Chapter: 862
"She is experiencing severe intracranial bleeding caused by an accumulation of blood clots, which is putting pressure on her nerves and causing her to stay unconscious. There’s a high likelihood that she’ll fall into a coma."
"What? A coma?" Ruby paled. She couldn’t accept that her mother, who had been alive and well just hours ago, was going to have to stay in bed for the rest of her life.
"Dr. Alden, can’t you operate on her head?" George pressed.
"Unfortunately not. Mrs. Xenos is bleeding extensively in a delicate location. We might accidentally kill her if we operate on her." Dr. Alden sighed.
"How could this be? Is there no other way?" George’s expression was pained.
"I’m sorry. I have done everything in my power. Whether or not she can wake up depends entirely on her," Dr. Alden said helplessly.
As if someone poured a bucket of ice over him, George froze up. He couldn’t imagine his wife staying in a coma for the rest of her life.
"Dad, someone I know might be able to help," Ruby said suddenly.
"Who is it?" George broke out of his stupor.
"His name is Dustin Rhys. Not too long ago, he predicted that Mom might have a cerebral hemorrhage. We didn’t take it too seriously at first, but his words came true," Ruby explained.
"He predicted the cerebral hemorrhage? Is there anyone in this world who can do that?" Dr. Alden was doubtful. How could anyone detect something like that without the aid of tools?
"It is true! I swear!" Ruby exclaimed anxiously.
"It doesn’t matter if it’s true. Just tell him to come over and do what he can." George ordered. He wasn’t going to let go of this glimmer of hope.
"Okay!" Without wasting any more time, Ruby took her phone out to give Dustin a call, and she briefly told him what had happened.
"I’ll be there right away." Dustin ended the call and rushed over to the hospital.
By the time he reached, Ruby’s mother had already been transferred to the VIP ward. Although she was no longer in critical danger, she remained unconscious. When Dustin entered the ward, he noticed that there was quite a small crowd gathered there. Most of them were doctors, and some were bodyguards.
"Dustin! You’re here!" Ruby’s face lit up with hope when she saw him.
"Is this the miracle doctor that you mentioned, Ruby?" As George looked Dustin up and down, he unconsciously frowned. This man was much younger than he’d thought. How medically skilled could a man in his twenties be?
"Don’t judge a book by its cover, Dad! Dustin might be young, but he’s really good at what he does! It only took him a glance and he knew what was wrong with Mom." Ruby assured.
"Forgive me for being blunt, Miss Xenos, but maybe it was just a lucky guess," Dr. Alden said. At Dustin’s age, even if he had been practicing medicine since the day he was born, he’d only have 20 -odd years of experience under his belt. If Dr. Alden himself, who had been practicing medicine for over 40 years, could not tell what was wrong with her, how could this young chap?
"Are you sure, young man?" George asked tentatively.
"I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t," Dustin answered plainly.
