Chapter 527


    When Aldyn rushed to the hospital, the surgery had been underway for several hours


    Caleb, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared when he saw Aidyn He quickly


    gave him the lowdown, then dashed back to the cabin to deal with Cameron and the goons who had


    hurt Mr. Laurence


    Aidyn took over Caleb’s post and anxiously paced outside the operation room while dialling Cedric’s


    number


    Cedric was in Jorvik setting up the proposal When Aidyn’s call came through, the bouquet in his hand


    dropped to the ground.


    Hailey saw this and casually thought Cedric was not being serious. She was about to give him a piece


    of her mind when she noticed his pale face


    “What’s up?” Hailey asked Cedric as she put down the floral crown she was holding, concerned


    Cedric said nervously, “Bernard’s been seriously injured. The proposal’s off. We need to head home


    ASAP!”


    Hailey asked nervously, “What happened? How did he get hurt all of a sudden?”


    Cedric grabbed Hailey’s hand and started walking briskly towards the airport, “I have no clue. Let’s just


    get home first….


    Cedric started contacting the Laurence family who were en route to Jorvik. He urged them to head


    straight to the hospital to see Bernard.


    At A City Hospital the family members started trickling in, each waiting quietly outside the operation


    room.


    Despite being arge family that had weathered many storms, they always managed to keep their cool


    in the face of adversity. Their worry for Bernard was evident in their tense expressions


    Inside the operation room, carts kepting and going carrying medication and sma. By eight in the


    evening, the surgery had been underway for six hours. The deputy director and the lead surgeon came


    out looking exhausted


    Removing their masks, they lowered their heads and said softly, “Mr. Laurence had two stab wounds


    on his back. They aren’t too severe. The main issue is his brain. It was hit three times. We managed to


    remove the clot but he’s still critical. If he doesn’t wake up in the next 48 hours, prepare for the


    possibility of him slipping into a deepa_


    Veronica swayed slightly at the news. A deepa could mean Bernard could end up in a vegetative


    state. He was the one holding the reins of the Laurence family How would they cope if he ended up like


    this? How would their grandfather handle the demise of his handpicked sessor?


    Veronica looked suspiciously at the deputy director. Something felt off.


    She asked bluntly, “Are you keeping something from us?”


    The deputy director, remembering Mr. Laurence’s instructions, quickly shook his head.


    Veronica didn’t buy it. In a cold, firm tone, she said, “You either spill the beans to me now or I’ll have


    someone investigate. And if it’s thetter, say goodbye to your career!”


    Hearing Veronica’s voice, Deputy Director Lee’s hands started to shake.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    With so many doctors and nurses involved in the surgery, this secret might be hard to keep.


    After some thought, he decided toe clean,


    “When I examined Mr. Laurence before, I discovered he had a brain disease. It was a deep–seated


    tumor. An open skull surgery would riska and paralysis. Mr. Laurence refused the surgery and


    chose conservative treatment. He also didn’t allow me to tell anyone.


    To prevent you all from worrying, he decided to go to W City for treatment. Based on our


    communication with the director of W City hospital, we decided to remove the tumor while cleaning the


    clot. The surgery has been sessful so far, but given the severity of his injuries, it’s unlikely hell wake


    up…”
