Chapter 44 Bethany Is in Danger
Every minute and second that passed was an interminable torment to Raymond. He stared at the
words "in the surgery" and clutched his clothes tightly with both hands at a loss.

"Bethany, you must be all right..."
Raymond had been silently praying in his heart. The rescue operation had been going on for nearly six
hours, and it was early morning when Bethany was wheeled out of the operating room.
"Doctor, how is she?" Raymond''s voice trembled as he asked.
"She is now out of danger, but there are multiple impact injuries on her body and a brain injury. We are
not sure whether they will lead to memory loss, intellectual impairment, hearing impairment, etc. It will
only be known after she wakes up for a check-up."
Upon hearing that, Raymond couldn''t help but tremble with fear.
He requested the best ward at the hospital, and Bethany was pushed into the ward, still unconscious.
"When will she wake up?"
"Hera is caused by craniocerebral injury, so we are not sure about that. It may take a day or two,
three or four, or even longer. Take good care of her and inform us anytime if there is any situation," said
the doctor.
After the doctor had left, there were only the two of them in the ward. Raymond sat down in front of the
hospital bed, and Bethany''s face was now pale and bloodless.
He gently lifted her clothes and saw that the severe injuries had already been bandaged. The bleeding
abrasions,rge and small, were appalling.
After that, he carefully covered her with a nket and then looked at her with a feeling of distress, as if
something had pierced his heart.
"Bethany, please wake up quickly..."
Back then, Raymond was severely injured and in aa for three years. Although he woke upter, he
had many sequels. Therefore, he didn''t want Bethany to suffer as he had.
Raymond had been up all night, and as dawn broke, Bethany still showed no sign of waking. Raymond
held up his hand to check the time and then called Morgan.
"Find me a professional female special care nurse immediately. Now!" ordered Raymond.
Soon after, Morgan brought over a professional female special care nurse, and Raymond instructed
her, "I need to go out now. Take good care of her. If she wakes up or there is any other situation, call
me immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Zav."
After leaving the hospital, Raymond went to the police station to look into the car ident.
"Mr. Zav, this is the surveince video of the ident. Please take a look."
The surveince video was quite clear. In the video, Bethany was nibbling on the bread while rushing
along in a hurry. When Raymond saw her like this, his pupils contracted in pain.
He had thought that Bethany didn''t take his treatment to heart at all, so she was two hourste.
However, he had never thought that she was busy from the hospital and rushed over to him without
having time to eat.
In the video, Bethany answered a call, which was the urging call Raymond had made to her. After
hanging up, she was very anxious to run across the street corner. Unexpectedly, an ident urred.
Seeing this, Raymond suddenly held his breath and thought, "Did the ident happen right after I
called to urge her? If it weren''t for my constant urging, would this car ident have been avoided?"
Seeing that Raymond was about to break down, the police officer immediately turned off the
surveince video.
"The driver who caused the ident has been arrested and brought to justice. The preliminary trial
result is drunk driving."
The surveince video clearly showed that the pedestrian''s green light was counting down, but it was
still a green light after all. The car ident happened because the driver was drunk driving and ran a
red light.
"The victim was actually very lucky. The car that caused the ident hit a streetlight at the intersection
beforehand, causing it to slow down to a certain point before hitting her. If it hit her directly, she might
have been killed on the spot."
"Where is the driver who caused the ident? Let me see him!"
Raymond was so angry that he even wanted to eat the driver alive. He decided to make the driver
spend his whole life in prison.
"The driver who caused the ident is currently in detention. Mr. Zav, if you want to see him, I''m
afraid you have to..."
Before the police officer could finish speaking, Raymond''s phone rang. It was a call from the special
care nurse. Raymond quickly answered it and asked, "Is Bethany awake?"
"No, Mr. Zav. Ms. Caldwell is in danger again..."
Raymond''s heart tightened instantly at that.
He immediately left everything behind and rushed back to the hospital.
"How is Bethany now?"
"She''s having a high fever caused by the wound infection."
Raymond was stunned for a moment.
Bethany''s face was still pale when he left. She was still breathing, but she looked as if she were dead.
Now, however, her face was flushed with fever.
Her brows were furrowed with extreme difort, and her dry, cracked lips moved constantly, but she
could not speak. Her features were contorted with pain, and she looked very ufortable.
"Doctor, why would she suddenly suffer a wound infection?"
"This situation ismon after surgery, and the strong effect of reducing fever injection can cause
great damage to her body. It is not rmended to do so unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Then what should we do?"
"Give her physical cooling first, and if it still doesn''t work within three hours, we can only give her a
strong anti-fever injection."
"I see..."
Then, Raymond told everyone to go out, and he carefully applied the alcohol to her body. Because of
the wound infection, the doctor treated her injuries again. As a result, Raymond needed to be extra
careful when applying the alcohol to her.
Perhaps it was the pain, or perhaps she had regained some consciousness and thought of something.
Although she still kept her eyes tightly shut, the tears were continually streaming from them, and her
body began to twitch slightly from the pain.
"Bethany, I know you''re in pain. Just put up with it, please. It will soon be all right. I''m here, I''m here..."
Raymond didn''t know if she could hear him, but he kept talking to her like this and even became
somewhat rambling.
It distressed Raymond to see her feel so ufortable, and he even wished these pains toe upon
him again.
"I''m sorry, Bethany. It''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have urged you...It''s my fault. Please wake up..."
After applying the alcohol to her, Raymond felt her temperature again and again, fearing that the fever
would not subside within three hours.
He could not even remember how many times during the three hours he had felt her temperature or
applied the alcohol to her body. Raymond even thought he was in a dream when he saw that her
temperature had returned to normal.
"Doctor, her fever has subsided!"
"That''s great. During hera, her life will be maintained with glucose and nutrition infusions, and she
couldn''t eat for 48 hours after waking up," said the doctor.
Hearing that, Raymond thought, "She may be in aa for a long time, and she won''t be able to eat
anything for 48 hours after waking up, but she was already very hungry before the ident."
He felt very guilty at the thought and scolded himself in his heart, "Why did I have to urge her? If I was
really so anxious, why didn''t I send a car to pick her up?"
Raymond was now very guilty and tormented. Just at that moment, his phone rang again.
