Chapter 26 The Boy is Dead

For a moment, Helen’s brain became confused. Antony seemed to be saying something else, but she couldn’t hear anything. Her mind was full of ‘Paddy’ and ‘car accident’, those words. She subconsciously clenched her fists tightly, bit her lower lip, and her face turned pale. As she walked out of the entrance, she stopped a taxi, and realized that she hadn’t asked Antony where they were. When she thought about this, she dialed the previous number. But her phone fell under the seat because her hands were trembling. “Hello…” She heard Antony’s voice. “Where are you? The place…tell me.” Her voice trembled and choked up a bit. “Give the phone to the driver. I’ll tell him.” She didn’t know if Antony knew that she wasn't feeling right, so he let her give the phone to the driver. Later, Helen repeatedly asked the driver to hurry. “We have arrived, Miss.” Helen nodded and pushed to open the door. Then she remembered that she had to pay. Her hand trembled terribly as she held her bag. “It’s fine. There’s no need. Which family doesn’t have urgent matters?” Looking at her obvious condition, the driver got off, and helped her open the door, “The gentleman said that, it’s the hospital ahead.” The driver pointed straight ahead. Helen just noticed that the taxi had reached a hospital next to the sea. She heard the sound of ambulances. She nodded at the driver in panic. The sea breeze that blew in the winter was piercing through the bone. But, she didn’t feel cold at all, because her body had been completely cold. She didn’t even dare to ask Antony about Paddy’s condition earlier. She was afraid she couldn’t deal with it. In this world, he’s the only relative that she got. She didn’t know if she would still have the nerve to live if something happened to Paddy. She almost rushed to the emergency room. “Doctor, earlier there’s a boy who was in a car accident. Do you know where is he?” She tried not to sound shaken. The doctor removed the stethoscope, looked at her angrily, and said, “Do you still have a heart, as parents? How long has it been since your child get into the car accident? How can you just come now?” After speaking, he took Helen’s arm, and quickly walked toward the end of the corridor. “Get inside. The kid’s lung was punctured and he lost too much blood. We’ve tried our best.” He left Helen after speaking and walked away. Helen felt her blood froze and her lips trembled. She couldn’t control her feet and went inside. “Are you his family member?” She felt that someone wanted to drag her away. “Go away!” Helen stretched her hands and pushed the person aside. She climbed onto the hospital bed. The small body beneath her was cold and she felt that her heart would stop beating. How could he be gone this way? “Paddy, did you forget that you want to protect me your whole life? You said that you wanted to protect me when you grow up. How can you be gone? It was because of me, right? If I didn’t come to see you, didn’t come to find you, then, you won’t come out to look for me, and there would be no accident, right? Paddy, open your eyes and look at me, okay….?” She sobbed so much, her hands were trembling, and was about to lift the white cloth. When the doctor behind her saw it, he pulled her, “Don’t look. The child’s face was crushed out of shape. After you sign this, we will send him to the morgue.” The doctor behind Helen patted her back. Morgue? How could her son be sent to the morgue? She hasn’t even seen him grow up, hasn’t heard him calls her mother. How could she send him to the morgue? Helen turned around and grabbed that man’s collar. She glared and yelled at him, “Tell me, he’s not dead yet. Tell me!” Seeing her agitation, the doctor repeatedly comforted her, “If seeing the boy’s condition, death, might be a better option for him. Young lady, you should be open-minded.” “Better for him? He is still so young, how is this a better option? Are you even human?” Her cry seemed to have exhausted her and her voice echoed quickly in the emergency corridor. Then, there was a big and small figure ran over. “Miss, please listen to me. The boy is so young, when he was sent here, his lungs were punctured and he bled too much. We’ve already tried our best.” The doctor saw that Helen’s eyes turned red. He was afraid that she would behave aggressively, so his voice was shaken a bit. “How can you say that you’ve tried your best? He’s still so young. He’s still…” Before Helen could finish her words, she lost her consciousness. Her sight went dark. “Helen!” The small figure rushed over and followed by a tall man. He looked at the child and flicked his forehead, “Look at your bad idea.” “But you also didn’t object, right?” The child in the hospital gown muttered. When Helen woke up, she smelled the hospital disinfectant smell. She thought of what happened before she fainted, she quickly got up from the bed, pulled out the needle in her hand fiercely, and rushed out. At this time, it was already late at night. Antony had just put Paddy to sleep in the nursery room outside. This brat said that he wanted to keep watch on this woman. He had no choice but to stay here. When he was about to close his eyes, he squinted and saw the figure on the bed sat up, pulled the needle. Upon seeing this, he quickly rushed over and reached out to grab her. “What are you doing?” When Helen heard Antony’s voice, she froze, then turned her head. But when she saw that his expression was normal, she felt cold in her heart. She fixed her gaze on the man in front of her, her gaze was full of hatred. She clenched her fists and pounded on his chest repeatedly, “Antony, aren’t you very capable? Why don’t you save him? Why don’t you save him? He’s still so young. How could you do nothing…” Antony’s face sank. He glanced at Paddy, who was hiding behind the door. elled the hospital disinfectant smell.
