Chapter 896 - 922: Don’t Let Me Die (8)
Of course, he’s no match for his abnormally ascetic cousin.
But now, this small interest has also become a problem.
How could he not be depressed?
Such things are embarrassing to tell others, so he went to the hospital to talk to a doctor.
Who would have thought—
When he came for a consultation at noon, he ran into Koa Jackson.
Actually, I shouldn’t have come to the Fourth Hospital.
During lunch, Koa subtly inquired once. He managed to change the subject, but now he’s asking again. Would this person be overly concerned and go find a doctor himself?
Caiden Ward thought it’s possible, and he wanted to test him a bit, but was startled by a piercing siren.
When he looked up, an ambulance screeched to a halt not far from them.
The car door made a heavy sound, and a few people lifted the stretcher to the ground.
Soon after—
Another ambulance screeched to a halt.
The surroundings suddenly became noisy and chaotic.
Caiden Ward rarely encountered such scenes, so he quickly stepped back two steps.
But Koa Jackson stepped forward.
His gaze precisely fell on the stretcher, having already noticed the patient’s head was injured, with blood flowing down the stretcher bed.
"Dr. Jackson!"
The doctor pushing the stretcher was sweating profusely and called out as soon as he saw him.
"What’s the situation?" Koa Jackson asked quietly.
"Car accident, two dead, seven injured. This child’s condition is the most severe and needs immediate surgery, but..."
The doctor’s face was grim, standing on tiptoe, speaking in a low voice: "Cerebral hemorrhage, left arm fracture, right foot comminuted fracture, and was shot in the abdomen, he is the deceased chairman of the Ninghe Group’s..."
Before he could finish, Koa Jackson lowered his gaze toward the stretcher.
Is the person still awake?
Koa Jackson was momentarily stunned, meeting Odin Myres’ pitch-black eyes that were so bright they seemed to glow.
The child’s forehead was covered in sweat, dripping down like beads.
Even he felt a twinge of pity.
Koa Jackson’s thin lips moved slightly, but before he could speak, his wrist hanging by his side was suddenly gripped tightly.
Odin Myres obviously recognized him, his tense and restrained expression softened a little, but the grip on Koa Jackson’s wrist was astonishingly strong. His fingernails could practically dig into Koa Jackson’s flesh. The small boy, trembling with lips already bitten to bleed, pleaded word by word, "Please, don’t let me die."
As the words fell, those pitch-black eyes stubbornly held onto Koa Jackson’s gaze.
Koa Jackson pressed his thin lips together and returned his gaze.
He gently nodded his head.
Odin Myres’ gripping hand then fell limp, and he fainted.
"He lost too much blood." As Odin fainted, the doctors around seemed to sigh in relief and quickly added, "When the ambulance arrived, the kid seemed like he couldn’t make it, his body was drenched in blood, he kept enduring, even when we asked questions he just bit his lip and said nothing. Dr. Jackson, he’s the deceased chairman of Ninghe Group’s son. With such serious injuries, this surgery..."
Whoever performs the surgery will be unlucky, it’s easy to get into trouble unintentionally.
The doctor was naturally anxious.
Especially since Koa Jackson’s status in the hospital was already an open secret, how could he not consider the family?
There are other neurosurgeons, and the surgery doesn’t necessarily need his involvement.
Koa Jackson lowered his eyes to look at him, "Have you contacted the family?"
"They should be..."
The words "on the way" were left unsaid, as a commotion erupted behind them, several motorcycles and cars stopped, and a group of tall, strong men hurried over with quick steps.
The man leading was Ari Murphy, who naturally recognized Koa Jackson, paused, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Jackson."
Koa Jackson nodded in response.
Ari Murphy’s gaze fell on Odin Myres.
He gasped.
The doctors had already performed first aid, and the stretcher under the kid was soaked red, from his arm to his foot, it was all blood-stained.
Ari Murphy’s heart skipped a beat, he glanced at Koa Jackson, trembling at the lips.
He couldn’t say a word.
The position of Family Head in the Myres Family was never passed to a daughter, they fully protected Odin Myres firstly because of Cesar Myres’ will, and secondly, as his status, he was indeed the only male qualified to inherit the family business at the moment.
Now—
Clearly, the will states that without Odin Myres, it’s Louis Cox.
Yet those people still targeted a child.
It was evident that they were acting with impunity, also as a veiled warning to Louis Cox.
If anything happened to Odin, next in line, it would definitely be Louis.
Ari Murphy’s mind was racing, cold sweat forming on his forehead, when he heard Koa Jackson’s voice addressing a few nurses on the side, likely assigning them tasks for pre-surgery preparations.
He instinctively looked toward Koa Jackson.
He hadn’t spoken yet when a man suddenly arrived beside him, asking deeply, "Where’s Louis Cox? Where is your family’s young lady?"
Ari Murphy turned his head, meeting Caiden Ward’s dark and heavy face.
"Louis is on his way," Ari Murphy quickly said.
"What about Maeve!" Caiden Ward’s voice suddenly rose a notch.
"This... I don’t know, she should be with Louis."
"Shit!" Caiden Ward cursed through gritted teeth and directly went aside to call Louis Cox.
