236 Jade Ring
Lewis knew Keira was trying to comfort him, so he played along and changed the subject.
Keira then began. I was also abducted when was a child and was locked up with an older brother Abducted?
Lewis was slightly startled. How old were you then?
Keira was about to answer, but Madeleine suddenly coughed, and her body began to twist!
Oh no! Blood has entered the trachea! Arrange for emergency thoracotomy immediately! Madeleine was issued the fifth critical condition
notice.
Lewiss attention was immediately diverted, and once again, he stared intently at the hospital bed. Keira no longer had the mind to talk about the past.
It was hard to tell how much time had passed. It could have been three hours or perhaps five, but Madeleine was finally resuscitated.

When the doctor said there was no immediate danger to her life, Keira let out a huge sigh of relief. She turned her head and saw Lewiss clenched fists slowly relax
Keira gently patted the back of his hand in
reassurance.
Lewis then gave a wry smile.
Madeleine had fractures all over her body, and her internal organs were also ruptured in many places. When she was wheeled out of the operating room, she seemed to regain some sense of feeling; even though. she was unconscious, she was flailing her arms and calling out, Lewis
Her thrashing around made it impossible for the
doctor and nurses to continue with the IV.
The doctor held her hand, but she kept calling out, Big brother
She struggled vigorously, trying to grasp something.
The doctor urgently said, Mr. Horton, we must calm her down or else we wont be able to save the life we just brought back! 11-3 33

Lewis gazed at her for a long time and finally stepped forward. Im here.
The uneasy Madeleine immediately calmed down, seemingly sensing his voice, and subconsciously grabbed Lewiss hand. Lewis tried to pull his hand away, but Madeleine immediately furrowed her brows. Big brother
Those words reminded him of the little girl curling up in his arms to sleep when they were children.
Lewis paused.
The doctor beside him immediately made a pleading gesture. Mr. Horton, weve barely snatched her back from the hands of death
Lewis tightened his jaw and glanced at Keira.
His eyes conveyed hesitation and conflict.
Keira clenched her fists tighter.
Without saying a word, she watched as Lewis accompanied Madeleine to the ICU with the doctor. Keira stood outside the ICU, looking inside through a glass door..

She and Lewis were only a few meters apart, but that glass door seemed to isolate them from one another. Doctors and nurses shuttled back and forth, checking Madeleines vital signs every half hour. Lewis couldnt hear the outside conversations.
But Keira could hear a group of specialist doctors discussing.
Its a medical miracle that we were able to save her
life!
The main thing is that Mr. Horton is willing to spend the money. Shes had the equivalent of four blood transfusions; shes lucky to be alive. There was one bleeding point we couldnt find, and in the end, we guessed, but luckily we guessed correctly!
But even though her life was saved, shell have a lifelong disability. just dont understand why she would do this to herself You just came for the consultation and didnt
understand. She was brought over from the mental hospital next door heard from her attending doctor

The doctor looked around and then said,
She has severe depression, and she simply cant pull through, no matter how many medications she takes. It seems that her only hope for living was Mr. Horton but Mr. Horton has now gotten married and doesnt plan to see her anymore, so she attempted suicide
The people nearby immediately asked curiously, What was her relationship with Mr. Horton?
They were said to be lovers. Mr. Horton has been treating her for five or six years, and they were previously abroad. What? So Mr. Horton has fallen in love with someone
else now?
Having a girlfriend with mental illness, who could bear that forever? Its quite normal for him to move on
But it still feels somewhat heartless. After all, he was the patients only hope. Once he broke up with her, the patient couldnt take it anymore
Mr. Horton has already married publicly, hasnt he? Why is it that the patient couldnt take it just now? 11:33

asked the attending doctor, and it seems Mrs. Horton wasnt pleased. Mr. Horton told the patient that he wouldnt see her again, and thats why she was so upset and jumped off the building. The state she was in when she was brought here was unbearable to
look at
Agroup of people chatted as they walked away, heading to another ward to continue their rounds. However, these words made Keira tense her jaw, wanting to say something, yet not knowing what to say.

She understood Lewis.
He had chosen her over Madeleine, which moved her
deeply.
But now, it wasnt just about him; even seeing Madeleine lying on the hospital bed was enough to make her own heart pound with fear!
That was a life!
Just yesterday, she was still alive and arguing with her, and today, her life hung by a thread

But was a childhood promise really that important?
Was Lewis supposed to let a single promise drag down.
his entire life?
Keira suddenly thought of that big brother.
Her situation with that big brother was actually quite
similar to Lewis and Madeleines situation.
Back then, she had saved that big brother, and he had promised to marry her and take her home to his family But over the years, that big brother had never come
to find her.
Still, his words had indeed been her only hope to keep living after she returned home.
It was only as she grew up that she understood relying on others could never compare to relying on oneself. She was doing well now, so she had moved on.
If she had been even slightly weaker or not strong
enough, perhaps someone else in her shoes wouldnt have made it through, right?
She lowered her head, lost in thought.

The man looked tired, with a sense of powerlessness in his eyes.
Keira didnt want to pressure him with things like You promised yesterday that you wouldnt see her anymore.
She had never been the pitiful heroine of a story.
