Chapter 204 Choosing between the Mother and the Child
Chapter 204 Choosing between the Mother and the Child
"Yes, father. I'll put it on later." Lisa called James Mu "father" tentatively. She had no idea what Linda
used to call him.
James simply nodded and made no other response, So it was a correct guess. Linda did call James
"father."
Although Charles really wanted to keep Linda company at home, he had been trapped in a heavy work
schedule recently.
After helping Linda settle down, he had to go back to the company for endless and exhausting
meetings.
Afraid of being found out, Lisa dared not distract him. She quietly enjoyed the privilege and happiness
of being "Lady Mu, " and half a month passed by quickly.
Pain. In the darkness, pain seemed to be the only sensation Linda knew. It was so horrifically painful
that her body was trembling.
She didn't know how to cope with it.
She could still hear Amy Qi's voice.
"Linda Xia, why did you appear in Charles' life? If it weren't for you, I would have married him. Did you
know that?"
"I hate you, bitch. Go to hell and stay there forever!"
Every word she said kept haunting Linda relentlessly.
In the exclusive hospital of the Nalan Clan in SH City.
"How's Linda now? Why is she still in coma? It's been two days already."
In the doctor's office, a grey-haired old man in seemingly in good health was speaking. He looked far
from pleased.
"My Lord, we've been trying every possible treatment. But the wounds on Lady Nalan's face and other
parts of her body are swollen from drowning. Her life is still at risk."
His grave face turning pale, Lord Nalan smashed his walking stick against the floor. "If you can't save
her life, you will no longer be qualified to be the leading doctor of this hospital!"
"We will spare no efforts, My Lord! Please give us more time."
"Obviously, Lord Nalan cares a lot about his granddaughter. I've never seen him so concerned before."
Doctor Wang understood how he felt, so he bowed to Lord Narang without another word and went back
to the ICU.
Half a day passed, but Linda still hadn't regained consciousness.
"Lord Nalan, you might need to know that pregnancy could be the the reason why Lady Nalan isn't
regaining consciousness. It's possible that you might have to choose between the mother or the child
one day. If you choose Lady Nalan, the probability of her waking up would be 20% higher."
The doctor knew that Linda was pregnant the day she was brought here, but it was getting complicated
now.
Lord Nalan never expected to be faced with such a dilemma, but he chose to save his granddaughter,
as it should be. Moreover, he was told that the Mu Clan was responsible for all the suffering Linda was
going through.
"After what Charles Mu did to my granddaughter, there's no point in keeping his child."
"Apparently, moral integrity is not in the Mu Clan's genes. It was a wise decision to stop Linda's mother
from marrying James Mu."
"If you have to make a choice, Linda is your priority." Lord Narang said solemnly after contemplating on
it.
Doctor Jack Wang was the leading doctor of the exclusive Narang Clan hospital.
He gave a nod of resignation and went back to ICU again to check on Linda.
"Lady Nalan has been in a coma for two days.
If she still won't wake up tomorrow, it's likely that she would stay in a persistent vegetative state.
It must be unacceptable for Lord Nalan."
Doctor Wang decided to give his best efforts.
Currently in the ICU, Linda was laying on the bed quietly, breathing through a connected tube. Her face
was covered with a gauze and she was dressed in clean clothes.
Recalling the day Lord Nalan brought her to the hospital, Doctor Wang had to admit he was shocked.
There were a dozen cuts on her face, swollen with blood and dirt that resulted from being in the water
for too long.
It was a horrific scene. He couldn't imagine who on earth would do this to her. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
How deeply was she hated?
According to Lord Nalan, Linda had been underwater for over 30 seconds before she was rescued.
If the rescue came 10 or 20 seconds later, Linda might have passed out underwater, which could have
led to a fatal flow of water from her nose to her lungs.
Fortunately, Linda was a good swimmer. She unconscionably held breath underwater, giving her a slim
chance of survival.
The situation was still not promising, especially now that she was pregnant.
After Doctor Wang left Lord Nalan alone in the lounge, he got lost in his thoughts.
He never thought about disturbing Linda from her peaceful life, Though he really wanted to bring her
home when the Mu Clan planned to arrange for her marriage.
When Sherry died and Linda went missing that year, Lord Narang was so upset that he cut himself off
from the Xia Clan.
Of course, it was all in the past...
