In the orphanage, Griffon hugged Taya, and with Stella’s help, placed her on the carpet. Stella went searching for the authorities in charge of the orphanage, brought a hose, and used a lot of clean water to repeatedly rinse the sulfuric acid on her back. While running water streamed through her back, Taya lyingon the ground was still shaking unconsciously in pain. Seeing her in such pain, Griffon’ heart ached to the point of suffocation… Filled with guilt, he came to kneel before her again. He raised his pale fingers and touched the bloodless face.
In the orphanage, Griffon hugged Taya, and with Stella’s help, placed her on the carpet. Stella went searching for the authorities in charge of the orphanage, brought a hose, and used a lot of clean water to repeatedly rinse the sulfuric acid on her back. While running water streamed through her back, Taya lying on the ground was still shaking unconsciously in pain. Seeing her in such pain, Griffon’ heart ached to the point of suffocation… Filled with guilt, he came to kneel before her again.
He raised his pale fingers and touched the bloodless face. What the fingertips came in contact with was the skin cold without the slightest warmth. His heart suffocated. The panic and fear of losing her once few years ago roared overwhelmingly over… He placed his trembling hand under her nose, and when he couldn’t feel her breathing, his whole body went limp. “Stella… She’s not breathing…” Hearing Griffon’ trembling voice, Stella’s hands that were running water over the sulfuric acid paused before she reached out to feel Taya’s breathing and pulse. “There’s still a faint breath, but Taya has undergone major surgery, and with such a severe injury, I’m afraid she might not be able to survive…” Hearing the words, Griffon seemed to have lost control. “No, nothing will happen to her, I’ll never allow anything to happen to her!” Like a lu natic, he grabbed the water pipe, regardless of whether his fingers touched the sulfuric acid, and desperately helped her rinse her wound. At the sight of the scene, Harper burst into instant tears, begging G od over and over again for Taya to survive. Silas, who was outside the door, wanted to help, but all he could do was remain in his wheelchair, incapable of being of any help… Such a deep sense of powerlessness prompted him to strangle his legs, as if falling into an abyss.
It gradually devoured him. Stella wanted to stop Griffon, fearing that the acid would ruin his hands, but seeing how her persuasion fell on deaf ears, she got up and continued to make emergency calls. Before she could make the call, the sound of an ambulance rang at the gate of the orphanage. She wanted to remind Griffon to carry Taya to the hospital, but she turned to see that Griffon had picked Taya up and rushed out before she could say a word. As if he could see no one, he hugged the petite woman in his arms and spread his leg to climb up the ambulance. After handing Taya over to a group of doctors, he ordered in a chilling voice. “No matter what you do, you must save her!” The doctors knew that he was the biggest boss of the hospital, so they replied in a respectful manner, “Got it!” The doctor swiftly connected the patient to the ventilator before treating the wound with sodium bicarbonate solution. Griffon clutched Taya’s hand the whole time, his scarlet eyes fixed on her pale face. “Taya, you must come through.
Your Silas is still waiting to marry you. You must not let him down…” He whispered in her ear, but the lying woman showed no response, as if dead, lifeless. Griffon’ eyes welled with tears, and he couldn’t stop tightening his grip on her hand, as if grasping the last ray of hope. The ambulance soon came to a rushed stop at the entrance of the hospital, followed by Stella, who directed the doctor to push Taya into the emergency operating unit. Griffon wanted to follow in but was stopped by Stella. “Alpha Knight, if you go in, you’ll only be hindering our operation.” With that, she pushed Griffon away and closed the door of the emergency room. The moment the door closed, Griffon slumped to the floor, leaning against the wall in weakness. He collapsed onto the cold floor, with his hands propped on his knees, his eyes dull, staring at the red light at the door of the emergency room… When Harper, Andre and the others rushed over, all they could see was the limp Griffon. Andre walked up to him and noticed his black fingers, he hurriedly offered, “Alpha Knight, I’ll go find the doctor!” Andre soon found a doctor who treated the wound. All the while, he remained on the floor, allowing the few of them to mess around… Harper didn’t have the effort to care about Griffon. With fingers interlaced, she locked her stare on the closed door. As the clock ticked by, the door of the operating room slowly opened… In a sterile suit, Stella exited the room with her head covered in sweat. Before Harper could walk over, she saw a black figure rushing past her. “How is she?” Griffon’ whole body was soaked, a few strands of thick hair on his forehead hung down on his eyelashes, dripping slightly. Yet, he failed to realize so. A pair of dull eyes stared at Stella without blinking. “She’s survived for the time being, but she’s still in critical danger and is in a coma…” Griffon stepped forward to rush in, but Stella said, “She’s been transferred to the intensive care unit.” He stopped his steps and turned to Stella. “Take me to her.”” Stella nodded before leading him and Harper to the ward. “This is the ICU, you can’t go in for fear of infection. You can just look at her standing at the door!” Griffon’ eyes were red-rimmed once more when he saw the pale woman lying on the hospital bed through the gla*s. After staring at her for a while, he slowly shifted his gaze to Stella.
“She’s in the intensive care unit, which means she’s still in life-threatening danger. How long will it take?” Stella replied to Griffon’ question while wiping the sweat from her forehead. “Alpha Knight, it’ll take about one to two weeks, depending on the situation, to see if she’ll be able to escape life-threatening danger during this period.” Griffon’ tense body froze again. The eyes staring at that petite back were filled with boundless. guilt. “Griffon, look, everything you insist on doing will hurt her,” He scowled to himself. “If you hadn’t insisted on mating her off and attending the wedding, how could she have blocked the acid for you?” “You’ve killed her once, and now you’re the cause of her ending up in such a state. What right do you have to appear in her life again?” He raised his gauze-wrapped hand and placed it on the gla*s as if he was stroking her face from a distance, the infinite affection melting from his fingertips. “Taya, as long as you wake up, I promise you that from now on, I’ll never bother you again…” Stella eyed Griffon before glancing at Harper who was crying silently behind him, saying, “Go and get some rest. There are doctors and nurses keeping watch, don’t worry.” Harper cried and shook her head. “No, I want to stay here until Taya wakes up…” Stella appeared to be somewhat helpless. “You can’t just stand here on guard all the time, can you?” With that, she returned her gaze to Griffon. “Alpha Knight, it’ll take more than two weeks. Your bodies won’t be able to hold on.” Griffon didn’t respond, his beautiful face was shrouded in paleness, as if his soul had been locked up, adding a lifeless look to his dispirited self.
Seeing that he couldn’t be persuaded, Stella stopped. After a deep sigh, she turned and walked to the dressing room. The two of them stood guard at the door like wooden stakes, motionless, after two full days, Harper was the first to faint from exhaustion. Stella rushed to rescue Harper. After the rescue, she gave Griffon a tranquilizer while he was not paying attention. Very calmly, she sent Andre to drag Griffon into the ward and infuse him with nutrient solution. With all that dealt with, Stella turned around and reentered the intensive care unit to observe Taya’s condition in person…
