Lewis knew Keira was trying to comfort him, so he played along and changed the subject.
Keira then began. "I was also abducted when I was a child and was locked up with an older brother..."
Abducted?
Lewis was slightly startled. "How old were you then?"
Keira was about to answer, but Madeleine suddenly coughed, and her body began to twist!
"Oh no! Blood has entered the trachea! Arrange for emergency thoracotomy immediately!"
Madeleine was issued the fifth critical condition notice.
Lewis's attention was immediately diverted, and once again, he stared intently at the hospital bed.
Keira no longer had the mind to talk about the past.
It was hard to tell how much time had passed. It could have been three hours or perhaps five, but Madeleine was finally resuscitated.
When the doctor said there was no immediate danger to her life, Keira let out a huge sigh of relief.
