Chapter 121: She mes Herself


    “Um… ” Sarah wanted to exin that she couldn''t give it to him but was unable to find the words when


    she saw how much he liked it and decided not to say anything. Charles hadn''t seen the tie yet after all,


    and Daniel didn''t know where the tie came from, so there would be no problem, given that she was the


    only one who knew the real story behind it. Nothing would happen if she herself didn’t say anything.


    Daniel looked at Sarah’s gift with great happiness. After looking at it carefully for a while, he said, “The


    tie is wonderful. Zegna is a big international brand; this tie must be at least around one thousand


    dors. How can you say that it is not good? I’ll give you something in returnter!”


    “Ah… There''s no need to give me anything in return, really.” She quickly refused.


    But Daniel remained firm. “No, I must. As the saying goes, ‘Give peaches in return for a plum.’ I have to


    give you in return!” Daniel was actually just looking for an excuse to give her a present. He wanted


    Sarah to have one thing given by him.


    Sarah noticed how stubborn he was and didn’t refuse any longer. They drove back to the hospital,


    unaware of how many problems they would get into in the future because of this tie.


    Though the restaurant was not that far away, they spent half an hour driving back to the hospital


    because of traffic. Sarah was afraid that Mr. Thomas would be waiting for her and that he''d be hungry,


    and went quickly upstairs after getting out of the car when she unexpectedly heard Daniel yell behind


    her. “Little girl!”


    Sarah looked back in amazement because Daniel had not called her that for a long time. He had


    always called her “little girl” back in the days when they had been little.. Unexpectedly, he called her


    that again now. She turned around and looked at him.


    Danielughed and said, “Thank you for your gift. I’ll wear it to work tomorrow!”


    Daniel smiled at her. “Thanks for your gift. I will wear it tomorrow!”


    Sarah smiled and waved at him before she hurried to bring the food to Mr. Thomas. Unexpectedly, she


    found the door to his room wide open, and Mr. Thomas was nowhere to be seen. Knowing that Mr.


    Thomas was too weak to get out of the bed, Sarah didn’t know where to look for him. cing the food


    on the table, she was about to look for him when a nurse came in and confronted her. “Where were you


    all this time? We looked everywhere for you. While you were out, Mr. Thomas suffered another heart


    attack; he''s in the operating room right now!”


    Sarah felt like someone was hitting her on her head. She stared at the nurse in shock. Not wanting it to


    be true, she asked bewildered. “What?” and rushed to the operating room without giving the nurse time


    to answer. Running, she shouted, “Dad!” but when she reached the room, the door was closed, and the


    doctors were busy trying to save Mr. Thomas''s life. Sarah was at a loss at what to do. She knocked on


    the door in desperation and called out to him. “Dad, dad!”


    She med herself for leaving him alone and, at the same time, was worried about his condition. She


    shouldn’t have talked with Daniel for so long, leaving Mr. Thomas alone in the room. How could she


    have done that? It''s all her negligence to leave him behind.


    The nurse came to stop her and tried to calm her down. “Ms. Sarah, they already started the operation,


    you shouldn’t disturb them. Let the doctors concentrate on their job!”


    Sarah realized that the nurse was right, and she probably shouldn’t be so loud, but she was so anxious


    and worried about Mr. Thomas that all she wanted was to be on his side so he wouldn''t be alone.


    Realizing that she shouldn''t distract the doctors, she grabbed the nurse’s hand and asked in a


    desperate voice, “How could he have another heart attack so sudden?”


    The nurse took her hand and pressed it gently. “We don’t know the exact reason. We heard the beeper


    going off, and when we reached his room, he was already on the floor, unable to say anything. All we


    could do was rush him into the operating room and have faith in the doctors.”


    Sarah couldn''t help but me herself for leaving Mr. Thomas alone for so long. The nurse squeezed


    Sarah''s hand again and left.


    Pacing back and forth for a while, Sarah thought that she should call Charles. Although she wasn''t


    happy to call him after the scene with Emma this morning, she had no choice but to call him and inform


    him about what had happened, given that it was a life or death situation.


    To Sarah''s surprise, Charles was already informed by the hospital and was on his way to the hospital


    with Christina and Emma.


    Sarah sat outside the operating room in the waiting area and waited for Charles to arrive. When she


    saw theming in, Sarah quickly stood up and walked towards them. Before she was able to say


    anything, Christina asked in a cold and indifferent tone, as if she was scolding Sarah. “What’s wrong?”


    Feeling ufortable, Sarah answered. “I went to buy some food for dad at noon because he asked


    for chicken soup, but when I came back, I found that he was in the operating room. I don’t know what

    happened.”


    Christina became extremely angry, looking like something possessed her. Unexpectedly and to


    everyone''s surprise, she suddenly pped Sarah in her face. Everyone in the area looked at them,


    including the doctors and nurses, stopped and stared at them, curious about what was going on.


    Shocked, Sarah covered her face with one hand, staring at Christina in disbelief. It had never urred


    to her that Christina would p her in public, especially in a situation like this.
