Daemon removed Derila's clothes and got rid of the ants and rats on her body.
Subsequently, he wrapped her up with his jacket and carried her petite figure out of the cave.
At that very moment, Derila was feeling woozy, and her head throbbed with pain.
A pungent stench of blood from her neck slowly filled the air.
As they exited the cave, they were greeted by a gust of cold wind.It sobered Derila up a little.She clenched Daemon's collar and muttered weakly, "My backpack and passport...They're left in the wooden house..."
"I got them."
As he spoke, a jeep pulled over on the slope and picked both of them up.Kate treated Derila's wounds and bandaged them accordingly.
Afterward, the jeep drove them down.The sun was already breaking through the horizon by the time they got to the foot of the mountain.The morning twilight was as refreshing as a beacon of hope.
Lowering his head to gaze at Derila who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Daemon had never been so delighted before.
When she's not fussing, she's like a docile and obedient child.
Although she was stinky and completely disheveled with dirt and blood stained all over her body, he did not mind that at all.
Conversely, he even brushed away the loose strands on her forehead.
If only time could stand still for us to stay like this forever...
"Mr.Lierger!"
Sloan called out anxiously as a thought occurred to him all of a sudden.
"Dr.Feroma hurt the back of her head before.If I'm not mistaken, it was quite serious.I wonder if her new wounds would trigger her old injury."
Harrison recalled something upon hearing that.
"Oh, that's right.I remember seeing the X-ray images.Back then, Dr.Solova did a check-up on her and discovered multiple metal chips pressing on the nerves of her brain.As a result, she lost her memory."
"If that's the case, it's going to be a challenge."
Kate added, "Let's do a scan on Ms.Riri as soon as we get to the hospital."
"Notify M Nation to call upon Ellen now" Daemon instructed decisively.
"Arrange for the hospital to perform a thorough check-up and follow-up treatment."
"Noted."
Immediately, Kate made a phone call to convey the order.
Thereafter, the convoy set off steadily for the hospital.
When they arrived, Daemon carried Derila down personally, and they were met by a team of medical officers who had been patiently waiting at the entrance, on standby.
The medical superintendent and his team of experts hurried over to offer their care and concern.
However, Daemon ignored them all and made his way through the entrance.
Kate trailed behind him, explaining Derila's condition to the doctors.
Soon, the hospital put her through an urgent MRI scan.
After running through a battery of tests, the medical experts and specialists had a discussion to research the most ideal treatment plan for Derila.
The next morning, they finally had an action plan.
Kate brought along the X-ray images to report the updates to Daemon.
The situation was more or less similar to what Ellen found out earlier.
The claim regarding the metal chips pressing on the nerves of Derila's brain was indeed true, and surgery was inevitable because her life was at stake.
However, no one dared to handle the case because it involved a high-risk operation.
Kate and the other experts at the hospital were not confident to guarantee much success.
None of them could afford to bear the consequences should the surgery fail.
Instantly, Daemon asked for Ellen, who was already on her way to the hospital.She should arrive in a few hours' time.
Since Daemon insisted on staying at the hospital to keep Derila company, Harrison made arrangements with the housekeeper to deliver them some change of clothes.
Right then, Charles dashed over and reported, "Mr.Lierger, the three prominent families are looking for you high and low.
They said that there's an important meeting for you to attend this morning."
"Reschedule it to the afternoon." Daemon was rather annoyed.
"I told them that, but..."
Before Charles could finish his sentence, a familiar voice rang in their ears, "I'm afraid the decision isn't yours to make, Daemon, for the vice president is coming over today."
