No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1194

Noelle hesitated for a while before eventually putting down her phone.

Cedric walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

She put her phone away, not wanting for him to see anything. "It's nothing."

But Cedric had already seen Carl's name on her phone. He could tell what Noelle was thinking.

He took her hand and said, "Believe in Mia. She'll definitely pull through."

Noelle could not hold herself straight and leaned into his arms.

There was only one thing that could make waiting for results be agonizing, which was waiting to see if someone made it between life and death.

Nobody knew just how much time had passed before the emergency room's doors finally opened.

A doctor walked out and said, "The surgery was very successful, but the patient will still be in critical condition for tonight. She'll most likely be fine if she makes it through tonight. We've already did our best, but if she ended up getting an infection—"

Eugene rushed forward. "What do you mean that you've already done your best?! Is this your fucking best?!"

Cedric pulled him back. "Don't be like this, Eugene. The doctor still needs to keep an eye on Mia's condition. Who's going to operate on her if you hurt him?"

Eugene immediately let go and pleaded with the doctor. "Please, save Mia."

The doctor let out a sigh and replied, "I'll do everything I can."

Noelle turned to the doctor and said, "Wait, what did you mean by infection?"

"The patient had several broken ribs that punctured her lungs. We did our absolute best during the surgery, but if she had gotten any infections, it could lead to multiple organ failures."

"Is there any way to prevent the infection from happening?" Noelle asked.

"With medicine, of course. We've already used the best medicine available, but we can't guarantee her safety completely."

Noelle turned around and walked away after hearing the doctor's explanation.

Noelle was standing by the stairwell with her phone out as she said, "I need your help."

She could not bear the thought of anything happening to her friend Mia.

Carl held up his phone on the other side of the call. "I thought you were calling me in such a hurry because something happened to you. Turns out it's for somebody else again. The last time this happened, it was for Mrs. Greene."

Noelle choked a little. "I don't want to lose anyone ever again."

Carl let out a sigh and replied, "Noelle, is it so serious that you really need me there?"

Noelle was truly terrified of losing Mia. "Carl, please. Please save my best friend! I don't want her to die!"

"Alright. I'll head back via a helicopter. Don't worry, Noelle. As long as I'm here, not even the grim reaper itself will be able to take her life."

After hanging up, Noelle sat down alone on the stairs and started crying.

Cedric just stood behind the wall. He could not help but light a cigarette for a drag.
