Chapter 371: Chapter 350, Remember, I Want Mother and Child Safe!

Just about to speak, her phone rang. It was a call from Mario Jensen. Ivy Aretha’s face darkened and she quickly slid to answer the call. From the other side of the phone came Mario’s tense and trembling voice, "Ivy, can you please ask that divine doctor of Oliver Thompson, Lucas Sandy, to come over? I’m begging you!"

"Okay!" Since he even said please, it must be quite serious. Without thinking, Ivy agreed immediately. She then grabbed her car keys and asked, "Could you tell me what happened? Lucas went home yesterday, and it’ll probably take an hour on the fastest private jet!"

She wanted to suggest that if it was urgent, they might need to consider a second option!

"Get him over here right now! Lina fell and may give birth prematurely. The hospital seems unsure."

"Okay, don’t worry. I’ll get him on a private jet right away. Tell me which hospital, and I’ll head there now!"

When Ivy arrived at the hospital, Lina had already been forced into the delivery room. Mario was still putting on his sterile clothes. His forehead was sweating, and his face was as dark as ashes. As soon as he was about to enter the delivery room, he saw Ivy coming and hurriedly stepped out, looking panicked, "What’s the situation? Is Lucas coming?"

"I’ve already notified him, and he’ll be here in an hour at the earliest," Ivy replied, her voice tense. "How could this happen? What did the doctor say?"

"It’s all my fault; I didn’t watch her properly, and she was hit by someone!" Mario didn’t waste time with words. As soon as Ivy asked, he told her honestly. His voice, however, was tightened to the extreme, "The doctor says that there’s a high likelihood that the child won’t make it. And that’s the best-case scenario. Worst case, Lina..."

Toward the end of his trembling words, Mario choked and couldn’t say anything more. But Ivy understood from the crimson bloodshot eyes he had.

"Lina will be fine. Have the doctor hold on for an hour, and Lucas will be here soon. I’ll go to Michael’s hospital and bring the experts. They’ll be able to hold on for a while!"

"Alright!"

Mario agreed without hesitation. The accident happened when Lina was on her way to the set, so they chose the nearest hospital. Naturally, this hospital, although convenient, wasn’t the same quality as Michael Gordon’s hospital, where experts gathered. But there was no time to consider!

"Ivy, thank you. I need to be with her now!"

At this moment, not only did Lina need his company, but he also couldn’t trust anyone else, in case something went wrong!

"Go ahead, I’ll wait outside!"

Watching Mario enter, Ivy called Michael again. A minute later, Michael called back and told her not to worry; all obstetricians and gynecologists were twenty minutes away from the designated hospital.

After hanging up the phone, Ivy’s tightly-wound nerves finally relaxed a little. Just hold on for twenty minutes, Lina!

It was already three months, and more than eight months had passed. Hopefully, nothing would go wrong. From Mario’s tone, it seemed inevitable that Lina would give birth prematurely. Now, the priority was keeping both mother and child safe!

In the delivery room...

Lina, pale as a sheet, lay on the operating table. Her clothes were stained with scattered blood, and her forehead was covered in sweat. Her cracked, ashen lips were clenched tightly between her teeth. Mario was standing by her bed, watching her intently, "Lina, if you’re in pain, let it out!"

Lina didn’t answer, she just weakly glanced at Mario and shook her head, remaining silent in her suffering. She let the sweat on her forehead drip one drop at a time!

Mario felt his heart like it was being sliced with a knife, the wound felt likes it was filled with salt. The pain seeped into his bones and ripped away his soul. He bent down gently, kissed Lina’s forehead, and said, "Don’t worry, both the child and you will be okay!"

Lina had heard the doctor’s words on the ambulance, the situation didn’t seem good!

Lina still didn’t speak, her weak eyes fixed on him without moving. After a while, she tried to lift her eyelids, probably unable to muster the strength to say anything. Mario was seeing her this weak for the first time. She looked as fragile and pale as a dandelion that could be blown away by a gentle breeze at any moment!

"Mr. Jensen, the situation isn’t good. The child is slipping out..."

As the doctor spoke his words, Mario’s icy gaze swept over. The doctor, who was performing the fetal protection surgery, trembled, not managing to finish his sentence.

Seeing the doctor’s face change color as he trembled, Mario realized that his expression had frightened the doctor. And at this moment, the last thing a doctor needed was to be scared!

The more nervous they were, the more likely they were to make a mistake!

Lina was the one who would suffer. No matter what, they had to hold on for an hour and wait for Lucas to arrive!

"Speak!" Mario cleared his throat, trying to control the words that came out of his mouth so as not to startle the doctor. "What’s the situation now? Remember, I want both mother and child to be safe!"

He wanted both!

One was his child, the other his wife. The thought of having to make a choice scared him!

"But Mr. Jensen, at the moment, if we don’t remove the child in time, Lina could be in danger!"

The doctor looked at Mario somewhat helplessly but still told the truth. He knew who Mario was, but this situation couldn’t change because he was the eldest young master of the Jensen family.

"The child definitely can’t be saved?" Mario looked at the doctor, his hands in bloody gloves, as he asked hoarsely.

"It’s not that it’s impossible, but... if we try to save the child, Lina might suffer massive blood loss and die!"

Although, in such a situation, doctors would prefer to save the mother, the choice was still in the hands of the man. Many wealthy families cared more about children than women. That’s why many actresses had given birth to three children and managed to marry into wealthy families while they themselves could not.

He didn’t know if the Jensen family was one of those wealthy families.

"So right now, only one of them can be saved!" The doctor said with a trembling voice, looking very serious. "At present, the best we can do is this. I’m very sorry, Young Master Jensen, you have to make a decision now. We can’t delay any longer; if we do, there might be two deaths!"

"How long can we hold on at the latest?" Mario’s tightened lips had become a straight line, and his heart was pounding heavily with each breath.

"Twenty minutes is already the limit of our hospital’s ability!" The doctor could see that the man was reluctant to let go of the woman and surely wanted the child as well. After all, this was the Jensen family’s eldest grandson. The last time Mario’s mother was interviewed on a talk show, she was looking forward to the birth of her grandson!

Obviously, the child was a must!
