I frantically grasped the doctor's arm, demanding to know the situation, but the doctor shook her head sorrowfully and said, "Notify Renee's mother as soon as possible, or she might miss her last chance to see Renee..."
I turned and shouted at Yasmin, "Did you hear that? Hurry up to the hospital! The doctor said... said..."
The words choked in my throat, and I couldn't say them.
Yasmin scornfully cursed in a high-pitched voice, "Lawson, you're really playing around! You even found a little girl to act with?"
Her piercing tone shocked the doctor as well.
The doctor regarded me with a complex expression and motioned for me to pass her my phone, saying, "There's no one else involved. When your daughter slipped into a coma, she kept calling out for you. Please, come as soon as you can. A miracle might unfold if we can ignite a survival spark within her!"
Yasmin obviously didn't believe it and sneered instead, "How much money did Lawson give you to act? You acted so realistically! But let me warn you if you dare to curse my family with him again, don't blame me for suing you for defamation!"
Her male best friend, Brennen Wellend, was fake crying beside her, "Yasmin, I lost so much money today. How can I go on living!"
Yasmin immediately comforted him in a gentle voice, "It's okay, I'm here!"
After saying that, she interrupted my finally spoken plea, "Lawson, you ruined our good thing today. Quickly transfer 100,000 dollars over to help Brennen recover his losses. Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"
She hung up again, and the doctor who came out of the emergency room bowed to me, "Sorry, we did our best!"
My father-in-law was the most seriously injured. Combined with his underlying illness, the rescue was ineffective, and he died.
With tears in my eyes, I tried to contact Brennen, but he hung up on me.
Immediately, Brennen sent me a voice message and an intimate photo of Yasmin sitting on his lap playing cards, "Lawson, be sensible! If I were you, I would obediently transfer the money instead of bringing disgrace upon yourself!"
His arrogant and mocking words echoed in the quiet corridor, attracting the attention of many people.
Even though the doctor had seen many life situations, she still stared in disbelief. She hid her pity for me and shook her head, saying, "Then come in with me!"
