Chapter 9: Loser
Chapter 9: Loser
In the hospital, Maria was sent to the operating room to be given emergency treatment.
Eddy Smith, Jane Allen and Catherine were waiting outside of the operating room, each with an anxious look.
Richard rushed over and asked anxiously, "How is it going?"
"Maria is seriously injured and the doctor is giving emergency treatment."
Catherine had a tremor in her voice and looked worriedly, "Maria suffered from leukemia. She has bled too much and needs transfusion vitally."
"Without an appropriate bone marrow, we may... lose our daughter."
She trembled with fear with tears welling up her eyes as she was speaking.
"Richard, you such a bastard. If you did not deliberately disturb, we would have already got James' bone marrow, and Maria would be fine!" Jane glared at Richard in extreme anger.
Eddy kept silent with mixed feelings.
"Mom, stop it." Catherine wept.
Richard went forward and held Catherine's hands, "There must be another suitable bone marrow except the one of James. How can my daughter use the blood of that bastard. She could use mine!"
At this moment, a doctor came over and said, "Who is the family member of Maria. The patient was in urgent need of blood transfusion, you need to donate blood right now."
"I share the same blood type with my daughter. I’ll go!" Richard immediately nodded.
In order to save his daughter, he went out to donate blood in time. Then he called Pierre to ask him to contact a prominent doctor specialized in bone marrow transplant in Country X to save her daughter.
"Lord, you are the best doctor in the world, aren’t you?" Pierre asked.
He remembered clearly that all of them would have died if it had not been for the treatment of Richard's acupuncture when they were in the Northwest War.
"Doctors never treat their own family. Find a doctor quickly!" Richard said.
He was a great doctor and could save lives, but now, the patient was his daughter.
Just looking at Maria's injuries, he was heart-broken and could not calm down.
If he made a mistake, then he would suffer all his life.
He could not risk his daughter's life.
An hour later, the operation succeeded, and Maria was wheeled out with many stitches on her body.
At this moment, she was bandaged and had several stitches on her head.
She looked so pitiful with her pale face and closed eyes.
At the sight of such scene, Richard’s eyes turned red.
Catherine even collapsed with tears covering her face.
"Doctor, is she alright?" she asked hastily.
"She's okay and fell asleep because of exhaustion." The doctor explained.
After hearing such words, Richard was relieved.
Maria was safe and transferred to the ward.
Catherine sat in front of the hospital bed, holding Maria's hands with a worried and distressed look.
This also made Richard's heart ache.
Looking at the frowned brow of Maria in sleep, he felt more painful.
At this moment, he hoped that he could bear all of the pain for her daughter.
Eddy suddenly asked, "Richard, what happened just now? Was that group of people and the chariots dispatched by you?"
Richard nodded, "Right, they are all my men."
A light of happiness flashed across Eddy's eyes, "Wow. What kind of achievements did you make in the past five years? For example, did you establish a big company?"
"I didn't have a big company or some big power. I just made friends with a few men who would like to come and help." Richard said modestly.
After hearing these words, Jane taunted, "I believe James' words that those people were actors hired by you."
"Do you think that we don't know what kind of person you are? You are just a loser, how could you have such power?"
How could the ordinary men fight against them?
"You are a jinx. Get out!"
"Rest assured, Charles could not be against me." Richard replied calmly.
"What can you do besides bragging? Why do you think Charles wouldn’t fight against you? Who do you think you are? The God?" Jane said indifferently.
Richard frowned. He didn't want to haggle over. Then he asked Catherine, "Honey, how much do we owe?"
Eddy said with an apologetic look, "Ten million."
They wanted to get rid of the control of Oliver Smith, the patriarch of the Smith family and went out to do business alone, but were framed by James and his men.
Thus, Catherine had to marry James to pay the debt and treat Maria.
Jane said sarcastically, "Richard, I warn you that you have ruined their wedding, so you need to pay the ten million!"
Richard looked calmly and nodded, "OK, I will pay."
He didn’t need to tell them some facts that his parents-in-law didn't know, as the more they knew, the more dangerous their situation would be. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"You are right, and you family should pay for it!"
At this moment, Oliver led Duke Smith and their men came here aggressively.
