Chapter 9
Amidst the sterile white halls of the bustling hospital, a symphony of hurried footsteps and distant
murmurs formed a dissonant backdrop to the unfolding emergency. The nurse’s voice cut through the
chaos, urgent and trembling with the weight of the situation as she guided the resident doctor toward
the accident and emergency ward, where Hazel lay, her condition hanging in the balance. The
fluorescent lights overhead seemed too harsh, too unforgiving for the gravity of the moment.
Hazel was wheeled in. She lay there feebly on the hospital bed. Her swollen belly protruded beneath
the hospital gown like a precious cargo, both vulnerable and resilient.
“There was an accident,” the nurse explained briefing the doctor on the way.
Hazel listened while she battled with unconsciousness, it was hard to remain awake. Weakly, she
implored, “Please, save my babies.” Her words, a fragile plea, hung in the air like a prayer.
The young doctor, his eyes a mosaic of concern and compassion, approached Hazel’s bedside. His NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
voice, calm and reassuring, served as an anchor in the sea of uncertainty. “What is your name?” he
asked with a calming smile.
“Hazel,” came her weak reply.
“Don’t worry, Hazel. You’re in the hands of capable professionals.”
As he inquired further, his gentle demeanor remained unwavering. “How far along are you?” he asked,
his voice softened by empathy.
“About ten months,” Hazel replied, her voice trembling like a leaf in the wind.
“Your overdue for delivery,” the doctor acknowledged, his face etched with a mixture of sympathy and
resolve.
With a trembling voice, Hazel clung to a singular plea, her eyes filled with maternal devotion. “Just save
my babies; they’re more important.”

The medical team, their faces a mosaic of determination, swung into action with the precision born of
years of training. They administered treatments with a sense of the rhythmic beeping of machines
serving as a haunting reminder of the fragility of life. The doctor, keenly aware of the gravity of the
situation, made a swift decision. “Prepare her for surgery,” he instructed, his voice carrying the weight
of responsibility. With those words, he left the ward, disappearing into the labyrinthine corridors, where
the operating room awaited, a realm where miracles and heartaches intersected.
As he exited the ward, a concerned Noah approached the doctor, his expression marked by an
overwhelming sense of responsibility. “Doctor, please, do whatever it takes to save her life.”
The doctor, momentarily pausing in his hurried stride, inquired with genuine curiosity, “Are you related
to the woman? She’s in danger. We need the family to sign. It might get to the stage where it’s her life
or that of her child.” The nurse spoke urgently. “We need the go–ahead from a family relative,” he
urged. “The husband or father.”
“I’m the father; I’ll sign. Hazel would choose her kids instead.” Noah rushed out. “Alright then. We can
proceed.”
Noah was shaken but resolute, knowing she had no one; he shook his head. “Whatever happens to
her, I carry that burden.”
With a beany heart the doctor offered a candid assessment of the situation. Well, I’ll be honest with
