Chapter 43

Equally concerned about Elizabeth’s well-being, Veronica followed behind Mathew toward the doctor.

“The patient suffered from an intracerebral hemorrhage, which means thcrc has been bleeding in her brain tissue,” the doctor explained as she took off her surgical gown. “The symptoms are as she had displayed earlier. Good thing we got to her here just in time. It would have been bad if it was even a second later.”

Veronica could not help but let out a huge sigh of relief upon hearing the doctor’s wordsIntracerebrahemorrhage

Those were the exact symptoms Tony had when he had the same condition two years ago. She remembered how panicked she was when Tony had gone to the fields to work only to end up foaming at the mouth while convulsing because a blood vessel in his head had ruptured.

She had immediately called for an emergency back then. She as-briefly-as-possible mentioned the symptoms, and the doctor patiently told her what she could do to help. Alas, she managed to bring Tony back from the brink of death as she did according to the doctor’s instructions.

 

After that incident, Veronica, as a precaution, had made sure to teach Daniella what to do in case something like that were to happen again. After all, Daniella was the one who was staying by Tony’s side.

“Is she awake?” Veronica asked with a concerned look.

 

The doctor nodded in response and reassured her, “Yes, she has regained consciousness.”

As the doctor spoke, a nurse emerged with a hospital bed from the emergency room–in the middle of the bed lay Elizabeth.

The worried Matthew hurriedly stepped forward and caringly asked, “How are you feeling right now, Grandma?”

Even though Elizabeth had just gone through a life-threatening ordeal, she still managed to show her grandson a kind smile. “I’m fine. I was just–”

Her words came to an abrupt stop when she noticed that Matthew wasn’t the only one there. “Veronica? What are you doing here?” she eventually asked.

Instead, it was the doctor who answered on Veronica’s behalf. “This is the girl I told you about earlier! She is the young lady who saved your life! You have to give your thanks to her. It would have been bad if she wasn’t there.”
