Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1028

The guests' constant chatter gave Fiona a splitting headache. She took a deep breath, battling an overwhelming urge to lash out at Helen.

However, with the guests' accusatory glares fixed on her, Fiona had no choice but to stifle her anger. She closed her eyes and begrudgingly allowed Helen to proceed with the rescue.

Helen could have chosen to ignore the situation, but she knew Johnny was innocent—no one would jeopardize their own well-being for a trivial joke.

Even if Johnny were a stranger, Helen couldn't stand by and do nothing. Given the circumstances, her resolve to help grew even stronger.

Fiona's actions were her own responsibility, and she would have to face the consequences. However, Johnny didn't deserve a death sentence.

Not to mention, preserving Johnny's life could be beneficial for Helen.

Without further delay, Helen moved in and checked for a pulse at Johnny's neck. It was extremely weak, almost imperceptible.

She also examined his hand and lifted his sleeve, noting that the veins in his arm were protruding.

It seemed his left lung was injured.

The situation was undeniably critical.

Johnny's collapse was caused not only by acute emotional distress leading to brain oxygen deprivation but also by severe pneumothorax in the chest cavity.

Without the immediate release of the trapped air, his body would struggle to breathe on its own, leading to rapid organ failure and, ultimately, death.

While Helen couldn't perform surgery to address the brain's oxygen deprivation, she could attempt to release the trapped air.

"Miss, is there still hope for Mr. Cunningham?" Yolanda asked, her eyes filled with concern.

Having served the Cunningham family for years, Johnny and Fiona have always treated Yolanda well. The thought of being responsible for Johnny's death filled her with dread.

Helen's expression turned grave as she replied, "This is a critical situation. I need to release the trapped air from his chest. I can't do this effectively with so many people around. We need to move him to a more private space."

"If you want your father to die, then go ahead and keep blocking me!" Helen's eyes flashed with determination, her voice sharp and unwavering.

At that moment, she was simply a determined doctor fighting to save a life.

Fiona had never seen Helen so resolute before. In that instant, she was hit with a surge of fear, swiftly followed by intense guilt and unease.

She couldn't bear the thought of Johnny dying, nor could she accept it.

"If anything happens to my father, I swear I'll make sure you pay for it!" Fiona threatened before reluctantly stepping aside.

"You won't have the chance," Helen retorted, shooting Fiona a dismissive glance.

With that, she turned on her heel and entered the room.

To avoid getting in the way, most of the guests stepped out, leaving only Yolanda and Johnny's close friends behind.
