Chapter 101 Takes Deborah Away
The doctor explained without any emotion, “Mrs. Mullen’s mother signed the consent form.
“Due to severe abdominal trauma, Mrs. Mullen’s uterus ruptured, causing internal bleeding. In such a
situation, removal of the uterus was necessary to save her life.”
Ashton couldn’t keep calm. “But removing the uterus means she can never have children!”
The doctor, who was a newly appointed head of gynecology, couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Mullen, is that
really important?”
For women and couples, having children was indeed important.
But could it be compared to life? Did they need to make a choice?
Ashton had nowhere to vent his anger, and he angrily questioned Lydia, who followed him, “Why didn’t
you tell me? What right do you have to make decisions and sign the form?”
Lydia didn’t know where she got the courage from. Maybe it was seeing Deborah’s lifeless face.
After all, Lydia had raised Deborah for many years, treating her like her own daughter. It was her
maternal
instinct.
She looked at Ashton with hatred and no longer with fear. “Because I wanted my daughter to live a few
more days! If you had not signed the form, it would have meant death!”
If Joseph hadn’t brought her here in time, Ashton would still be arguing with the doctor about whose
fault it
was that Deborah donated her liver when she was close to death.
Lydia, with red eyes, loudly asked him, “What does my daughter owe you? She gave birth to your child,
and
you didn’t care about their lives.
“Now her second child was killed by you again, and she was almost beaten to death by your
grandfather.
“After she barely survived, you blame her for not keeping her uterus to have children. Do you have a
conscience? Even an animal wouldn’t be as heartless as you!”
She said that and then hysterically rushed towards Ashton.
Ashton tried to stop Lydia, but Joseph thought Ashton was going to hit Lydia, so he threw a punch to
help.
Lydia was truly angry and, unable to beat Ashton, went crazy, grabbing his clothes and biting and
pulling
him.
Ashton couldn’t shake her off, and Joseph stepped in again. Ashton took two hits, stumbled back, and
fell to the ground, looking embarrassed.
Deborah, on the hospital bed, erupted into a violent fit of coughing, causing the quarreling group to
pause.
It was only then that Ashton began to realize that something was amiss.

Deborah had lost the fetus in her womb, and her uterus was also removed. She was even injured by
Hector to
such an extent.
However, even after being out of the emergency room for so long, she hadn’t said a word and had
shown no expression or reaction.
Shouldn’t she be sad or angry? Shouldn’t she be screaming hysterically and cursing that Ashton and
Hector
are not human beings?
Ashton felt uneasy. His anger over Deborah’s hysterectomy had been cast aside for the moment.
He cautiously approached her bedside and asked, “Is there anything you want to eat or any discomfort
you’re
experiencing?”
Deborah just stared at him, her eyes unblinking.
After a while, she looked towards the doctor on the side and spoke calmly and softly, “I don’t want to
see
him.”
Ashton felt frustrated, but disregarding Deborah’s resistance, he walked over to her.
“If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. I’m right here. I know you have resentment in
your
heart.
“My grandfather was in a hurry because you meddled in the company’s affairs. This time it was him
who went too far, and I will discuss it with him later.”
Deborah’s breathing became rapid, and she suddenly started to gasp for air. Her pale face quickly
turned into a suffocating shade of blue.
She was enduring great pain but did not want to show it.
Joseph angrily lowered his voice. “Get out. She doesn’t want to see you. Are you deaf?”
Ashton’s face turned sour, and he stood still, unwilling to move.
Suddenly, the head doctor spoke up, “There’s one more thing. I don’t know if anyone is aware of this
yet. I just checked Mrs. Mullen’s medical records, and she was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer
at the end of last year.
“Other doctors said they remembered that Mrs. Mullen used to come and pick up her medication
herself. Mrs. Mullen should have already known, so there was no need to hide it from anyone, right?”
Ashton suddenly spoke up and stopped him mid-sentence, “You’re making things up. That’s
impossible!”
The new chief physician didn’t know Ashton yet, and his expression was becoming increasingly grim.
“Mr. Mullen, are you really her husband? Why do you always show such abnormal reactions to her
situation?”
His wife had to have her uterus removed to save her life, but he did not feel grateful that she had
survived.

Instead, he angrily criticized the decision to remove her uterus.
When his wife was diagnosed with liver cancer, he did not react with shock or sadness. Instead, he
immediately interrupted the doctor without hesitation.
Ashton couldn’t remain calm and insisted in a raised voice. “I know her body. It’s impossible for her to
have
cancer.”
The chief physician responded coldly, “It seems to me that you are not a qualified husband.
“Your wife is currently experiencing severe psychological trauma and needs calmness instead of being
further stressed.
“My personal recommendation is for you to leave her for now and provide her with a peaceful
environment
to rest. At the same time, she should seek a suitable liver for transplantation as soon as possible. If she
can find one fast enough, there might still be hope.” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Ashton disregarded the physician’s advice and stood by Deborah’s side. “Don’t listen to the doctor.
He’s just an alarmist. I’ll be here to take care of you and help you recover.”
The chief physician could not bear it any longer and handed Deborah’s medical records to his assistant
physician, saying, “Please take a look. I’ll go check on the patient next door.”
As the chief physician was leaving, Deborah seemed to have lost her last straw, and her face suddenly
showed
a panicked and anxious expression.
She began to breathe heavily and looked at Ashton as if he were a devil. Suddenly, she retched and
vomited a large amount of blood.
Ashton stood beside her, his coat stained dark red by the blood. It was the first time he had seen
Deborah
vomit blood up close.
The chief physician urgently shouted, “Quick, administer a sedative!”
He then scolded Ashton angrily, “Do you still think I’m exaggerating?”
Ashton was stunned. The chief physician pushed him aside and made him take two steps back, making
room
for Deborah’s bed.
The doctors surrounded the bed, injecting Deborah with a sedative and attaching her to an oxygen
machine.
Lydia was so distraught that she was in tears while Joseph stood by her side, giving water to Deborah
and
wiping her sweat. He also tried to calm Lydia down and told her not to panic.
Everyone was in a frenzy except for Ashton, who stood on the sidelines like an outsider.
When things calmed down, Joseph coldly looked at Ashton and said, “I’ll take her to another hospital to
recuperate, and you shouldn’t see her again anytime soon. Instead, use your time to help find a
suitable liver
for her.”
Ashton was still in denial and said, “She doesn’t have a terminal illness.”

Joseph sneered. “You’re the one who looks like you have a terminal illness with your cerebellar
atrophy.”
Ashton was stunned and only spoke after a long time had passed, “Do you remember what happened
back
then?”
Joseph replied coldly, “What do you think? You’ve been usurping this place for so many years.”
Ashton didn’t say anything for a long time, and it was only after a while that he spoke again, “Fine, you
can take her away. But it’ll only be for a limited time. Once she’s feeling better, I’ll bring her back.
“Her mother will have to stay with me, and don’t forget that she hasn’t divorced me yet.”
Joseph didn’t want to waste any more time with him and instructed Shawn, who was standing nearby.
“Go arrange for her transfer to another hospital. I’ll take Deborah with me.”
