Chapter 72 Adams in ICU
When the ambulance reached the hospital, it was raining outside.
Anaya held the umbrella to cover Adams on the stretcher, while she was exposed to the rain.
She followed the medical staff upstairs and was finally stopped in front of the operating room,
“Please wait outside.”
After saying this, the doctor closed the door of the operating room.
Anaya stood at the door of the operating room, motionless.
Yarden walked over and put away his usual arrogance. He said softly, “Anaya, don‘t worry. Mr. Dutt
will be fine.”
Anaya was stil the same as when she was in the old house, not responding to his words.
She only hoped that Adams would be able to come out safely.
Anaya was too tired to pay attention to other things
She didn’t want to experience the pain of losing her family in her previous life again so quickly
Anaya wanted to let her grandfather see her run the company well.
Anaya wanted to be the one that her grandfather could rely on.
But in the end, she didn‘t manage to do it.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind poured in from the window, slapping Anaya’s dress full of rain and dirt, taking away her temperature.
Yarden wanted to remind Anaya to go back and change her clothes, but in the end, he did not
speak
Yarden knew that Anaya would not agree.
After an unknown period of time, more than ten people came out of the elevator.
Frank‘s family and other distant relatives of the Dutt family rushed over.
They surrounded Anaya and asked her about Adams’s situation.
“Anaya, how is Mr. Dutt?”
“How long has it been since Mr. Dutt entered the operating room?”
“Was he still conscious when he entered?”
People asked questions about Adams together, making a lot of noise. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Anaya’s cold gaze fell on those people. “Whoever says one more word will be banished.”
There was no fluctuation in her tone, and her voice was terrifyingly calm.
No one dared to ask any more questions. They walked to the side and sat down to wait.
Vivianna complained softly, “What kind of attitude is that? We’re also very worried about Mr. Dutt.”
“That‘s right. Does she think that she‘s the only one who cares about Mr. Dutt?”
“We came here at night. Why should we put up with her?”
Yarden was sitting next to them. When he heard their conversation, he stretched out his long legs and kicked the iron garbage can next to him, making a loud noise.
“If you continue to talk nonsense, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
After that, the corridor was completely quiet.
Two hours later, it was already midnight.
Adams was pushed out of the operating room and directly entered the ICU. Anaya only saw Adams in a hurry on the road.
When the doctor came out of the ICU, Anaya immediately grabbed him. She did not speak for a
long time, and her voice was hoarse.
“How is my grandfather?”
Your first aid measures are very correct. With a timely rescue, there should be no problem, but the risk still exists. For the time being, he needs to be observed in the ICU for a few days.”
“Do you know the reason for his illness?”
Adams’s condition had already been stabilized, and there must be a reason for his sudden illness tonight
Upon hearing her question, Frank, who was following behind, changed his expression slightly.
The doctor said, “We found the remains of Astirin in his intestine. This medicine can cause nodal
tachycardia in a short period of time and lead to heart disease.
“We initially believed that the patient mistakenly ate this medicine. As for the specific results, we
still have to wait for the follow-up assessment.
Astirin?”
Anaya recalled.
She remembered all the medicine in Adams‘s medicine bag. However, she never saw this medicine.
If Adams had not taken the initiative to eat it, then there might be someone who wanted to kill him
and put this medicine in his food or drink.
There were over a hundred people gathered at the old residence today, but not many people had a
motive.
The most likely person would be...
She looked coldly at Frank and his family.
Frank naturally knew what her gaze meant. He forced himself to be calm. “Anaya, are you doubting
us? We are Mr. Dutt’s relatives. How could we do such a thing?”
Anaya had no expression on her face from beginning to end. She looked at them as if she was looking at some objects.
“I‘ll get someone to investigate. I hope it has nothing to do with you.”
Originally, Anaya was not mature enough to deal with Frank and his family.
However, if the person who hurt Adams was Frank, even if Anaya had to risk her life, she would still make this bastard pay the price.
Frank felt guilty under her gaze, but he still maintained the kindness of an elder. “Anaya, you stay here tonight. We will come back tomorrow to take care of Mr. Dutt.”
There’s no need
Anaya had no trust in this family at all. How could she hand Adams over to them?
“1 don’t blame you for your nonsense since Mr. Dutt is so sick,” Frank said with a tolerant look. “Take
care of yourself. We‘ll come back tomorrow.”
Anaya did not reply, and Frank didn‘t want to say anything else. He left with his family.
Anaya stood outside the ward all night,
The sun rose in the east, and warm sunlight shone in through the window.
Anaya’s hands and feet were cold, and her lips were abnormally pale. Besides, her body temperature was abnormally high.
“Ms. Dutt.”
Someone called out to her. Before Anaya could see who it was, she had a blackout and fainted.
Even though Anaya had been unconscious, she could feel the familiar herbal fragrance wrapped around her.
Anaya finally calmed down.
Yarden fell asleep on the chair, and when he woke up, he saw Anaya being carried away by a man.
Yarden wanted to catch up, but he was stopped.
“Mr. Simpson, please wait.”
Jayden, why are you here?” Yarden was slightly surprised when he saw Jayden.
The Simpson family had business dealings with Prudential Group. Yarden had followed his father
to the company to learn management for a period of time when he was overseas. During that
time, he had met Jayden.
Yarden had only heard that part of Prudential Group’s business had been moved back to America,
but he had not expected that Jayden would also come back.
Since Jayden had come, then...
“Has Mr. Helms returned to the country?”
Yarden had never seen Jared before. Just like the others, Yarden was somewhat curious.
Jayden did not answer his question, only saying, “Ms. Dutt is temporarily under our care. Please excuse me.”
After Jayden finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Yarden wanted to catch up, but he was stopped by the bodyguards again.
“Mr. Simpson, we won‘t hurt Ms. Dutt. Please rest assured.”
Yarden was silent for a moment. In the end, he didn’t chase after them.
Yarden had met Jayden a few times and knew what Jayden was like.
However, Yarden wondered, how are Jayden and Anaya related?
As for the man who carried Anaya away... Could it be Jared?
When Anaya woke up, there was no one in the room.
The bedroom was decorated in black and white. Anaya recognized that this was Hearst’s room.
Anaya felt dizzy. She put the quilt away and got off the bed. She held the wall and walked out of the bedroom.
There was no one in the living room.
Anaya was thirsty and staggered to the water dispenser, finding a cup to pour water into.
There were only a few drops of water coming out.
There was no water in the bucket.
Anaya stood where she was for quite a while before entering the kitchen again, and finding a kettle
to boil water.
She was feeble, so she only filled half a pot of water.
Closing the lid of the kettle, Anaya turned to put the kettle on the induction cooker.
However, as soon as Anaya turned around, her vision suddenly blurred, and her hands were feeble for a moment. The kettle fell to the ground.
Anaya was frightened and jumped to the side. She slipped and fell next to the pool of water.
Anaya tried to get up but fell back to the ground.
After repeating this a few times, Anaya stopped struggling and sat there.
For some reason, her vision became blurry.
“Ana!”
