Chapter 254

The car headed straight for the emergency department of the hospital. Soon enough, Tyler was wheeled into the operating room. My tense muscles instantly gave way and I felt like a deflated ball as I lay limply on one of the benches lining the side of the corridor.

Catching something awry, a nurse standing aside approached me and asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I just need some rest." I waved my hand dismissively, gesturing for her to leave me alone.

"Alright, then. I'll get you some water. They're still trying to save the patient inside. This will take time. If you need anything else, just let me know." Perhaps it was my bulging stomach that compelled her to kindly pour me a cup of warm water.

"Thank you." I retrieved the paper cup with gratitude and took a sip of the warm water. Only then did I feel a little better.

In the blink of an eye, I had already been sitting on the bench for a little over half an hour. The adrenaline had long since gone from my body, only to be replaced by worry. I wondered why it was taking so long for Tyler to come out of the operating room.
