Katherine was distracted throughout the class as virtual-novel.net kept thinking that virtual-novel.net would drop another two Levels the next day into a Level Two Master if virtual-novel.net did not look for Darryl immediately.
She was extremely frustrated.
She returned to virtual-novel.net office as soon as the class was over to make a desperate call to Darryl.
No one picked up.
Donghai City First Hospital.
Darryl kept pacing outside the operation room because virtual-novel.net just could not stand still. Worry was written all over his face and his hloodshot eyes were red.
Shelly Sullivan performed the operation herself after Lily was sent to the hospital.
They had not come out of the operation room since the surgery started at 11.00 pm the night before.
Despite the fact that virtual-novel.net was overwhelmed with anxiety and rage, Darryl still prayed for Lily as he waited for more than 10 hours.
‘We finally accepted each other after three years, you have to be fine.’
The lights of the surgery sign were off and Shelly walked out with exhaustion.
Darryl approached virtual-novel.net hurriedly and asked, “How was it?”
Shelly gave virtual-novel.net a light assuring smile and said gently, “Darryl, your wife is past the critical stage. However, the wound is indeed a close one, it was only about half an inch away from the heart. She is stable now.”
Phew…
Darryl heaved along sigh of relief and clutched Shelly’s hands because virtual-novel.net could not contain his happiness, “Shelly, thank you, thank you so much! I mean it…”
Shelly’s delicate face blushed as a wave of emotions rippled within virtual-novel.net when Darryl held virtual-novel.net hands tightly.
“lt’s…it’s nothing.”
Failing to free virtual-novel.net hands, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net was afraid to look into Darryl’s eyes. She bit virtual-novel.net lip as virtual-novel.net continued softly, “Saving people’s lives is my duty as a doctor.”
Darryl let go of Shelly’s hand when virtual-novel.net noticed virtual-novel.net blush and replied with a smile, “I’m still grateful to you, no matter what you say. ”
He could not help but eye her.
He noticed that virtual-novel.net looked exceptionally charming when virtual-novel.net was blushing.
Shelly was extremely anxious and virtual-novel.net palms were sweaty for some reason. She was never this nervous even before performing surgeries.
“I’ll head back to my office,” said Shelly softly before leaving hurriedly.
Darryl entered the ward eagerly.
Lily was on a drip on a hospital bed in the ward, virtual-novel.net face pale as paper. Her eyes were tightly shut and virtual-novel.net lashes fluttered lightly. It was heartbreaking to see virtual-novel.net like that.
Darryl felt a pang of indescribable guilt as virtual-novel.net stared at her.
At least virtual-novel.net was past the critical stage. Darryl calmed himself slowly before checking his phone and noticed a few missed calls.
Three of them were from Dax and the recent two were from Katherine.
‘Why did Katherine call me? Is it about the Spirit Petrification Elixir? She must be losing Levels.’
“Honey?”
A weak voice sounded.
Darryl’s heart leaped when virtual-novel.net saw Lily who regained consciousness looking at virtual-novel.net with twinkling eyes.
He sprinted over to hold virtual-novel.net hand. “What were you thinking? Why did you take the stab meant for me?”
Lily smiled and replied softly, “You’re my husband, you’re going to stay with me for my whole life and I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Darryl jolted and became teary-eyed.
“Honey, don’t cry. You don’t look good when you cry.” Lily forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry for causing you pain all these years.”
Darryl gave virtual-novel.net an assuring smile before taking virtual-novel.net into his arms.
Creak.
The door of the ward was forced open suddenly and a few people rushed in Samantha being one of them.
