My unbelievable life with CATS (Con and Thief system)

Chapter 121: Surgery and Prayer


When Dylan and Aaron reached the entrance of the emergency room, the door suddenly opened. Several nurses and a doctor wheeled out Maya's bed; she looked unconscious, with oxygen on her face and an IV in her arm, heading toward the operating room. Dylan, shocked and panicked, immediately followed them with Aaron, but suddenly, Clara, who had just come out of the emergency room, pulled Dylan's arm from behind.

"Big Brother... Big Sister Maya is going to be okay, but her water broke, and because she's unconscious, it's dangerous for the baby. Now the doctor has to operate," Clara said.

"W-what? But why did she pass out?" Dylan asked, panicking.

"She was shocked and stressed out. According to the doctor, it's not immediately dangerous... but," Clara replied, looking down.

"But what?" Dylan asked.

"It seems Big Sister Maya won't be allowed to get pregnant again after this, because if she does, it could be dangerous. I didn't understand it too clearly because the doctor was talking to Big Sister Ellie earlier. Big Sister Ellie is at the administration office right now," Clara replied, looking down.

"Okay, I'm going to follow Maya to the operating room. You two please go back to the room," Dylan said.

"Alright, Big Brother. Stay calm and don't panic," Aaron said.

"Yeah, I know," Dylan replied.

Dylan immediately chased after Maya's bed as it was being pushed away. Aaron put his arm around the downcast Clara.

"Why didn't you just tell him straight out?" Aaron asked.

"Let the doctor or Big Sister Ellie tell him. I didn't have the courage," Clara replied.

"Alright, fine," Aaron replied.

Meanwhile, in front of the operating room, Dylan, who was trying to force his way in, was stopped by a nurse.

"Why can't I go in? My wife is in there!" Dylan yelled, panicking.

"I'm sorry, sir, but this is the operating room. We need to perform surgery to deliver your child from your wife. Please understand and wait outside," the nurse said.

Before Dylan could protest again, the nurse quickly closed the door. Dylan raised his hand, intending to knock hard on the door, but he stopped himself and lowered his hand. He ended up just pacing back and forth in front of the door, occasionally looking at the indicator light above it.

"Dylan!"

Dylan turned to see Ellie approaching him, carrying some documents in her hand. Dylan immediately ran up to Ellie and helped her sit down. After that, Ellie handed the documents to Dylan. It turned out the documents were consent forms for emergency surgery, already signed by Dylan himself.

"Huh? I gave consent?" Dylan asked, shocked.

"Yes, you went into the emergency room earlier and signed it," Ellie replied.

"Hey... KATS, was that you?" Dylan asked in his head.

[I apologize, sir. I did it because it was an emergency and because I was sure you would have done the same thing.]

Dylan immediately fell silent. He realized he would have done the same thing, as he wanted the best for Maya and their child. Then he turned back to Ellie.

"What was the doctor's analysis?" Dylan asked.

"You know Maya has hereditary hypertension?" Ellie asked.

"Yeah, she was told every time she went to the OB, and they gave her medicine so it wouldn't affect her pregnancy. Besides that, I also took her to see another doctor to lower her blood pressure and buy the medicine. That's why I asked Maya to always be at home so she wouldn't be too stressed, and if she wanted to go out, I'd always take her. Why?" Dylan asked.

"Well... she got too stressed and suddenly her blood pressure spiked. That's what caused her to faint. We both know Maya is easily provoked, right? Her adrenaline surged when she met Charles, especially since she was almost harmed by Charles just now. When she was brought to the emergency room, the doctor gave her an injection to lower her high blood pressure, and they can only perform the surgery once her blood pressure goes down," Ellie replied.

"So, Maya hasn't been operated on yet. But this isn't dangerous, is it?" Dylan asked, turning to look at the operating room.

"The doctor only said he would try his best and save both of them," Ellie replied.

"Oh, God," Dylan muttered, burying his face in both hands.

Ellie fell silent. She hugged Dylan next to her and shed tears. They both prayed that Maya and her child would be safe without any complications.

[I will protect them, sir. Don't worry.]

"Please, KATS, save Maya and Abigail," Dylan said, resigned.

