Chapter 70 Nora was pregnant. Isaac’s Choice
Nora was rushed to the hospital. The doctors conducted an urgent examination on her. Afterwards, the attending physician found Mortimer and said,
"The patient is severely injured. There are hardly any intact patches of skin on the front of her body. These wounds are all deep cuts and some have even been salted. We need to perform thorough cleansing and some areas need stitching as well.
"If not treated promptly, she might not only die from excessive blood loss but also from wound infection.
"However, regardless of the procedure, it will be very painful. She must be given general anesthesia, which is also slightly harmful to the body. But..."
Mortimer asked in a grave tone, "Then give her the anesthesia and immediately treat her wounds!"
The doctor looked troubled and said, "But the patient is pregnant. Anesthesia cannot be administered, and regular medications for wound treatment can't be used either, as they might cause miscarriage or deformities in the fetus.
"Moreover, there are already signs of miscarriage, and in order to save the fetus, we need to perform emergency measures to stabilize the pregnancy before treating the adult's injuries.
"If delayed for too long, there might also be risks for the adult.
"Even if the adult is lucky enough to avoid any danger, there will be severe scarring due to delayed wound treatment.
"So now, I need to seek the family's opinion. Should we prioritize treating the adult immediately or save the fetus first, and then address the adult's injuries?"
"What did you say? She's pregnant?" Mortimer's pupils shrank, and he instinctively clenched his fists.
The doctor said, "Yes, she is still in the early stages of pregnancy, about two weeks. She probably hasn't even experienced any pregnancy symptoms yet. She might not have even realized she was pregnant."
Mortimer's face turned grim. Nora was pregnant. Was she carrying Isaac's child? He squeezed his fists tighter, his veins popping on the back of his hand.
"Sir, you are the patient's husband, right? Please make a decision quickly. If you agree to prioritize saving the pregnant woman, please sign this consent form, and we will immediately begin the rescue procedure."
Mortimer took a deep breath, accepted the document and pen from the doctor, and without hesitation, signed his name.
"Every effort was made to save the patient, no matter what, it had to be ensured that she would be okay, that the child didn't matter anymore."
He didn't care about the child's fate.
He only hoped that Nora would be safe.
It wasn't because the child wasn't his, but because Nora was the person he cared about the most.
Even if the child inside her was his, he would without hesitation choose to save the adult.
In this world, there was no one's life more important than hers.
"Okay." The doctor took the file and immediately prepared to enter the operating room.
Just at that moment.
"Stop!"
A cold and angry shout suddenly came from behind.
A dangerous and eerie air quickly spread.
The terrifying intimidation instantly filled the entire hospital corridor, making the doctor feel like he couldn't even breathe.
The doctor turned around and saw a man who was noble and handsome, as if he were a god, walking towards him with a cold aura.
"I am Nora's family member. Even if a surgical consent form needs to be signed, it should be signed by me, not him."
Mortimer stiffened when he heard this voice.
He turned around and saw Isaac, who was emitting a cold aura, coming towards him as if possessed by a demon, exuding danger.
"What? You're the patient's family member, then what about him..." The doctor looked at Mortimer, then at Isaac, confusion filling his eyes.
Isaac took out a marriage certificate and unfolded it, handing it to the doctor, "Take a good look. I am the husband of the woman in here, while this person next to me is just a stranger."
Upon careful examination, the doctor realized that the woman in the marriage certificate looked exactly like the patient in the resuscitation room.
Only then did he realize that he had mistaken the patient's family member.
The doctor quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I was careless. I saw that it was this gentleman who brought the patient to the hospital and was so concerned about her, so I thought he was the patient's husband."
"Now that you are the patient's husband, please sign this surgical consent form!"
Isaac lowered his gaze and glanced at the surgical notification.
Nora was actually pregnant!
Isaac's body became even colder, and his face turned extremely livid.
"Sir?" The doctor saw that he didn't respond for a long time, suppressed his fear, and mustered up the courage to call out.
Isaac snapped back to reality and let out a cold laugh, "Do everything possible to save the child!"
The doctor was taken aback.
After a few seconds of silence, the doctor finally regained his senses and quickly said, "The adult's condition is very critical at the moment. If her injuries are not prioritized, the wounds on her body may become infected."
"Once the wounds are infected, the entire immune system will be severely compromised, posing a very grave danger."
"That might cost the patient her life!"
"And if there were any problems with the patient's body, even if they were able to save the child now, the child would eventually miscarry due to the mother's weakness..."
Isaac narrowed his eyes dangerously, a cold aura seeping from the corners of his eyes. "Save the child!"
"If anything happens to the child, the entire hospital will be buried with me!"
The doctor trembled in fear.
Just then, the hospital director rushed over in a hurry.
The director slapped the doctor hard and shouted, "This is Isaac we're talking about! Didn't you hear what Isaac said? What are you still doing here? Hurry up and go in to save the pregnant woman!"
"You better take this seriously. Even if you die, you cannot let anything happen to Isaac's child!"
The doctor's eyes widened in shock.
This terrifying man, who was like a devil, turned out to be Isaac, the heir of the largest family in Europe?
He had heard of Isaac's reputation a long time ago.
If he offended Isaac, there would be no place for him in all of Europe!
"Yes...yes, I'll go now!" The doctor hurriedly ran into the emergency room.
The director approached Isaac with a fawning expression, ready to flatter a few words.
However, before he could say anything, Mortimer pushed him aside.
Mortimer looked at Isaac with bloodshot eyes, his usually gentle and refined voice trembling violently, laced with restrained anger.
"Isaac, now is not the time to be angry. Haven't you seen how many injuries Nora has suffered? Do you not realize how dangerous she is right now?"
"If we prioritize saving the child, Nora's life will be at risk!"
Isaac looked coldly at Mortimer and sneered. "So what? How much is her life worth?"
Mortimer's breath hitched.
In his warm eyes, a flame of anger ignited.
He reached out and grabbed Isaac's collar, looking at him with bloodshot eyes. "Isaac, how could you say such things?"
"Do you know how much Nora has sacrificed for you?"
Isaac coldly retorted, "No matter how much she sacrifices for me, it can never make up for the harm she has caused me, nor can it repay the sin of killing my child with her own hands!"
"She has already killed one of my children. This child must be saved!"
