On the other hand, Michelle stood up and started walking back and forth in the hallway. She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt nervously. She wasn''t as patient as Leena and every minute passing by felt like a year to her. It was at that moment when a nurse walked out of the operating room. Leena couldn''t stay calm any longer, so she rushed to the nurse and grabbed thedy by her arm. "Miss, how is the patient now? Is she out of danger?" "I''m sorry but please don''t get in my way. Her condition is grave and we are still working to rescue her." The nurse quickly walked away. Seconds more and she was already running back with two bags of blood sma in her hands. The sight of the blood bags made all of them freeze on their feet as their fear aggravated.


    "Leena, is my Patricia''s life in danger now?" Concordia was a very simple and pure woman. In her world, everything was very pure and beautiful, and that was why her paintings also appeared very pure and beautiful. This was the very first time for her to get exposed to such a serious situation.


    "Don''t worry, Auntie. The nurse said that they are still rescuing her. She''s still alive, okay?" Leena wasn''t sure if what she said was still a valid truth. It had been hours and she really couldn''t tell how much more anxiety could she take.


    Inside the surgery room, Tom was feeling as bad as the women waiting outside. Patricia''s condition was very critical. Even a doctor like him couldn''t help but shudder at the view of Patricia''s injured body. He could hardly believe that the woman lying in front of him was the same hard-headed and hateful girl who used to challenge him.


    Her ribs were broken, one of her lungs, and her liver were severely damaged too. He really couldn''t imagine how fast she was driving at that time for her to be this injured. He couldn''t even find a ce on her body that wasn''t battered. She would surely be dered dead on the spot if another doctor handled her case. Moreover, she might also end up brain-dead even if her body survived. Her heartbeat had stopped more than once. And every time it happened, Tom found himself leaning closely to her while whispering on her ear. He was threatening her that he would chop her dead body to pieces if she dared give up. Magically, heart started beating again every time after he said those things. It was unimaginable to Tom that she had remained headstrong against him even at her state.


    "Leena, how is it going? Any good news?" Kevin embraced Leena into his arms as soon as he came. He was still panting since he rushed to get here.


    "None yet and I''m beginning to think that it is because she is still angry at me. She requested us to meet this morning but I refused. Please tell me that it isn''t the reason that she doesn''t want toe out now. It couldn''t be possible that she doesn''t want to see me anymore, right?" This was Leena''s greatest regret right now. The ident would not have happened if she had met Patricia this morning.


    "Don''t think like this. Patricia won''t be so mean. She is only too tired and wants to have a break." Kevin knew how torturing it was to wait outside the surgery room, thus, he could understand her fear and helplessness.


    "Really?" asked Leena confusedly with her eyes still focused on the operating room''s door. She never shifted her attention away from the room even after her loving husband came.


    Sadly, Kevin could do nothing but shake his head under this case. He then turned around and started walking away. It only took a few seconds more before he came back with several cups of hot milk in his hands. "Aunt, take some hot milk. It will keep you warm," said Kevin as he handed her a cup. He knew that she was Patricia''s mother because she was the same person who picked up Patricia from their apartment to take her home.


    "Thank you foring here, Kevin. I know that you are very busy with your work but you still came." Concordia Pei gave him a sad smile. Kevin had left a good impression on her. She knew him as a humble gentleman, not like any other officers who liked to put on airs. "Don''t be so polite. We are all her friends." A gentle smile cracked Kevin''s lips. Then he handed another cup of milk to Michelle, "Here, have some milk, too."


    "Thanks." Michelle took over the milk and warmed her hands. She was calmer now than how she was hours ago.


    "Here you are, Nana The milk will warm you up," It was only after giving the drink to the two that Kevin approached Leena. He handed her thest cup that he was holding. He then took off his coat and wrapped her carefully with it. He knew that Leena was the type who easily got cold.


    Confusedly, Leena nced at him and found that he was only wearing a shirt after he gave her his coat. "Won''t you feel cold?" She asked with concern.


    "I''m okay. Drink the milk. It''s getting cold." Kevin looked at Leena with worried eyes.


    "Okay." Leena took a sip and felt the milk stream down her throat. Her body immediately felt warm. Even so, her heart had remained feeling cold because Patricia was still in danger.


    "How about I buy some food for you?" offered Kevin as he nced at the operating room. Although he knew that Leena might have no appetite for anything, he still wanted her to eat some food. She needed to remain strong as she waited for any good news.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "No need. I want to wait until Patricia gets out of danger." Leena raised her head and silently prayed to God. She prayed for Tom to do wonders. She believed that bad luck would never fall on her and Patricia. Furthermore, she believed that Patricia wouldn''t disappoint her this time.
