CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1861

Professor Cruz assured Karina that he would do his best to convince Professor Zeller to reconsider. Even if that didn't work, he promised to personally approve her paper for publication. Karina was deeply grateful, but her gratitude extended even more to Wilfred, who had made this meeting with the professor possible.

On the way back, she pondered how she could thank him. Wilfred didn't seem to lack anything, and no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't decide what to get him. Her musings were interrupted by an urgent phone call from Wilfred.

"Have you left Professor Cruz's office yet?" he asked, his voice tinged with urgency.

"I have. What's wrong?" she replied, sensing something was wrong.

"I've been called out for an emergency consultation, but I just got a call from the rehab center. Wendy attempted to hang herself. She's likely in the ER by now."

"What?" Karina's grip on her phone tightened. Without hesitation, she said, "I'll head there right away."

When she arrived at the hospital, Wendy had just been brought in. The lack of oxygen had caused severe internal bleeding, and her condition was critical.

Karina quickly sprang into action, performing emergency procedures that lasted an exhausting hour and a half. It was touch-and-go, but Wendy's life was ultimately saved.

Afterward, Karina stayed by Wendy's bedside for another two hours. It wasn't until 7 PM that Wendy began to stir.
