Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 151

Chapter 151 Is Me Still Unconscious?

Yuliana was stunned She replied. “Yes, I am. May I know who you are?”

The person responded, “This is Romdale General Hospital. Your husband has just been sent here and is currently in a coma. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible.”

Yuliana was dumbfounded and didn’t say anything for a few seconds.

The nurse noticed no sound on the other side of the phone, so she probed, “Madam, are you still listening to me?”

“I’m listening.” Yuliana came back to her senses as she gripped her phone tightly. She took a deep breath. “I’m here. Did you say my unconscious husband was sent to your hospital?”

The nurse answered, “Yes.”

Yuliana swallowed twice. Her voice was tense when she asked, “Is h-he in a life-threatening situation?”

The nurse replied in an orderly manner, “We are hot clear yet. The doctor is examining him now. We can only know the details after the examination is over. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible if it’s convenient for you.”

“Okay. I’m heading over now,” Yuliana said. After hanging up, she immediately threw her phone and returned to the room. However, she suddenly had second thoughts as she pondered, “Even if I book the fastest flight back to Romdale, it will probably be early morning by the time I reach Romdale, as I need a few hours to reach.”

Yuliana hesitated for a while before finally walking toward the living room to call Layla.

Layla had already gotten wind of the situation at Romdale when she received the call from Yuliana. However, she had no idea how badly hurt Christopher was.

“Don’t worry, Yuliana. Christopher will be fine!” Layla comforted her, adding, “I’ve contacted the people at Romdale to rush to the hospital! I’ve also booked a plane ticket and will fly there tonight. I’ll let you know if anything happens.”

Yuliana couldn’t control herself. She said, “Layla, I’ll go with you.” Her voice was so determined that she didn’t allow Layla to reject her.

Layla thought, “The current situation here at Romdale is quite complicated, and Christopher’s accident might be related to that project. I’m unsure whether he’s gravely hurt. For now, only Kendrick and I knew about this incident, and nobody else has found out yet. Especially our parents.”

However, Layla did not expect that the hospital would inform Yuliana directly. As Yuliana was pregnant, it was inappropriate for her to rush to the hospital.

Layla was silent momentarily before saying, “But what about your condition-”

“I’m fine,” Yuliana interrupted. “Don’t worry, Layla. I’ll take care of myself. I won’t cause you any trouble.” There was nothing more that Layla could say to object to Yuliana. She remarked, “Get Hailey to pack your stuff for you. I’ll pick you up and head to the airport together!”

It was almost early morning when Yuliana and Layla rushed to Romdale.

Layla had already arranged for someone to fetch them at the hospital. After getting off the plane, Layla and Yuliana took another 40 minutes to arrive at Romdale General Hospital.

When the women arrived at the entrance, a few men in their forties were waiting for them. They immediately hurried forward to greet Layla when they saw her

Layla glanced at them coldly as she briefly introduced Yuliana. Then, with Lincoln leading the way, they strode toward the emergency department.

“How’s the situation in there?” Layla asked, her tone cold and stern.

Lincoln hurriedly replied, “The doctor has examined Mr. Solace. His head was badly hurt, so he was stitched with over ten needles. According to the doctor, he also has a light concussion. As for the symptoms, we will have to wait until Mr. Solace wakes up before further examination can be carried out. Even though his body has varying degrees of minor injuries, his condition is not life-threatening”

Yuliana sighed with relief upon hearing Lincoln’s words. She couldn’t help asking. “Is he still unconscious?”

Hearing Yuliana’s voice, Lincoln turned to look at her. Even though Layla had introduced Yuliana to them, she didn’t tell them who Yuliana was.

Lincoln thought, “I’m sure she is not just any woman if she shows up with Layla. This woman is beautiful, though. She’s just the type of woman I like.”

Noticing Lincoln’s gaze, Yuliana stared at him straight. Her eyes were big and clear as if she could see through a person’s thoughts.

Startled, Lincoln hurriedly looked away. He replied, “Yes.”

Yuliana didn’t speak further. She followed them into the ward quietly.

A pale-faced Christopher lay in bed at the ward. Layers of bandages wrapped around his head with red blood oozing out of them terrifyingly. He was so quiet and motionless, like he was a lifeless toy.

Yuliana had never seen Christopher in such a state before. She felt an ache rising within her chest.

Lincoln asked the people beside him to bring the doctor over. Then, Layla started questioning the doctor about Christopher’s condition.

Yuliana sat by the bed and listened to their conversation without a word. All this while, her eyes were fixed on Christopher’s face.

After the doctor left, Layla asked Lincoln and the others to leave the room.

Layla stood by the bed and stared at Christopher for a while. She frowned as heartache and anger filled her face.

Layla thought, “Christopher has never suffered such a serious injury since childhood. Someone has to pay for doing this to him!”

Layla glanced at Yuliana as she tried to ease the hostility on her face. “Yuliana, I will send someone to bring you to the hotel, since Christopher’s condition is not life-threatening. You can rest up there, as it’s not comfortable to stay in a hospital.”

Yuliana glanced at the time, voicing, “It’s almost 2 a.m. now. There’s no point in rushing here and there. I’ll stay here tonight. We shall see what happens after dawn.”

Layla finally figured out the truth about Yuliana’s temperament. Yuliana would not change her mind once she decided something, no matter how others tried to persuade her.

Layla answered, “Okay then! I still have some things to deal with, so I can’t stay back. But I’ll ask my assistant to stay here with you. Just let him know if you need anything.”

Yuliana nodded. “Okay.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Layla stayed in the ward for a while longer before leaving.

Lincoln, Howard, Timothy, and Cameron were all standing outside. Their faces immediately tensed up when they saw Layla leaving the ward.

Layla asked, “What happened to Christopher?”

Lincoln shivered, meeting Layla’s gaze. He opened his mouth to speak as he placed his eyes on Cameron. “We don’t know the details. Mr. Solace went out with Mr. Sinew during the night of the accident. We only discovered that Mr. Solace had got into an accident when we received a call from Mr. Sinew.”

“Mr. Sinew?” Layla glanced at the other three men.

Cameron stepped forward immediately. “Ms. Solace, I did go out with Mr. Solace on the night of the accident. However, he took a call halfway through, so I didn’t tag along with him. It was then that Mr. Solace had an accident.”

Layla asked, “Have you checked the surveillance cameras yet?”

Cameron pursed his lips. That spot is a surveillance camera’s blind spot.”

“So we don’t have any clue?” Layla sneered, her face darkening. She didn’t speak for a long moment as the atmosphere in the quiet corridor became dense with tension

“Let’s call the police,” Layla then instructed. “Since we don’t have any clue what happened, we will let the police do their job.”

Lincoln lowered his eyes, exchanging glances with the others. He replied, “Okay, Ms. Solace. I’ll call the police right away.”
