Chapter 695

Doctors and nurses rushed to the scene, bolting into the room where Sherilyn lay.

Immediately, the doctor started administering oxygen and pressure to Sherilyn while instructing a nurse to give her an IV medication.

"Family members, please step outside! Don't interfere with the emergency procedures!"

Gilbert and Edgar were both ushered out of the room, each taking up a post at opposite corners.

The continuous beeping of the monitor seared through Gilbert's heart like it was on a grill, yet simultaneously, it felt as though he was drenched in ice water, sending shivers down his spine.
