Chapter 1590
[ 559 words ]
Massive hemorrhage?
The joy radiating through the group instantly vanished, their faces draining of color.
“Celine—” Warren’s mind went blank, and he instinctively lunged for the doors. “Hold him back.” Shanley’s gaze turned icy as he barked an order.
Felton and Flint immediately restrained the frantic man.
“Let me go!” Warren struggled desperately, only one thought echoing in his mind. He needed to see Celine. He had to be with her.
“Calm down.” Shanley strode forward, gripping Warren’s shoulder, his voice sharp and commanding. “It’s chaos in there right now. Going in will only get in the way. Why do you think Juniper told you to wait outside?”
“The operating room is freezing, and she hates the cold. She must be so terrified. I just want to be with her.”
Warren’s voice cracked. His bloodshot eyes were filled with unspeakable agony. “Shanley, you know exactly how terrified I am.”
“I know.” Shanley let out a heavy sigh, wrestling with his own emotions. “But I also trust Juniper. With her in there, Celine will make it.”
“I trust her too.” Warren’s strength gave out, and he slumped weakly against the wall, utterly desolate.
The others weren’t faring any better.
Theia and Silas collapsed into the waiting chairs, their minds entirely blank.
“Jimmie, I’m scared.”
Luella looked down at the adorable baby in her arms, her eyes welling up with tears.
“She’ll pull through.”
Jimmie pressed a kiss to her forehead, murmuring softly, “Look how cute the little guy is. So rosy-cheeked, just like his mom.”
“Yeah.”
Luella nodded, gently stroking his beautiful little face. “Be a good boy. We’re going to wait right here for Mommy to come out.”
Arthur opened his eyes, blinked at her, and lay quietly in her arms.
Inside the operating room.
Juniper stood in her blue sterile scrubs, her pure white gloves now drenched in crimson.
She gripped the scalpel, her focus razor-sharp as she operated. “Push the meds.” “Right away.”
The assisting doctor immediately injected the medication into Celine’s IV line.
“Ms. Payne, the bleeding is too heavy. The transfusions can’t keep up.”
Juniper glanced at the lifeless woman with her eyes clamped shut. Beads of sweat rolled down Juniper’s temples.
“Initiate cardiopulmonary bypass,” Juniper ordered, her voice raspy. “Don’t just stand there, hurry!”
“Yes, Doctor.”
The team, momentarily stunned, scrambled to systematically set up the bypass. Within minutes.
The bypass was active, and the ghastly pallor of Celine’s face slowly regained a faint trace of color.
“Hemostatic forceps.’

Juniper checked the monitors. Both the heart rate and oxygen levels were gradually stabilizing.
“Here.”
The doctor nodded, but as they turned to hand over the forceps, they collided with a nurse carrying sterile gauze.
“Crash”
The instruments clattered to the floor. The blood-soaked gauze blossomed against the tiles like a striking, sinister red flower.
Juniper’s heart hammered against
her ribs, but her hands didn’t tremble

In a split second, the entire operating room fell dead silent. Everyone stared at Juniper in absolute terror.
Oh god. Her glare was enough to freeze the blood in their veins.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!” The two staff members stammered, paralyzed by fear.
“Clean it up, now!” Another doctor

forceps into Junipers hand and

and said in a low voice,
“Gut the thread.”

“Done,” the assisting doctor replied.
Juniper took two steps back, keeping her eyes locked on the surgical site to monitor
the bleeding.
