Chapter 219 Everest Is Not Well


    Chapter 219 Everest Is Not Well


    Everest was in critical condition.


    The hospital''s infant and toddler specialists were doing everything possible to save the baby.


    Everyone was waiting outside the emergency room. Even Cam hade in a wheelchair. She held


    Madelyn''s hand, hoping to give her some warmth.


    Madelyn had been standing.


    She was fragile but didn''t want to sit down. She gazed at the heavy iron doors.


    Her eyes dared not blink, afraid of missing something.


    Her Everest was inside, struggling hard to stay alive...


    The doctor said it was already a miracle that she had held on until now.


    The doctor said they could consider giving up the baby.


    The doctor said the baby was suffering too much!


    But every day, Everest was still breathing, still attached to this world. She wanted her mother, and she


    was not willing to leave...


    Madelyn became a mother, and only then did she understand that pain.


    Even though the pain was not physical, it felt a hundred times worse than any physical pain.


    Benjamin rushed over.


    Alexander nced at his son but didn''t me him anymore. He knew his son was also not feeling well.


    Who didn''t love Everest?


    Brianna and Eloise had been crying all along but suppressed their tears. Brianna whispered to her son,


    "Ben, let Madelyn sit down. She just gave birth ten days ago!"


    Brianna was highly distressed.


    As a woman, she knew how weak Madelyn was after giving birth, not to mention all the injuries to


    Madelyn''s body.


    Benjamin brought a chair for Madelyn, but she refused to sit down. In the end, he could only let her


    lean against him. She struggled for a moment and then stopped moving...


    After four hours, the doors of the emergency room finally opened.


    The doctor came out, slightly tired, and said, "We managed to save her, but the situation is still not


    optimistic. I just give you a heads-up!"


    Everyone understood the implication.


    It meant they could save her this time, but there were no guarantees for the next time.


    It also meant they could consider giving up the baby!


    ...


    But no one mentioned giving up the baby.


    Because Madelyn traded her life for this baby, and no one was willing to give up her.


    But, just to prevent any regrets, the rk family used their connections to arrange a ward next to the


    incubator room, allowing Madelyn to always see the baby. It''s afort but also a form of torture.


    Madelyn stayed by the baby''s side day and night without sleeping or resting.


    Benjamin was the father of the child, and he was also allowed to stay in the ward.


    For so many days, it was the first time he could be close to Madelyn. But she still ignored him, often


    sitting there and looking at Everest through the ss.


    Watching her sitting for a long time pained Benjamin.


    He poured a ss of water for her and ced it next to her. "Madelyn, take a break. The baby needs


    rest too."


    Madelyn was repulsed by him, instinctively pushing him away when he approached.


    The scalding hot water spilled all over his arm.


    In an instant, it turned red.


    It hurt, but Benjamin acted as if he didn''t feel it. He gently said, "I''ll go treat the wound! You should


    rest."


    Madelyn''s gaze fell on his arm.


    She didn''t say anything and quickly looked away.


    Benjamin was stung by her cold gaze. Now, there was no trace of warmth towards him in her eyes. She


    looked at him as if he were a stranger.


    If it weren''t for Everest, she wouldn''t be in the same room with him.


    Benjamin left in a hurry.


    He silently tended to his wound and returned to the ward.


    He could not bear this kind of indifference. He gently embraced her from behind, and his voice was


    hoarse, "Madelyn, you can hit me, scold me, but don''t treat me like this!"


    Madelyn didn''t struggle for free.


    Because she didn''t have the strength...


    She knew he wanted to salvage their rtionship. But in her heart, their rtionship died a long time


    ago.


    Madelyn turned around softly.


    Her eyes had lost their radiance, utterly devoid of light.


    "When I told you, you didn''t take it seriously."


    "And now... it''s not necessary anymore!"


    "Even if you hadn''t left the country, maybe nothing would have changed. I would still be hurt, and the


    baby would still be lying in the ICU. But Benjamin... no woman can endure her husband leaving her for


    the sake of his first love in a divorcewsuit. Benjamin, you can never imagine how I survived that one


    hour."


    Madelyn''s eyes turned red. "When I called you, you probably hadn''t taken off yet. Even if you could


    have rushed back to witness the birth of Everest, we would never have reached this point!"


    At least... at least Everest was born out of love.


    And not in such a wretched way!


    How could she forgive him?


    She... could not forgive him!


    After Madelyn finished speaking, she turned around and silently looked at Everest.


    That tiny, wrinkled little baby with closed eyes...


    Was she in pain, so much pain?


    Benjamin spoke softly, "Madelyn, I''m sorry!"


    He could only say sorry!


    ...


    Everest''s condition was deplorable!


    Finally, the doctor found Benjamin and told him privately, "Mr. rk... the survival rate of your child is


    now less than five percent! We ask for your decision."


    Five percent...


    Benjamin''s face turned pale.


    After a moment, he gritted his teeth, "My wife and I don''t want to give up the baby."


    After a while, the doctor stared at him and said, "I also want to tell you that Mrs. rk''s condition is


    also very poor. She now has severe postpartum depression. If she continues to wait for hope without


    sleep... the result may be damage to her nervous system, causing irreversible consequences!... In


    other words, she will be gued by depression for the rest of her life!"


    Benjamin clenched his fist slowly.


    The doctor reluctantly spoke, "The only way is to remove her from this environment! Mr. rk, do you


    understand what I mean?"


    Benjamin understood.


    For Madelyn, every day that Everest lived was a day of torment.


    For him, this choice was equivalent to saving either the mother or the baby.


    Benjamin didn''t want to give up either!


    He wanted Madelyn to live, and he wanted their baby to live...


    He remained silent for a long time before speaking softly, "I want the child to live! I also want my wife to


    be healthy... So I need all your help!"


    Benjamin slowly made his decision, leaving the doctor stunned.


    ...


    After leaving the doctor''s office, Benjamin found Keh.


    Keh was working in the office, head down and furrowed brow.


    Benjamin stood at the door and called out, "Uncle!"


    Keh looked at him, then sneered, "Who is your uncle?"


    Benjamin was used to it.


    He walked straight in and knelt gently in front of Keh.


    Keh sneered, "I can''t bear Mr. rk kneeling like this! So, what have you done now that you need


    to kneel and apologize?"

    Benjamin told him what the doctor said.


    Keh was already worried about Madelyn''s health, and hearing this made him even more burdened.


    He asked Benjamin, "What are you going to do? Are you really willing to pull the plug on your own flesh


    and blood? If you dare to do that, I will kill you!"


    Benjamin calmly stated his n.


    The atmosphere suddenly became tense.


    Even Keh, who had faced storms and waves before, was shocked by Benjamin''s words. He was


    both astonished and angry, and immediately grabbed something and threw it...


    It was a paperweight.


    A stone object sharply hit Benjamin''s forehead.
