Chapter 39

"What if the police ask me to be responsible for it? Can I refuse? Besides, Director Hu is the director of
the police department. No matter how capable we are, we can't fight against him!" Howard stood up
and said anxiously.

Lena fell silent. After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked, "How badly is Layton hurt?"

"It's very serious. When I received the call from his classmate, he was covered in blood all over his
body and unconscious. The doctor said that the brain damage is serious and if he can't be cured... If he
can't be cured, he will die. If he can be cured, he might become a vegetative patient. " Howard shook
his head and sighed helplessly.

Nicole peeped at the door, not seeing in his eyes his love as a father to his son.

Lena suddenly walked up to Howard and said, "We can't let Layton die like this. Even if he wants to die,
we have to let him sign the organ transplant agreement first. Otherwise, according to Nicole's
character, she will never allow us to touch Layton's body."

Howard looked at Lena in surprise. Lena continued, "We can't let the police take Layton away. Even if
he have to leave, he has to do an organ transplant operation before leaving. Otherwise, if he must be in
prison for a long time, our daughter won't be able to wait him for so long and will die!"

Howard kept silent. He looked at Layton and sighed. It seemed that his conscience had awakened a
little and he said in a low voice, "I think it... It is sorry for Layton."

Lena got angry. She grabbed Howard's arm and whispered in his ear like a leader, "If you feel sorry for
him, what about our daughter? Don't you care about our precious daughter? Our precious daughter is
getting thinner and thinner day by day, suffering from the pain of illness. Do you still have the mood to
care about anything else at this moment? Now we have two things to do. One is to ask Layton to sign



the organ transplant agreement, and the other is to ask Layton to do this operation before the police
took Layton away. We don't care about other thing else. Do you understand?"

Lowering his head, Howard neither nodded nor shook his head.

Nicole was really disappointed. 'Lena is really vicious, Layton has been hurt like this. She is still
thinking about how to get Layton's kidney, is she not afraid of being retaliated by God?

At this time, the sound of medical equipment suddenly came from the ward. Howard took a look at
Layton and rushed to him in surprise, "Layton, Layton?"

Lena was also surprised. She went forward to have a look, but Lena was just worried that she couldn't
get his kidney after Layton died.

Outside the door, Nicole saw that Layton's body was trembling, and the electrocardiograph machine
beside him showed obviously in a straight line. Nicole was so scared that she hurriedly pushed the
door open, pulled Howard away, and then cried anxiously in front of Layton, "Layton, Layton?"

Layton frowned in pain and didn't wake up at all, so Nicole quickly pressed the bedside caller and
called the doctor and nurse over.

Because Layton's ward was a special ward for severe illness, the doctor and nurse arrived immediately
after hearing the calling. The doctor briefly checked Layton's situation and hurriedly asked the nurse to
invite the family members out.

Standing outside the door, Nicole watched the doctor give Layton a defibrillation instrument for his
heart recovery. But no matter how much pressure was used, even if Layton's whole body was shaking,
the route on the electrocardiogram machine was still straight.



The doctor gave Layton auscultation for a while, and arranged for the nurse: "Arrange immediately and
send to the emergency room!"

The nurse went out to arrange very cleverly, and after a while they pushed Layton out.

Nicole was so anxious that tears fall down in her eyes, but she didn't notice it at all. She felt her heart
was clenched and unable to breathe. Following the doctor and nurses all the way, she asked, "Doctor,
how is my brother? How is he now?"

The doctor didn't dare to answer. When he sent Layton into the emergency room and changed his
clothes, he turned around and said, "The patient is in danger now. We will try our best to save him, but
the family members should also be mentally prepared!"

He nodded to encourage and comfort Nicole, and then quickly entered the emergency room.

At that moment, Nicole felt that the sky was going to collapse. 'Is the family that I has tried hard to run
and maintain going to break up at this moment? I has tried my best to protect my brother for many
years. Is he going to leave me as ruthlessly as my mother?'

Nicole sat on the chair weakly, staring at the ground in a daze.

Lena seemed to be anxious as well. She glanced at Howard and signaled him to go forward to talk to
Nicole. However, Howard shook his head in grief and didn't want to do anything.

Lena became anxious. She came up to Nicole and said, "We don't want anything bad to happen to
your brother, but I think saving a life is better that anything. If he is really dead, you can ask him to do a
good deed to wash away the sins you and your mother have committed. It's also a good thing."

