After receiving the alert from the ward, Jonathan and the senior doctor rushed in together within a matter of minutes.
The doctor frowned and looked at the monitor on the device. Seeing how quickly the red lines were fluctuating, he was visibly excited and said, “This is good. Since Mr. Scott was awake for a few minutes, it means that the complications caused by his blood vessels aren’t as serious as we expected. It must have been thanks to you Mrs. Scott. He was stimulated awake from the coma.”
“Besides, there are several wounds all over his body, his heart, his knee caps, his left leg, his right arm, and even on his back… There are also several bullet marks. His wounds aren’t deep, but he has lost too much blood. He might faint from time to time, just like now! You’ll have to provide him with plenty of nutrients and be attentive to his recuperation process to be healthy again. However, the process of recovery will be very difficult and painful. Mr. Scott will need to have a lot of perseverance and patience.”
“That won’t be a problem for him. Credence was once a member of the special forces.” Jonathan replied passionately, “Dempsy, you just need to ensure that every part of his body is fine and functioning well.”
“Full recovery won’t be a problem, all we need is time.” The senior doctor continued to observe the various amounts of data being displayed on the screen and heaved a sigh of relief. “As long as Mr. Scott can withstand the recovery process, he will be able to return to normal within a month.”
Dorothy, who was standing by the side, felt somewhat flustered when she heard this.
This meant that Credence wouldn’t end up as a vegetable. After he wakes up, he’ll just need to endure the difficult recovery process.
But, what if he couldn’t?
Was he still at risk of falling into a vegetative state?
Dorothy voiced her concerns, the senior doctor shifted his bright eyes to her and said softly, “Mrs. Scott, if he isn’t able to endure it, Mr. Scott will not become a vegetable. He will gradually shrink in size, his spine and muscles will weaken. It is very likely that there will be a risk of paralysis. Generally speaking, half of his body will be paralyzed.”
Hearing his explanation, Dorothy’s face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and whispered to herself.
“No, he won’t.”
He had overcome so many obstacles. He would never admit defeat.
“Dempsy, don’t try to scare us like that.” Jonathan saw the tears coming out of Dorothy’s eyes. He turned his head and glanced at the senior doctor, who was smiling. He tried comforting her with a warm smile, “Dorothy, relax. No matter how difficult it is, Credence won’t give up. I don’t believe he’d leave you like this. Because, as long as he is alive, he would never let you be with another man.”
The senior doctor couldn’t bear it any longer. He rolled his eyes. “Jonathan, how can you be so full of yourself in front of a patient like this?”
Jonathan ignored and waved his hand. “It’s fine. Credence, Marv, and I have always talked like this. The more disgusting our words are, the longer he’ll live.”
“That’s enough! Jonathan, I have an appointment with your father. As for Mr. Scott, you’ll have to pay more attention to him.”
The senior doctor frowned. When he was sure that there was nothing left for him to do, he turned around and left.
Jonathan licked his lips and left as well. As he walked out, he said, “Dorothy, I’ll leave Credence to you. I still have some personal matters to attend to. That’s right, Minnie is on the night shift today. I’m going to go look for her.”
He wiggled his legs like a hooligan. As soon as he left the ward, he looked up and saw a petite woman in a white nurse’s outfit walking over in a hurry. Her eyes were staring at the senior doctor. They were filled with a burning passion.
F*ck, no, it was filled with admiration.
Jonathan’s eyes flashed. F*ck, this old man in his sixties, maybe seventies, was he better looking than me?
That didn’t make sense at all.
But Dempsy had already entered the elevator and the doors had closed. What the hell was Minnie staring at!
Jonathan was upset. He walked towards Minnie, bowed his head and stared at her full luscious lips. He snorted strangely and said, “Minnie, you have a thing for older men?”
Minnie was shocked by the ghostly shadow that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She quickly took two steps back and realized it was Jonathan. When she heard what he said, she was so angry that her face turned purple. She retorted without thinking, “Mr. Stanton, what’s wrong with admiring an older gentleman? Age isn’t a problem. As long as we’re not married, we can be in an open relationship. Besides, how is this any of your business?”
“How is this none of my business? You’re the woman for me. Dempsy is my father’s mentor. In other words, Dempsy is my… grand mentor. That’s right, his skills are superb, his virtue is immaculate, and he has a strong sense of responsibility. He is hundreds of times more outstanding than me. But, would you be able to accept me referring to you as my grand mentor’s wife?”
“You’re crazy, what are you talking about? Who wants to marry Dempsy?”
“Well then, if your eyes aren’t broken, why were you staring at him like that?” Jonathan was such a ruffian, he squinted at Minnie’s chest, which was much larger than an ordinary woman’s. He could not help himself. “Girl, I’ve already left my mark on your body. So you should stop running around flirting with other men. Do you want a repeat of what we did in the lounge?”
“You’d dare? Jonathan, how could you be so shameless?”
Hearing the word “lounge”, Minnie got upset. That place was filled with the faint smell of tobacco and disinfectant from Jonathan’s body. She’d never want to go there again.
This d*mned old man, this b*stard, he took advantage of her naive nature to deceive her. He told her that he had a very serious fear of a woman’s private part.
As her greatest debtor, he proposed for her to take off her clothes and only reveal her bra so that he could take a look at it and possibly touch her breasts a couple of times. As long as it could stimulate his senses and nerves, he would no longer feel afraid.
Minnie believed him and followed him into the lounge that was connected to his office. What happened in there was the stuff of nightmares.
What kind of a phobia was this?
He was just finding an opportunity to take advantage of her. Why didn’t his balls break after she kicked him? It would save the decency of a lot of innocent girls like her.
He saw Minnie’s beautiful face turning red from anger. She looked very beautiful but was slowly moving away. Jonathan frowned and reached out his hand to pull her back. Unexpectedly, his two slender fingers touched the plump parts of her body, causing her to scream out loud. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, “Why are you shouting? If you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you. Even though I really wanted to do something to you that afternoon, you didn’t want to. I had to hold back my desires.”
In order to successfully hook up with women, Jonathan had worked so, so hard.
As soon as he stopped talking, he glanced at the person who was coming out of the ward from the corner of his eyes. His face had turned red and he was at a loss for words. He wanted to dig a hole and hide inside it.
Actually, Dorothy was more shaken than he was.
She had just received a phone call from Germaine and learned that Belle had just woken up. She wanted to see her, so she rang the bell beside the bed. She wanted to get a nurse to call Jonathan over to look after Credence because she couldn’t reach him by phone.
In the end, she rang the bell several times in a row, but not a single nurse came in.
She dashed out of the ward to ask what was going on. The moment she stepped out, she saw Jonathan and a beautiful female nurse glaring at each other, as though they were forcing each other into submission. She didn’t know where to start.
Dorothy held back her laughter and asked, “Mr. Stanton, are you free right now?” Jonathan was so angry, he wanted to punch the wall and pretend to be dead.
“Yes, of course I have time. Apart from hooking up with hot girls, I have a lot of time for other things.”
Dorothy said softly, “I need to go visit Belle immediately. Please take care of Credence for me.”
“No problem. Dorothy, do what you must.”
Jonathan nodded and watched Dorothy leave. When he turned around, he saw Minnie leaving angrily in her high heels.
He pursed his lips and whistled at Minnie’s charming bottom. When he stopped, he put one hand in his pocket and wandered into Credence’s ward.
