Chapter 278 - The fetus is in critical condition

Chris has been thinking about the girl. He really didn't mind much the first time, but Amanda kept inviting her along when they have an outing, which made him start noticing her more and more.

He had even driven her to her house once, since she fell into Amanda teasing and got drunk. She's trying her best not to get on Amanda bad side.

She didn't want the friendship to end, which Chris noticed. He love women for pleasure and not really interested in relationship, but he's thinking of trying it out with the girl.

She make him laugh. He find his mind drifting to her time to time, which made him smile subconsciously. It has gotten to the extent that people are asking if he fell in love or something.

But before wooing the girl, he's curious about what made her change so much. That's why he decided to pick Ethan from the airport, so that they could talk about it.

…..

Ethan sniff brought him back from his memory Lane, as he has started crying again.

"Dude calm down." Chris said worriedly.

They drove inside an hospital premises, while Diana was rushed inside the emergency unit.

While doing all they can for her in the room, Chris was busy calming his friend, who insisted that he wanted to go inside with the doctors.

"She will be fine Ethan, calm down and go get yourself treated." Chris persuaded, but Ethan refused.

Chris decided to go call for help, probably they could tend to his broken arm outside, since the arm has swell up, and his upper body is still bare in the open, with multiple wounds on them.

He look so miserable that Chris felt his heart broke for the situation. He hasn't walk too far when he heard a nurse saying, "sir, you can be in here."

He rushed back immediately to help them persuade Ethan out of the room. Forcing him to sit down, he pulled the heavy jacket he's putting on top of his T-shirt and ask him to cover himself at least.

Aside from his bruises, his body kept calling attention, making it awkward, as the dude isn't even in his right state of mind.

Seeing him not taking it, "do you want her to see you in this state and make her feel more hurt than she already is?" Chris asked.

Ethan turned his head and look at him. He seem to only respond well, when Diana name was mentioned. "you need to be healthy for her bro." Chris added, his eyes also getting bloodshot, as this is too heartwrenching.

Ethan paused his lips and took the jacket from him, before slipping it on. Chris tried to use same method to make him get treatment, but he refused.

He will only care about himself if Diana survive. For now, he still doubt that the girl hasn't left him.

Meanwhile inside the operating room, the doctors were sweating profusely as they were busy with Diana.

They have wasted a lot of time before coming for treatment, which has complicated everything. Coupled with the fact that she's carrying a baby, it's hard for them to fully perform the necessary surgery, without making her miscarried the baby completely, as it is a miracle that it survived despite Diana's current state.

Lots of blood bags were ushered in continuously, while they kept doing their best to save her.

After a few hours, which seem like eternity for Ethan, that was now burning hot from the pain from his wounds, while Chris now look just as miserable as his friend, as he's scared something bad might happen to Ethan, the door finally opened.

Instead of nurses that were going in and out to run errands, it's a doctor that shows up this time. Ethan got up, same as Chris.

Ethan just stare at the doctor's expression, as if trying to detect the bad news about Diana's death from it, which made Chris speak up instead.

"How is she doctor?" he asked.

"I won't say she's fine, but the surgery was successful, but there are few complications. Which one of you is the husband, we have to talk about the baby." the doctor replied, still dabbing his perspiration with a handkerchief.

'Baby?' both Chris and Ethan couldn't believe their ears.

Ethan couldn't believe the baby survived, while Chris couldn't believe his friend is going to be a father. He now understood why he seem like he has lost his mind. It's not only Diana, but his child as well.

Chris whispered into his ear that this is the time Diana and his child need him the most, so he need to be strong and pull himself together.

Hearing that the surgery was a success alone, made Ethan regained half of his lost mind. He nodded his head and finally spoke, "I am." he said and the doctor asked him to follow him.

Chris stayed outside the operating room,  while Diana was pushed out after a while, to the ward they prepared for her.

....

Meanwhile.

Ethan and the doctor were now sitting opposite each other in his office. The doctor began showing him Diana's chart on a large scream hung in the middle of the office, while both tilt their head to its direction.

The doctor kept explaining a lot of things about the situation to him, not making it too alienated, since Ethan isn't a medical expert.

The baby survived because Diana was clutching hard on her stomach, which made it impossible for much kicks to abort the baby, but that doesn't mean she still doesn't suffered a hit on her stomach and also with the way she was being kicked around like a ball.

While the doctor analyze, those scene replayed in Ethan's mind, which made all the doctors words make sense to him.

The fetus is in a critical condition right now. The doctor wanted to know if Ethan will like to get rid of the baby to make Diana recovery come sooner, or willing to let her keep the baby, while she will have to be under 100% medical care till she delivered the baby, because moving around to much can lead to the baby being forced into miscarriage, which might affect Diana's health more.

He want Ethan to make his decision as soon as possible, because they could just flush out the fetus during the second surgery they will be performing on Diana a few days after.
