The ambulance quickly rushed the unconscious Benjamin Shaw to the hospital, where the doctors were already prepared for emergency treatment.
Alice Turner had figured Benjamin's injury would be serious, but what she hadn't expected was that the stab had hit his left kidney, and the damage was far worse than she'd imagined.
The doctor said they needed to perform a repair surgery immediately; otherwise his condition would worsen, and he could even die.
The moment she heard the word "die," Alice's legs went weak. Luckily she was standing by the wall, or she would have collapsed straight to the floor.
"Excuse me, what's your relation to the patient?"
The doctor held the surgical consent form and asked Alice.
Alice froze for a second, then replied, "I'm his ex‑wife."
"Then hurry and contact his family. Without a family member's signature we can't proceed with the surgery." The doctor's expression was grave, and his tone urgent.
