The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the hospital where Stella worked. Mr. Brulee, Mr. Brulee, was shocked when he saw Griffon, who was covered in blood.
He quickly calmed down and commanded the medical staff to take Griffon to the emergency room. He then turned to Zack, who was closely following behind him, and asked, “Where is he
injured?”
Zack, clenching his fists and keeping his voice steady, replied, “He has two knife wounds on his back, and his head was hit with a stick. I’m not sure how many times he was hit, so you’ll need to
examine him to determine that.”
Upon hearing that Griffon had a head injury, Mr. Brulee’s expression tightened, and he stepped forward to conduct a preliminary examination of Griffon’ brain with gloved hands. “He was hit twice on the head, once at the back of his head, which is a
fatal injury,” he explained.
Realizing that Griffon had other brain diseases, he became anxious and quickly instructed his a*sistant, “Call the dean in Washington and connect me to him immediately!”
After Mr. Brulee finished speaking, he turned to the other doctors and ordered, “Notify the surgical doctors to come and handle the knife wounds immediately, and contact the brain specialists to come to the emergency room!”
A group of doctors hurriedly pushed Griffon into the emergency room after receiving orders.
“Alpha Knight’ injuries are very serious, fortunately the injuries on his body have not penetrated his organs, timely hemostasis and treatment is good.”
“The brainstem is a fatal injury, and it is necessary to quickly deal with the congestion and perform surgery as soon as possible!”
“The other areas are bruised, and cleaning the wounds of germs will suffice. The impact is relatively small!”
“But multiple surgeries must be performed simultaneously, which is very risky!”
After the surgeons and brain specialists completed their examinations, they quickly reported to Mr. Brulee, letting him make a decision on whether to immediately proceed with the synchronous surgery.
Mr. Brulee thought of Griffon’ instructions and hesitated. The off-site guiding Washington dean, however, decisively said, “Operate the skull immediately!”
Although Griffon had previously instructed not to perform a craniotomy, in this situation, it was necessary to save his life.
As Washington’s chief Stella, only he had the authority to make the decision, and Mr. Brulee had to follow his lead and immediately order the doctors to perform the surgery.
Outside the operating room, Zack clenched his fists and stared at the red light, suddenly remembering that Griffon had gone to save
Taya.
But when they rushed in, they didn’t see her anywhere. If Griffon woke up and realized he hadn’t found Taya…
Zack thought of this and quickly took out his phone, intending to send someone to look for her. But he saw Griffon’ most trusted bodyguards approaching.
The leader of the bodyguards stood before Zack and asked anxiously, “Mr. Zack, how is Alpha Knight now?”
After a brief explanation, Zack asked the leader of the bodyguards about what had happened. When he learned that they had failed to protect both Griffon and Taya, he became furious. “What’s wrong with you guys? You lost Ms. Palmer and let Alpha Knight go on his own. Don’t you know that many people want to kill him?”
The leader of the bodyguards hung his head in shame and apologized, “I’m sorry. Alpha Knight asked us to find Ms. Palmer as soon as possible, so I sent all the personnel out. I didn’t expect him to go to the coast alone, and he got seriously injured. It was my fault.”
Zack scolded the bodyguard furiously and gritted his teeth, “Why are you here if you’re not going to find Ms. Palmer? Hurry up and look for her! If Alpha Knight wakes up and doesn’t see her, then you will have truly failed!”
After the bodyguards apologized and left the hospital to continue searching for Taya, Zack called Andre on the phone. “Alpha Knight is in trouble, you need to come back!”
He couldn’t stay there for too long due to his identity, otherwise, he might be exposed.
As he was about to rush into Eric’s villa to fight again, Andre’s face changed drastically when he heard about Griffon’ situation.
“I’ll be back right away!”
He could not care about Stella at this moment. He threw away his weapon and quickly got into the car, telling the driver to hurry to Wolverly Capital’s Airport!
When Andre arrived at the hospital, the surgery had been going on for several hours.
Zack, who had been hiding in the shadows, briefed him on what happened and quickly returned to the cabin to deal with Elder and his gang who had hurt Griffon.
Andre took Zack’s place and anxiously guarded the door of the operating room while calling Preston on the phone.
Preston, who was in Finland setting up the proposal scene, dropped the bouquet of flowers in his hand when he received Andre’s call.
Harper saw it and thought he was not working seriously. Just as she was about to reprimand him, she saw his handsome face turn pale.
Harper put down the flower wreath and stood up, asking Preston, “What happened?”
Preston grabbed Harper’s hand and uttered anxiously, “Griffon is seriously injured, the proposal is off. Let’s head back as soon as possible!”
Harper’s heart ski pped a beat and asked, “What happened? Why did he suddenly get injured?”
Preston led her quickly towards the airport and replied, “I don’t know yet. Let’s go back first…”
Before boarding the plane, Preston intercepted each of the Knight pack members who were on their way to Finland, and asked them to hurry to the hospital to check on Griffon’ condition.
At Arcadia Hospital, the Knight pack who had come in succession stood on both sides of the operating room in silence, waiting.
As a large pack that had weathered various storms, almost everyone remained calm in the face of the unpredictable world, no matter glory or ruin.
However, from their posture and their focused gaze on the door of the operating room, it was clear that the members of the Knight
pack were worried about Griffon’ safety.
As carts filled with various medicines and blood plasma entered and exited the operating room over the course of several hours, the pack members silently made way for them, not saying a word and standing as still as statues.
At 8 pm, six hours after the surgery began, Mr. Brulee and chief surgeon walked out of the operating room looking exhausted.
They removed their masks and spoke softly, but everyone could hear them clearly.
“Alpha Knight has two knife wounds on his back, but they’re not very serious. The main issue is with his brain. He has suffered three impacts from an external force. Although we cleaned the blood clots in a timely manner, he is still in critical condition. If he
doesn’t wake up within the next 48 hours, you should be prepared for the possibility of him falling into a deep coma…”
Upon hearing this, Rebecca was in disbelief. The implication of severe coma meant that Griffon would probably be in a vegetative state!
As the Alpha of the pack, if Griffon were to be in a vegetative state, who would take control of the powerful Knight pack?
How could their grandfather, who was recuperating in Italy, bear the news that the pack heir he had nurtured had become like this?
Rebecca looked at Mr. Brulee incredulously, but he dared not look her in the eye. She had a sense that something was amiss.
Rebecca stepped forward in her high heels, and with a commanding presence, she pressed Mr. Brulee, “Are you hiding something from us?”
Mr. Brulee remembered Griffon’ instructions and shook his head hastily.
Rebecca, however, was not convinced, and in a cold voice, she
demanded, “Either you tell me now, or I’ll send someone to investigate. But if you choose the latter, your career will end here and now!”
Under the pressure of Rebecca’s forceful voice, Mr. Brulee’s gloved hand began to tremble uncontrollably.
So many doctors and nurses had participated in the surgery; it was unlikely that the truth could be hidden for long. After a moment of thought, Mr. Brulee finally chose to tell them the truth.
“I previously examined Alpha Knight and found that he had a brain disease, a deep-seated intracranial tumor. Surgery would carry the risk of coma and hemiplegia, but Alpha Knight refused to undergo surgery and opted for conservative treatment. He also forbade me from telling anyone.”
“In order to prevent everyone from worrying, he chose to go to Washington for treatment. We just communicated with the Washington hospital director and decided to perform a tumor resection surgery for Alpha Knight while handling the hematoma. Currently, the surgery has achieved the expected results, but due to his severe injuries, it may be difficult to wake up…”
