The next day.
Laurel had surgery, and both the Rosario family and the Keller family came.
When Laurel saw everyone, she became so excited that she burst into tears.
She kept repenting her past actions. Madeleine handed her a tissue and said, "Let's not bring up the past anymore. We can have a good talk after you come out."
Laurel nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay."
Tabitha hummed and said, "You bullied my granddaughter before, and when you come out, I will find you and settle the score."
Laurel nodded solemnly, "When I come out, I will make it up to you all."
Zoey pushed herself in the wheelchair and looked at everyone, saying, "Let's continue our conversation when we come out!"
The metal door closed, and everyone fell silent.
The surgery was actually very risky, and Zoey didn't have a hundred percent certainty. However, the surgery couldn't be delayed.
Putting aside their past grievances, they both hoped for the
The anesthesia slowly flowed into the bloodstream, and Kinley quickly lost consciousness.Brodie took the surgical knife and began to operate.Outside the metal door of the operating room, the Rosario family was very nervous, and Laurel, who was still recovering, rushed over.Keaton's pacing back and forth was driving Davian crazy.Davian hit a man's leg with a cane, "You, stop walking back and forth, I feel dizzy. Your mother just had surgery not long ago, she also feels dizzy when she sees it."Keaton frowned, "I couldn't sit still!"Davian pointed at the wall and said, "If you can't sit still, go face the wall. Don't wander around in front of me."Keaton said, "Why don't you two go back to the ward first? This surgery won't take more than a few hours."Laurel shook her head, "I was waiting for Kinley to come out."Davian also nodded, "I was too."Keaton sighed and actually went to face the wall.Joselyn
Kinley's heart transplant surgery ended six hours later, by which time it was already 2 a.m.Laurel and Davian couldn't bear it anymore halfway through, so they were sent back to the ward by Kristian's father.As the metal door opened, the Rosario family, who had been waiting all along, gathered together.Brodie took off his mask and adjusted the glasses resting on his nose bridge. "The surgery was very successful, but to ensure postoperative infection prevention, the patient will be transferred to the ICU for observation for about three days, and then to the special care ward."Joselyn excitedly grasped the man's hand and said, "Thank you, Professor Keller. I am so grateful!"Brodie smiled faintly and said, "No need to thank me. As a doctor, it is my duty to treat and save people. Moreover, the Keller family and the Rosario family are now relatives, so you don't need to thank me even more."Joselyn's eyes welled up with hot tears, "Thank yo
Joselyn woke up around six in the morning. As she opened her eyes, she saw a man sleeping against the back of the chair under the dim yellowish light.The man crossed his arms over his chest, slightly spread his legs, and had a pair of wire-framed glasses resting on his nose.Even from the perspective of death, Brodie still had a noble and handsome appearance, although his fatigue was hard to hide.It is said that the Keller family has extremely high looks, and it is indeed true. Just pick one randomly, and they can easily surpass the entertainment industry.Suddenly, the man lifted the curtain and locked eyes with Joselyn.Joselyn had a feeling of being caught, she sat up and pursed her lips, "Professor Keller, good morning."Brodie moved his neck and arms, his thin lips slightly curved, "Good morning, feeling better now?"Joselyn nodded, "A lot better. Have you been here watching over me all this time?"Brodie nodded slightly
The next day, Brodie went to the hospital as usual. He arrived at the ICU to check on Kinley's condition. There were no signs of rejection and there were indications of recovery.He remembered Porter, a man who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually ruthless and cunning.The tragedies of the Rosario family were all caused by this person and, in the end, it was also him who put an end to them. He probably thought that Porter was here to collect a debt and repay it.Leaving the ICU ward, he went to Mr. Hester's room.Brodie was taken aback, as the person in front of him looked completely different from yesterday, no longer dressed as a zombie nurse but rather as a standard socialite.He nodded slightly, "Hello, I came to check on Mr. Hester's condition."Mr. Hester wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Brodie. "Don't speak, I will examine you."Mr. Hester nodded and then saw Deborah approaching.Brodie noticed someone a
Brodie and Joselyn left the Inpatient Department.Brodie asked, "Did you drive?"Joselyn shook her head, "I was a typical pedestrian, not suitable for driving, so I took a taxi here."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Then, ride in my car.""Okay."The two of them arrived at the parking lot. Brodie, being a gentleman, opened the passenger door for her. Joselyn politely thanked him and got in.After Brodie got on the car, he saw that Joselyn had already fastened her seatbelt.He smiled and said, "Although it was a hit-and-run, the awareness of safety was quite strong."Joselyn shrugged self-deprecatingly, "Since the incident with Porter, I felt that life was too fragile, and at any moment, my own life could be in danger. Of course, I am afraid of death myself, but what I fear even more is that if my parents were to lose me again, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it."Brodie could fully understand the phrase "life
Brodie and Joselyn had finished their meal, and it was almost eight o'clock. The table was a mess.Joselyn patted her stomach and said, "After this meal, I definitely gained two pounds."Brodie chuckled, "You were too thin, it would be better to gain some weight. With all the recent experiences, I'm sure you had a lot of mental pressure, so it's good to have a broad mind and a plump body."Joselyn nodded, "That's true. But thanks to you, otherwise my mom would have been in danger. I must treat you to this meal.""Fine," Brodie shrugged, "then I won't compete with you for the order."After the two of them went downstairs and settled the bill, the waiter informed them that the boss was treating them.Joselyn sighed and said, "I wanted to invite you, but since I couldn't, next time when you have time, I will invite you again."Brodie nodded slightly, "Okay."Joselyn was twenty-three years old, seven years younger than Brodie.
