Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Father
‘He is scared to take responsibility,’ Ariana stared at Doctor Austin whose face was paler than hers with sweat dripping down from his forehead. He was scared and worried to take such a high-profile patient, she was too but——

Ariana glanced at the man on the stretcher as she muttered, “He will not survive until then.”

If they did not bring his vitals back, there was no way this patient would be able to wait until Doctor Avery returned.

“I will do the chest compressions,” Ariana turned to look at Nurse Mable and said to her, “Nurse Mable, can you secure the airway? And bring another nurse to administer endotracheal intubation. We also need someone to set up the IV and have the patient wheeled inside and connect him to the monitoring device.”

“What are you doing?” Doctor Austin asked Ariana who had given several orders like she knew what she was doing. “He is Emil Ashford, do you even know the consequences in case he loses his life?”

“To me, he is just another patient,” Ariana said to the man with a calm voice which she was faking as she was just as terrified at the sight of a pool of blood in front of her. “If you continue to worry about his identity, how will you treat him? Not to mention, you have taken a look at his reports, do you think he will survive until Doctor Avery returns? We will be wasting precious time by connecting him to ACLS alone. ”

With that, she turned on her feet and hurried after the nurses who had wheeled away the patient.

Doctor Austin stared at the woman who had left him behind and gritted his teeth before chasing after her.

She was right, in case the man died before the surgery could start, he would be blamed for medical malpractice and overlooking the patient’s condition.

“I will start with the chest compressions,” Ariana said to the nurses as her hands pressed against the man’s chest. “Inject Epinephrine every four minutes, don’t make a mistake.”

“Understood!” Nurse Mable, who was setting up the IV, spoke from the side.

“Have you prepared the defibrillator?”

“It’s ready.”

“Nurse Mable take charge of the defibrillator,” Ariana said as she started the compressions. She turned to Nurse Mable who nodded and said to everyone in the room, “Stand aside, 200 joules. Charge!”

However, nothing happened as everyone turned to look at the falling stats.

“Continue,” Ariana continued with the chest compression while Nurse Mable dealt with the defibrillator.

“Charging 200 joules!”

Snap.

“Thirteen, fourteen …fifteen,” Ariana pressed on the chest of the young man as she counted the number of compressions that she needed to perform before taking her hand away.

“200 joules, charge!”

‘What’s going on?’ She thought as she continued with her chest compressions. Ariana felt a throb in her heart as she watched the man slowly lose his life in front of her.

‘Please…please…for your family, come back!’ Ariana pleaded in her mind as sweat dripped from her forehead.

“Doctor Ariana if you are tired then I can take over,” Doctor Austin felt uncomfortable upon seeing how hard Ariana was working to rescue the patient.

“It’s alright…just a bit more … a bit more…”

Beep. Click.

“The vitals are back!” Nurse Mable exclaimed as everyone turned to look at the ECG.

“Oh, thank god,” Doctor Austin covered his forehead and sat down on the floor. Only he knew how scared he was when he was asked to deal with such a seriously injured patient on his first day as a resident doctor.

“Everyone good job, transfer the patient to the surgery theatre,” Doctor Avery, who had rushed inside the room, said to the nurses. “We will start with the surgery.”

Nicolai, on the other hand, arrived at his home, and as soon as he stepped out of his car, Patrick came running.

“Mister Nicolai, your mother has summoned you to her office,” Patrick relayed to him.

“Am I in trouble?” Nicolai questioned, starting to walk to where his mother was.

Patrick, who was striding behind him, hesitated before he pursed his lips and sucked in a deep breath. “Mister Flint is here, he——”

Patrick did not even finish what he was saying when Nicolai picked up his pace and rushed past the lobby and the corridor before arriving at the office where his mother usually worked.

He kicked open the door and marched inside the room.

“You have some fucking nerve to show your face in front of my mother again,” Nicolai growled in the face of the man whose neck was now in his hand. All he needed was to put a bit more strength and the neck of this beast would be snapped off his shoulders.

“Ughh! L…let cough…cough, let go of me! Inez, stop him!” Mister Flint coughed and spluttered as he looked at his ex-wife.

He dared not to go against Nicolai, who had turned into everything that he did not want him to become.

Inez closed her eyes as she signed another document. Her fingers held tightly onto the pen as she remarked calmly, “This is why I told you, you should have arranged for an appointment.” She then said to Nicolai, “Let him go, he is turning purple. It is a bit unsightly to watch.”

“Since you don’t like seeing his ugly face, why don’t I snap it off?” Nicolai questioned his mother; however, he still followed what she asked him to do and pushed the man away from his hand.

“Do I need to schedule an appointment to meet with my son?” Mister Flint was embarrassed as he stumbled a few steps behind. He turned to look at Inez and said to her, “I am his father as much as you are his mother——AHHH.”

He screamed in terror when Inez picked up the pen that had a sharp nip and hurled it at his face. The sharp end of the pen left a gash on his cheek which started to bleed two seconds later.

“Father? Dare you say those shameless words in front of me again?”
