Chapter 1441 Eye Surgery
Sonia instantly flushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. Goodness, I can''t believe my stomach grumbled because of Mrs. Gray''s broth!
Didn''t that mean she really wanted to have the broth Julia gave her?
Mary could sense her awkwardness and chuckled, "You don''t have to be embarrassed, Young Mistress Sonia. This broth smells delicious, and I can''t
stop wanting to try it.”
Raising her head, Sonia offered, "Have some too, Mary."
"Don''t worry about me. This broth is good for pregnant women. Why would you offer it to an olddy like me?” Mary shook her head and declined
Then, she passed a bowl of broth to Sonia.
Sonia took the bowl, and when she saw the delicious broth, her stomach grumbled loudly again while saliva pooled in her mouth. It was apparent that
her body was reacting well to the broth.
"Go on and have a taste, Young Mistress Sonia," Mary urged upon seeing Sonia holding the bow! without drinking it. "I scooped the bottom of the
broth to see what was in it. and the ingredients were indeed nourishing. Besides warming your body, it won''t do any harm, so don''t worry about it and
give it a try.”
Sonia hummed in response and scooped a spoonful before shoving it into her mouth. The pungent aroma of the broth immediately made her eyes
squint slightly.
Watching her reaction, Mary inquired, "How does it taste?” Considering how quickly she gulped it down, I''d say the broth is delicious.
Opening her eyes, Sonia scooped another spoonful and nodded. "Not bad. It''s edible.” It''s even more delectable than the meal Julia prepared the
night before. I could tell that she boiled the broth with sincerity.
Mary could tell that Sonia was saying it on purpose and couldn''t help but shake her head at the hrity of it. However, she felt relieved seeing Sonia
enjoy the broth without ill effects. She nned to call Julia soon to inquire about the broth''s ingredients and preparation, so she could boil it for Sonia.
While she had that thought in mind, the door to the ward opened. Tim came in in a white robe. Smelling the pungent aroma of the broth, he raised his
brow and inquired, “What are you eating?"
“You''re here." Sonia ced her spoon down and looked in his direction.
"Dr. Lancaster, Mrs. Gray dropped by and brought some broth. Young Mistress Sonia is having it now," Mary replied.
Hearing that, Tim knitted his brows. "You''re pretty bold to have what she gave you. Aren''t you afraid that it might be drugged?"
As soon as he said that, Mary and Sonia were taken aback.
"I guess not? Mrs. Gray is really kind to Young Mistress Sonia. I don’t think she''ll hurt her intentionally," Mary muttered.
At that moment, Sonia clutched the bowl in her hands tightly.
Walking over, Tim added, "Why not? Even though she’s your biological mother, you know a lot is happening between you two. I think you should be
wary anyhow."
Mary thought he was right, and she couldn''t help regretting her decision to bring the broth to Sonia. He''s right. What if something happens to her?
Hence, she quickly asked, "Do you feel any difort, Young Mistress Sonia?"
Sonia shook her head in response. "Not at all. I actually feel warm in my stomach. It feels good." It''s true. My belly has always felt a little saggy since I
was pregnant. Even though it didn''t hurt, it made me ufortable. When I drank the broth, I noticed a marked improvement in the difort in my
stomach. It has been reced by a pleasantly warm sensation, which has helped me to rx
Mary could finally heave a sigh of relief upon hearing Sonia''s answer. "That''s great! Still, I reckon that you should stop drinking for now. Let Dr.
Lancaster check the ingredients first.”
Then, Tim raised his chin in response. “Sure, but before that, I must check on your eyes. The cornea has arrived. Let’s decide when you should get
the surgery.”
"The cornea is finally here!" Mary eximed in excitement. "What great news! Did you hear that, Young Mistress Sonia? The arrival of the cornea
means you can get the operation dene! You can also ditch your sses soon."
Hearing that, Sonia also looked at Tim in excitement. Mary''s right! Who would want to wear sses when they can see with their own eyes? They''re
so heavy and inconvenient. "How is it my turn already?" While delighted, she couldn''t help but ask, "I remember that a dozen patients before me were
waiting for a cornea transnt, too, right?”
"Some of them transferred to another hospital, while some gave up on it. That''s why your turn quickly came. Don''t worry. You didn''t cut the queue,” he
reassured her.
Sonia knew he wouldn''t lie to her about something as serious as that. Hence, she nodded without asking further questions, and she was genuinely
excited.
“You may check on her eyes, then, Dr. Lancaster." Mary took the bowl from Sonia''s hand so he could check her eyes.
Tim hummed and fished out a torchlight from his pocket while walking over to the bed to check on Sonia''s eyes. After the examination, he opened her
medical record folder and started jotting down points while asking her some questions.
Once Sonia had answered all his questions, he nodded. "Okay. I understand your overall situation now. Your eye is in good condition, so we can
proceed with the surgery. Let''s arrange it for tomorrow at noon. I''ll be free during that time." Closing the folder with a p, he exined to her.
Sonia replied curtly in agreement.
"Sure. Let''s get the surgery done
tomorrow, buty Will the surgery cause
any harm tammy child?" After all, she
had always been wary about not <
ge ting-sick because she worried>
that the medication that she might
takewou d affect the child. She was
even more worried that if her
sickness was severe, sh&would
have no choice but to abort the
child. Hence, she was now
concerned whether surgery would
cause harm to the child in her belly.
On the other hand, Mary looked at Tim anxiously upon hearing Sonia’s question
Then, he pushed his sses upward. "Don''t worry. It''s only eye surgery, not anything serious. You don''t have to take any medication either after the
surgery. You only have to inject a local anesthetic during the surgery, which won''t affect the baby.”
After hearing that. Sonia and Mary breathed sighs of relief.
"Thank goodness." Mary patted her chest infort.N?velDrama.Org content.
After that. Tim headed to theb with the thermal sk in his hand. Mary tagged along to obtain the results as soon as possible. The test didn''t take
long, and he was out of theb in no time.
She sped her hands tightly and hurriedly questioned, “How did it go, Dr. Lancaster? Is the broth safe to drink?"
He handed the sk back to her and replied. "Yes. It really is a nutritious broth that benefits pregnant women. Sonia can rest assured of drinking it. I
misunderstood Julia.”
She was relieved to hear that. Smiling while taking the sk, she said, "Mrs. Gray doesn''t seem like she would harm Young Mistress Sonia.”
"Even so, you must still be wary. The
Grays might det hurt Sonia, but Toby
has many e emies. It''s hard to
predict whether those enemies wil! >
use Titus-and his wife to hurt Sonia
and Toby. From now on, everything
thats given by Mrs. Gray should be
brotight to theb for testing. I wil
let the other staff in theb know so
that they will also assist you
whenever I''m not in,” Tim advised.
Mary nodded and thought he sounded reasonable. "You''re right, Dr. Lancaster. We should''ve done so in the beginning. Next time, I will bring
everything over here for testing before giving them te Young Mistress Sonia. I''ll be taking my leave now, then."
"Sure," he hummed.
Carrying the thermal sk, Mary
went up to théward. She also gave
Julia a call oirthe way. However, she