Brodie didn't expect to escape Davis and Tabitha's pressure to get married at home, and he still couldn't escape it at the hospital.He smiled faintly and said, "Not yet."Joselyn's grandmother's eyes lit up, and she stood up and looked Brodie up and down. "This young man is tall and handsome, and he is a perfect match for our Joselyn."Joselyn's mouth twitched. "Grandma, why did you randomly choose the 'Mandarin Duck' song? Do you know who he is?"Joselyn's grandmother smiled and said, "He is my future grandson-in-law."Joselyn. “..."Brodie pushed his wireframe glasses and nodded slightly, "Hello, Grandma, my name is Brodie."Joselyn's grandmother laughed, "See, this is Joselyn we're talking about. She even started introducing herself willingly."The crowd. “..."Joselyn almost blushed in the past, she tugged at her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, this is Kristian's second cousin.""What?"
Brodie furrowed his brow and asked, "What does Ms. Hester want?""I just wanted to invite you to have a meal." Deborah smiled, "I have asked you out several times already, can Professor Keller give me a chance?"Brodie naturally knew in his heart that Deborah didn't just want to have a meal with him, and then ask for his phone number, leading to entanglement.He had no slightest bit of interest in her, and Joselyn didn't seem to belong to the category of relatives, so he directly refused in order to avoid any further trouble."Sorry, Ms. Hester, I indeed didn't have a surgery tonight, so I had some free time, but my family was waiting for me to have dinner together."Deborah blinked her eyes innocently and naively, "Can't we have dinner with our family another day?"Brodie chuckled lightly, "Is it you who is important or my family? I haven't been home for a few days, finally had some time to have a meal with my family, and now you want me to
Nancy fidgeted with her fingers uneasily, not because she was nervous about her wedding today, but because she had a constant feeling that something was about to happen.Susie seemed to give up her rights easily, even though she was not the type of person who easily gives up.Nancy raised her hand and placed it on her small abdomen. The baby was almost fourteen weeks old, having gone through a fire and being kidnapped, facing numerous hardships and challenges.She hoped to have a peaceful day today.Leanna, noticing Nancy's serious expression, walked over and leaned against the dressing table. "What's wrong, Nancy? Do you have something on your mind?"Nancy pursed her lips and raised her gaze, saying, "It was just an inexplicable feeling of unease."Leanna bent down and took her hand, "Don't be too nervous, Dalton has everything arranged. It's not a big deal if the flowers are a little wilted, Zoey is taking care of it."Just now, Zoe
After Nancy left, Leanna started urging Zoey to go to the hospital.Zoey said to modify Nancy's wedding dress before going, but Leanna couldn't wait and directly messaged Russell, saying that Zoey was feeling a bit unwell in the stomach and asked him to come pick her up.Leanna didn't joke about this kind of thing, Russell didn't even hold a meeting, he drove directly to come.Zoey was unaware of this, and was momentarily surprised when she saw Russell standing at the office door.However, she quickly realized that it must have been Leanna who sent him.Russell asked concernedly, "Why was your stomach feeling uncomfortable? Did you eat something cold or spicy? I was going to take you to the hospital, why were you still toughing it out? If Leanna hadn't messaged me, would you have kept enduring it?"Zoey had not answered the man's question yet, but Russell packed up her bag and was about to take her to the hospital.Zoey pursed her lip
The evidence of Susie's kidnapping and attempted murder is solid, so the Thatcher family came to demand justice, and the highest prosecutor's office in Lochcliff did not release the person.They resorted to threats and temptations, but it was in vain. Susie remained steadfast in her position.Susie's younger brother, Emmett Thatcher, went to see her. The man looked at her disheveled appearance and sneered, "Betrayed by your own people, how does it feel?"Susie looked at the madman in front of her and snorted, "If you came to see me as a joke, then get lost!""Tsk, you may look gentle, but your personality is really terrible. No wonder Randall didn't want you."Susie stared at him and suddenly got up to leave.Emmett laughed and said, "They were fighting for custody of Nacy, not to mention that the people from Lochcliff were quite powerful."Susie got excited and said, "That was my daughter, why did they take her away! Did Randall ask
Susie watched as Zoey and her group looked at her with indifference, and in an instant, she realized that they thought she was setting a trap for Nancy, when in fact, she was the one being lured into a trap.She boasted of her superior intelligence, but now she has fallen into someone else's trap, naturally feeling dissatisfied.She despised Randall, "I treated you well, and yet you sided with them! Why did you treat me like this?"Randall's eyes were cold and indifferent. "It was you who taught others how to treat you! Susie, you see me as a dog, but in my eyes, aren't you just a female dog?"Susie had never been subjected to verbal attacks, and she hated him so much that she suddenly pulled out a silver firearm from the waist of her bodyguard.Before she could pull the trigger, a syringe was shot into the back of her hand.In an instant, her entire arm became numb, and then half of her body followed suit. She couldn't hold herself up and k
