Chapter: 1002
Some people were injured. They waited for nurses to dress their wounds. And the others were family members of the patients. Doctors could also be seen in the hall.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air. People made different kinds of noise. This was the first time Joey was witnessing such a chaotic scene. But his mother was beside him. So he held onto her hand tightly.
ALL these injured patients had just been transferred from Gentlefolk.
As if that wasn't enough, there was a steady stream of injured people still on their way.
‘It was only a building that was set on fire. Why are there so many injured people? Where is Daddy?' Joey thought anxiously.
He pressed his lips and looked around the hall. The little boy searched for a familiar figure in the crowd. But unfortunately, he didn't find what he was looking for.
“Miss Bennet, right?" A nurse walked up to Rachel.
"Yes, I am." Rachel nodded and looked behind the nurse. But she didn't see Andy.
The nurse had to make an explanation when she noticed that Rachel's gaze was focused elsewhere.
“Hello, I'm the one who called you just now. Mr. Torres has been transferred to the general ward. Come along with me if you don't mind. I'll take you where he is."
When she heard that Andy was fine, Rachel heaved a deep sigh. She felt relieved. Thereafter, she followed the nurse out of the emergency hall to the inpatient building.
While they were on their way there, Rachel remembered what the nurse told her on the phone. After stating her identity, the nurse informed
Rachel that Andy was in a coma and someone needed to go through the admission procedures for him.
Actually, the nurse called Rachel because Andy had set her number as the emergency contact in his phone.
This particular setting worked in such a way that would force Andy's phone to ring even if it was kept muted. He set Rachel's phone number as an emergency contact in order to prevent missing her calls.
However, it never occurred to Andy that this setting would be of use to him at some point in time.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the ward where Andy was. After looking through the window of the ward, Rachel saw that Andy was lying in the bed. He was yet to wake up. His forehead was covered with gauze, and his arm was put in a cast.
"Don't worry, Miss Bennet. Mr. Torres suffered a broken arm but he is all right now. He is expected to wake up very soon," the nurse said gently after following Rachel's gaze.
"Mr. Torres is going to recover fully as long as he rests for a sufficient period of time, without any sequela."
"That's good to know. Thank you very much."
In response to what Rachel said, the nurse quickly waved her hand and replied, "No trouble at all. If it's convenient, Miss Bennet, can you give me your ID card? I need to go through the admission procedure for Mr. Torres."
Rachel nodded her head in agreement. She took out her ID card and handed it to the nurse.
The nurse collected it and left immediately. She still had to contact the other patients’ families.
Rachel was about to open the door when Joey pulled her clothes.
This made her stop what she was doing.
