Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
In the Tillman Residence, Joe was restless. He thought of Anastasia and saved her phone number on the cell phone, so he quickly dialed her number.
“Hello, Mr. Bachelor.”
“Miss Tillman, are you in the hospital? How is President Tillman? Is he okay?” Joe asked anxiously.
“What’s 5 wrong with asked urgently. I my dad?” Anastasia
“Didn’t Mrs. Tillman inform you? He fainted in the house and is now in the hospital getting emergency treatment.”
“Which hospital?”
Joe then urged, ‘Miss Tillman, please contact Mrs. Tillman now! He was in Alex’s car with Mrs. Tillman and Young Mistress Erica, and they should be in the hospital now.”
“Okay.”
Anastasia was still in the Presgrave Residence as she was going to spend the night there. She stood before the floor to-ceiling windows in the room and hurriedly dialed Naomi’s number.
Naomi’s cell phone rang as they were in
Alex’s car. When she saw the name, her heart skipped a beat. “It’s from Anastasia.”
“Mom, don’t pick it up.” Erica said.
Naomi didn’t want to answer. Then, her phone stopped ringing. However, Erica’s phone rang instead. The caller was
Anastasia too.
“She is persistent. Does she know that dad fainted?”
“It must be Joe who informed her. D”mn you, Joe! Why are you so nosy?’ Naomi scolded, then said to her daughter.
“Answer it. Tell her we are on the way to the hospital, lest she thinks we are killing
Francis.”
At this moment, Erica’s phone stopped ringing. Now it was Alex’s phone that rang instead. Alex picked it up and looked at the screen. “It’s her, and I’ll pick it up.”
“Hello, Miss Tillman, he said anxiously.
“Mr. Hunter, did my dad really faint? Which hospital is he in now? I’ll come over this instant.”
“Miss Tillman, we’re on the way. There is a traffic jam on the road, and we are now rushing to the nearest hospital, which is the General Hospital. Don’t worry, we’ll be there soon.”
“Okay, I’ll be there,’ she replied anxiously.
“Okay, see you soon.” With that, Alex hung up and hit the steering wheel. “She is going to the hospital, and we have no choice but to take President Tillman to the hospital as soon as possible.”
Naomi turned her head and saw that Francis’ face was terrifyingly pale under the light. She placed her trembling finger under his nose and found that his breathing was getting weaker. It was evident that he was about to die..
“Alex, send him there now. I think he doesn’t have long left!” Naomi ordered Alex.
Alex was driving to the General Hospital and he said to Erica, “Take out the will from my briefcase and get his handprint now. I can sign it on his behalf as long as his handprint is there.”
Alex parked his car on the side of the road and after he was done with his thumbprint, he drove to the hospital again.
A black SUV rushed into the night like a black panther out of Presgrave Residence. Anxiety was evident in Anastasia’s eyes as she sat on the passenger seat. How can this be happening? Did he really pass out because of the two glasses of wine he had?
“Don’t worry. Let’s go to the hospital and check out his condition first.” Elliot comforted her tenderly. When he heard the news earlier, he drove her out without a second of hesitation.
Over at General Hospital, Francis was placed on a stretcher and quickly taken to the emergency room. Naomi and her daughter followed behind while crying uncontrollably.
Naomi weeped as she begged the doctor, “Doctor, you have to save my husband. You must save him!”
“Ma’am, we’ll do our best.” reassured the doctor as he shut the door of the operating room.
Alex, Naomi and Erica exchanged glances with each other; they were all silently praying for the same thing-a ‘sorry, we have done our best’ from the mouth of the doctor.
About fifteen minutes later, Anastasia and Elliot hurried over from the elevator. She glanced at the operating room where her father was still being treated and looked at Naomi and Erica. “When did Dad faint? Was he still conscious when he was brought here?”
“Anastasia, was your dad drinking at the Presgrave Residence? If you knew that your dad shouldn’t be drinking, why didn’t you stop him?” Naomi snapped at Anastasia as if Anastasia had caused Francis’ to be admitted to the hospital.
Of course, Anastasia knew that her dad had two glasses of wine. Hence, all that was on her mind right now was guilt and regret. I should’ve stopped him…
“If something happens to Dad, know that it’s all your fault!” Erica cried and scolded.
“It is indeed not advisable for President Tillman to drink any alcohol. The doctor suggested that it is best to not even drink a sip,” added Alex.
Anastasia’s figure shook with remorse, but a strong arm behind her supported her firmly while reassuring her, “Don’t worry. Let’s see how things go.”
In the operation room, an emergency rescue was being carried out; the doctor put in all his effort to revive Francis. Though the doctor had shaken his head several times, he still tried every means possible to carry out a second rescue.
Fortunately, when they used the defibrillator for the second time, the still line on the machine had started showing weak signs of a heartbeat..
“Heartbeat’s back. The patient’s will to survive is strong.”
This time, Francis’ condition was considered a severe heart failure. If he had been a minute late, he might have not been able to survive. However, due to the prolonged cardiac arrest, the oxygen supply to his brain was insufficient, so he was now in a severe coma.
Even after a successful resuscitation, there might be a risk of him being in a vegetative state.
Two hours later, the exhausted doctors came out with layers of cold sweat on their foreheads.
“What happened to my dad? Is he still alive?” Erica was the first to ask.
“Did you save my husband? Is he still alive? Tell me!” Naomi acted like a desperate wife.
Anastasia also clenched her fists tightly and stared at the doctors.
“Since the patient has missed the golden hour, we’ve done our best. So far, the operation was successful, but due to the prolonged cardiac arrest, the patient’s brain was severely deficient in oxygen supply and that has caused a certain amount of brain damage. Please prepare yourselves mentally as the patient is likely to be in a long coma or at the risk of a vegetative state.”
“What?” Naomi’s entire body went limp, so Alex reached out to help her. When she raised her gaze to meet Alex’s, both of them expressed joy in the depths of their eyes.
Erica covered her mouth and looked distraught, but there was a flash of delight in her eyes.
Even if Francis was not dead, he would never wake up. This is exactly what they would want.
Anastasia was the only one who seemed to be drained of strength. Pain shrouded her face as she let tears roll down her cheeks. Standing behind her was a heartbroken Elliot as he felt sorry for Anastasia. As a daughter, this is the last thing she’d ever want to hear.
“Francis! Francis…” Naomi began to cry and sat on the ground bawling while Erica hugged her as they cried together.
