"If anything happens to Daniel, can you take responsibility for it?"
The Harris family relatives who came along started to scold Mabel Quinn, but she didn’t say a word in response. Kyle Kinston stepped in front of Mabel and said, "Whatever needs to be said, wait until Daniel comes out of the Surgery Room."
Daniel’s father said to his relatives, "Enough, all quiet down. This is a Hospital. Just like Mr. Kinston said, everything should be talked about after Daniel is out of the Surgery Room."
With these words, Daniel’s father also revealed Kyle Kinston’s identity. Instantly, the Harris family relatives looked at Kyle with a mix of curiosity and suspicion, yet no one dared to say anything more.
At that moment, Daniel’s mother looked at Mabel with a helpless bitterness on her face. "So you’re Mabel Quinn... No wonder, no wonder Daniel wanted to protect you..."
He was her son; how could she not understand? Her son had specifically come to ask her about Drumbeat Village, and after the news about Grace Yowell broke, coupled with the blacklisting order, she asked her son and finally knew the complex twists. It turned out the woman who accompanied her son in Drumbeat Village and had saved his life by running up the mountain at midnight was named Mabel Quinn.
However... when her son discovered the truth, there was already someone by Mabel Quinn’s side.
Recently, Daniel’s mother watched as her son fell into a state of depression and dejection. She clearly understood that Mabel Quinn, to her son, was not merely a childhood companion who weathered storms together or a lifesaver.
Daniel’s mother’s words left Mabel feeling a mix of emotions, as if a thousand flavors were passing through her heart. "No wonder..." Those three words were so heavy.
The weight pressed on her, leaving her breathless.
Outside the Surgery Room, silence unknowingly descended, and no one spoke, each with their own thoughts. After about half an hour, the light in the Surgery Room finally went out, causing everyone’s heart to jolt as they gathered towards the entrance.
Soon after, the doors to the Surgery Room opened, and the doctor came out.
"Doctor, how is my son now?" Daniel’s mother asked anxiously.
"The patient is currently not in life-threatening danger, but due to the impact of the explosion’s aftershock, his optic nerve is damaged, and he has a concussion. As for the extent of his eyesight injury and brain condition, further observation is needed," the doctor said.
Daniel’s family appeared worried. Although his life was not in danger, the concussion and eye problems still caused great concern.
When the nurse pushed Daniel out, Mabel saw that his body was covered with bandages, and even his eyes were wrapped in white gauze. Chapters fırst released on noveⅼfire.net
He lay there quietly, with no trace of color on his face, like a broken doll. In that instant, tears slid down Mabel’s face.
Today, her fortune came at the cost of his misfortune. If he hadn’t rushed over, if he hadn’t thrown away the badge and the box, if he hadn’t protected her, shielding her from the brunt of the impact, maybe she wouldn’t even exist in this world now.
He said he gave his life to her, yet she owes him a life in return!
Mabel choked back her tears, looking at Daniel.
Daniel’s mother cast a thoughtful glance at Mabel Quinn, then followed Daniel’s gurney away, with the rest of the Harris family trailing behind.
Mabel instinctively wanted to follow but was pulled back by Kyle Kinston.
