Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 134~ Medical tests

"Doctor Steve, how's my husband?" Lora asked anxiously, her eyes falling on Ryan who was lying on the bed in the VIP ward.

"Don't worry, Mrs Kingsley. He's alright, he just had a brief fainting episode since he hasn't had enough rest in the last forty-eight hours," Doctor Steve replied. "You did well to bring him here though... it could have been serious." Relief washed over Lora at the doctor's words and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

When Ryan lost consciousness in the restaurant, Lora called her security team for help to take him to the hospital. The moment they arrived, he was rushed to the ER and Lawrence informed Doctor Steve who came over to attend to Ryan. After a series of tests, Ryan was transferred to a VIP ward to be monitored.

"Thank you so much for the quick response, Doctor," Lora replied. "But, why isn't he waking up if he's ok?"

"That's because he's sleeping," the doctor said.

"What?" Lora's eyes widened. She asked, "Are you sure, Doctor? He had passed out in my arms... how's that sleeping?"

"He must have been stressed, now that he had talked to you about his situation, he must have felt relieved. Right now, your husband is in deep sleep," Doctor Steve affirmed. "He will wake up soon."

"Does that mean he can come home with me when he wakes up?" Lora asked hopefully.

Doctor Steve nodded, saying, "Yes, he can. But I need to emphasise, Mrs Kingsley, that your husband's condition is critical. His blood counts are dangerously low and without treatment, his health will continue to deteriorate quickly."

Lora swallowed hard, her stomach churning with fear and nerves. She glanced at the doctor and remarked, "I'm aware... we will do all we can to find a donor."

Earlier while Ryan was in the ER, Lora had called her Uncle to ask if he could use his connections to look for a donor. She also asked him to look for the donor who had suddenly disappeared. Something felt off, why would someone who had already agreed to donate go missing without an explanation?
