When Kenny left, Marina sat in the corridor outside the intensive care unit and occasionally looked up to see the situation inside.
Ryder’s face was deathly pale and his eyes were tightly shut. His brows furrowed. He looked very quiet. He was no longer aggressive.
Marina heaved a sigh of relief, but there were more and more difficulties in front of her, which made her very anxious.
Marina was very grateful that Jane stood up for her. However, with Kayden’s character, he wouldn’t let the hostage go. Maybe he was waiting to negotiate terms.
She wouldn’t make a move if her enemy stayed still.
Marina knew she should do this, but she was very worried about her daughter’s situation. Although she knew that the Langdons would not do anything to Nicole, she was still worried.
“Doctor, when will my husband wake up?”
The doctor came to check the room, and Marina asked again.
The night passed, and there was no sign of awakening.
As time passed, Marina felt more uneasy, but she could only wait quietly.
“Mrs. Langdon, Mr. Langdon is still in a critical period, but his heartbeat and blood pressure are normal. He should be fine.”
The doctor sighed. Marina should take good care of herself too. Most women had varying degrees of anemia after giving birth, and Marina had given so much blood to Ryder. She had to lie in bed and rest.
“I’m fine.”
Marina forced a smile and insisted.
After the doctor left, the door of the corridor was suddenly pushed open. Norton ran in with a stubbly chin. When he saw Marina, he asked, “How is Ryder?”
“The doctor said that he is still in danger, but his body condition is stable.”
Marina stood up and quickly pulled out the needles when she saw that she was almost done with the infusion.
Norton was called to perform the surgery on Shawn in City J. He must have received the news and returned in a hurry.
“I don’t believe the media. Tell me what happened.”
Norton stayed up late for two nights. His eyes were bloodshot. The operation he had done for Shawn was very successful. Shawn had already woken up and was being taken care of by a beauty.
As soon as he got off the operating table, Norton wanted to sleep for 72 hours without being disturbed, but he got the news that Ryder was dying.
He and Ryder were good friends. Norton knew him. Ryder wouldn’t try to kill himself. It must be a conspiracy!
“Do you really know him?”
Marina lowered her head and asked after a long time, “What kind of person do you think he is?”
“Marina, what do you mean?”
Norton did not understand the situation, but he was well aware of the relationship between the couple.
This time, Shawn had gotten into a car accident instead of Ryder. It was an accident, and no one wanted this to happen.
“The literal meaning. Do you know him well enough?”
Marina smiled bitterly. She used to think that she understood Ryder, including his ruthlessness and his strength.
However, after coming into contact with him, she discovered that those qualities were just what he wanted to show others. It was just a disguise, but he faked it well. Everyone thought he was just that kind of person.
Even Kayden thought that way.
“Are you telling me Ryder did try to kill himself?”
Norton took two steps back and sat down in the corridor of the hospital. How could this be?
Ryder didn’t care about the Langdon Group’s money at all, because he had enough ability to make more money.
Ryder was not a person who cared about money. Norton believed it without a doubt. Even when he established his own laboratory, Ryder had given him over 100 million.
A stingy person wouldn’t give so much to his friend.
Although most of the time, Ryder was quiet and mean, they would sit down and drink a few glasses of wine. They knew each other.
For so many years, Ryder was the only one who supported Norton’s career. He was Norton’s most important friend and Norton even considered him his relative.
“Let me put it this way. What do you think he cares about the most?”
Marina felt dizzy and leaned against the chair. She took a deep breath and asked.
Norton shook his head. He didn’t know either. He thought he knew his good friend, but in fact, he didn’t know anything.
“Yazmin is back.”
Ryder had not woken up yet. Marina had figured out what had happened.
A mother, who was selfish and cold-blooded, treated her own son as a tool for decades. She had no love for him.
After getting the Langdon Group’s money and the benefits given by Kayden, Yazmin used his mother’s identity to seek revenge on Ryder, forcing him to die.
If it was anyone else, they might not have been fooled at all.
However, that person was Ryder, and he had a stubborn personality. He would rather die than owe Yazmin.
“This bitch!”
Norton could not help but curse.
He did not expect that Yazmin would do this. That woman did not understand her son. If she knew that Ryder’s value was not inferior to the Langdon Group, would she regret it?
“She is indeed a bitch.”
Marina nodded. Norton looked at her in surprise.
“Marina, I promised Ryder that I would cure Shawn. The operation was successful. He woke up.”
Seeing that Marina was about to cry, Norton hurriedly stopped her. “But don’t get excited too early. Although modern medicine is well developed, Shawn is seriously injured and he couldn’t keep his leg.”
“Did he have an amputation?”
Marina had already prepared for the worst. If Norton didn’t help, her brother might not wake up and become a vegetable.
Norton took the operation with great risk. All of this was for Ryder.
Marina didn’t want to curse Ryder anymore.
“He lost his left leg.”
Norton nodded. This was the best result.
Now, a beautiful woman was taking care of Shawn in the hospital and was very considerate. Norton told Marina not to worry and to deal with the matter here first.
“Okay, thank you.”
Marina said solemnly. As Norton said, it was not difficult to make comfortable artificial limbs with medical development. However, Shawn was psychologically unable to accept it. It would be better after a while.
With Lola around, Marina was very relieved.
“Nicole was taken away by Kayden and did not contact me.”
Marina begged Bailey but did not get a reply for the time being. She did not know what the Langdons would do next.
If it was possible, she wanted to send Mark to jail and hold him responsible for the car accident.
And Maeve … was not simple. She escaped from her adoptive parents and coaxed the entire family into submission.
“Nicole should be safe for now. Wait until Ryder wakes up.”
Norton grabbed Marina’s hand and found that her pulse was weak. “Did you give Ryder a blood transfusion?”
Marina nodded, unable to say a word, and fainted on the lounge chair at the door.
