She hurriedly walked over and squatted down to check on Rachel’s condition. She saw that Rachel’s eyes were closed and her face was pale. There was a palm print on her face, and the upper right part of her forehead was red and swollen, as if it was caused by something.
Her heart sank, and she gently patted Rachel’s shoulder and called Mrs. Barron twice. She didn’t see any reaction. She hurriedly checked her breathing and heartbeat. Both of them were very weak. She couldn’t help but be more anxious. She shouted twice, took out her mobile phone from the purse she brought with her, and dialed 120 emergency calls.
When she called, Riya also came up. As soon as she saw the situation in the room, she jumped up. “Oh, Miss. Stone, what did you do to Madam? Did you hit her?”
Amber hung up the phone and frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about? I saw her lying on the ground as soon as I came in. I don’t know what’s going on.”
Riya stared at her suspiciously. “It’s impossible. When I left, Madam was still fine. How could she fall to the ground for no reason? Look, there’s a palm print on her face. You must have just come in and hit her and pushed her to the ground. How could you do this?”
“I didn’t. Don’t talk nonsense.” Amber was anxious and angry. He really didn’t expect that he would be misunderstood like this. He glanced at Rachel, who was unconscious. She knew that it was not the time to argue. It was more important to save her first.
She asked Riya to carefully turn over Rachel’s body and wrap her head aside. Then she picked up the quilt on the bed and covered her with it to prevent her from getting cold and worsening her injury.
She was doing this, but Riya shouted and went downstairs, shouting, “Come on, Madam fainted, come on!”
Amber ignored her. She picked up her phone and dialed Rodney’s number.
“Amber, why are you looking for me?” Rodney’s voice was full of joy. It was rare for Amber to take the initiative to call him. No wonder he was so happy.
Amber bit his lip and said, “Rodney, I’m at your house now. Your mother fainted. Come back quickly.”
Rodney sucked in a breath of cold air. “What did you say? What happened to my mother?”
“I don’t know what’s going on either. You’d better come back as soon as possible!” At this time, Amber couldn’t explain what had happened clearly in a few words. Amber decided to wait for Rodney to come back and explain it to him in person.
On the other side of the phone, Rodney said eagerly, “Okay, I’ll go back right away. Have you called an ambulance?”
“It has been called. The ambulance should arrive soon.”
The phone was hung up, and there were footsteps and noises outside the door. Riya ran upstairs again, followed by Ryan and a security guard, who were specially driving for Rachel by the Barron family.
Riya pointed at Rachel and said to Ryan and the others, “Take Madam to the hospital quickly.”
Amber quickly stopped her. “Her head is injured now. She can’t be touched casually. She has to wait for the doctor to come.”
“There is some distance between the hospital and us. We don’t know how long it will take for them to come. Why don’t we send it by ourselves?” Riya said as she pushed Ryan’s arm. “Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and lift Madam.”
“I told you to wait for the doctor to come. Why don’t you listen to me?” Amber stopped him.
“It was she who made Madam like this. She can’t listen to her. Hurry up and send her to the hospital. Hurry up!” Riya didn’t listen.
“Riya, are you in charge of this mess?” Amber was angry.
Seeing that Riya did not speak after hearing her words, she picked up the phone and called Rodney. “Mr. Barron, come back quickly, Madam passed out.”
About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived. The medical staff did a preliminary check on Rachel. They carefully carried her onto a stretcher and sent her to the car. Then, they hung the medicine and put it in an oxygen bag.
Amber and Riya followed the ambulance to the The First Hospital. On the way, Amber called Rodney again and asked him to go straight to the hospital.
When they arrived at the The First Hospital, Rachel was sent to the emergency room for further examination. At this time, Rodney and Deon also came over. He was very familiar with the director of the The First Hospital. On the way, he had already called the director. The director immediately called the most experienced chief doctor in the scar department to treat Rachel. He also came to command the rescue personally.
After the examination, Rachel was diagnosed as seriously injured. Her head was hit by a heavy object, or she fell and started to bleed. She needed immediate surgery.
Rodney was called to the office by the doctor to sign for the operation. Amber stood at the door of the office, worried about Rachel.
Soon, Rachel was pushed into the operating room. Rodney, Deon, Amber and Riya were waiting at the door of the operating room. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Just now, Rodney was busy handling all kinds of procedures for Rachel’s academy entry operation. He had no time to ask about the reason for Rachel’s injury in detail. Now, he calmed down and sat down. He looked at Amber and asked, “Amber, how did my mother get hurt?”
Before Amber could speak, Riya, who was sitting beside her, said angrily, “Mr. Barron, it must be Miss. Stone who pushed Madam to the ground and hurt her.”
Amber looked at Riya in astonishment. “Nonsense. I didn’t push her.”
Rodney looked at Riya and then looked at Amber. He frowned and asked, “What’s going on? Amber, tell me.”
