Chapter 79
Aveline had always been a symbol of vitality in Alexander’s heart. When Jordan mentioned that her life was in danger, he felt a bit stunned.
Jordan quickly walked over to his side and opened the blood test images on his phone. Apart from the red and white blood cells, the values of various lymphocytes and other cells were slightly lower than normal
Alexander thought about the heartbreaking voice Aveline had when he left. What had he done?
He felt like he had lost his mind and answered slowly, “She has a fever.”
“This is not good. In this situation, she should seek medical attention immediately.”
“Prepare the car.”
Alexander remembered that in their previous meetings, Aveline always wrapped herself in thick down jackets, completely different from her usual self who only wore woolen coats.
So… she wasn’t just putting on a show.
She was really sick.
Alexander hurriedly wrapped her up in layers, afraid that even a slight breeze would get in.
Aveline’s cheeks were flushed from the fever, looking both pitiful and adorable.
She had had a fever before, so how did it become life threatening now?
As he held her, Alexander realized that she had lost a lot of weight compared to before, and his fingers
tightened.
Alexander rushed her to a private hospital overnight. Daniel came over with the blood test report and said, “Mr. Sterling, I have already understood the situation. Ms. Aveline’s condition is critical. She needs to be injected with white blood cell booster first.”
Alexander had been holding her all along, and Aveline was delirious from the fever.
She subconsciously held her stomach with one hand and reached out into the empty space with the
other.
“Alexander, save me, save our child.”
Her right hand was still attached to the IV needle, and Alexander quickly stopped her from touching it.
Aveline grabbed his hand as if it was her last lifeline. The anxiety on her face slowly dissipated, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. “Child, mommy has finally found you. Are you blaming mommy for not protecting you? Don’t worry, mommy will come to be with you soon.”
Alexander’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. “Jordan, go and bring the young master here. Just tell him that I miss him.”
“Yes,”
He was not someone who believed in fate. He only believed in himself in this lifetime.
But at this moment, hearing those ominous words from Aveline’s mouth, he started to panic. Although he had resented her because of his sister’s death, he had never thought that she would die!
Immediately, Alexander arranged a series of medical examinations for Aveline, and they would be conducted as soon as her fever subsided.
“Aveline, you will be fine. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
But the reality was not as simple as he had imagined. Daniel tried various methods, but the high fever just wouldn’t go down.
If it continued like this, there would only be one outcome.
Death.
“You useless fool! You can’t even bring down a fever!” Alexander was furious, grabbing Daniel’s collar and said, “If anything happens to her, I will withdraw all the funding for your research team.”
Daniel also felt wronged, “Mr. Sterling, it’s not that we don’t want to save her, but Ms. Aveline’s condition is special. She has already lost the will to live…”
“Nonsense.” Alexander’s icy eyes flickered with cold light.
That woman was like an invincible cockroach, with such strong willpower. Moreover, she had Anthony. How could she bear to leave Anthony behind?
Daniel helplessly explained, “Mr. Sterling, we are not shirking responsibility. The various functions of the human body are ultimately controlled by the brain. Most medical miracles are the result of a strong will
to survive. You should have experienced this yourself, even when the body is on the brink of death, as long as the brain still has hope for survival, miracles can happen. But Ms. Aveline… she has already given up hope for life, I’m afraid…”
