Aurelia and Leslie worked tirelessly toplete all the necessary examinations for Mr. Parker,


    Since it was an emergency room report, it came out faster than regr reports.


    The doctor received the report, narrowed his eyes, and shook his head solemnly.


    He spoke slowly, using many professional terms,


    He mentioned arterial narrowing, angina, and even stents and coronary artery bypass grafting


    Aurelia listened and frowned.


    She didn’t really understand what the doctor was saying.


    “The doctor means that Millie’s father needs surgery. The choice between a stent and bypass surgery depends on the family’s


    decision. One is cheaper, and the other is more expensive,” Leslie exined as he approached her.


    “How much?” she asked.


    “There are domestic and imported stents, but they usually only cost a few thousand. As for coronary artery bypass surgery, it


    should be in the tens of thousands.”


    The doctor nced at Leslie and nodded.


    “Yes, he’s correct. The patient''s blood vessels are rtively narrow. However, there are many blockages, which is very


    dangerous. | hope the family can make a decision as soon as possible.”


    Aurelia scratched her head in distress.


    She couldn''t bear to see Mr. Parker in this condition, especially considering her own experience with


    her mother’s critical illness.


    Aurelia hesitated to speak. She was thinking of Millie’s recent changes.


    “Doctor, we’re not the patient’s direct rtives. We can’t make such a big decision. Let’s wait for his wife and daughter toe


    before deciding.”


    The doctor nced at the report, then at the patient with a frown.


    “Contact his immediate family as soon as possible. The patient''s condition might get dangerous at any given moment.”


    Aurelia nodded and watched the doctor leave.


    As she turned around, Leslie was standing straight at the foot of the bed, looking at her..


    “Mr. Synder, do you think I’m heartless? It’s a matter of life and death, and I’m still hesitating.”


    Leslie slowly walked to her side, raised his hand, and petted her head.

    “you''ve already done well. This isn’t your duty or responsibility,”


    His movements were gentle, and his palm was warm.


    Its warmth spread all the way to Aure’s heart.


    She felt a lump in her throat,


    Ever since her father passed away, Seth showed his true face.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    During that period of the rtionship, she frequently doubted herself.


    She didn’t tell her mother as she didn’t want her to worry.


    Hence, she always just kept it all to herself.


    Leslie was the only one who saw through her pretenses and helped her whenever she needed.


    Leslie was different, but she couldn''t quite exin how.


    Still, this wasn’t the time for these thoughts.


    She nced at Leslie.


    “Till try giving Millie another call.”


    “Sure.”


    Leslie felt that Mrs. Parker couldn’t make the decision so Millie had to make the call.


    Millie couldn’t be reached. So Aurelia had to call her colleague and asked them to pass on the message


    to Millie.


    The colleague she called knew the urgency of the situation and promised to call Millie right away.


    Even so, they ended up waiting for another hour before Millie finally showed up.


    Before she arrived, the machine connected to Mr. Parker started ringing again.


    Startled, Aurelia felt a little helpless. Luckily, she had Leslie by ber side.
