The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 623

"Fine, I’ll help you!’ After Haze helped Joanna sit down, he rushed to the operating room and kicked the door open. "Stop the surgery right now! I’ll kill anyone who moves!"

"Okay, we’ll stop!" The surgeon and his assistant immediately put down their scalpels and raised their hands while squatting on the floor. The surgery was over, and they just needed to stitch the wound, but Quinton had unexpectedly fallen into a coma when he had only undergone partial anesthesia.

A few minutes later, the doctor Haze had phoned earlier rushed into the room, gasping for breath. ’Mr. Baldwin, what happened? I nearly had a heart attack trying to get here on time!"

Haze frowned then said briefly, "Mr. Cromwell, I’ll leave this in your hands. If you can save him, you’ll be the benefactor of my family, and you’ll be compensated well."

"Don’t worry, I can save him." Robert Cromwell quickly changed into a surgical gown and got to work.

Joanna was forced to wait again. She sobbed as she stared at the door of the surgery room. "Haze, is this doctor reliable? It’s my fault if anything happens to Quinton."

Haze said reassuringly, "If Mr. Cromwell said it’ll be okay, then it’ll be fine. Don’t worry."

Before long, Robert came out of the operating room with a solemn expression, and Joanna rushed over to him.

"Doctor Cromwell, how is my brother? Is he..." Joanna clenched her fists, her heart pounding in her chest. She didn’t even dare to ask.

"Er, I don’t know how to tell you..." Robert frowned and sighed repeatedly.

"Oh no... he’s gone!" Joanna wailed, nearly collapsing onto the floor. The doctor looked helpless, and that could only mean that Quinton must be...

"Mr. Cromwell, just tell us if he’s alive or not," Haze snarled at Robert impatiently. ’When did this man become so dramatic?’

"Yes, he’s alive. You can rest assured." Robert patted his chest confidently. "I’ll have to stop being a doctor if I can’t save him in this kind of condition."

"Why did you sigh then? It’s good news that he’s alive. You almost drove my friend mad!" Haze rolled his eyes in annoyance. He knew Joanna was distraught, and delaying wouldn’t help anything.

"He’s alive, but it’s the same as being dead..." Robert sighed again as he said sadly.

"What... What do you mean?" Joanna immediately became anxious again.

Robert hesitated for a long time, then finally said, "Yes, he’s out of danger, but his brain nerves are damaged because of the problem with the anesthesia. I can’t say how long he’ll be in a coma; it could take three days, five days, or even eight to ten years... You need to prepare yourselves for the worst."

"Eight... to ten years?" Joanna’s mind went blank. Her legs gave way, and she fainted. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Phoenix!" Haze steadied her again, then carried her in his arms.

"Joan... Joan, are you okay?" Clara cried out, gripping Joanna’s hand shakily. Overwhelmed with guilt, she sobbed, "It’s all my fault! Quinton was fine, and if I didn’t suggest this, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. If he doesn’t wake up again, I... I can only give up my life too."

"Okay, stop blaming yourself. All surgeries have risks, and this was completely unexpected. You and Phoenix need to calm down." Even as he comforted Clara, Haze looked down at Joanna in worry. ’Don’t worry, Phoenix. I’ll never let anything happen to your brother.’

Haze used his connections to transfer Quinton to the best hospital in the City. He even requested that Robert join the best medical team in that hospital to hasten Quinton’s recovery.

Joanna woke up in a hospital bed, and she stared at the white ceiling above her. Had she been dreaming?

"Joan, you’re awake. Thank God!" Clara had been by Joanna’s side the whole time, and her eyes were swollen from crying." I thought something happened to you... You scared me!"

Joanna gently held Clara’s hand and smiled weakly. "I just needed a nap. I’m fine."

Haze had just finished a discussion with the medical team, and was overjoyed to see that

Joanna was awake when he walked into the ward. "You’re finally awake. I’ll get you a medical team too if you need it."

He strode over to the bed and adjusted the transparent tube of the IV drip. "The doctor said you were overly worried and your blood sugar was low, so you fainted. You need to take better care of yourself, or you might get anaemia."

"I’m fine. I’m very healthy." Joanna pulled out the needle in her arm and shoved the blanket aside to get out of bed. She had been learning martial arts with her grandfather since young, so she was fit. She just had been through too much in the past two years, and after giving birth to two childJoan, her body was not as strong as before.

She had only fainted, but she was put on an IV drip. It was very humiliating to her.

"Where’s Quinton? How is he? He’s awake, right?" She had been worrying about Quinton even while she was out, so the first thing she wanted to do after she woke up was ensure her brother’s safety.

"Your brother is fine, he just needs a bit of time to wake up. The medical team is discussing the best ways to treat him, and I believe they’ll come up with a solution soon," Haze said lightly. Quinton’s condition was actually much more serious than that, but he didn’t want to make Joanna worry.

"Really... Where is he? I want to see him." Joanna knew that she had to face reality.

"He’s still in the ICU, and family isn’t allowed to visit him for now but... You can stand outside and watch. Maybe it’ll give you peace of mind."

"Fine." Joanna nodded.

"I’ll go with you after this infusion," Haze said.

"It’s fine. I can go on my own."

"No, you have to listen to me this time. If you don’t finish this infusion, I won’t tell you which ward he’s in," Haze insisted.
