The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 259 A Seizure

Jacob suppressed the pain, and he took out his phone with trembling hands. But when he put his finger on the screen, he could not even tap on the phone. He was too weak.

He looked up, but there was no one else around.

His mouth turned pale inevitably.

His thoughts became complicated. Just when he thought that he would faint there and then, he heard a loud scream.

"Jacob, what's wrong?" Seth rushed forward and held him.

Seth...

Jacob smiled inevitably.

"How could you smile still?" Seth looked at him, sweating terribly. He became quite anxious.

He soon carried Jacob and rushed toward the garage.

"Jacob, let me warn you. Don’t let anything happen to you. You're an important person now. If something happens to you, there'll be so much work left undone. I can’t even hire somebody to replace you. Do you hear me..." Seth started to babble like usual.

Jacob was in pain. He rolled his eyes and said with much difficulty, "Shut up!" 2

After that, he rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

"How dare you ask me to shut up! You're really..." Seth was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet. But he soon fell and Jacob’s head was lying listlessly around his shoulders.

"Oh my gosh! Jacob, hold on!" Seth ran as fast as lightning.

It was an afternoon in the winter.

It was partially sunny. Susan leaned against the lawn and learned how to weave a towel from Mama Jean.

She did not have much to do during these few months. She just wanted to weave something for her baby.

"Here, you need to be careful with the needle. You need to weave it like this, just..." Mama Jean smiled and taught Susan some skills.

Susan listened to her attentively. Everything was just nice and peaceful. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

At that moment, her phone rang all of a sudden.

She smiled and picked up the phone, “Se..."

Before she could speak, Seth said hurriedly, "Susan, Jacob suddenly had a heart attack!"

A loud bang was heard.

She dropped her phone weakly on the floor.

She was filled with a deep shock and helplessness.

'He had a heart attack?

'Didn't the doctor say that his health was quite good these past few days? The doctor even claimed that he might not have a heart attack for years to come.

'Why did he have a seizure... all of a sudden?' i

"Susan, are you listening?”

"Yes, I'm listening." Susan picked up her phone." Where are you now? I'll be there right away."

Seth told her their location. Then, he said, "Susan, I actually don't want to worry you. But the doctor said that there's something which needs his family member’s approval. And you're Jacob’s only family member. I’ll tell Young Master Shaw about it too. Now please come as soon as possible."

"Alright," Susan said as she put on her coat.

At the First Central Hospital.

The driver sent Susan to the hospital in a rush. At the same time, Julian reached the hospital too.

"Julian." Susan sounded shaky as she called his name.

"Don’t worry. He'll be fine!" Julian consoled her softly.

Susan nodded. They rushed toward the emergency room which Seth mentioned as soon as possible.

"Susan, Julian, here you are." Seth seemed rather worried. He went toward them as soon as they arrived. "Jacob fainted all of a sudden. Now, the doctor

is giving him first aid treatment.”

Susan looked at the closed emergency door anxiously. She asked with a shaky voice, "What happened? He seems to be fine. Why did he faint all of a sudden?”

"I don't know either. I went out for a while. On my way home when I passed by the park in the neighborhood, I saw him there. He seemed to be in great pain. I carried him and rushed toward the hospital just now. He fainted there and then. But before he fainted, he asked me to shut up. Was I being too noisy?" Seth said gloomily.

At a time like this, Seth still could crack a joke...

"You really should shut up,” Julian said in annoyance.

Seth then went and squatted down in the corner as if h e was wronged deeply.

“Susie, don't worry. We'll know once the doctor is here,” Julian said in a deep voice.

In the past, Julian’s voice could always help her relax.

But this time around, the deep frown between her eyebrows did not seem to loosen at all.

Julian looked at her. He knew that he had no better way to console her now.

Jacob and Susan relied on each other since young. They had a strong relationship.

Now they were still unaware of Jacob's condition. No matter how he consoled her, Susan would never calm

down.

Julian only stretched his hand out toward her, wanting to give her some strength.

Susan held Julian's hand tightly. Unconsciously, she stabbed her fingers deep into his palm.

Julian did not even frown. He could only pat her hair softly.

Half an hour later, the door to the emergency room was opened. A nurse emerged from the room.

"Who’s the family of the patient?"

"I... I am." Susan released Julian's hand. She rushed forward nervously.

"Mr. Shelby had a sudden heart attack. It's critical now. Our suggestion is to do the surgery on him as soon as possible." The nurse looked at Susan solemnly. "You're his family member. If you agree to the surgery, please sign the consent form."

The nurse handed her the pen, and she got the pen from her. Her hand was trembling.

"Surgery... How high is the rate of success? What is his condition now?" Susan asked nervously.

The nurse replied, "Mr. Shelby’s condition is not good. He might have received some great blows. Now his entire respiratory system is messy, and his heart function is in complete disorder. He had a shock just now, but we managed to save him in time. However, if this continues, his condition will worsen."

"Then just do the surgery for him." Susan's voice became loud all of a sudden.

At that moment, she was only filled with one single thought. She must never let anything happen to her brother.

If something happened to Jacob, she did not know what would happen to her.

"If you agree to the surgery, we need to tell you a few things beforehand. This surgery is rather difficult, and the success rate of this surgery is only 60% at most. If it's successful, Mr. Shelby can lead his life like an ordinary person again. If it's a failure..." The nurse paused for a short while. "Mr. Shelby might not survive. The success rate is not high, and that's why w e couldn’t make a rash

decision on our own. You're his younger sister. So you need to decide whether you want him to have the surgery or not."

"60% success rate..." Susan murmured. Her eyes soon became teary. "Can't we increase the success rate?"

"What if the doctor who performs the surgery is Dr. Abraham Hack?" Julian asked all of a sudden.

"Dr. Hack? The most outstanding international heart specialist? If it's him, the success rate could be increased to 70%!" The nurse said hurriedly, "If you're able to ask Dr. Hack to perform the surgery, we'll definitely prepare an operating room for him to perform the surgery."
