Chapter 682 The Surgery Went Well


    Christine was so enraged that her face turned pale. To ease her anger, Kristina hurriedly rified,


    “Christine, it''s not what you thought. We met by chance outside days ago. We’ve only known each


    other for a couple of days. No one is ganging up on you or anything. Believe me.”


    Max didn’t want his mother to grow angry at this time either.


    Thus, he also exined, “Yes. I and Laura meet new people every day. How can we know which of


    them has a past with you? We can’t really call you and name each of our new acquaintances to you


    every day, right?”


    His tone sounded a little sad.


    Christine had not imed she was the victim yet, but her son was acting like the victim instead. That


    made herugh despite her rage.


    “Fine. You just gotta confront me. I can’t beat you in arguing anyway. Fine. I won’tin about this


    anymore, satisfied? Do whatever you like. I can’t tell you what to do, nor do I want to.”


    Then, she stomped to the side and sat down, sulking.


    This moment was rather awkward.


    Max looked at Kristina, who shook her head helplessly.


    In the end, Max had no choice but to walk up to Christine and say, “Mom, don’t be angry. Okay, we’re


    sorry. But I’m your son. Do you not trust your own son?”


    Christine was still silent. inly, she was still in a sulk.


    Max rubbed his temples, feeling troubled.


    Just then, the light above the door of the surgery room went off.


    Though the three were having a falling-out, they all kept looking at that light from the corner of their


    eye.


    When the light went off, they all perked up and got to their feet.


    Shortly, a doctor walked out from inside.


    “Which of you are the patient’s family?”


    Max and Christine hastily took a step forward.


    “I am!”


    “Me too!”


    The doctor nced at them. This was a public hospital. As the patient was delivered here in a rush, the


    doctor didn’t get to check the patient’s identity.


    Thus, he didn’t know who the two were either, nor did he have time to look into it because he had just


    finished the surgery


    The doctor said in a deep voice, “The surgery went very well. The patient is stable now. But his leg and


    several ribs have been severely fractured. You should pay attention that he can’t move aroundtely.


    He’ll recover after six months of rest in bed.”


    The three instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It was as if a load had been taken off their minds.


    “Thank you, doctor.”


    “Thank you so much, doctor.”


    The doctor waved at them and said, “The patient hasn’t woken up yet. You can see him in the ward in a


    moment. The nurses will tell you the rest about how to take care of him.”


    The three nodded vigorously.


    Soon, they saw nurses push a hospital bed out of the surgery room.


    Chad was still unconscious. His face looked pallid at the moment. At this, Max and Christine felt


    overwrought.


    Kristina was standing behind them. Yet, she was stupefied at the sight of the man in the hospital bed.


    That man was in her entire teenage life.


    She loved and admired him. She saw him as a man that she would pursue for the rest of her life.


    Hence, in those years, she thought of and cared for no one but him.


    She thought that man was single at that time.


    However, she had no idea that he was actually dating her sister, Christine.


    “Had I known that…


    “I definitely wouldn’t do that kind of thing.”


    On that wild night, Kristina herself couldn’t remember whether she did it with Chad.


    All she knew was that the next morning, she woke up and found herself lying in the wedding bed where


    Christine was supposed to be.


    And Chad stared at her in shock and disbelief, as though she was a total stranger to him.


    She knew what she did was wrong. She shouldn’t have fallen for Chad.

    Nor should she have been carried away by her feelings for Chad and shamelessly tricked Chad into


    having sex with her with alcohol, though she knew clearly Chad was marrying Christine.


    What she did not only hurt Christine and Chad but also herself.


    For all those years, she stayed in a foreign country and reflected on this every day.


    Every time she thought of that night, she felt like tens of thousands of ants were gnawing her. The


    agony could actually crush her heart.


    But today, after 26 years, Chad appeared once again in front of her.


    But she was surprised to find that her feelings for him were no longer that strong.


    She used to think that she would strive to be with him at all costs. Yet, now, she found that thought


    rather ridiculous.


    Standing there, Kristina felt all sorts of feelings well up.


    But the others didn’t notice the change in her emotion.


    Now that Chad had pulled through the surgery, everyone was relieved.


    They then closely followed the moving hospital bed and headed for the ward.


    Chad’s ward was in the top VIP area.


    The staff didn’t know Chad’s identity before. But after the admission procedures were handled, they


    naturally learned about who he was.


    Since they all knew Chad was the chairman of the Nixon Group, they offered him their best service.


    Soon, the group arrived at the ward.


    The staff carried Chad to the new bed. Max and Christine both stayed in the ward to look after him.


    Seeing that Chad was awake now, Kristina felt that she no longer need to stay here.


    She already told Christine everything she wanted her to know in the cafe earlier today.


    Whether she could figure out the rest depended on herprehension.


    It was the way with people. Sometimes, a thorough exnation was not necessary.


    She just needed to point out the gist. As for the rest, it now relied on luck.


    If Christine really chose not to believe a word of what she said and refused to give her a second


    chance, then there was nothing she could do.


    Thinking about that, Kristina prepared to say goodbye to Max.


    “Max, now your father is awake and stable, I’ll get going now.”


    Though Max was clueless about what had happened between Kristina and his mother, he could tell that


    his mother didn’t want Kristina in the room.


    Thus, when Kristina came to take her to leave, he nodded understandingly.


    “Okay. Do you need me to give you a ride?”


    Kristina shook her head.


    “Thanks, I’m good. I drove here myself.”


    Max didn’t insist then.


    After Kristina left, Max turned around to appraise his father in the hospital bed and sighed.


    “Dad, everything''s fine now. Mom, did you call Kevin?”


    Christine was stunned. Just then she thought she had forgotten that.


    Thus, she immediately told Max to call Kevin and tell him that his father was okay.


    After receiving Max’s call, Kevin heaved a sigh of relief too.


    Thankfully, his father was fine, and he had managed to keep thepany running normally. Since the


    emergence was lifted, Kevin didn’t have to rush over at once. Hence, he and Max agreed that he could


    <pe to check on their father after work.
