“We want to save the patient too, sir, but you need to make a decision first,” the doctor
quickly explained. Nicholas had a bad feeling. His lips quivered as he asked, “What
decision?”
“In the event that we can’t save both, do you want to save the mother or the baby?” The
doctor grimly spelled out the two options. Nicholas rocked on his heels when he heard the
question. He couldn’t process what the doctor just said.
Thankfully, he avoided falling by clutching the wall beside him. He never thought he would
ever have to make such a painful decision.
One was the baby he couldn’t wait to meet, and the other was the love of his life. Even so,
he knew in his heart what his decision was.
The doctor could tell that Nicholas wasn’t doing well, so he asked concernedly, “Are you
alright, sir?”
“I’m fine. Hurry back in and save them! If it comes down to it, save the mother! Save my

It had taken all the strength in him to make this decision. The doctor immediately signaled
to the nurse beside him.
The nurse took out the hospital service agreement and handed it to Nicholas. “We need
you to sign this agreement before we can proceed with the surgery, sir.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Nicholas snatched the agreement from her and signed it
with his wobbling hand. “Can you go and save her now?”
He returned the signed agreement to the nurse and bellowed, “I want you to save my wife
and baby. I don’t care what you need to do! Make sure you save them!”
The nurse and doctor were both alarmed by Nicholas who seemed to be on the verge of
madness. The doctor nodded at once and said, “We’ll do our best. We’re bringing in the
blood she needs as we speak.”
Then, the doctor and nurse swiftly went back into the surgical theater. Nicholas looked at
the tightly shut doors. He punched the wall with his fist, his eyes bloodshot.
He never felt as powerless as he did now. At that very moment, he was willing to give up
his life in exchange for Tessa’s. He was willing to do whatever he could to ease her
suffering, regardless of the price he had to pay.
Nicholas blamed himself. Why did I ask Tessa to wait for me there? This wouldn’t have
happened if I brought her down to the parking lot with me. “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault!”
He mumbled to himself as he punched the wall over and over again. Soon, streaks of
blood showed up on the white wall.
The nurse nearby couldn’t bear to see him doing this any longer. She came over and tried
to talk to him. “Please calm down, sir.”
With the state that Nicholas was in, there was no way he would listen to her. His gaze was
dark and intimidating.
The nurse jumped in fright and scampered off. Just then, Timothy ran out of the elevator
with a heaving chest.

He had been on the phone with Tessa when she got into the accident and heard
everything that happened. Timothy looked around frantically, and when he finally spotted
Nicholas standing outside the surgical theater, he rushed over at once.
When he came nearer, he saw that Nicholas was covered in blood and his face grew even
paler. “Nicholas…” he called out.
Nicholas heard his name and looked up with his bloodshot eyes. He looked as if his soul
had been sucked out of him. Timothy grew even more fearful when he saw this.
He had never seen Nicholas in this state before, and his already unsettled heart started
pounding even more wildly. “How’s my sister doing, Nicholas?” he asked with a trembling
voice. Nicholas didn’t respond.
This only made Timothy even more anxious. “Talk to me, Nicholas! How’s Tessa doing? Is
she still alive?” he urged frantically. Nicholas clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He
didn’t know how to answer Timothy. In the end, Timothy had no choice but to turn
his attention to his nephew, who was still in a daze. “Gregory, tell me how your mother’s
doing. What’s her condition?”
