    Chapter 1906 Sessful Operation


    Lucius listened with great interest as Larry told the story in an animated manner as though he was


    living out the character in thetter’s story.


    “Dad, why are you different before and after the operation?” Lucius asked curiously.


    Larry hesitated for a moment and then tapped his son’s forehead yfully. “I will tell you all about it


    after you’re fully recovered.”


    Lucius’ eyes dimmed in the next instance.


    This was actually Larry’s way of leaving suspense in his story; a hope for Lucius to hold on and look


    forward to.


    “Dad, when will I undergo my operation?” Lucius asked out of the blue.


    Larry was momentarily stunned but soon resumed hisposure. I just wanted to paint a less scary


    picture for the surgical operation. I didn’t expect him to…


    “Lucius, why are you suddenly asking me this?” Larry asked while stroking his son’s hair lovingly.


    “You said you’ve be stronger after your surgery, so I want to be like you too,” Lucius answered


    matter-of-factly.


    Lucius’ response caught Larry by surprise.


    “So, you want to go ahead with your operation? Sure, buddy. Why don’t I arrange with the doctor?”


    Larry said with a wistful smile and pulled Lucius closer to him.


    He is just a kid. Why does he have to suffer so much?


    At that thought, Larry’s expression grew grim.


    “Alright, Dad. I’ll go with your arrangement,” Lucius said with a bright smile.


    Lucius was not unaware of what was happening around him for the past few days. In fact, he knew


    precisely that his parents and grandmother were troubled by his uing operation.


    He had overheard a conversation between Delh and the doctor about tumor and surgery the other


    day and managed to put two and two together. Instead of watching the adults trying hard to tiptoe


    around him, Lucius decided to save them the hardship of breaking the difficult news to him by


    proposing to undergo surgery himself.


    “What? Lucius said that he wanted to go through the operation?” Joan looked at Larry in disbelief.


    The man shifted his gaze from Joan to Delh and nodded resolutely.


    “That’s because he was aware of it,” Delh said weakly.


    After all, she knew Lucius’ personality well. He was someone who always put others before himself,


    and Delh had always thought that the child was too mature for his age.


    A glint of sorrow shed past Joan’s eyes upon hearing that.


    Soon after that, they started making arrangements for the operation.


    “You’re going to be okay, Lucius. Try to rx,” Joanforted her child who was lying on the hospital


    bed before being pushed into the operating theater.


    Delh, on the other hand, was all teary-eyed and dared not look directly at Lucius.


    “Mom, please tell Grandma that I’ll be okay and ask her not to worry,” Lucius muttered to Joan in a


    lowered voice.


    “Mrs. Norton, we have to go into the operating theater now,” the doctor said while trying to pry away


    Joan’s grip on the bed railing.


    Finally, Lucius was sent into the operating theater.


    Delh sat on the bench and buried her head in her palms, overwhelmed by anxiety and agitation.


    While Joan was pacing nervously up and down the corridor, Larry’s eyes were glued to the operating


    theater as though he might miss something important if he blinked.


    The only other adult on the scene was Dustin, whose inexplicable gaze had been studying Joan with


    his brows slightly furrowed.


    After what seemed like forever, the light above the operating theater was still shining bright. Delh


    asked anxiously, “Joan, why is this taking so long?”


    “Soon, Ms. Young. It’ll be done soon,” Joan tried to reassure both herself and the elderly woman in a


    shaky voice.


    Thud!


    Finally, the light was turned off as the surgeon came out of the operating theater while wiping beads of


    sweat off his forehead.


    “Doctor, how’s my son?” Joan asked while holding tight onto the surgeon’s arm.


    The doctor closed his eyes and took a deep breath before announcing calmly, “Don’t worry, the surgery


    was sessful. But he will need some time to recuperate.”All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Joan and Delh brightened up instantly at the good news.


    “Thank you so much, doctor,” Delh eximed excitedly.


    “He’s here,” Larry said when Lucius’ bed was pushed through the operating theater doors.


    The sight of her son lying on a hospital bed with his face as pale as a sheet was agonizing for Joan.
