A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 215

Chapter 215 My Baby Girl

In the hospital, after Darlene got the blood transfusion, she woke up the next morning.

Because Gustave suddenly stopped breathing, he was sent to the emergency room. After he got rescued, he was sent to the intensive care unit.

The doctor first sent Gustave to the intensive care unit. Not long after, he came out.

Cassius was waiting outside. He wanted to go in and see his son. When he saw the doctor come out, he said anxiously, "Doctor, does the intensive care unit only allow one person to care for the patient? I can take care of my son. Let me go in."

The doctor looked a little troubled. "Mr. Cassius, Mr. Gustave just barely woke up. His mind may not be clear now, and his state is not that good. He just said that he wanted to see Ms. Garcia."

Cassius' face darkened, and he said, "No. That woman entered my son's ward

last night. Just after that, my son suddenly stopped breathing. No matter what, I won't allow that woman to approach my son again."

The doctor tried to persuade Cassius and said, "Mr. Gustave has just woken up.

He is very weak now, and his emotions are not stable. As a doctor, I suggest that you should satisfy his current request as much as possible. It is also good for him to recover."

Cassius was silent for a moment with a cold face. In the end, he agreed reluctantly and said to Darnell, "Darnell, go and call that woman over. I'll go in and check my son first."

The doctor stopped Cassius and said, "Mr. Cassius, Mr. Gustave means that he only wants to see Ms. Garcia and say a few words to her. He is still not feeling well. So he wants to take a good rest before seeing the others."

Cassius was so angry that his face darkened. "The others? I am his father! I am his biological father!"

The doctor said calmly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cassius. This is Mr. Gustave's own will. He needs a quiet environment to recuperate right now. It is not suitable if there are too many people going to disturb him."

Cassius had no choice but to compromise. After all, this matter was related to his son's recovery. No matter how angry Cassius was, he could only listen to the doctor's advice and sit back in the chair in the corridor.

Cassius watched as Darlene rushed over and entered the intensive care unit.

And Cassius himself could only wait outside and not go in to disturb Gustave and Darlene.

The more Cassius thought about it, the angrier he became. He cursed in his heart, damn it. Darlene has not married into the Walpole family yet. Even if she really marries my son, I will become her father- in-law. How could my status be lower than hers?

After thinking so, Cassius got up and wanted to go in directly. But the doctor beside him immediately stopped him and said, "Mr. Cassius, please calm down first."

Cassius glared at the doctor angrily. "You... You..."

Cassius did not know what to say, so he could only withdraw his hand and sit back.

In the ward, Darlene anxiously approached the sick bed. After sitting down by the bed, she looked at Gustave, who was lying on the bed. She suddenly didn't know what to say.

Gustave had woken up. But this was the first time Darlene had seen Gustave's face so pale.

In Darlene's impression, no matter what happened, Gustave would always be in a calm and relaxed state.

Gustave had a healthy body, and there would never be any problems with Gustave's health.

After a long time, Darlene said in a trembling voice, "You're awake. How do you feel right now? Are you thirsty? Shall I get some water for you?"

Hearing Darlene's questions, Gustave replied a little slowly. Perhaps he was really too tired. It seemed a little difficult for him to say just a few words.

When Gustave saw that Darlene was about to get up, he reached out and patted the edge of the bed, indicating that Darlene didn't need to do anything. "I'm fine. I'm not thirsty. I was planning to take you to Lancaster in the next few days."

Nathen had told Gustave before that the person who donated the heart to

Darlene was still in Lancaster.

At that time, Nathen meant that he could take Darlene to Lancaster alone. But Gustave was worried. So he planned to go with them in the next two days.

Gustave wanted to take Darlene there as soon as possible and make enough preparations, just in case she missed the time for the heart transplant.

Darlene shook her head. "I won't go. I will stay here for the next few days."

Darlene originally planned to go to Lancaster with Nathen this morning. But last night, when she saw Gustave stop breathing, she suddenly felt that Gustave's body might collapse at any time.

After realizing this, Darlene did not dare to leave. She wanted to wait a few more days until Gustave's condition stabilized.

Gustave reached out and motioned Darlene to sit by the bed. He said, "Darlene, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. In order to find a suitable heart for you, Dr. Elicott has also spent a lot of effort.

"I know my body very well. I have woken up now, and there will be no problem with my body. You should go with Dr. Elicott first. If I go to Lancaster with you now, I will only be a burden for you."

Darlene's eyes were red. "I'm not going."

Gustave said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. That heart can save your life. How can you say that you don't want to go?

"If you don't want to go alone, I can discharge myself right now and go with you. I feel much better now. Other than being a little tired, there is nothing wrong with my body."

Darlene was very afraid. She heard the news of Arthur's death in that car accident.

Last night, the hospital issued a notice of critical illness to Gustave's family, and Darlene also knew about it.

If Gustave had not protected Darlene at that time, perhaps Darlene would have died in that car accident just like Arthur.

Gustave patted the back of Darlene's hand and said gently, "Go. Don't worry about me. It is not convenient for me to go with you. But I will definitely wait for you to come back.

"After a few days, if you are still in the hospital there, I will personally go to pick you up. Darlene, if you miss this chance, you won't get a second one."

Darlene looked at Gustave. "I can't just leave you like this..."

Gustave interrupted Darlene and said, "You have to rely on yourself after you get there. You have to make it.

"My body is much better than yours. I should be the one who is worried about you. If there is anything inconvenient when you get there, just tell Dr. Elicott. Or you can also call me."

Darlene's eyes were very red. After a long while, she said, "Don't lie to me. When I come back, I have to see you to be fine."

Gustave nodded. "Sure. Now, go. It's still early in the morning. You can leave now. If you leave later, perhaps Avery may stop you and make things difficult for you."

Gustave urged, "Go. Take care of yourself over there. I need to sleep for a while. When I wake up again, I will be energetic enough to deal with some company matters."

Darlene was slightly relieved. "You should deal with company matters when you get better. You don't have to worry about the company now. You are already lying in a sick bed."

Gustave nodded. "OK."

After Darlene went out, the hand that Gustave had just stretched out fell down weakly. It seemed that Gustave had lost all his strength now. His face was pale, and he soon fell asleep again.

Before dawn, Nathen had already set off with Darlene.

Darlene's phone was still in the car because of yesterday's car accident. It was not until she boarded the plane that she remembered it. She said to Nathen, "I forgot to contact the police to get my phone back. At least, I should buy one first."NôvelDrama.Org content.

Without a phone, how could Darlene contact Gustave when she arrived in Lancaster?

Nathen said, "It's OK. You can buy one after you get there."

In fact, the police had already handed Darlene's phone to Nathen and told Nathen to give it back to Darlene.

But this time, Nathen did not want any news to affect his decision and Darlene's heart transplant.

Nathen thought that everything could wait until after Darlene received a heart transplant.

In the hospital, Dakota rushed to the nurse station and asked about Darlene.

When Dakota learned that Darlene had already left the hospital, she staggered and collapsed to the ground.

"My baby girl! No matter what, I have to get her back!"
