Meanwhile, Preston's gaze was fixed on the girl, who right now was barking orders at the nurses to carry them out. Aria did not even see him, her focus completely directed at the patient, who she was trying to resuscitate. He had suffered a major cardiac arrest and had lost consciousness immediately. His face was utterly pale, resembling nothing less than a dead body. If not was the slow rise and fall of his chest, one would assume him to be dead.
Preston watched Aria performing CPR on the patient. But it did not work. The man was completely gone, and his heartbeat was now moving towards the midline. Aria tried again to revive him. Again in futile. His heart had stopped beating, and eventually, all that they could hear was the flat beep from the ECG.
Aria pulled back and wiped her forehead, staring at the now dead man for a few seconds before she turned towards the nurse behind her. "Inform the patient's family. He is no more. Prepare for the next procedure."
