Chapter 345


    Dawson quickly offered his reassurance, "Attorney ra, Mr. Hayes will be alright. Maybe he''s


    already made his escape. He’s just out of range, and can''t contact us."


    Everyone''sforting words bolstered ra''s spirits. She lifted her teary eyes, her voice husky, "I


    know he won''t leave us behind. He''lle back."


    After wiping away a tear, she grabbed a cup of water and took a few hearty gulps. Then, turning to


    Dawson, she said, "Dawson, I could use a bite to eat. Could you grab me something?"


    Dawson paused briefly, then promptly replied, "Sure thing, I''ll go right now."


    Fifteen minutester, Dawson returned with a beef stew and a trio of deluxe sliders.


    ra sat on the hospital corridor bench, polishing off everything. Those around her watched her


    force down the food. Their eyes reddened with emotion. They all understood that ra was trying


    to pull herself together. She was waiting for her father''s surgery to seed and for Ian toe


    back. It took an immense amount of inner strength to adjust her emotions in such a short time.


    Finally, after a few hours, the operating room doors swung open. ra, who had been pacing


    anxiously, now stood rooted to the spot. Her legs felt as if they''d been filled with lead, immovable.


    Suddenly, she was gripped by a wave of nervousness, of fear. Fear that the doctor woulde out


    and say, "I''m sorry, we did everything we could."


    The person emerging was Chase, looking weary but with a faint smile ying on his lips. He looked


    in ra''s direction and called out, "ra, the surgery was a sess. Casey''s going to make it."


    Upon hearing those words, Sasha, who had been sitting in her wheelchair, suddenly stood up. She


    wanted to cheer wildly, forgetting, for a moment, that her cast-encased leg and the fracture had not


    yet healed. A sharp pain shot through her, and she couldn''t help but lunge towards Chase.


    Chase immediately opened his arms and caught her. A teasing chuckle emanated from above


    Sasha''s head. "Throwing yourself into my arms won''t help. There''s nothing I can do for you right


    now."


    Sasha caught the implication of his words and red at him irritably. "If it wasn''t for the fact that you


    helped save Mr. Casey, I''d strangle you."

    Chase let out a softugh. "Alright, Casey will be out soon. Go check on ra. She must be


    exhausted after all this waiting. Go get some rest."


    Only then did Sasha maneuver her wheelchair over to ra''s side, taking her cold hand and


    saying, "ra, it''s okay now. Casey''s pulled through. Be a good girl, and let''s get some rest."


    ra''s face was smiling, but her eyes were filled with glistening tears. "I''ll just see my dad and then


    rest. Don''t worry. I won''t let anything happen to me or the baby. We still have to wait for Ian toe


    back."


    The moreposed she was, the more it tugged at everyone''s heartstrings. It was only then that


    Edwin realized ra''s stubborn streak was just like May''s. Their personalities were so simr. Both


    appeared gentle and soft, but inside, they harbored a proud and stubborn core.


    His eyes reddened as he looked at ra, his lips curving into a handsome smile. Suddenly, his


    phone rang, and a deep, raspy voice came through. "How''s ra doing?"
