Chapter 729: Hold on a little longer (2)
The doctors who participated in the protocol study and the operation did not go to rest after the operation and stayed in the hospital to prepare for unexpected situations.
New Year’s Eve was not good for everyone, and on the first day of the year it was impossible to live in peace again.
Severo was too concerned about Allyce to worry about anything else, while Xabat, who was gentle in his dealings, ordered Kimdis’ men to bring food for the doctors and nurses guarding the hospital.
Kimdis has become a landmark building in Cloud Cit and the restaurant chefs inside are top-notch.
Allyce’s recurrent condition had the group of doctors and nurses exhausted, but the food was delicious and they ate it anyway, tired and hungry.
Xabat has been with Severo for many years and has been influenced by him and takes the New Year’s party very seriously.
He said a few words of courtesy to the doctors and took the food back to Severo.
He stood outside the room, staring at the large little group guarding the bed, his nose sore, his throat a little tight, and he swallowed before he could calm his emotions.
Alonzo seemed to be caught in Severo’s mood and did not eat much.
Xabat was a little anxious and served Alonzo a bowl of soup: “Do you want more soup?
Alonzo shook his head distantly and pursed his little lips and suddenly he came close to Xabat’s ear and asked him in a whisper: “Uncle Xabat, why is my mother still sleeping?
Xabat bit her tongue for a while before blurting out: “Because I was tired and wanted to rest.
Alonzo lowered his eyes: “Then why is Dad crying?
He could sense that these adults were lying to him because he had seen his father’s eyes redden earlier and, although he had not seen him shed a tear, he knew he must have cried.
Only when you cry do your eyes turn red.
Xabat didn’t know what to say for a moment when he heard Alonzo add: “Dad is crying and I want to cry too.
With that, he raised his small, fleshy hand and wiped his face.
Xabat took his small hand, fumbled over himself to find a damp tissue and, after opening the packet, wiped his face.
We’ve been so busy lately that although we all want to take care of Alonzo, we’ve never been parents of a small child, so it’s inevitable that we don’t take proper care of him.
However, Alonzo has not made any fuss and behaves very well.
“It’s nothing, your father is not well, when you . Mummy will be fine when she wakes up from her nap …” Xabat didn’t quite know how to comfort a small child and tried to say it as clearly as possible.
Alonzo nodded with a puzzled gesture of understanding.
Xabat stroked his head and passed him the bowl of soup: “Have some more soup, will you?
Alonzo eats so little that he is really worried.
Alonzo reluctantly drank another small bowl and went to Severo’s side.
…
The situation with Allyce is, well, grim.
Throughout the night, Severo stayed by his bedside without blinking.
Alonzo watched until he fell asleep in the middle of the night, and Severo put him on the sofa.
As the sky faded to white, Allyce’s situation was once again in jeopardy.
Victorino led another group of doctors to resuscitate Allyce.
Only, in the middle of the operation, Victorino suddenly came out.
Severo heard the door open and raised his head to look at Victorino.
Victorino’s gaze made Severo’s pupils fall.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Severo opened his mouth, somewhat unable to utter a sound.
Without removing his mask either, Victorino said: “Are you going to see her for the last time?
“What … does that mean?” Severo’s throat sounded as if he had swallowed sand, his voice was dry and somewhat frightening.
Without waiting for Victorino’s reply, Severo left him alone and went into the operating theatre.
In the operating theatre, only the cold sound of instruments could be heard, the doctors and nurses stood silently to one side, and the atmosphere in the room was suffocatingly oppressive.
Severo walks with heavy steps towards the hospital bed.
Allyce is lying quietly in bed, breathing heavily, as if she is about to fall into a long sleep at any moment.
Severo’s eyes immediately reddened, but no tears fell.
He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her forehead and ruffled her hair, with gentle movements to the core.
Although he had not yet said anything, that air of sadness lingered in the room, causing the doctors and nurses beside him to look away, unable to bear to look any longer.
Severo took Allyce’s hand, which was very cold.
He began to speak out loud, in a very soft voice.
“You promised to give me a daughter, you can’t be so unreliable.”
“Don’t keep sleeping, I can’t take care of Alonzo, don’t you want to see him grow up?”
“And beef … ”
As he spoke, he was so incoherent that he did not know what he was saying.
It took a long time, but Allyce did not respond at all.
The doctors and nurses, both in action, told her that Allyce would probably never wake up again.
Severo’s hands began to tremble. He said slowly but firmly: “Don’t try to leave me alone in this world, I will follow you, as for your son, I won’t worry about him, you don’t want him anyway, I don’t want him that much, let him be alone in this world to fend for himself … ”
The doctors and nurses on the sidelines couldn’t help but look sideways.
It’s not that you’re irritated, is it? What’s all this talk about?
“Don’t worry about sleeping, I’ll go and keep you company, I can bring Alonzo if you want, you don’t want us me, we’re not as cruel as you are, we still love you …”
The words tumbled out, but Allyce remained unresponsive.
However, after a few seconds, a nurse, who had been observing the ECG, exclaimed in surprise: “Doctor, look!
The doctors turned around and looked at the slowly recovering ECG, all a bit incredulous, but without delay.
“Mr. Severo, get out of here, we have to resuscitate the patient now!”
“I’m here, I’m going to keep an eye on her, and if she doesn’t get up well, I’ll take her son and go to her.
Severo said these words with a calm face. The doctor’s face was shocked, but there was no time to console him.
Severo’s condition was there, and this operation was supposed to be special, so the doctor did not call him back.
He stood rigidly outside the operating table, watching a group of doctors and nurses going about their business, his heart hot and cold for a moment.
He knew Allyce was afraid of dying, that he didn’t want to die yet, that he wouldn’t leave him and Alonzo behind.
She had lacked her mother’s love since she was a child, so she was especially fond of Alonzo, from whom she could not and would not part to keep him company.
Her words, she must have heard.
He will definitely be out of danger.
The operation lasted ten hours.
Victorino came over and said, “The patient’s condition is stable at the moment and, without incident, the patient’s condition will be stabilised by this operation”.
The other doctors had been exhausted for some time.
Severo nodded.
Then he stood by the bed.
For once, even Alonzo sensed an unusual atmosphere.
He also stayed with Severo for the rest of the day and night.
