aunt Jenny."
Keith heard that and said, "I'm Tyrone's cousin. Can I sign the papers?"
"It'd be better if a next of kin signed these." Johann handed the papers to the middle-aged woman.
The woman's hands were trembling as she signed her name on the last page of the papers. Then, she knelt on the
floor and said, "Doctor, Tyrone is my only son. Please save him."
Johann took the papers from her and said expressionlessly, "We'll try our best."
Nina looked at Johann's expression and knew that Tyrone was not in good condition. She pled, "Dr. Park, please. You
have to save him."
Johann nodded and glanced at Keith and the others. Then, he reminded Nina. "Ask Percy to come here. You can't do
this alone."
Nina knew what Johann meant.
Nina would not be able to defend herself alone if Tyrone's family did something to her. She nodded and replied, "I
will."
Johann nodded and looked at them. "We're transferring the patient to the operating room now. You may follow us
and wait outside."
Right after Johann said that, the nurses pushed the ward bed Tyrone was lying on while unconscious out of the
emergency room.
The middle-aged woman rushed over and said, "Tyrone, hang in there. Otherwise, I'll die with you!" "Aunt Jenny,
stop. Tyrone will be fine." Keith's attention was not on Nina now. He helped the middleaged woman up.
"Please take her away," the nurse said.
Keith pulled the middle-aged woman away from the ward bed immediately. "Aunt Jenny, let the nurse bring Tyrone
to the operation room. Larry, come over and help Aunt Jenny up."
The man Keith was calling was the older man who came along with them.
Larry gestured to Nina and warned her, "You'd better pray that Tyrone will be fine. Otherwise, I'll make you regret
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthis!"
Nina looked down and followed behind them.
Johann was the surgeon for the operation, and he had already left to prepare for the surgery.
Nina pondered for a moment and decided to text Percy: [I'm in the hospital now. Can you come here?]
Percy called Nina immediately right after the message was sent. Nina paused and looked at the caller ID. She felt a
lump in her throat.
Nina did not want to trouble Percy when it came to things related to Anna and Jean. After all, Percy was busy with
his work, and he had already done a lot for her.
However, it was only then she realized that Percy was the only one she could rely on when something bad
happened.
Percy was the only one who could truly give her a sense of security.
Nina answered the call, “Nina, why are you in the hospital?"
“Jean got into a fight at a bar. Someone's injured. But it wasn't me." Nina could not explain the whole story in a few
words. She could only say something that would not make Percy worry about her.
"I'll be right there. Don't be afraid." Percy comforted Nina.
"Okay. I'm outside the operating room on the third floor—" Nina followed Tyrone to the operating room and stopped
outside.
Keith and Larry were helping Aunt Jenny up. After they watched Tyrone being sent into the operating room, Larry
said, "Aunt Jenny, take a seat. Don't worry. Tyrone is going to be fine. He'll come out soon."
"Larry, don't be too optimistic. Didn't you hear what the doctor said just now?" Keith spoke.
Larry glared at Keith and said, "Shut up. Stop talking nonsense!"
Keith had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. He helped Aunt Jenny to sit on the chair. Then, Keith turned to look
at Nina. Nina was not considered a beauty, but she was quite charming. She had caught his attention.
"What are you looking at? Do you think I have no idea what's in your mind? Our brother, Tyrone, is still in there!"
Larry looked at Keith with a disdainful look. Keith's mind was somewhere else just because of that woman.
"Larry, you said that Tyrone will be fine." Keith then walked toward Nina.
