[Chapter 78]

Alex was driving through the streets at one hundred miles per hour.

Some of the other drivers on the road were scared, while some were confused by what was going on. Most of them pointed at his taillights and cursed at him. He didn't care about his life.

Alex ignored the red light at an intersection, and a man riding an electric bike had to swerve to avoid him. The man was sent sprawling, and by the time he got up, Alex was already some distance away.

They arrived at the General Hospital within twenty minutes.

"How many red lights did you run?" the car owner asked, his expression pained. "I'm going to lose my license!"

During the mad dash to the hospital, the car owner's heart had been in his mouth, and he had regretted letting Alex drive his car. No amount of money was worth risking death.

Alex didn't care about the car owner. He got out of the car and opened the back door to help Debbie out.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you," Alex assured the man. He had been driving the man's car, so Alex wouldn't let him get into any trouble. With that, he helped Debbie into the hospital.

When they arrived at the ICU, Sam was waiting outside the ward.

"Mr. Ambrose, Miss Stonehill, you made it," Sam said.

"What's going on?" Alex asked with a frown. Debbie had let go of him and dashed to the door of the ICU, worriedly looking in through the window.

A few doctors in white coats surrounded Carla, who was lying in a bed. From time to time, they checked the numbers on the machines, while a few nurses helped to make Carla comfortable.

The CEO of the General Hospital walked over, and when he saw Debbie looking in, he called out, "Close the blinds."

Sam had arranged for Carla to be seen immediately, and he had called in the most capable doctor to treat her.

"The patient is this girl's mother," Sam said, frowning.

Seeing Sam's expression, the CEO grew nervous. Sam thought highly of this girl.

"I'm sorry," he hurriedly apologized to Debbie. "I didn't mean to offend you."

Debbie barely heard a single word of what he was saying. The only thing she cared about was her mother.

Alex still didn't know what was wrong with Carla. He walked up beside Debbie and put an arm around her shoulders as she looked into the ward. She didn't say a word, but he could feel her body trembling.

More than an hour later, the doctors finished their treatment and walked out of the ICU.

"Doctor, how is my mother?" Debbie asked anxiously, stepping in front of Dr Henderson.

The doctor glanced at Sam, who nodded. Only after getting Sam's agreement did the doctor begin to tell Debbie about Carla's illness.

"Your mother's condition is very complicated," Dr Henderson said. "We've managed to stabilize her for now, but we'll need to consult with some of our colleagues."

Debbie was stunned. Her legs became weak, and she would have fallen to the ground if Alex hadn't been holding her up.

"Don't be afraid," Alex comforted her. "The doctor said that your mom is stable. Trust me, she'll be fine."

"I want to see her," Debbie said. She didn't want to listen anymore. She didn't feel at all reassured and just wanted to rush into the ICU.

"Miss, please calm down," the doctor said, holding out a hand to stop her. "Your mother is very weak right now, and she needs rest. Besides, she's not conscious at the moment, so even if you go in, she can't speak to you."
