    The surgerysted a grueling eight hours. Dewitt had just returned from a long–haul flight when he


    was whisked into the marathon operation, leaving him visibly drained as he emerged from the OR


    with a pale


    “How are you feeling?” Cyril initially wanted to inquire about his sister’s condition but seeing Dewitt’s


    pallor, he immediately shifted his concern onto him, Dewitt smiled weakly but assured him he was


    fine.


    “Rest easy, I’m alright, and your sister will be okay too. She’ll need to recuperate peacefully for a


    while, and the doctors here can handle her aftercare. I’ll be heading back now, but if you need


    anything else, feel


    free to give me a call.”


    With a friendly smile to Cyril, Dewitt said his goodbyes and prepared to leave. Cyril wanted to


    show his


    gratitude to Dewitt, perhaps invite him for a meal, but seeing Dewitt’s exhaustion, he decided to wait


    until


    Dewitt had adequately recovered.


    After the whole ordeal, it was already nighttime when Dewitt finally arrived home. The family was all


    there, except for him.


    “You’ve got to be kidding, where have you been all afternoon? The big guy was about to send out a


    search


    party for you,” ke scolded his younger brother with affection, looping an arm around Dewitt’s


    neck and ushering him to sit down.


    Despite his fatigue, Dewitt was ted to see his family, especially his sister Sylvia, whom he had


    not seen in years. Ignoring ke’s chatter, he gently removed ke’s hand from his shoulder and


    walked over to Sylvia, embracing her tightly.


    “It’s good to see you’re doing well,” he said warmly.


    When Sylvia had gotten married, Dewitt was abroad. Although he had operated on Cyril and knew


    he was


    a good man, Dewitt had been reluctant about their marriage but had respected Sylvia’s decision.


    Now, seeing her happy back at home brought him joy, and Sylvia was thrilled to be reunited with her


    brother


    after so long.


    “Where’d you get to this afternoon? I’ve been trying to call you,” Sylvia asked curiously. Knowing of


    her


    third brother’s return, she had immediately tried calling him, but every call went unanswered, and


    she had


    no idea what Dewitt had been up to.


    Dewitt felt a bit embarrassed, as it seemed that no one had informed Sylvia of his arrival, intending


    it to be a little surprise for her.


    “This afternoon, I was performing a surgery, so it’s normal that you wouldn’t know I was back. Don’t


    worry about me, I’m fine. Oh, by the way, do you want to go see your sister–inw about the


    ident?” Dewitt suddenly remembered to inform Sylvia about Bonnie’s situation.


    But as he finished speaking, the whole family fell silent, surprised by the mention of Sylvia’s sister–


    inw. They all looked to Stanford, knowing if Sylvia did have a sister–inw, it had to be


    connected to him


    somehow.

    “Why are you all looking at me?” Stanford protested. “As far as I’m aware, our mother only had you


    three kids; there’s no one else, so don’t jump to conclusions.”


    “It’s not our fault for being confused,” Balk retorted. “We just don’t know where this ‘sister‘ came


    from.”


    Dewitt exined to his confused family, “I was talking about Cyril’s sister. She was involved in a car


    ident today, and I performed surgery on her, which is why I was dyed. Since you were rted


    to him, shouldn’t you visit her to see how she’s doing?”


    In Dewitt’s view, Sylvia, having been part of the family, should naturally want to check on Bonnie.


    But the mention of Bonnie caused a collective sour expression, especially from Bruce, who typically


    mastered the art of hiding his emotions in his role overseeing the family business.


    “You performed surgery?” Sylvia was unaware of Bonnie’s ident, and Dewitt’s involvement was

    Sensing that something was amiss, Dewitt grew anxious. “Yes, a few years back, I did surgery on


    Cyril, so when he called asking for help, I had justnded and went straight there. Did I do


    something wrong?”


    Sylvia opened her mouth to reassure her brother that he hadn’t erred, but she remembered that as


    she and Cyril were divorced, there was no obligation for Dewitt to perform the surgery.


    “Bruce, didn’t you have inte ess in theb?” Balk’s vexation with Dewitt was evident. He


    always knew Dewitt wasser–focused on his experiments, often to the exclusion of all else.


    “Do I need the inte for something?” Dewitt was genuinely perplexed; his long research hours left


    little time for browsing online.


    Bruce approached and patted Dewitt on the shoulder, “Since you’re back, you should go online and


    catch up with what happened.”


    Their insistence made Dewitt sense that he had missed something significant. He immediately


    pulled out his phone and Googled Cyril’s name. Numerous articles about the divorce between Cyril


    and Sylvia filled the screen. Dewitt scanned the headlines, shocked at the news of their separation.


    With eyes wide in disbelief, it dawned on him that he had been out of the loop for so long. Now that


    Cyril and Sylvia were no longer together, why he had agreed to operate on Bonnie at all!
