Chapter 310 His Operation Was Successful
Watching him leave, Lucia suddenly felt upset and somehow lonely. standing beside Lucia, Paul saw
her expression, and his heart sank. After a pause, he took a deep breath and asked, "Do you still like
August?â
Hearing his words, Lucia was startled. She came to lier schise instantly, looked at him in a panic, and
shook her
head in denial, "No... no." Although it was a denial, she had no confidence. She looked at Paul in
front of her, grittet her teeth, and hesitated... She was tlustered about what happened just now. She
didn't know whether it was because of her
impulsiveness, or she had accepted Paul when she pot excited because of lacing August and
Jeanne... But in fact, she was indeel taking advantage of Paul just 110w. Now, what was done could
not be undone, and
she didn't know how to explain it.
Paul naturally saw that she had something to say, and even guessed what she was going to say. He
smiled at
her and said softly, "As for what I said to you just now in front of them, donât take it seriously. I was
just
helping you put on a show in front of them. Don't have any psychological burden.â When Lucia
heard this, she was somehow surprised. It seemed she hadn't expected Paul to be so frank. She felt
warm and said, âThank you.â He had helped her unconditionally again and again without asking for
anything in return. He was indeed a
gentleman. Paul smiled, "Okay, it's getting late, and the engagement ceremony is almost over. I'll
take you to dinner and
then take you home." Lucia smiled, did not refuse, and left the venue with him. After coming out of
the Southville Venue, Lucia unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at
ease. Paul took her to a nearby specialty restaurant for dinner and then drove her to the gate of her
community. When the car stopped, Lucia said goodbye to Paul with a smile before she got off the
car and walked toward the
community. Paul sat in the car and looked at her back with mixed feelings. He meant what lie had
said to Lucia in front of
Jeanne and August today and not a single word was false, His feelings for her had always been true.
In a blink of an eye, it was Sunday. Lucia didn't have time to rest and immediately rushed to the
hospital to visit
her father.
Lucia accompanied her father for a full pliysical examination. All the data were normal and her
father's
physical conditions were suitable for surgery. Lucia and Elisa both breathed a sigh of relief and
stayed by Bill's
side, waiting for the surgery.
The surgery was scheduled for Tuesday. Lucia took two days oll from the company to stay with her
father all
day.
On the day of the operation, Lucia saw her father being pushed into the operating room with her
own eyes.
After several hours of agonizing waiting, she finally saw the red light in front of the operating room
door turn
green. After the door opened, the chief surgeon, Dr. Long, came out first.
She stepped forward quickly with a pallid face. She moved her lips and was about to ask about her
father's
situation. Dr. Long looked at her, then at Elisa, and finally said with relief, "The operation was
successful. You
can rest assured.â Lucia felt that a lump came into her throat with excitement when she heard the
doctor's words, and tears
welled up in her eyes. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. From the moment her
father was
hospitalized, she had accompanied him through a lot of torment and suffering. Now that the
operation was
successful, it meant the end of suffering and the beginning of a new life. "Thank you, doctor. Thank
you so much, doctor!" Elisa was also overwhelmed with excitement. She thanked
Dr. Long repeatedly and looked back at Lucia with tears in her eyes. She held Lucia's hand excitedly
and said, "Lucia, we finally didn't wait in vain!"
Lucia nodded and looked at her mother, feeling somewhat sad.
Since her father was hospitalized, her mother had always stayed by his side, taken good care of him,
and never
complained. She looked much older now. Lucia opened her arms and hugged her mother
emotionally. Soon, the door of the operating room opened again, and a nurse pushed Bill out and
transferred him to the ICU
to observe his condition at any time. Lucia and Elisa stayed on the side, waiting for him to wake up.
Lucia had stayed outside the ward for a while when there suddenly came a clear male voice from
beside her,
"Lucia, Mrs. Mitchell!" Paul strode over with a worried look on his face.
Seeing him, Lucia somehow felt relieved. She took a deep breath and said, "Why are you here?" She
had heard that Paul had an important meeting for negotiation today. Even if Bill entered the
operating
room, she didn't dare to disturb him. She hadn't expected him to show up. Paul walked up to her
and said casually, "Mr. Mitchell is having surgery. How can I not be here? But I had
something to do and I'm late. How is Mr. Mitchell?"
Lucia glanced in the direction of the ICU and said, "The operation was successful, but my dad hasn't
woken up
yet."
With that, Elisa, who was standing at the window of the ward, suddenly said, "He woke up... Your
dad is
awake!"
Lucia and Paul were both startled. They stepped forward and saw Bill who was lying on the bed
slowly opening
his eyes.
"Call the doctor to come over and have a look!"
They were in a hurry and informed the doctor. Soon, the doctor came over and did various
examinations.
Everything was normal. Only then did the doctor inform Bill that he would be transferred back to
the ward.
They gathered around Bill and watched him being pushed into the ward. Although his face was pale,
he was
still in good spirits. Lucia was relieved. Slowly, Bill was able to speak, and he seemed to be in good
shape. Elisa was also very excited. She looked at Paul and said, "Paul, you are our lucky star! As soon
as you come
over, Bill, woke up!"
Paul smiled and said half-jokingly. "It's the first time I've known that I have this special ability."
Hearing his words, Lucia couldn't help laughing.
Bill had just finished surgery and was still very weak. But seeing them talk and laugh around him, he felt much
better. At the same time, as soon as August received the notification from Dr. Long that the operation was successful.
he immediately took time to rush to the hospital. Bill was his teacher, after all, so he would have to arrive as soon as
possible when the operation was
successful. Although he thought so in his heart, he somehow thought of Lucia, and immediately quickened his pace.
Walking through the corridor of the inpatient department, August walked towards Bill's ward with ease. Unexpectedly,
before he reached the door, he heard laughter coming from the ward. He paused slightly, walked
to the door, and looked up into the ward.
In the ward, Bill was lying on the bed. Elisa was sitting on his left, and two people were sitting side by side on
his right, Lucia and Paul!
The atmosphere in the ward was harmonious and pleasant. They were chatting and laughing harmoniously
like a family. August's heart tightened suddenly and a strange feeling came all over him. He couldn't help clenching his
fists. It turned out that Paul and Lucia had already reached this point. She had introduced Paul to her parents and
they got along so well. Were they going to get engaged next?
Thinking of this, August was burning with anger. He paused, turned around without hesitation, and walked
away quickly. If he went in now, wouldn't he become a third wheel that ruined the pleasant atmosphere?