Nancy was put on a black hood, and her heart was pounding.To be honest, she was very afraid of death now, because she still had a child in her womb.If she were alone, she would never become a burden or a weakness to anyone.As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would try to survive.The car drove for a long time before stopping. Nancy was taken out of the car and was unsteadily pushed towards the inside.Not knowing what she tripped over, she fell to her knees on the ground.She felt a sharp pain, as her arms were supported by two people and she continued to walk forward.It seemed like she had taken a few turns before she was finally put down by someone.Nancy's knee was hurting terribly, but she still stood up straight.Because the eyes couldn't see, the ears seemed to be particularly useful at this time.She heard a woman's voice, to be precise, Susie's voice.She had only met Susie twice, but th
Dalton's heart tightened suddenly as Russell fell silent.He subconsciously disagreed in his heart, after all, if Nancy were to encounter any problems, it would be a matter of life and death. He dared not take this risk.If not done so, Susie was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.Susie relied on the Thatcher family. The Thatcher family had their hands in both legal and illegal activities, secretly training assassins and having people specifically assigned to clean up crime scenes for the assassins. Therefore, she felt invincible.Russell came up with this idea because if Susie were to attack again at Lochcliff, he would have a way to detain her.However, the Thatcher family needed someone, and Russell had a way to incriminate her.Dalton remained silent for a long time, "You made me think about it."Russell did not persuade him anymore, because he knew Dalton would consider what consequences would develop if things con
This was the first time the two of them had a peaceful conversation, and it was surprising to see how harmoniously the rivals could get along.Randall chuckled lightly and said, "No need, I couldn't trouble you and Nancy."Dalton didn't like to drink coffee, but today he ordered an iced Americano, which was rare for him. The bitterness made him frown."I don't know how you could drink it."Randall caressed the walls of the coffee cup, "I suppose it was because my heart was too bitter, but after drinking this, it didn't feel as bitter anymore."Dalton looked at the man, who had been disheveled for several days, and without the initial hostility, he unexpectedly felt some sympathy.Randall laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't need sympathy.""Sorry," Dalton looked at him, "Nancy told me about your past. To be honest, if it weren't for those obstacles, you would have built a cozy little home together. I'm quite envious
After they received the certificate, Dalton moved Nancy's luggage from the apartment to his home.When she came back, Nancy had a feeling of things having changed.Although it was still in black and white, the cold tones didn't seem as cold anymore.Indeed, what affects one's emotions is not the environment but rather one's mood.Dalton saw her standing at the entrance and asked, "Why aren't you going in? Is it because you don't like this style of decoration? I was thinking that since you're pregnant, you shouldn't stay on the villa side anymore. Even if the newly renovated one is environmentally friendly, it may still have some odor. I'm worried that your morning sickness will be severe."Nancy couldn't smell pungent odors these past few days, such as garlic, chives, and onions.Dalton felt that this place was closer to his hospital, so if there was an emergency, it would be more convenient for him to rush back. Otherwise, staying at Nancy'
During Nancy's hospitalization, both Eugene and Chelsea came to visit.At that time, they still didn't know about her pregnancy.Chelsea cooked Manhattan clam chowder for her.She sat by the sickbed and fed Nancy.Nancy was very embarrassed, after all, her own mother had never treated her like this."I could do it myself."Chelsea shook her head and said with regret, "I have always hoped to have a daughter, but after giving birth to Dalton, my ovarian function deteriorated and I can no longer have children. When I first saw you, I liked you. You have a dignified and elegant appearance, although you can be a bit cold, but you don't give off an arrogant vibe. I was especially happy when you and Dalton got engaged. I know you both had reservations about the arranged marriage, but I believe you can make it work. Things were going as we expected, Dalton was in a good mood for a while, and he even called us without impatience. I knew your relation
