Chapter 248


    In the operating room, the brain-dead donor had been pushed in.


    The cold light shone onto the two operating tables beside each other.

    Everleigh washed her hands and changed into her sterile suit once again. When she entered the


    room, she saw Christopher standing in front of the operating table, looking at her as an assistant.


    "Have they signed it?" She asked.


    Christopher nodded. His hands, which were covered in gloves, were hanging in mid-air. He had a


    mask and a pair of goggles on. His usually yful eyes were deep and calm. "Theodore said he


    wants you to be the main surgeon."


    Everleigh was lightly startled, and there was a sh of astonishment in her eyes. She went straight


    to the operating table and said, "Get ready to open the chest."


    The operation went on for more than eight hours, and the day was already bright. There was only


    the sound of breathing in the quiet corridor outside the operating room.


    The moment the door of the operating room opened, everyone''s gaze fell on the doctor who came


    out.


    Theodore stood there without moving. His hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes met


    Christopher''s as he walked out.


    Christopher took off his mask and said, "The operation was sessful. The patient is no longer in a


    critical state."


    Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    The Godfrey family''s butler held onto Madison, who had almost fainted, and asked everyone to go


    back to rest first.


    Madison shook her head. Her eyes were swollen with tears. "I won''t go. I''ll stay here to apany


    Mom and wait for her to wake up."


    "Madam, you''d better go back," the butler said with a serious look on his face, "Even if Madam Scott


    wakes up, she can''t take another blow."


    Madison''s face, which was already pale, was drained of its color after hearing this.


    On the other side, Wilson got up while holding his still sleeping son, Hansen. His voice was not


    loud, and he was as gentle as usual. He said to Yvonne next to him, "Let''s go."


    She was also very sensible. She nodded and woke up her daughter, Loraine. The family of four


    nodded to Christopher before leaving.


    The corridor suddenly became quiet.


    "I won''t leave. I have to exin to Mom clearly. I haven''t done anything bad, so why must I take the


    me?" Although Madison''s voice was weak, she still refused to leave and the butler could do


    nothing about it.


    "That''s enough." Theodore nced sideways at her. His gaze was icy cold. "You can leave now."


    She was so frightened that she shuddered. She stared nkly at her son in front of her, unable to


    say a word.


    Christopher had seen this kind of situation many times.


    After being a doctor for such a long time, he had seen many things. The door of the operating room


    was also called the "Gate of Life and Death". Whenever the person who went in came out, there


    were only two possibilities. Once the door was closed, besides rtives and friends, human warmth


    was also separated from the operation room.


    Before leaving, he took a deep look at Theodore. For a moment, he felt sympathy for him.


    Theodore was a person who didn''t do anything, but was still the most guilty person.


    In the cardiology department, Everleigh copsed on the sofa after the surgery. She didn''t even


    have the strength to pour herself a ss of water.


    Knock, knock! There came a knock on the door. She responded weakly, "Come in."


    Christopher came in with two sses of milk. "Are you hungry?"


    "I''m not hungry. I don''t have the appetite."


    "I knew it. Drink some milk then."


    Then, he ced the straw into Everleigh''s mouth and said, "If you can''t hold it up yourself, I can


    hold it for you. The fee is 200 dors for such service."


    "Have you lost your mind after being poor?" Everleigh grabbed the milk and rolled her eyes at him.


    He took his ss and leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed. "It seems like I owe you money


    in myst life, doesn''t it? I barely managed to sneak out to take a vacation, but you pulled me back


    to the operating table."


    "It seems that I owed you a huge sum of money."


    "Just now, Theodore seemed like a walking corpse. How miserable."


    Everleigh stopped drinking the milk and said in a low voice, "Your change of topic is just too abrupt."


    "Do you want me to beat around the bush then?" He looked up at the ceiling. "Don''t go back today,


    and don''t answer the phone at home. I''ll go back and exin it to themter."


    After what happened the night before, the Meyer family and the Trevino family were left aside. At


    first, they had intended to talk about the wedding, but in the end, everything fell apart. Who could


    have expected this?


    Everleigh had no energy to think about anything else. At this time, she was only worried that her


    father would be in a bad mood after knowing all this.


    "I''ll talk to my dad. Your parents..."


    She hesitated for a while and said, "I will find time to apologize to them."


    "Why would you apologize?" He waved his hand. "I was the one who initiated the fake marriage.


    Wasn''t it to cheat them into giving me money that year? What does it have to do with you?"


    Although he said that, the Meyer family''s two elders had always treated her like a daughter-inw


    for a long time. They treated stair and Adrienne so well that Everleigh felt apologetic towards


    them.


    "As for the reputations of this family, you don''t have to worry about them." Christopher straightened


    up and nced at her. "We don''t need to deal with them anymore. Somebody has already blocked


    all the seals."


    Hearing this, Everleigh frowned slightly and knew who he meant without thinking.


    It was already noon. In the Bailey family''s vi on the outskirts of the city.


    "Miss Josephine, there''s news from the hospital saying that Madam Scott''s operation was


    sessful."


    Hearing this, Josephine''s face suddenly darkened. "That olddy is really tough."


    "I heard that themotionst night at the hotel was huge. On the Godfrey family''s side, even


    Wilson and Yvonne were there. Everyone was present in the family. The corridor of the operating


    room was crowded with people."


    "How could they not gather around on such an asion where the division of assets is at stake?"


    Josephine coldly snorted. "That old hag is really lucky. She was even able to find a suitable match


    for heart transnt, and the operation was even sessful."


    She gritted her teeth when she recalled that it was Helen who had messed up her marriage with


    Theodore. However, on second thought, if Helen died on the operating table, then it would be


    difficult for her to carry out her n.


    Thinking of this, she unlocked her mobile phone and dialed a number.


    After the phone was connected, she nced at the maid, who got the hint, and left.


    Josephine said as she walked to the balcony, "It''s me."


    A cautious female voice came from the phone. "Miss Bailey."


    "How is Madam Scott now?"


    "She has been sent to the ICU and her condition is temporarily not critical, but they can''t guarantee


    if there are any abnormal reactions after the examination."


    "When can they confirm that the surgery ispletely sessful?"


    "About... Half a month."


    Hearing this, Josephine thought for a moment. "Get ready with the thing I told you. We shall take


    action in half a month."


    The other party was shocked. "Miss Bailey, if we are discovered..."


    "Ten million. As long as you do it, ten million dors will immediately be transferred into your


    ount. Even if we''ve been discovered, it''ll just be a malpractice on your part. What are you afraid


    of?"
