Chapter 754 Hope Brought by Alice
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Miranda’s body staggered, almost collapsing to the ground.
At that moment, she was covered in blood, with numerous wounds.
Despite the severity of her injuries, her strong physique meant that they weren’t actually that serious, and her body was still filled with strength.
However, as the doctor spoke, Miranda instantly felt her strength being drained away.
“However, there’s something strange…”
The doctor’s face showed a hint of doubt at this point.
“What is it?” Miranda asked, hoping for some positive news about her mother’s condition.
The doctor furrowed his brow and said, “Based on your mother’s injuries, she should have been dead for quite some time. But it’s strange, she’s still alive, as if there’s some force delaying her death.”
Hearing this, disappointment flashed in Miranda’s eyes.
She knew exactly what force was delaying her mother’s death!
It was simply the effect of the Nine Revival Elixir.
But that wasn’t a solution, as when the effect wore off, her mother would still die!
At that moment, despair filled Miranda’s eyes.
Refusing to accept this, she called Lachlan again.
If she could get in touch with Lachlan now and he could return before the effect of the elixir wore off, then there would be hope for her mother!
However, after making more than a dozen calls, the result remained the same!
“Lachlan!”
“Where are you? Please come back, please?”
Miranda cried out, sitting in the hallway chair, tears streaming down her face.
Hazel, who had come to the hospital with her, didn’t know how to comfort her and didn’t know what to say in this situation.
The usual words of consolation felt inadequate in this moment.
As for Alice, her face kept changing, and no one knew what she was thinking.
At that moment, several people in patrol uniforms quickly approached.
The leader, a man, said to Miranda who was sitting there, “Miss Lowe, please come with us to assist in the investigation of the incident that occurred today on Cloudcrest Street.”
Upon hearing this, Miranda gave the man a cold look, shook her head, and said, “I’m not going anywhere! I want to stay with my mother! What happened today was self-defense, that’s it.”
After this, the man in uniform frowned and spoke sternly, “But…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a stern voice interrupted him.
“Captain Saunders, I’ll handle this!”
Turning toward the voice, they saw a dignified middle-aged man, Westin, the Punishment Chief of Edoland, who appeared and motioned for the uniformed man to leave.
“Chief Westin?”
The uniformed man was startled for a moment and then bowed, “Yes.”From NôvelDrama.Org.
After sending away the subordinate, Westin nodded to Miranda and politely asked, “Miss Lowe, how is your mother?”
Miranda shook her head and remained silent.
In this situation, she didn’t have the patience for the formalities of meeting with the chief.
At that moment, a group of people hurriedly ran into the hospital.
At the front were Emmanuel and Mason, followed by Uncle Owen, Uncle George, Aunt Jennifer, and other relatives of the Lowe family.
Now the atmosphere within the Lowe family had improved significantly, and many people had rushed over upon hearing about what had happened to Cara.
“Miranda! How’s your mom?” “Sister!”
Upon arriving, Emmanuel and Mason asked with worried expressions on their faces.
Seeing her father and brother, Miranda couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore and burst into tears.
She rushed into Emmanuel’s arms, choking with tears, “Dad! I’m sorry… I couldn’t protect Mom… I’m useless… sob…”
As she spoke, Emmanuel shook all over, his face full of disbelief.
“Where’s my brother-in-law? Quickly, contact my brother-in-law!”
“Mom won’t die! Mom won’t die!”
“As long as my brother-in-law comes back, Mom will be fine! She’ll be fine…”
Mason anxiously shouted, his eyes also turning red.
His sister’s words seemed to imply some kind of terrible news.
Miranda, in tears, shook her head, “You can’t… contact him… I don’t know where he is…”
After this, Mason also stood still for a moment, then frantically began calling Lachlan as well.
A moment later, with a thud, he sat on the ground.
A strong wave of grief and resentment filled the hospital hallway.
“Ah…”
“We’ve done everything we can in the hospital! The patient’s internal organs are shattered, there’s really nothing more we can do!”
“You… should go inside and take one last look.”
At that moment, the emergency doctor sighed and shook his head before leaving.
He had seen this scene too many times already.
“No! Your mom won’t die!”
“Your mom won’t die!”
“Cara! Cara…”
Emmanuel struggled to stand up and rushed into the emergency room as if he had gone crazy.
Miranda and Mason also followed, with the feeling that they needed to take one last look.
Upon entering the room, Emmanuel sat next to the operating table, trembling as he held Cara’s hand.
“Wife! Please open your eyes and look at me again, okay?”
“Wake up! Don’t die! If you die, what am I going to do?”
“Cara! Cara… I can’t lose you…”
“We promised, we were going to grow old together…”
Emmanuel truly loved Cara; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been afraid to lose his wife.
At this point, crying out, he was almost breathless and close to passing out.
Miranda and Mason stood there, tears streaming down their faces, filled with despair and grief.
At that moment, another person cautiously entered the emergency room.
“Miss Lowe…”
Alice spoke tentatively.
“Get out! Who let you in?”
“Do you think I’ll kill you?”
Miranda glared at Alice and scolded her coldly.
In the face of the punishment personnel, Miranda could maintain composure, but in the face of this arrogant so-called Western noble, she wouldn’t tolerate her.
Seeing the strength of Miranda, it was clear that the foreign girl didn’t have any thoughts in that direction.
She spoke cautiously, trying to please and be polite, “Miss Lowe, please don’t be angry! I undoubtedly… offended you!
I wanted to say that I might… have a way to save your mother…”
