Thirty minutes later, the operating room door was closed. However, it has been felt for hours for Mike who waited with a restless and troubled heart. His mind revolved with many words if that flashed. Had he not ignored his intuition and let his guard down because the criminals had paused from their activities stalking Regina, had he prepared more men to look after his wife, and many other ifs that kept changing came to his troubled mind.
The sound of baby crying was heard slowly from the direction in the operating room. Mike turned his back and stared at the door that remained closed. He sobbed loudly.
"Derek, is that my daughter's voice? my daughter is ... Derek?" the man's chest shook violently.
"My little princess... Tell Mom, she must be strong. Please.. tell Mom.." Mike's cry became more and more, he sobbed hard and bitter. Derek just hugged her from behind without saying anything.
The sound of footsteps rushed over in haste. Evangeline arrives and stops her steps when she sees Mike sobbing on the floor with Derek hugging his shoulder and resting his head on Mike's shoulder. Eve's tears instantly rose, she shook her head slowly with eyes running around looking for Alex. The man was leaning against the wall with both hands crossed. Eve steps closer to Alex with tears in her eyes.
"Tell me. They're fine...."
Alex closed his eyes, two drops of tears escaped from his eyes that had been teary and held back tears. He extended an arm towards Eve who immediately stepped into her arms, Eve feeling like she was suffocating.
Alex grabbed Eve with both arms. Placing his chin to the top of Eve's sobbing head.
"How's...." Eve was unable to continue her words, her throat was stuffed.
"I really don't know, Ivy. They were already unconscious with blood soaking their bodies when we came."
"Oh my God...." Eve and Alex hugged each other and cried.
On the same floor of the hospital, in the surgery, Lance was waiting with Eloy Sanchez in front of a door. Weeping adorned the face of Eloy Sanchez, in her slow groan she prayed for the safety of her son and grandson. Eloy Sanchez looked old and very fragile in the wheelchair she was in. Lance who was standing next to him and leaning against the wall was unable to say anything. The happiness that the family had just obtained was again ravaged by the Evil Eleanor Montague.
After three hours passed, a nurse came out and told Eloy Sanchez and Lance that Lucius would be moved to the intensive room, through another doorway connected to the Recovery Room, Eloy and Lance enter and see Lucius who has been on top of the gurney, still unconscious with an oxygen mask perched covering his mouth and nose.
"Son...." Eloy whispered in her son's ear while sobbing.
"Sir. while this vital sign is stable and the condition is generally good. The act of not pulling the knife was very correct, so the bleeding could be minimized, he had also obtained a blood transfusion. However, we still need to monitor it intensively. Now we're gonna move him to the ICU."
Lance breathed a sigh of relief.he nodded at the doctor who asked him to speak. They let the nurses move Lucius.
After making sure his master Lucius is stable and has been moved, Lance pushes Eloy's wheelchair towards the door of Reggie's operating room.
Mike, who was already sitting in a long chair next to Eve and Derek, looked up when his wheelchair-in-law stopped at his feet.
"Dad, Lance, how's Lucius?" ask her with a hoarse voice.
"While the conditions are stable, sir. The doctor said in general it was good, the knife was removed and he had received a blood transfusion" Lance answered Mike's question.
Eloy Sanchez reached out and clasped her daughter-in-law's hands together. Mike returned the grip, sharing their grief and unease.
The sound of the door opening made everyone except Eloy immediately stand up and turn her head. The female doctor who was treating Regina had already stood up and removed the mask on her face.
"Sir... Your daughter is being handled by the intensive neonatology team. Her birth at 32 weeks makes your daughter have to be helped with breathing apparatus and treated in an incubator. Your wife will also soon be transferred to the Recovery Room, which is not good, sir. His blood pressure is too low, we've tried our best. The good news I can tell you right now is that the hysterectomy was not done, we were able to deal with the bleeding. However, his condition was critical, his vitals were variable and he still needed a lot of blood transfusions."
Derek and Alex hold onto the wobbly Mike. The man did not speak and responded to the doctor.
"I suggest you see it in the ICU room. We'll move him in a special room with his brother, Lord Lucius. You will also hear further notice of your daughter's condition...."
Mike was silent with a pale face, Derek finally told the doctor.
"Alright Doc. thanks," he said slowly. The doctor nodded and with a face full of support looked at Mike.
"I hope your wife can get through this critical period, sir.." whispered the doctor slowly.
**********
Mike follows a nurse to the Neonatus intensive care room, taking her to a glass case. In it, a baby so small was twitching and moaning slowly. A small hose is attached to both nostrils and connected to a breathing apparatus.
"This is your daughter, sir. I'm sorry, you can't carry her yet. He had to wear a breathing apparatus, and also his birth weight was low, only 1900 grams."
Mike nodded, staring at the incubator, where his daughter was groaning quietly. The nurse patted him on the back before leaving him near the incubator.
Mike reached out to touch the incubator cover. The baby is so small, the skin looks still very thin with a reddish color. As Mike's tears flowed, he stroked the glass of the incubator with his big palm, looking at his daughter with anguish and despair.
"My petite. forgive Daddy who can't protect you...."
