Chapter 1466


    Bernard ‘turned his head, catching sight of Mr. Keith lugging his hefty medical kit, hustling towards


    them with a determined gait. He dashed forward, gripping Mr. Keith’s wrist tightly, and hurried him into


    the operating room.


    Upon assessing Eleanor’s condition, Mr. Keith realized she had suffered a cardiac arrest but was not


    brain dead. Swiftly taking up a hemostat, he began to staunch the bleeding.


    “Everyone, clear out!”


    “Nurse, sterilize the OR!”


    “All doctors, assist me now!”


    As Mr. Keith worked to control the bleeding, he barked orders at a gasping Dr. Marcus,


    “After I stop the bleeding, you take over with defibrition, keep at it until the mother’s heartbeat is


    restored!”


    “Understood!”


    Chaos once again took hold of the operating room with Mr. Keith’s arrival. They poured every ounce of


    their skill into saving a life that had just brushed with death…


    Bernard and theter Hailey didn’t want to leave, longing to stay by Eleanor’s side, but Cedric


    forcefully dragged them out..


    Outside the OR, the group was distraught, pacing helplessly, when ke, stone-faced, turned on his


    heel, strode down the corridor, and slipped into the operating room through a side entrance.


    “Mr. Keith, save the baby first.” Hearing ke’s voice, Mr. Keith froze for a second, then incredulously


    looked up, “ke, the adult’s life is more important.”


    “I know, but she’s already gone. There’s no point wasting time on her. The baby’s heartbeat is still


    strong, just not breathing. With your skills, you can save him…”


    “She’s only had a cardiac arrest. If we act within the resuscitation window, we can bring her back.” Mr.


    Keith exined.


    “She’s bleeding out. Even if we revive her, it’ll only be for a moment. Better to use this time to save the


    child.”


    Mr. Keith hesitated, but his hands didn’t stop their work, and in moments, he had stemmed the flow of


    blood below.


    “Mr. Keith, as an old friend, you wouldn’t want me to lose my great-grandson, would you?”


    Weighing ke’s words, Mr. Keith wrestled with his conscience. Then, he passed the hemostat back to


    Dr. Marcus.

    “Handle the abdominal bleeding. The rest of you, increase the defibrition power. Don’t give up!”


    After giving his instructions, he quickly moved to Ms. Amelia’s side, taking the infant in his hands, and


    with his thumb, beganpressions on the tiny chest, alternating between front and back, then gently


    patting…


    Dr. Marcus was still struggling to stop the bleeding, repeatedly ncing towards Mr. Keith, hoping the


    patriarch of gynecology could lend a hand. Yet Mr. Keith, now fully focused on the infant, could not be


    in two ces at once…


    Outside the door, Bernard, peering through the OR ss, saw ke prioritizing the baby over his wife,


    and he went crazy. The OR doors, however, were locked from the inside by ke’s men… Bernard’s


    fists hammered against the OR door in desperation, his knuckles bleeding, his dignity abandoned as he


    pleaded with ke Laurence, “Grandpa, please, save my wife first…”


    Hailey, witnessing Bernard beg, cried even harder. His plea, so powerless, pushed her to the brink of


    despair.


    Even Cedric, eyes red with emotion, begging ke, “Grandpa, have mercy on Bernard, let Mr. Keith


    save Eleanor first, we’re begging you…”


    For ke, Eleanor was insignificant; Bernard’s son was all that mattered. Faced with his grandsons’


    pleas, he hardened his heart, turned away, refusing to look at them.


    As Bernard watched that resolute back, despair flooded his eyes. His forlorn gaze, through the thick


    ss, fell on the woman lying on the operating table.


    If you live, I live. If you die, I die.


    Eleanor, wait for me.


    Just as Bernard resolved to join her in death, an aged, seasoned voice echoed down the corridor,


    “Bernard, step aside. I’m breaking down the door!”


    Hearing the voice, Bernard nced over and saw Yates Sharp with members of the Sharp family,


    Sheldon Pine with the Pine family, and Robin Spencer with his bodyguards, followed by a procession of


    white-coated doctors, as they swiftly approached.


    Seeing them, Bernard felt for the first time the weight of a lifeline. Without hesitation, he staggered


    aside…


    Now, if only to save Eleanor, he would trust even an enemy.