Nicole knew what Lena was up to. Lena was so inhumane that Lena dared to irritate her at this
moment!



Nicole raised her head and stared at Lena coldly. She didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of
murderous will.

Lena was really worried that Layton would die at once and couldn't save her precious daughter. Lena
didn't know what was on Nicole's mind, so she asked, "Have you thought clearly about what your father
talked to you last time? If you and Layton are willing to help my daughter, I will try my best to give my
connections and financial resources to save Layton. I won't let anything happen to Layton. This is also
a good thing for you!"

"Can you leave here?" Nicole said through gritted teeth in a cold voice.

Lena was shocked and wanted to say something, but Howard pulled her up and hinted her not to say
anything.

However, Lena was still not convinced. She probably thought that it was ungrateful for Nicole to
contradict her. So she said, "I did it out of kindness! If I don't help you, who else can help you? Don't
think that I always want to hurt you. If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have been like this. You
should have unconditionally paid off your debts to my daughter. Now that I'm willing to help Layton, it's
very kind of me. How dare you lose your temper at me? "

Nicole stood up, gnashed her teeth and said, "You are not welcome here. Can you leave?"

"Nicole, I'm giving you a chance. Do you think there are so many people in the world who are willing to
save your useless brother?"

Nicole hated Lena's vicious face. 'Layton is still in the emergency room. How could she take advantage
of the situation? How could there be such a shameless woman? Nicole gritted her teeth and said, "Are
you leaving or waiting for me to drive you away?"

"The hospital is not your home. How can you just let me go?"



Nicole was furious. She looked around. She wanted to find the security guards of the hospital, but she
didn't see them. So she took out her phone and pretended to dial a number. "Hello, 911? This is the
People Hospital at the XX Road. Someone threatened me. I need your help!"

Hearing this, Howard was stunned. He didn't expect that Nicole would call the police. He hurried
forward and persuaded, "Nicole, forget it. Forget it."

Lena was even more furious. She was a celebrity in the field. If Nicole took her to the police station,
she would be humiliated! Lena wanted to rush up to block Nicole's phone call, but Nicole raised her
hand and dodged Lena's attack with her advantage of height. Nicole also raised her mobile phone,
indicating that she had finished calling!

Gritting her teeth, Lena said, "Okay, okay! You win! You win! "

Howard was still persuading, "Honey, forget it. Let's go home first. Stop it!"

Lena gave Nicole a resentful look, which could eat up Nicole's bones, and then turned away. Howard
followed Lena and left.

The two annoying people finally left. Nicole sat back in her chair, but she didn't feel a sense of victory.
Instead, she felt sad.

Nicole recalled the scene that her mother jumped off the rooftop, that her mother was sent to an
ambulance to the hospital, and that her mother never came out after entering the emergency room.

At that time, Nicole was also sitting alone, as if a century had passed. The doctor and nurses finally
came out. Nicole quickly stood up and looked at them expectantly.

The doctor looked at Nicole with a complicated expression. His forehead was covered with sweat and
he seemed to be very tired. He took off his mask and said, "We have tried our best, but the patient is



seriously injured and there is no way save him back. I hope you can restrain your grief..."

At that moment, Nicole was shocked and paralyzed.

Now Nicole was sitting alone outside the emergency room as before. She didn't want to repeat what
happened 8 years ago. She had heard it once, and she didn't want to hear it again. She didn't want to
hear it in her life!

A deep sense of helplessness struck her heart. Tears fell down from her eyes. The more Nicole wiped
them off, the more desperate she became. It seemed that her tear was like the flood, which had burst
out without control. She couldn't control her emotions anymore.

How lonely and sad Nicole was! Nicole really didn't want anything bad to happen to Layton! Nicole
couldn't even hate Lena and Howard anymore. She just felt that it was unfair. Why did it take away her
dearest love from her again and again?

Nicole didn't know how long she had been waiting outside, about one or two hours or longer. Nicole
didn't look at her watch or pay attention to her phone until the light of the emergency room went out.
She knew that the doctor and nurses were about to come out, so she immediately stood up.

At that moment, her heart was full of fear. The white wall of the hospital, the red light, and the smell of
disinfectant tortured her heart like a devil. Nicole was really afraid that she would suffocate to death
before she could wait for the result.

The doctor came out first. Nicole stepped forward and didn't dare to ask him casually. She just looked
at the doctor sadly, anxiously and expectantly.
