The Runaway Groom
Chapter 811

As Finn dropped to a crouch beside Dennis to check his vitals, Irene started to apply first aid since she knew Dennis's condition.

However, she noticed that something was amiss when she checked Dennis's heart rate.

Still, she calmly looked up at Finn and said, "Call an ambulance... Never mind. That would take too much time—ijust carry him out of here.”

"Okay." Finn fully trusted Irene now and quickly did what he was told. Irene helped him move Dennis over his back before running ahead and arranging for Eagle to get the car ready. Soon, Finn got Dennis in the car, while Eagle drove all of them to the hospital.

Thanks to Irene's quick response, Dennis was rescued in time.

“Is Director Turner going to be alright?" Finn asked.

Irene simply stayed silent, her expression somber.

After all, she knew that Dennis was in bad shape—his life was at risk. "Why aren't you saying anything, Director Spencer?" Finn asked, staring at her just then. "Is it serious?"

Irene remained silent—she must stay calm, and her mind must be rational.

Finally turning toward Finn, she told him to bring the artificial heart they developed, leaving him stunned.

“Is it that serious? And the artificial heart is still in the test phase. It shouldn't be used i,n humans..."

“It's just in case, and I'm worried that Mr. Turner is going to need it." Irene certainly knew that there was no telling if Dennis would survive this.

"But—"

"Just go," Irene said, cutting him short—she did not have time to explain, and Dennis's chances of survival depended on every second they had!

When Finn still hesitated, Irene urged, “Go. I'm here to keep an eye on things." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Finn lingered for another moment before turning and starting to run. Irene called out from behind him, “Take my car. Tell Eagle to drive you." Taxis would take too much time.

That was when the sliding doors to the operating room opened and a nurse stepped outside. “Is the patient's family here?"

Irene approached her. "l am.”

"The patient's condition is serious. The doctor will be with you shortly to explain his condition. Please wait here in the meantime."

Irene nodded. "Okay."

Around ten minutes later, the doors opened again. This time, a doctor in green scrubs, face mask, and surgical cap appeared, taking off the mask when he saw Irene. "Are you the patient's family?"

Irene noodded. "Yes."

"The patient's heart rate accelerated past 170 beats per minute, which in turn led to low blood pressure. He's in pretty bad shape since cardiac arrests are exceedingly dangerous, and it was fortunate that you got him here in time, or he would have been beyond saving.”

Irene was aware of Dennis's condition, so the doctor's diagnosis was not surprising.

"Is there any method of treatment?" she asked calmly.

"Not at the moment..."

"Wouldn't an artificial heart resolve the patient's condition, as an equipment that takes the place of an organic heart for blood circulation?"

“Yes, but that technology is not at a viable phase in this country. It's a different story abroad.”

Irene helped the doctor's gaze. "I'm from Hotmesh Research. Would you perform the surgery if I provide an artificial heart?"

The doctor shook his head. "Wait, was the development successful? I haven't heard about it."

“It's in the test phase," Irene admitted.

"Wait..." Studying her then, the doctor asked, "Are you saying you want to implant it in the patient while it's still in the test phase?"

"With the lack of others, that's the only option,” Irene replied. "Absolutely not." The doctor refused right away, waving her off. "That is against regulations and unreliable. We're doctors, and we don't play around with a person's life. Moreover, I've never performed such a surgery myself, so it's not going to work."

The doctor just finished when a nurse came running out of the operating room. "Dr. Hall? Dr. Clegg is calling for you. The patient is in serious condition.”

Ray Hall turned and was about to leave, but Irene stopped him. "Wait. I will perform the surgery!"

Ray turned around again, staring at Irene in disbelief!
