Chapter 384: He Should Have Realized It
“Does Claire need a lot of blood? She probably didn’t lose that much. What if she doesn’t get a blood transfusion?” Frederick asked. He was calmer than Elizabeth. He carefully recalled what had happened in Arthur’s villa. From the time Claire and Elizabeth went upstairs to Claire getting injured, being carried downstairs, and then Nathan showing up, it wasn’t very long. And they called an ambulance immediately, so Claire wasn’t supposed to lose much blood.
“Yes, the patient did not lose a lot of blood, and it will not cause any life-threatening danger or irreversible damage to her body,” the doctor said. “But blood is the most important part of the human body. Ischemia could cause various complicated situations. The only thing we can be sure of now is that the patient’s life will not be in danger if she doesn’t get a blood transfusion. But it’s hard to say what else will happen. The patient is very likely to fall into a coma in this situation. As for how long she will be in a coma, we’re not sure. So, it’s best to get the blood and give her a blood transfusion as soon as possible.”
The doctor gave Frederick and Elizabeth a very objective analysis.
“Okay, I understand,” Frederick nodded, taking out his cell phone and calling Richard. “Go and have someone check the blood banks of all the hospitals in Kingstown to see if any hospital has any Rh-negative blood.”
Richard replied, “I’m sorry, General Hawthorne. I’m afraid we can’t check it now. I just received a report that two-thirds of our firepower points in Kingstown have been destroyed. They are either attacked by gangsters or terrorist organizations or by desperate criminals. In short, things are in a mess. What’s wrong? Did something happen to Ms. Prescott?”
Just about half an hour ago, not long after Claire was sent to the hospital and pushed into the emergency room, Richard had received a call from his subordinate and left in a hurry. At that time, he did not think the situation would be so serious, so he did not tell Frederick.
Frederick was stunned when he heard the report on the phone. Two-thirds of firepower points in Kingstown had been destroyed. What a terrifying number. The only person Frederick could think of who was capable of doing that was Arthur.
In Kingstown, no one other than Arthur had the intention and ability to do this. He suddenly remembered a week ago, Arthur pleading for him in front of Nathan. Frederick thought, “No wonder he hid Claire in his villa and pleaded for him. It turns out that he planned to do this. He’s so hateful! I should have realized it long ago!”
“What’s wrong, Frederick?” seeing Frederick’s expression, Elizabeth asked.
“Oh, nothing serious,” Frederick came back to reality and responded, and then instructed Richard, “Regardless of the current situation, you must do your best to check the blood banks to see which hospital has Rh-negative blood.”
“Got it, General Hawthorne. I’ll do it right away.” Hearing Frederick’s words, Richard knew that something must have happened to Claire. After hanging up the phone, he mobilized all the remaining resources in the Comprehensive Surveillance Network to check the blood banks of Kingstown’s hospitals. However, he didn’t get what he wanted.
Three minutes later, Richard called Frederick. “General Hawthorne, I have had people check all the blood banks in all the hospitals in Kingstown. No hospital has Rh-negative blood backup.”
“Okay, I understand,” Frederick was stunned for a moment and subconsciously clenched his fists. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Elizabeth again and said, “Elizabeth, I can’t find it.”
At the same time, Elizabeth received messages. She didn’t bother to reply and quickly unlocked her cell phone. She saw the unread messages, most of which showed: [I’m sorry.] Her heart sank. She felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Frederick supported her in time.
