Mar 27 The Heiress Revived from the Ashes Chapter 98 Secrets Unveiled and Unforgivable Betrayal They walked along , discussing the content of the conference .
Finished Despite Jeffreys usual arrogant and carefree demeanor he was a core physician at Skyline Medical Center with remarkable expertise in the medical field .
As a result , he was often invited to attend academic conferences and symposiums as an outstanding doctor representative .
Just as they were chatting and laughing , about to exit the hospital building , Jeffrey noticed Felix rushing past him , carrying Lauren straight toward the emergency .
Behind them , Kate , Anna and Marilyn followed breathlessly .
In that instant , Jeffreys steps noticeably faltered , and a flicker of surprise and confusion flashed across his eyes .
Instinctively , Jeffrey turned his head to look back , but all he saw was Felixs tall and imposing figure gradually disappearing down the hallway .
The woman in his arms had long hair that swayed gently with his hurried steps .
Jeffrey frowned .
Could he have been mistaken ? How could Lauren possibly end up being carried into Westhaven Medical Center ? Westhaven Medical Center was located on the outskirts of Hoverdale , far from downtown .
The Bennett family would only go to Skyline Medical Center , which was conveniently situated in the city center .
Shaking his head , Jeffrey dismissed the thought .
Perhaps he was just overtired and seeing things .
He brushed it off and turned back to his colleagues , re joining their lively conversation as the discussion shifted back to the earlier case study .
Meanwhile , inside the emergency room , the doctors were busy examining Lauren .
After a flurry of activity , one of the doctors , frowning deeply , walked over to Felix .
Are you the patients husband ? Felix froze for a moment at the doctors question .
Im not … Yes ! Yes , he is her husband ! And Im her grandmother .
Doctor , hows my granddaughter in law doing ? Kate interjected anxiously .
Hearing this , the doctor immediately launched into a scolding .
I have to ask , what kind of family are you ? Knowing the patient only has one kidney , how could you let her drink so much alcohol ? Are you trying to kill her ? With just one kidney , her ability to metabolize alcohol is already compromised .
On top of that , she consumed a dangerously high amount .
If her remaining kidney werent so healthy , her weakened condition could have easily led to multi organ failure and death .
Fortunately , you brought her in just in time , so the damage isnt irreversible .
But the patients condition is still extremely critical , well do our best to stabilize her .
Kate nearly collapsed upon hearing the news , and Anna hurried to support her .
1/3 48 Thu , Mar 27 Chapter 98 Secrets Unveiled and Unforgivable Betraya Marilyns eyes widened in shock ; her entire body frozen on the spot .
One kidney ? How could Ms.
Bennett possibly have only one kidney ? 70 Finished After the doctor returned to the emergency room , Kate turned to Marilyn with an exhausted expression .
Marilyn , how could Laurie have only one kidney ? Marilyn , still reeling from the shock , stammered , Thats impossible … When Ms.
Bennett went to prison five years ago , her body was perfectly healthy .
That one sentence was like a bomb dropped into still waters , sending ripples of unease through the room .
Pupils of Kate , Anna and Felix all contracted in shock .
Healthy before prison , yet missing a kidney afterward , this could only mean her kidney had been taken while she was serving her sentence .
The air turned deathly still .
Felixs mind flashed back to the report hed read that morning .
Josh hadnt uncovered anything about Lauren losing a kidney but given the suffering she had endured over the years ) it wasnt hard to connect the dots .
Her missing kidney was likely tied to those who had hurt her .
What kind of hatred , what kind of twisted grudge , could drive someone to do something so cruel to such a frail young woman ? Felix considered himself ruthless , but even he wouldnt go this far .
The waiting felt unbearably long , each minute dragging by like an eternity , tormenting everyones hearts .
Kate clasped her hands over her chest , praying endlessly for Laurens safety .
Anna and Marilyn quietly wept , their tears falling for the pain and hardship Lauren had endured .
No one knew how much time had passed when the emergency room doors finally swung open .
The doctor emerged , weary but composed .
Removing his mask , he said , Her condition is stable for now , but shell need to stay in the hospital for observation .
Well have to monitor her closely for any changes .
Everyone let out a long breath of relief , their heavy hearts easing just a little .
At Skyline Medical Center .
Elliots face was unshaven , his eyes hollow with exhaustion and endless regret .
The once confident and charismatic man was now a shadow of his former self .
He walked absentmindedly toward Davids ward .
Just as he reached the door Sharon Swift stepped out from inside .
2/3 21:48 Ma Chapter 98 Secrets Unveiled and Unforgivable Betraya Finished Perhaps it was due to the warmth of the room , but her face was noticeably flushed , and her lips appeared slightly swollen .
Startled to see Elliot suddenly at the door , she flinched her gaze flickering with obvious guilt .
Mr.
Elliot , what a surprise , she stammered .
Elliot barely acknowledged her with a distracted well .
lis mind was consumed by thoughts of Lauren .
Those tangled emotions twisted around him like vines , suffocating him , leaving him barely able to breathe .
