Luca let out a long sigh. She missed her child, but she had to be separated from her because of Abel.
The next day, Sarah's vitals were looking good, so she was transferred out of the ICU and into the VIP ward.
Sarah looked at the beautifully decorated private ward as it was completely different from the environment at Mercy Hospital.
After being awake for a day and a half in the ICU ward, Johann was doing basic check-ups on her, and she learned that Luca
was the one who contacted the doctor and insisted on getting her transferred here.
Sarah was familiar with the name.
She had been working hard to pay Luca back.
Sarah was surprised that Mercy Hospital would contact Luca. It must be because she had Luca's business card in her wallet.
There was no other contact information for anyone else at Mercy Hospital, so they could only contact Luca.
Sarah was very grateful to Luca.
She watched the nurses take her to her ward, and although she was lying down, she could see the word 'VIP' hanging on the
corridor after getting out of the elevator.
Sarah grew anxious. “Nurse, I can't afford such an expensive ward."
She had stayed in a VIP ward before, and it was already very expensive at the time, so it would only be even more expensive
now.
"This is the doctor's order, so we're just doing as we were told." After the nurses handed her over, the head nurse of the VIP floor
came over and asked the younger nurses to send her to the ward prepared by Johann.
Sarah watched as the nurse got busy checking her name and giving her an injection.
She had mixed feelings because she knew that Luca had arranged this.
She already owed Luca money, so she could not let her spend any more on her.
Her eyebrows knitted together. How much did she owe Luca now? She did not know how long she would need to work to pay
her back...
The nurse hung Sarah's IV drip and carefully stretched the cable for the bell before placing it next to her pillow. “Ms. Poplar. If
you need the IV drip changed, you can just ring the bell. The doctor also said that you can't get up for the time being, so if you
need anything, just ring the bell. We'll be there for you first thing."
"Miss, may I borrow your phone to make a call?" Sarah found out how long she had been in a coma.
Even if she had brought her phone over here, it had probably run out of battery after so long.
"Sure, who would you like to call?" The nurse complied with her request and took out her phone to help her dial the number.
Sarah frowned as she could not remember Luca's phone number.
Seeing her struggle, the nurse said, "Ms. Poplar, you shouldn't use your brain too much. Why don't you tell me who you'd like to
call? Maybe their number is registered in our database."
Sarah felt a dull pain in her head. Perhaps she should not think too much, so she said, "No need, I have their card in my purse.
Can you help me find it?"
She remembered that when she was moved in here, the nurse said she had put her personal belongings in the closet.
The nurse nodded and opened the closet. She found her canvas bag and a black wallet. "I'll look for the card."
"Thank you." Sarah could not get up, so she entrusted the nurse.
She did not have much money in her wallet anyway, so the nurse probably would not be interested in the spare change she had.
The nurse found the card and said, "Oh, you want to call Ms. Craw?"
The nurse's tone sounded calm but excited at the same time, so Sarah asked curiously, "Miss, do you know her too?"
"Ms. Craw is a legend in the VIP ward. She said she didn't study medicine, but she knows dry needling. Her methods are very
effective and slightly different from what's taught in medical school. Oh, she knows pharmacology as well. This patient was very
sensitive to chemotherapy, so they experienced serious side effects, but after taking two doses of the medicine Ms. Craw
prescribed for them, it was not that unbearable for the patient anymore. All of our nurses know her," the nurse introduced Luca.
They knew who she was, but they were not close to her.
They did not even know her contact information.
After dialing Luca's number, she walked to Sarah's bed.
Luca's voice sounded from the phone. "Hello, who is it?"
The nurse said, "Hello, Ms. Craw. I'm a nurse from the General Hospital. Ms. Poplar has something to say to you."
After speaking, she switched it to speaker mode and placed it next to Sarah's pillow. "Yes, Ms. Poplar." Sarah sounded a little
weak. "Is this Ms. Craw?"
"It's me, Ms. Poplar. Are you out of the ICU?" Although Luca asked, she had already heard the news from Johann.
Johann's news was very straightforward. He said that there were no signs of bleeding in Sarah's brain after checking, so she
could be sent to a normal ward to recover.
"I'm out. Thank you, Ms. Craw." Sarah looked at the bright ceiling. She had been living in a dim house for over 20 years, so it had
been a long time since she had seen such a bright ceiling."
Even the ceiling at Mercy Hospital was not this bright...
If it were not for Luca, her miserable and pitiful life would have ended already.
When her cerebral aneurysm ruptured, she was still conscious. She was conscious even after the boss at her part-time job took
her to the hospital and when she was pushed onto the operating table by the doctors and nurses.
At that time, the doctor said, "She's in critical condition. Should we operate?
"She has no relatives who can transfer her and sign the documents.
"She has no chance of surviving if we don't operate, but there's no guarantee she'll live even if we do operate.
"It's a huge risk."
She could hear the doctors and nurses clearly before she was anesthetized.
At that time, Sarah thought that it was the end. She would never be able to see the only person she cared about anyway, so
perhaps it was time to end her miserable life.
However, she would not be able to repay the favor that way.
Sarah thought that the lights above her head were too glaring, which reminded her that she was alive. Since she made it out
alive, all her responsibilities and her miserable life must continue.
She had no intention of escaping. Since she could not die, she had to live life to the fullest. She said, "They said that you
arranged the VIP ward. Ms. Craw, you may need to cover the cost of treatment for now, but I don't want to stay in such an
expensive VIP ward."
Luca knew that Sarah called to not only thank her but also to talk about the VIP ward.
The VIP ward was expensive even to the average person.
Average families would choose to stay in multi-person wards to save costs.
However, it was different for Sarah. Even if she was sent to the general ward now, Marcos would still send her back to the VIP
ward a week later when her condition was stable.
If that was the case, why not have her stay in the VIP ward from the beginning?
Plus, the quietness of the VIP ward would help Sarah recover faster.
"Ms. Poplar, you don't have to worry about the expenses. You don't have to deal with that, so just focus on recovery." It was not
easy for Luca to talk about Marcos right now, so that was all she could say.
