Chapter 031 Too Violent

Katherine Bigelow and Janet Johnston hurried to the UCLA Medical Center in downtown Santa Monica, it was nearly noon. The downstairs of the hospital where the emergency area of ​​the medical centre is located, several police cars and ambulances are still flashing lights, and there are also several private cars parked scattered nearby.

Before she could find a suitable parking space, Catherine also parked the car in an open space downstairs of the hospital, got out of the car with Janet, and walked towards a middle-aged white policeman not far away. "Officer, hello, we are friends of Simon Westeros,"

Catherine and Janet walked to the middle-aged police officers, introduced themselves, and asked eagerly, "How is Simon now?"

When the police heard Catherine's self-introduction, he looked at the two elegant women in front of him with unexpected expressions, and said, "I'm Charles Heck, two ladies, come with me first. Besides, you know Simon Westeros. Do you have the contact information of his family?"

Catherine and Janet followed Charles Heck into the hospital building. After hearing the other party's question, Catherine hesitated before saying, "Simon should be an orphan, he has no family."

Catherine said so, that Janet and Charles Heck were taken aback.

Although Simon had revealed enough information in several contacts, Janet still had a hard time believing that such a wonderful little boy could be an orphan, she always felt that a lot of what Simon said might just be a joke.

The middle-aged policeman did not expect this to happen, and after thinking about it, he started to introduce the two women as he walked: "It's like this, we received a call, Found him in an alley near Elmhurst Street. According to the situation at the scene, Simon Westeros should have been riding there and was attacked by five youths. However, when we arrived at the scene, Simon Westeros had passed out. So, ma'am, do you have any idea why he biked past there alone late at night?"

On the phone call not long ago, Catherine just heard a policeman say that he had seen her contact information in Simon's address book and that Simon had been sent for a fight. into the hospital.

At this time, when she heard that Simon was besieged by five young people, Catherine's heart suddenly lifted, but she explained patiently: "Simon told me that he recently worked in a 24-hour convenience store."

The middle-aged policeman Charles Heck nodded and said: "This makes sense, the 24-hour convenience store, the shift will be changed at eleven o'clock in the night, and the time is just right."

"Then," Katherine asked again: "Mr Heck, Simon What happened?"

The middle-aged policeman shook his head and said, "When we arrived at the scene, he was unconscious. However, the doctor is still examining the specific situation."

Janet finally interjected: "Has the perpetrator been caught?"

The middle-aged policeman glanced at Janet, nodded, and his expression was a bit weird, and said, "Caught, five people, none of them ran away."

After saying this, the three of them came to the emergency room Area of the medical centre together.

In the hall of the emergency room, Catherine and Janet looked at the five young men on the stretcher bed lined up with their right legs hoisted and still moaning, and immediately understood why the middle-aged police officer had that expression just now.

Catherine looked at the situation in front of her but did not find Simon's figure left or right, and her expression became more worried.

Janet's eyes were wide open, ignoring the doctors and nurses who were still busy in front of the stretcher bed, as well as several middle-aged men and women who were obviously family members.

Noting that the last young man not only had his legs hanging, but one cheek was swollen high, and half of his lips were sunken like a toothless old lady, Janet suddenly felt excited.

Turning around and running back to Catherine, Janet's face was flushed with excitement, and she said something in her mouth: "It's so violent, so violent, so violent."

Catherine took back Simon's backpack from the police and saw Janet come over, took her hand and said, "Okay, Jenny, let's go to the CT room, Simon is there."

Just as the two women were about to leave the emergency room, a few doctors and nurses pushed a stretcher bed and turned out from the side corridor. It was Simon who was lying on the bed.

Catherine and Janet hurried over, and just as they were about to ask the doctor about Simon's condition, several middle-aged men and women who had gathered around the five youths gathered aggressively.

One of the women with tears on her face yelled and was about to throw herself at Simon, and the policemen who were guarding the hall hurried over when they saw it. Seeing the woman rushing to her side, Janet didn't want to be outdone, she stretched out her hand and shoved her hard, and said loudly, "Hey, what are you doing?"

the woman staggered back a few steps and was supported by her husband. Seeing that several police officers were already separated from the crowd, they had to give up the plan to rush on again, but looked fiercely at Simon on the stretcher bed and said, "The criminal, I will not let him go, I will send him to prison. "

Ha, the criminal? Are you kidding me?" Janet heard these words, broke away from Catherine to take her hand, and pointed to the five young people on the stretcher bed not far away: "They are the criminal, five deal with one, and still their leg was broken, not only are they criminal but also a group of trash. you won't let go, right? Let's wait and see, and see who will let go."

Catherine looked at Janet's more and more exciting appearance, She had to go up and hold her again, and after a few words of persuasion in a low voice, Janet and Catherine left with Simon's stretcher bed.

