Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 499: Mommy, how can you be so cruel...
In the sterile room, after the nurse discovered the anomaly, she immediately pressed the call bell.
Upon hearing the emergency bell, the doctor rushed over.
Seeing Victoria’s condition, they instantly began resuscitation.
Five minutes passed, Victoria did not wake up.
Ten minutes passed, Victoria still didn’t wake up.
Twenty minutes later, Victoria no longer showed signs of life...
Half an hour later, the doctor came out of the sterile room.
He looked at Serena Sterling, who was standing at the door, shook his head helplessly, and sadly announced, "I’m sorry, the patient died from sudden complications. We’ve done everything we could."
Serena widened her eyes, staring at the doctor in disbelief, "Impossible! What are you saying?"
With her face streaked with tears, she grabbed the doctor’s clothes excitedly and questioned: "Doctor, my mom was fine just now, wasn’t she? And you said the surgery was very successful, so what, what happened!"
After speaking, she continued to plead: "Doctor, I’m begging you, please save my mom, won’t you? She’s still lying there! Please go and save her..." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Even though doctors are used to life and death, facing family members like this each time remains difficult.
He looked at Serena, speaking helplessly, "I’m sorry, it’s not that we’re not trying; the patient lost vitality due to sudden oxygen deprivation in the brain, she can’t be saved anymore..."
"No way! This is impossible!" Serena couldn’t accept this cruel reality, "My mom was perfectly fine; the surgery before was also very successful, how is it possible she suddenly lost signs of life, I don’t believe it!"
The doctor looked at Serena, explaining helplessly, "The patient underwent a surgery to remove brain clots, and before the 24-hour observation period is over, there’s inherent danger."
After saying this, the doctor continued, "I understand how you feel right now, but the patient already lacks oxygen and her heart has stopped beating..."
Serena went mad, clutching the doctor’s clothes, "No way, no way! My mom can’t die, she promised me, how can she die! Go save her, save her!"
The doctor stood still, sympathetically glanced at Serena, and apologized once more, "I’m sorry, the patient has passed away, please take comfort."
"No!..." Serena screamed in madness, ultimately unable to bear the shock and fainted.
"Luna..." Malcom Moore cried out in distress, scooping the girl up in his arms.
Looking at the pale-faced girl in his embrace, even unconscious, with tears still lingering at the corners of her eyes, Malcom was heartbroken.
He knew the pain of losing a loved one.
At seven years old, when his mother passed away, his whole world went dark.
He cried and fussed all day long, refusing stubbornly to accept the fact of his mother’s death.
Although his father accompanied him, he remained heartbroken and sad for a long time, taking a very long time to accept that cruel fact,
and even longer to emerge from the pain of losing his mother.
He had his father with him, yet still it was like this, Luna’s grief is even more imaginable.
A year ago, to save his own father, Uncle Sterling unfortunately met his demise.
Then at Uncle Sterling’s funeral, he once saw Luna crying bitterly...
Back then, she at least had her mother accompanying her.
Now, within less than a year, her mother has also passed away; how can Luna bear such a blow...
But everything that has happened has already occurred, no matter how hard it is to accept, it is an irreversible fact... Though heartbroken, sad, the path meant to be taken still must proceed.
Malcom Moore tightly embraced the girl in his arms, heart aching, solemnly promising, "Luna, you still have me, you’ll always have me. I will always be by your side, always..."
Because Victoria did not survive the dangerous period after surgery, she left, leaving Serena alone.
When Serena woke from her coma, Victoria had already been wheeled out of the sterile room and into the mortuary.
At that time she was lying in the hospital ward, Malcom Moore beside her.
Serena opened her eyes, looked around at her surroundings, and asked Malcom, refusing to accept reality, "Malcom, where’s my mom? Has she woken up now?"
Malcom looked at the girl on the hospital bed, overwhelmed with sympathy, unsure of how to speak, yet compelled to say, "Luna, I know you’re hurting, but your mother has already gone..."
Before Malcom could finish speaking, Serena suddenly sat up.
She pulled out the needle from her hand at once, her eyes bloodshot red, looked at Malcom, and yelled hysterically, "Don’t say that, my mom was fine, she won’t have anything wrong!"
Malcom stepped forward, embracing Serena forcefully, "Wife, cry, cry as hard as you can."
Serena wailed, pounding Malcom’s chest with her fists, "No way, Mom wouldn’t leave me all alone! You’re lying to me, you’re all lying to me!"
She raised her head, her misty eyes and tear-drenched small face were miserably helpless as she looked at Malcom, "Malcom, speak up! Say none of this is true, say you’re lying to me!"
After speaking, before waiting for Malcom to respond, she hurriedly guaranteed, "Don’t worry, I won’t blame you for making such a big joke! Truly! As long as you tell me my mom is okay."
Malcom Moore: "..."
He also desperately wished he could tell the girl that it’s all a lie, it’s all just a joke, it all hasn’t happened, that her mother is still alive and well, yet...
Serena urged, "Malcom, say something! Say something!"
Malcom reached out, wiping away the tears continuously rolling from Serena’s eyes, "Luna, your mother has left, you needn’t do this."
Serena pushed Malcom away, her eyes raging, "Who wants you to tell me these things! I don’t want to hear them!"
Saying this, Serena once again grabbed Malcom’s hand, pleadingly saying, "Tell me it’s just a nightmare, tell me Mom’s fine, she’s still here, alright?"
Seeing Serena like this, Malcom was heartbroken, unable to breathe.
He held her tightly, speaking in a deep voice, "Luna, let’s go see your mother."
Inside the morgue, Victoria lay there peacefully and coldly.
When Serena saw her, at that instant, she cried with a breaking heart, "Mom, I was wrong, I’ll never be capricious again, please don’t leave, alright?..."
Malcom stepped forward, holding Serena, "Luna, I know it’s hard to accept, but your mother is gone, you must take comfort."
Serena paid no attention to Malcom, crying, "Mom, how could you be so cruel? How could you bear to leave me all alone in despair? We agreed, didn’t we? Once you’re well, I’m supposed to marry Malcom! How can you break your promise?"
