Kevin was not an expert in liver diseases, but he felt great relief when he saw a medical case labeled âMandy Pendletonâ heading into the operating room. Doctors were removing Bradleyâs dying liver to transplant Mandyâs healthy one into him.
Now that the liver transplant was successfully completed, Bradley would recover as long as there were no rejection issues with Mandyâs liver.
Kevin didnât continue watching the surgery. He trusted the hospitalâs medical expertise. With a pleased expression, he left the operating room and shared the good news with Jasper, who had been waiting outside.
âJasper, Bradleyâs surgery was a success!â
Jasper didnât share the same joy when he heard Kevinâs words. Instead, he anxiously asked, âKevin, given Estherâs current health, her liver donation-â
âHow could she donate her liver? Is she crazy?â Kevin snarled, cutting off Jasper.
âItâs too late. Esther is already in the operating room,â Jasper said with a pained expression. âMandy said if Esther didnât donate her liver as promised, she would cancel the surgery anytime. You knowâ¦â
Kevinâs expression darkened as he growled, âMandy truly is a Pendleton. Theyâre all the sameâ¦â
To prevent Kevin from saying more, Jasper volunteered. âYouâll take care of Bradley. Iâll check on Esther. Sheâs alone, and Iâm worried.â
âGo ahead. Keep me updated.â
âOkay.â
Jasper quickly left and headed to Estherâs operating room at Maria Hospital.
âExcuse me, Iâd like to know about Esther Quillâs surgeryâ¦â
The nurse glanced at Jasper, looking impatient. âSheâs in surgery. If you want information, please wait here.â
âAlright, thank you.â
Jasper sat down outside the operating room, staring at the âIn Operationâ sign. He only got up when the door opened.
âEsther-â When he saw Mandyâs face, he awkwardly stepped back. âSorry, I mistook her for someone else.â
The unconscious Mandy was wheeled into the hospital room.
Esther was also brought out from the operating room half an hour later. Her face was pale, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her features.
Esther looked like Sleeping Beauty, delicate and lovely as if she awaited the princeâs kiss to awaken her.
Jasper stayed by her bedside.
The nurses were deeply moved and envious of his selfless love. Every girl dreamt of having a knight in her life who would protect, cherish, and defy the world for her.
Compared to Bradleyâs mistreatment of Esther, Jasperâs silent protection made him a closer match to their ideal Prince Charming. He possessed qualities like handsomeness, wealth, devotion, knowledge, and a prestigious family background. In every aspect, Jasper was the dream man for countless women.
Because of this, the nurses attending to Estherâs room worked diligently, hoping to catch Jasperâs attention in their ways.
