Chapter 436 Chapter 436 I am sorry
Madeline cannot stop crying, she was sobbing quietly and Crystal felt bad for her. Monica stood like a pillar for her but she was upset about the incident. The tension around them was high. Everyone seemed lost in their thoughts and afraid of losing Nora.
Nexus looked at distressed Crystal and gestured to her to get in a corner. Layer, he approached her and looked her into her eyes.
"What happened? How did Nora get fatally wounded? It is like someone tried to kill her. Was she Tiffany?" Nexus thought he knew Tiffany but he could be wrong about that girl. However, when Crystal shook her head when he took Tiffany's name, he felt a bit relieved.
"It wasn't between those girls? I assumed something had happened between them because I know how possessive Nora was with her possessions. But when I saw her in the bed, I felt depressed and aggressive. I expected a fight between the girls and assumed Tiffany had attacked Nora to protect herself. I wish if I knew something like this would happen, I had accompanied you to the place. But, if Tiffany and Nora had no bad blood outside, then how did this happen?" Nexus asked form crystal for the details of the attack.
"I myself know much in detail because when I reached the carriage, there was a sudden explosion, leaving Nora fatally wounded. There was this unknown enemy with whom I fought and no matter how much I tried to defeat him or was defeated once, he bounced back on the battlefield like he did not get beaten moments ago.
In fact, Tiffany's father and a police officer came to the rescue but it was hard to deal with that enemy alone. When he spotted all of us, he fled. Reaves told us about the enemy being an undead." Crystal explained to him.
It left Nexus in deep thoughts. He was correlating this incident with the one he got attacked. It seemed like the case was adjoining but there was still a lot they had to discover. He nodded his head and returned back to the outside of the operator room.
The healers were inside and almost an hour had passed. Madeline was praying for her daughter's well-being.
They were patiently waiting outside the operator room. Madeline refused to eat anything until her daughter was safe. She was shattered since she heard the news of Nora getting fatally stabbed by an enemy. She realized how much her daughter meant to her. Monica gave her mother strength by standing beside her.
"Mother! Please, stop crying! Nora will be alright, she will. You have trained us to be a fighter. I believe my sister won't give up. She was fighting with her wound in the chest and she was fighting for her life." Monica's word gave Madeline assurance that Nora would be fine and better.
After a couple of hours, the door of the operator room opened and the head of the healers stepped out. His gaze met with Madeline and they all stood, waiting for a comment from the healer.
"Is Nora fine? Did she survive?" Nexus asked in a low tone.
The healer exhaled deeply and remained paused for a moment and spoke, "I am glad to announce that the operation is successful. We saved princess Nora's life."
After hearing the good news, everyone felt a sudden rush of happiness that Nora's life was saved and they felt blessed more than anything else. Nexus was relieved after hearing it. Madeline cried with tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks.
Monica and Madeline hugged each other as they felt relieved after hearing the positive news. Madeline joined her hands and chanted, "Thank you for saving my daughter. I will always be in debt of your kindness." The healer blushed and sated.
"There is no need to thank me. It was my job to protect and save the princess. But, there is something else that I wanted to inform you about, Madam Russell." The healer said in concern which gathered everyone's attention.
Crystal and Nexus exchanged the looks and gazed back at the healer. "We did our best to remove the dark mana from the body. Almost ninety five percent of the dark energy was sucked out and we securely sutured the wound.
We have applied some herbs to treat the other minor injuries of her body but I am concerned about the little amount of dark mana left in her body.
We did our best to suck it out but were unable to do so. If we had pushed the limits further, it could have harmed the patient. For us, the life of our patient mattered the most. Although Madam Nora is stable and the wound will heal faster, I am afraid she will remain unconscious for a while." The healer announced the bad news to the family and it broke their heart.
"What? Why? Didn't you just say that the operation is a success and my sister is stable now. How come this took a twisting turn?" Monica did not believe what the healer said and demanded an explanation of the situation he informed them about.
"Like I said, we were able to extract ninety five percent of the dark mana from her body, but almost five percent of the dark mana is still inside her body.
The weapon with which she was attacked was laced with the poisonous mana, that's why the situation worsened too much. It penetrated into the deeper parts of the body and we cannot extract it as it will pose a threat to the patient's life."
The healer explained to Monica about the situation Nora was in. They cannot help Nora further.
"What has that been? Will she remain unconscious?" Madeline asked while stammering. She knew what the healer meant but she wanted to know her thoughts were right.
"She is in a coma right now. We cannot say whether she will wake up or not. If she wakes up, what will be her body's condition? How normally will she be able to function? There are so many possibilities in this case and worse one was, she might never wake up and remain vegetative in bed." The healer said with a heavy heart.
Nexus was heartbroken to hear what the healer had said about Nora. His fists clenched and he wanted to destroy everything around him. Losing Nora kept him on the edge. It wasn't because it was meant to happen but it was someone else's mistake that Nora was suffering from. He gritted his teeth and his knuckles turned white in aggression.
"I am sorry but it was the only thing I could do." the healer stated before leaving the family to grief alone.
Madeline was stiff after hearing those words and she fainted, losing her balance and almost fell on the floor. Nexus saw her getting collapsed and in time being, he caught her before Madeline could reach the floor and end up getting injured.
"Mother!!" Monica yelled and cried to see her mother collapsing in Nexus's arms.
'Do something!!!" Monica pleaded to Nexus, who carried Madeline in his arms and laid her in the bed. Crystal rubbed Madeline's feet to warm her cold body.
