Chapter 547

Penulis: Flower Sock
Giselle's fingers curled tightly, and it was only through hard effort that she managed to keep her voice from cracking or shaking. "Is it serious? What's the treatment plan?"

"As things are, we'll need to remove it surgically…"

The words had only just left Louie's mouth when Giselle clutched his arm and stared at him with red-rimmed eyes. "Save him, Louie."

Louie made no reply, for his own eyes prickled when he saw Giselle's eyes turning red with tears. He couldn't even speak.

When Giselle did not hear his response, she panicked. "Louie, can't you just be fair and leave your grudges out of this?"

"Get out!" Louie rubbed the corners of his eyes and turned away from her.

Giselle stopped short after he yelled at her. She chewed on her lower lip, but rose and left the consultation room anyway.

It was only after the door slammed shut that Louie fell apart. He took off his glasses just as his tears streamed down his cheeks like strings of pearls. "Damn it…"

He pulled a couple of tiss

  • Why the Crocodile Tears?   Chapter 548

    But the moment lasted for only a second before Louie and Giselle broke eye contact.Louie cleared his throat and straightened up to check on Gabriel. Giselle watched Louie leave with a thoughtful look in her eyes.It was four in the morning when Louie finally wrapped up his work and returned to his office, his body weighed down by exhaustion. He'd planned to get some shut-eye on the couch, only to find that a certain someone had rudely claimed the couch for himself and sprawled on it with shameless ease."What are you still doing here?" Louie's rage could ward off even the most vengeful spirit wandering the halls of the hospital."Because Annie hasn't left," Gregory replied matter-of-factly, crossing his legs. "Naturally, I'll be staying to keep her company.""You think she gives a damn whether you're here or not?" Louie scoffed, wondering about Gregory's baseless confidence and self-importance. "She's got Theo now. You won't even stand a chance at remarrying her—"Before Louie c

    Louie moved so suddenly that he startled even himself. His heart skipped a beat and now thumped wildly against his ribcage.Gregory cast a sidelong glance at him, his gaze full of implication. "Pull yourself together, Mr. Anderson."Louie cleared his throat, then regained his composure like nothing happened and said casually, "I should head to the ER. Make yourself comfortable."He strode out of the office before Gregory could respond and did not even dawdle for a second.In truth, Louie didn't know what had come over him, either. His heart had been racing since he heard the patient's last name was Chamberlain, but it wasn't as if it was unique to Giselle; surely there were others in the world who had that last name.After talking some sense into himself, Louie gradually calmed down. He stopped before the patient's bed and pulled the drape aside. His breath hitched when he met the patient's gaze. It really was Giselle.Louie went still for a few seconds, then snapped out of his d

    Louie's lips curled, and only then did he walk up to Anathea. "If you insist on staying the night here at the hospital, you can request a caretaker's room.""Thank you, Dr. Anderson," Anathea replied courteously."What about me? I want to stay, too," Theo piped up.However, Louie said ruefully, "I'm afraid there's only one room left, and it isn't big enough for you to bunk in. It's best if you go home and not complicate things here.""Fine," Theo agreed reluctantly. He stood beside Anathea and said softly, "I'll stay here with you for a bit before I go, then."Anathea made no reply, her eyes fixed on Adam, who lay unconscious in the hospital room. She grasped her fingers every once in a while.Louie knew she was worried and needed space. As such, he made no further comment and turned to leave.He returned to his office shortly after, only to find the door slightly ajar. Amusement flickered across his face as he pushed the door open. Sure enough, a certain someone had made himsel

    "Doctor, how's my dad?" Anathea asked anxiously."Mr. Jacobson's fingers showed some response earlier, and there were some obvious changes in his vitals that indicate he may soon regain consciousness. He should wake up in the next 24 hours," the doctor explained by way of comforting Anathea."I see. Thank you, doctor." Anathea looked like a weight had been lifted off her chest. It was true: her father would wake up soon. Her gaze fell on Adam, who lay still on the bed, her emotions like a tempest.Meanwhile, the doctor stopped before Gregory and addressed the latter respectfully, "Mr. Sinclair, these are the previous medical records from the doctor abroad. Please have a look."Gregory took the records and nodded slightly. "Thank you.""Oh, don't mention it, Mr. Sinclair. This is all in a day's work," the doctor replied sycophantically. "It's our honor to serve you."After all, Gregory had made them an offer more lucrative than anything they'd imagined! It shocked even the most se

    Anathea curled her fingers, an odd look flickering in her eyes as she noted her proximity to Theo. His scent enveloped her like an unyielding mist, invading her space and leaving no room for escape.But the next second, Anathea's phone rang, shattering the strange tension between her and Theo.As though saved by divine intervention, Anathea quickly backed out of Theo's embrace and fished out her phone. She froze when she saw Castena Central Hospital's number flashing on the screen.A sense of foreboding suddenly gripped her. Did something happen to Adam? Her breath hitched, and her heart raced uncontrollably. She willed her fingers to stop shaking and exhaled to calm down, then put the call through. "Hello?""Ms. Jacobson…" The doctor's calm, steady voice sounded on the other line, but his next words made Anathea's heart leap to her throat. "Mr. Jacobson, your father, has responded."Anathea nearly forgot how to breathe at that moment. Her eyes prickled and turned red with tears,