Amber glared at Riya and said to Rodney, “It’s like this. This afternoon, Riya suddenly went to me with a insulated box. She said that your mother made bird’s nest for me and wanted me to eat it in front of her. I opened it and saw that there was a hidden red flower in it. You should know that drinking the hidden red flower would result in a miscarriage, right? I didn’t eat it. Instead, I went to your house with the bird’s nest. I wanted to ask your mother why she wanted to hurt the child in my belly. Unexpectedly, when I walked into your mother’s bedroom, I saw her lying unconscious on the ground. I called an ambulance in a hurry and called you again.”
“It’s not like that, Mr. Barron.” Riya hurriedly argued. “How could Madam put things like red flowers in the bird’s nest? Mel and the child in Miss. Stone’s belly are her grandsons. How could she hurt her grandson?”
Amber sneered. “I don’t know. You saw that there were red flowers in those bird’s nests. I didn’t wrong her. I didn’t expect her to be so vicious that she even wanted to hurt her grandson.”
Rodney’s face darkened. He looked sharply at Riya and asked in a deep voice, “Riya, is that true? Is there really a hidden red flower in the bird’s nest?”
Riya hesitated for a moment and said, “Madam made the bird’s nest herself. I don’t know if there is anything else in it. After she made it, she put it into the thermal container and asked me to send it to Miss. Stone. I also needed to see Miss. Stone eat it. I didn’t look at it at that time, so I sent it directly. Miss. Stone said that she was full and didn’t want to eat it for the time being. I asked her to pour out the bird’s nest and return the thermal container to me, so that I could go back and report to Madam. Miss. Stone took the bird’s nest into the house. After a while, she said that there was something wrong with the bird’s nest. She said there were hidden red flowers. I opened it and found that there were indeed hidden red flowers in it. But I don’t think Madam would do that. Mr. Barron, you have to check it out. Don’t let Madam be framed.”
Riya’s words clearly meant something. Amber heard it and felt a burst of anger in his heart. He glared at her and shouted at her, “What do you mean? Am I going to put red flowers in the bird’s nest to frame Mrs. Barron?”
Riya curled her lips and said, “I didn’t say that. Anyway, I believe that Madam will never hurt people. I really can’t figure out why this hidden red flower appeared out of nowhere.”
Amber said, “What did you come out of nowhere? You were the one who sent it here.”
“That’s enough. Stop arguing.” Rodney raised his hand to stop them from arguing. He already understood what was going on.
He only felt that this matter was too incredible. As Rachel’s son, he knew his own mother very well.
Although Rachel was irritable and domineering, she was not vicious. She would never put red flowers in the bird’s nest to hurt Amber, not to mention that the child in Amber’s belly was her grandson. If the
child was gone, Mel would not be saved. She wanted a grandson so much. How could she hurt her grandson?
As for Amber, Rodney was also very familiar with him. She was kind-hearted and open-minded, so she couldn’t do anything like deliberately putting red flowers in the bird’s nest to frame Rachel. But now, it really happened. How could he not feel strange?
Of course, he had to investigate this matter thoroughly, but the most important thing now was to figure out the cause of Rachel’s injury. He softened his tone and asked Amber, “Amber, you just said that when you walked into my mother’s bedroom, you saw her lying unconscious on the ground, didn’t you?”
Amber replied, “Yes, I came to your house with Riya. Originally, I wanted Riya to call your mother downstairs, and I waited for her in the living room. But Riya said that your mother took a nap upstairs and told me not to disturb her. I didn’t listen to her, so I went upstairs. I knocked on the door and no one paid attention to me. So I pushed the door open and saw your mother lying on the ground.”
Rodney nodded and asked Riya, “Riya, you just said that Amber pushed my mother to the ground. Did you see it with your own eyes?”
Riya said, “I didn’t see that. She aggressively argued with Madam. I was afraid that she would hurt Madam, so I told her that Madam had taken a nap upstairs. As a result, she rushed upstairs to question her. At this time, the phone rang, and I went to answer the phone. When I answered the phone, I saw Madam lying on the ground. She called 120. There was a palm print on Madam’s face. She must have hit Madam and pushed her to the ground, causing Madam to be injured and in a coma.”
Amber retorted excitedly, “Nonsense. I didn’t hit her or push her. When I went in and saw her lying on the ground, I called her a few times. When I saw that she was unconscious, I called you up. I didn’t quarrel with her at all.”
“Madam is in the room. How could she fall to the ground for no reason and even hurt her head? How can you explain this? It must be you who did it.”
“How would I know why she was injured and fell to the ground? If I said it wasn’t me, then it wasn’t me.”
The two of them began to argue again and again. Rodney’s expression became more and more ugly. Deon watched from the side and hurriedly said, “Miss. Stone, Riya, this is a hospital. It’s not good to make a big noise. I think we should talk about this later. When Mrs. Barron wakes up after the operation, she will naturally know what’s going on.”
“Yes, everything will be clear when my mother wakes up.” Rodney turned his eyes to the door of the operating room. Looking at the light on the door, he felt heavy in his heart. What happened today was too bizarre. Now his mind was in a mess and he didn’t want to think about anything. He only hoped that his mother could come out of the operating room safely.
