Chapter 297

Author: Luna Starling
Professor Caldwell gave a firm nod. “Good. Time is critical. We’ll aim to start the operation at the optimal window.”

After hanging up, Eric turned to him with a hint of uncertainty. “Professor, can we rely on Dr. Lawrence?”

Professor Caldwell replied without hesitation, “Dr. Lawrence is an excellent cardiac specialist. He’s already familiar with the patient’s case and understands the details. With his assistance, our chances of success will be significantly higher.”

Eric finally exhaled, nodding in relief.

But fate had other plans.

Just as their car approached the hospital district, the traffic ahead ground to a complete halt. A massive jam stretched as far as the eye could see.

Professor Caldwell frowned, peering out the window at the endless rows of unmoving vehicles. His chest tightened with impatience.

Eric leaned forward anxiously, scanning the road. “Why now? Of all times to get stuck in traffic!” He ran a hand through his hair, muttering under his breath.

Meanwhile, at

  • She Moved On and Glowed Up — Now Her Ex-Husband and Son Want Her Forgiveness   Chapter 306

    “Oh, Quinton, you’re awake!” Lily chirped, her tone overly bright. “Let me have a look at you, sweetheart. Does anything still hurt?”Hearing the voices inside, she didn’t care whether Travis wanted her there or not. She pushed the door open and slipped in, plopping herself down beside the bed as if she belonged there.But the moment Quinton saw her, his little face tensed. The memories came rushing back—the food she’d brought him, the sweets and snacks that had always made his stomach hurt afterward.“I don’t want you,” he said, glaring at her with teary eyes. Then he turned to Nora and reached for her hand, his voice trembling. “Mommy, I don’t want to eat those things anymore. I want to eat your cooking.”When he finally realized she was really there, he clung to her arm and started to plead softly, “Mommy, come home, okay? Don’t be mad at Daddy anymore. I’ll be good, I promise. I won’t make you angry again.”Those were the words Nora had longed to hear for months. Yet now, in

    Upstairs, Lily had overheard just enough of the conversation to catch the most important part, Quinton was in trouble. Without thinking twice, she rushed downstairs in a flurry.When Nora saw her coming, her face darkened immediately. The last thing she needed was Lily inserting herself into this. After all, everything that had gone wrong between her and Travis had somehow always circled back to her sister’s meddling.Still, this wasn’t the time to argue. The child came first. There was no point in wasting words.The three of them—Nora, Travis, and Lily—stood in a tense silence outside the pediatric ward.Lily tried to slip past Travis to peek inside, but he blocked her with one arm. “The doctor said he needs quiet right now. He’s getting IV fluids.”The meaning behind his words was obvious: she wasn’t welcome inside.Realizing that, Travis’s expression grew a little more serious. He could tell Nora wasn’t reacting the way she used to—no panic, no hesitation, just calm detachment

    Hearing Travis’s instinctive reply, Nora looked up at him with a faint frown.Caught by her questioning gaze, Travis awkwardly turned his head aside before quickly straightening his expression. “Don’t get the wrong idea,” he said stiffly. “He’s not just my son, you know. Even if we’re divorced, you still have responsibilities as his mother.”The words stung, though technically, he wasn’t wrong. Nora hadn’t planned on shirking her duties anyway. Still, seeing their son’s flushed cheeks and weak, feverish breathing made her heart ache.“You remember he’s not just your kid?” she asked coldly. “Then maybe explain why he’s in this condition. Is this how you ‘take care’ of him?”Of all the things she could tolerate, what she couldn’t stand most was that tone—that accusatory, self-righteous look he always gave her, as if she was the one at fault.“I didn’t mean for this to happen,” Travis said, his voice defensive. “I was working overtime. As soon as I got the call, I rushed back and bro

    The moment Eric left, Lily’s entire demeanor changed—like she’d been holding herself back and finally dropped the act.She got up and started pacing around the small hospital room, muttering under her breath. “Ugh, this place is tiny and stuffy. I can barely breathe in here. And really, do you think Eric’s even reliable? He just walks out like that, maybe that whole ‘urgent work thing’ was just an excuse to bail.”Nora frowned, her patience wearing thin. “Lily, can you not start? Eric’s got real responsibilities, and he’s already done more for us than he had to.”Lily scoffed. “More for us? You mean for you. He’s just trying to play the hero so you’ll fall for it. Look—he’s gone now, and who’s left to deal with Dad? Us. Typical.”Nora took a steadying breath, fighting to stay calm. “Lily, Dad’s our responsibility. Taking care of him isn’t something we push onto other people. And Eric helped save his life—you saw that yourself. Stop twisting things just because you’re jealous.”“Je

    A few minutes later, David’s fingers twitched slightly. The small movement didn’t escape Nora’s notice.“Dad! Dad, can you hear me?” she cried, her voice trembling with hope.Lily and Anne hurried to her side, eyes wide with anticipation.Slowly, David’s eyelids fluttered open. His gaze was unfocused, weak, as if he were trying to remember where he was.“Dad, how do you feel?” Nora asked, her voice catching in her throat.“I… what happened…?” His voice was rough and barely audible.Tears welled in Nora’s eyes. “Dad, the surgery went well. You’re safe now. You’re going to be okay.”Eric stood quietly by the bedside, watching the reunion with a warmth that reached deep into his chest. He stepped forward and said gently, “Sir, please rest. We’ll take care of everything. You don’t have to worry about a thing.”David managed a faint nod. His eyes lingered on Eric for a moment, as though trying to place him, before exhaustion took over again and his eyes drifted shut.“Dad?!” Lily’s

    Nora listened to Eric’s explanation and nodded thoughtfully. Someone like Professor Caldwell didn’t just rearrange his schedule for anyone. The fact that Eric had managed to persuade him to come said a lot about his connections and his sincerity.Standing nearby, Lily listened to their exchange, jealousy rising like bile in her throat. She forced a cold laugh. “So Mr. Woods has friends in such high places. Who would’ve guessed?”Eric ignored her sharp tone completely. His gaze stayed on Nora, calm and steady. “Don’t mind her,” he said softly. “The important thing is that your father made it through. You can finally breathe a little.”But Lily wasn’t ready to let it go. She raised her voice, determined to pull the attention back to herself. “Breathe? Not yet, Nora. The surgery’s done, but the real work starts now. We’ll have to keep an eye on Dad’s recovery around the clock—his diet, his meds, his rest. Every detail matters. And someone’s got to deal with all the hospital paperwork a