There was a small conflict just now, and the hospital did not dare to put everyone in the emergency hall together. It quickly allocated in a ward and placed Simon in it.

After more than two hours of busywork, Catherine and Janet finally sat next to Simon's bed.

Looking at Simon, who still didn't wake up on the bed, Janet, a little girl, leaned on the bed with her chin on her back, and said, "He's a fight-resistant guy, with so many injuries on his body, but nothing happened to his bones. Then The five wastes are all had fractures, and the bones are all broken. Our little boy is so strong. I heard that it will take several operations to recover, tsk tsk."

Catherine looked at Simon's sleeping side face, But in her heart not as optimistic as Janet.

Several hours have passed, and Simon still hasn't woken up, which is not a good sign.

Moreover, the doctor just told Catherine that although Simon's apparent injury is not serious, it is difficult to determine whether there will be internal bleeding because of the number of attacks, and he will need to be hospitalized for at least a week.

Seeing that Catherine didn't agree with her, Janet followed her gaze to Simon's face, and then said happily, "Fortunately, there is no face injury, the little boy is still so handsome."

Saying this, Janet stretched her out. She touched Simon's face, and then slipped under the sheet: "Wow, so strong."

Catherine stared helplessly: "Jenny, can you stop making trouble?"

"Okay, okay."

Janet shrank her neck and retracted her hand embarrassingly.

After waiting for a while, Catherine stopped staring at him, and another small hand-drilled directly from the edge of the sheet.

Because Simon was in a very embarrassing situation when he was sent to the hospital, the clothes on his body had been cut and discarded directly by the doctor. At this point, the boy had only a pair of temporary underwear and a hospital gown over his body.

It's just that this time Janet's little hand just touched Simon's body when she suddenly felt a big hand tightly grasping her wrist.

Janet was taken aback, screamed, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but directly brought Simon's entire arm over.

Feeling that her wrist was tightly grasped like a vice, as she struggled, his strength was getting tighter and tighter, Janet's face quickly flushed with pain: "Wow, little boy, you woke upright. Right? Let go of me, it hurts, let go, or I will bite you, I will bite. Hmm, Kate, come and help me, woohoo, it hurts!"

Catherine looked at With the situation in front of her, she thought Janet was playing a prank again until her tears fell, and she quickly turned around from the other side of the hospital bed.

After checking Simon's hand holding Janet, Catherine tried to break it but found that her strength could not shake Simon's finger at all, so she turned to the boy on the hospital bed: "Simon, you are awake. Is it? Let go of Jenny, it hurts a lot."

Simon on the hospital bed didn't respond he didn't wake up.

With the movement here, the doctors and nurses rushed over, and the two policemen who were still in the hospital also appeared in the ward.

The small ward suddenly became lively.

"Kate, woohoo, I'm probably going to die. When this little bastard wakes up, tell him I'll be running to talk to him every night. woohoo, and tell my family, I'm not going back to Melbourne, I want to be buried in Los Angeles, I like the sunshine here, woohoo."

"Doctor, can you think of away?"

"Lady, relax, don't struggle, this is the patient's stress response, the more you struggle, the Tighter he clutches ."

"When we found this kid, he had a baseball bat in his hand. That's how we got it out of his hand."

"Ugh, bastard, this is My hand, not a baseball bat."

After tossing around like this for a while, Simon didn't even want to let go of the hand that was holding Janet.

Looking at Janet's appearance of pear blossoms and rain, Catherine turned to Simon again, suddenly remembered something, and raised her hand to everyone, signalling everyone to be quiet.

Afterwards, Catherine came to the head of the bed, leaned over to Simon's ear, and whispered, "Simon, can you hear me? I'm Catherine, you are safe, everyone is by your side, it's all right... "

Catherine murmured all kinds of words of consolation very patiently, and everyone looked over quietly.

After several minutes, when Catherine stopped whispering and everyone came back to their senses, Janet found that she had unknowingly gotten rid of Simon's 'magic claws'.

It's just that Janet's originally white wrist has now turned into a carrot.

Followed the doctor and ran to check, Janet came back again with two ice packs in her hands and stared at Simon, who was still sleeping, and was even more dissatisfied when she saw that Catherine was sitting on the bedside casually and flipping through a magazine. : "This little bastard, I should have bit him just now, it's disgusting."

Catherine looked up at her and smiled: "isn't it all your fault."

"Wow, you turned towards him, Kate, I am Jealous." Janet complained, seeing Catherine's unresponsive appearance, and 'provocatively' said: "I think this little bastard must be a violent maniac, we should stay away from him in the future."

"No," Catherine shook her head, looked at the boy on the bed tenderly, and said with some pity, "He should, but he is too insecure."
