Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 477

So, in the worst-case scenario, Victor would be paralyzed? Although the intern said it very carefully, the word ‘paralyzed’ made everyone in the room silent.

"Mr.Scott, Mr.Sullivan, although we can’t guarantee that the blood clot will not cause paralysis, the chance of it happening is still very low.We have checked many cases and out of them, there was only one patient who got paralyzed."

The doctor rushed through the words hoping to brighten the situation.

There was only one case, but that didn’t mean it wouldn’t happen again.

Carson remained silent, not knowing what to think. Sweat appeared on the intern’s forehead.She looked at the expression on Victor’s face while carefully avoiding eye contact.

Victor’s eyes darkened.

"Can the blood clot be removed through surgery?"

"Not yet."

The doctor paused and shook his head.

"Don’t worry, Mr.Sullivan.We will watch it carefully.Once we are able to perform the surgery, we will."

"Didn’t you say that only one patient was paralyzed by this?" Carson frowned.

"How are they doing now? Did the blood clot disappear in the end? Or was it removed?"

The room was silent once more.

The doctor didn’t dare to speak and neither did those with him.

The intern raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Just then, her eyes met Carson’s.

Her heart sank and she immediately understood what he wanted.She swallowed and looked at her teacher for help.

"He has passed away."

Seeing that the doctor didn’t even look up the whole time, the intern answered just to ease the pressure of Carson’s gaze.

"He was paralyzed because the blood clot had been pressing on his nerves for years.Half a year later, he suddenly passed out.The doctors did everything they could, but he was already brain dead."

There were two ways to tell whether a person was dead or not.

One was that their heart stopped.

Once the heart stopped, it meant that there was nothing to pump blood anymore, and all organs would stop working altogether.

The other way was brain death.

The central nerve of the brain controlled the breathing system.

Once one’s brain died, they would stop breathing and eventually even their body would die too.

Therefore, brain death was also a signal that a person was already dying.

Suddenly, The tension in the room grew even worse.

"So you mean that we can only count on luck now? If Victor is lucky, the blood clot in his brain will disappear and everything will be fine.But if he isn’t, then not only will he be paralyzed, but also die?"

"Theoretically speaking, that is the case."

The intern lowered her head, not sure why she was put in such a position.

Then she quickly added, "But, we will try our best to make sure it doesn’t happen."

Carson frowned and looked at Victor.

It was the first time he was so angry, but he had nowhere to direct his anger.

He really wanted to yell at the doctors, but what good would it do? It certainly wouldn’t help with Victor’s situation.

Victor closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"You can leave now."

Hearing what he said, the doctor and nurses were more than relieved.They turned around and left the ward without hesitation.