[Understood, sir. Leave everything to me.]

Dylan uncovered his face. He wiped his tears and put his arm around Ellie, who was crying next to him, stroking her hair and holding her swollen belly. Then he stared straight ahead, and his face instantly became furious.

"Charles, if anything happens to Maya, don't you dare think I'll let you off easy. I will definitely destroy and end you," Dylan thought in his heart.

Meanwhile, in the room, Lena, holding Caleb, and Amy, holding Tania, were silent, not saying anything. They just stared at their children's faces. Fiona and Iris sat next to Amy's bed, looking at Tania and playfully teasing her, while Megan supervised everything and acted as their bodyguard.

"I hope Maya is okay," Lena murmured.

"Yeah, I'm praying for the best too," Amy added.

Suddenly the door opened. Megan, who was guarding them, immediately turned to look at the door, as did Fiona, Iris, Lena, and Amy. Aaron and Clara walked in, then sat in the chairs next to Lena's bed. Seeing Aaron and Clara's faces, Lena immediately asked,

"How is Maya?" Lena asked.

Clara immediately told Lena and Amy everything. Both were instantly shocked to hear it and unconsciously shed tears. Both immediately wanted to get out of bed. Lena handed Caleb to Clara, while Amy handed Tania to Fiona and Iris, frightening the two girls. But before either of them could move, Megan stood between them and held both of their shoulders.

"Don't. You two stay put. You need to rest," Megan said, smiling, but it wasn't a pleasant smile.

"But," Lena started.

"Please don't go anywhere and don't argue with me," Megan said, cutting Lena off.

"Alright, I understand," Lena replied.

"Good. Now, calm down," Megan replied, standing up straight again but not moving from her spot.

"Big Sister... please take Tania back," Fiona said.

"I'm afraid I'll drop her," Iris added.

"Yeah, I'm sorry," Amy replied, taking Tania back from them.

Then Clara also gave Caleb back to Lena. The atmosphere in the room fell silent as no one spoke at all. Even Caleb and Tania seemed calm and asleep, unaware of what was happening and the tension around them. Suddenly the door opened. Dylan returned, helping Ellie, who was holding her stomach. After sitting Ellie down in the middle, between Lena and Amy's beds, Dylan left the room again without saying anything.

"Where is Big Brother going now?" Aaron asked.

"He wants to wait in front of the operating room. I wanted to wait with him, actually, but he was worried about my condition," Ellie replied, looking down.

"You should just rest here, Big Sister," Clara replied.

"Ellie, how is Maya?" Amy asked anxiously.

"Please tell me and Amy," Lena added.

Ellie was silent for a moment, then she wiped her face so that she wouldn't look like she was crying. After that, she turned to look at Lena and Amy.

"It's okay. I'm sure Maya and Abigail will be fine," Ellie said, forcing a smile.

Seeing Ellie's forced smile, Lena and Amy immediately forced themselves to sit up straight, then both hugged Ellie, who was in the middle between their beds. Aaron immediately put his arm around the crying Clara next to him, while Fiona and Iris sat quietly, still staring at Tania sleeping in her bassinet. Their faces also looked sad. The atmosphere became silent again because no one spoke anymore, but suddenly Megan turned to look at the door and then turned back toward the door. Then she turned and walked toward the window, looking out after opening the curtain. Her eyes were directed downwards.

"Paul, Roger, can you hear me?" Megan asked.

"Yeah, we hear you," Roger replied.

"What's up, Megan?" Paul asked.

"Please guard the outer gate. It looks like we're going to have guests again," Megan said.

"Oh... I see. Alright, I'm ready," Roger replied.

"Okay, I'll be on standby in the motorcycle parking lot," Paul replied.

"I'm leaving it to you guys, okay?" Megan replied.

"Done," Paul and Roger replied in unison.

Then Megan turned to look at Lena, Amy, Ellie, Aaron, Clara, Fiona, and Iris. She smiled with a straight face, then turned and looked back at the tightly closed door.

"Whoever tries to get in here will be my problem, and I won't let them past that door," Megan thought to herself, continuing to stare at the door without blinking.
