Chapter 268: Chapter 268

"Rose, get your ass to the hospital! No time for chitchat, hurry!!!"

It was Caden on the line.

Caden was always a chill dude, so for him to be in such a tizzy, she didn’t need to think twice,something bad must’ve happened to Granny!

In no time, a roaring sports car zoomed off from the other side of the villa.

Louisa, who had just gotten up for a drink, heard the noise and glanced out the window, catching sight of a red Ferrari disappearing into the distance

What the hell was Rose up to this late at night? Something must’ve gone down.

Rosemary slammed down the pedal, drifting wildly on the empty streets at night.

A place that would normally take half an hour to reach, she managed to get there in just ten. The car screeched to a halt at the hospital entrance, giving the waiting nurse quite a fright.

Rosemary’s car had nearly mowed her down!

Catching her breath, she hurried over, "Ms. Rose, thank God you’re here! Dr. Caden had me wait for you, your granny’s condition is critical, we’ve missed the golden window for treatment!"

Rosemary froze for a second, then quickened her pace towards room 301.

"Ms. Rose, wait for me," the nurse couldn’t keep up with her.

Like a whirlwind, Rosemary reached room 301, only to find it empty.

"Ms. Rose, the operating room! Please quickly change into the surgical gown," Another nurse reminded.

Rosemary changed into the sterile gown in a flash, and as she entered the operating room, all the monitors were screaming one thing: Granny was on the brink!

"A ruptured heart caused by a heart attack! Quick!" Caden’s voice snapped her back to reality

A ruptured heart caused by a heart attack was the most severe complication of myocardial infarction

The condition was extremely dangerous, with a mortality rate of 100% within a short time. Many people died on the spot before they can even be taken to the hospital.

Luckily, granny was in the ward when it happened, and the nurse on duty noticed and rushed her to surgery

Before Rosemary arrived, Caden had already opened Granny’s chest. He quickly cannulated the femoral artery, and opened the pericardium, but bad news struck: there were large clots in the pericardium.

And then, things took a turn for the worse.

"Damn, sudden ventricular fibrillation!" a doctor cried out.

Rosemary reacted instantly, "Defibrillate."

Not long after, the doctors breathed a sigh of relief, "Defibrillation successful, heart rhythm restored, blood pressure back to 70mmhg

"I’ll deal with the clots!" Rosemary took over.

Last time, a doctor had seen her deal with adhesion and clots, so he knew that she was a whiz at it, so they let her handle it.

After Rosemary finished, she instructed someone to cannulate a vein to establish extracorporeal circulation, but soon, more bad news came

"Damn, blood pressure is dropping again!" a doctor reported.

Rosemary kept her cool, "Block the ascending aorta, infuse cardioplegia to soften the heartbeat!"

"Blockage successful, cardioplegia infused."

"Externally palpate the ascending aorta."

Upon Rosemary’s command, a doctor palpated the ascending aorta, "Palpation complete, no obvious thickening or intramural hematoma"

The possibility of a ruptured ascending aorta was ruled out.

Rosemary glanced at the slightly thickened aortic arch, "No signs of aortic dissection, ruling out aortic rupture, initiate cerebral hypothermia"

She did this to prevent cerebral ischemia from causing brain damage to Granny

"The wound is getting bigger."

"Bleeding is increasing."

"The extracorporeal circulation can’t be maintained."

Doctors kept updating Rosemary on her grandma’s latest condition.

Rosemary had just sorted out all the problems when a new one popped up. A heart attack had caused the heart to rupture, making the surrounding myocardium very fragile. The hole in the heart was 3 cm, and only highly skilled suturing could possibly succeed.

"How about we call Dr. Caden?" one of the doctors who wasn’t familiar with Rosemary suggested, genuinely believing that Caden was more skilled.

But Caden immediately shut him down, "No one is better suited than her!"

Rosemary calmly carried out the suturing operation, ensuring the heart was repaired sturdily.

Those who had never seen her in action were surprised, her suturing technique was seriously top–notch. Likewise, those who had seen her work were amazed all over again, her skills were still unbeatable.

Some of the doctors had never worked with Rosemary before, but this time the teamwork was perfect,the operation went smoothly, and was done in just over four hours!

Just when the operation was about to end, one of the doctors suddenly exclaimed, "We can’t remove the extracorporeal circulation, the blood pressure drops immediately!"

Another doctor also noticed a problem, "The blood can’t return to the left atrium!"

"The heart has failed to beat again; blood pressure is dropping!" another doctor stated in surprise.

Everyone was puzzled, what was going on?

All they needed to do was remove the extracorporeal circulation machine, and the whole operation, what was happening!

Caden quickly recapped the whole operation, "There were no issues during the operation! Rosemary’s separation and suturing were all handled very well! All the temporary issues were also addressed in the best possible way!"

"Where did the problem come from?" the other doctors asked one after another.

Having stood for over four hours, their faces were all very tense.

Rosemary didn’t answer their questions, instead she ordered, "Continue assisting, bring the ultrasound machine here."

"Rosemary."

"Bring it here!" Rosemary suddenly ordered sternly.

Caden looked at her, whispering softly and sympathetically, "You know as well as anyone, it’s the old lady’s physical condition that can’t keep up with the treatment."

In other words, Grandma’s body simply couldn’t withstand the stress of the entire operation!

This operation was completely different from the one they had planned for tomorrow.

This one was due to a heart attack that caused the heart to rupture! The mortality rate was extremely.high!

Besides, Grandma had other illnesses which were not helping the cause.

It wasn’t that Rosemary’s surgical skills were lacking, but that grandma’s life might be nearing its end, perhaps even today.

"Did anyone not understand what I said?" Rosemary’s face showed a hint of anger.

Immediately, a doctor brought in an ultrasound machine from outside the operating room. Rosemary observed that the ultrasound showed very little blood flow in the left atrium, but at least it wasn’t totally empty!

She could do it; she could pull Grandma back from the brink of death once more.

The sun slowly rose, it was already completely bright outside.

Louisa had spent a restless night, but Rosemary had still not returned, not answering calls or replying to her messages. By ten in the morning, she couldn’t stand it anymore and had to call Romeo.

"Romeo, Rose left after two a.m. last night, she seemed in a hurry, and she hasn’t come back yet. I’m worried she’s in
