Fortunately, everyone in the room wore masks, so her true intentions couldn’t be discerned from her face.
“The Yoris family has plotted against me more than once. To prevent any mishaps, I invited someone else for this surgery.”
Cora’s words made Jane squint slightly.
Clearly, this was not the situation Jane had hoped for.
If there were no other people present, she could have easily tampered with the surgery without anyone else daring to speak up. In that case, the blame would solely fall on Cora’s shoulders.
After all, as a Yoris, Jane had the final say of everything happened in this hospital.
However, with Cora inviting someone else, Jane knew that she wouldn’t be able to carry out her plan.
Just then, the operating room door opened once again, and Evan came inside.
“I’m only here upon Cora’s invitation to check on the process of this surgery, not to participate in it.”
Even though Evan clarified his role, his appearance greatly boosted the morale of those participating in the surgery.
Only Jane discreetly tightened her hands resting beside her thighs…
Once the surgery began, Cora became fully focused and immersed in her work.
“Clamp!”
“Wipe my sweat.”
On the other side, outside the operating room, the Hansen family anxiously waited.
Time ticked away, and before they knew it, it was already 6 pm.
The surgery had been going on for a full eight hours, and Osborn had still not been wheeled out.
Every time a nurse came out of the operating room, the Hansen family couldn’t help but approach to inquire about Osborn’s condition.
Although the nurses always reported that everything was going well, the fact that Osborn hadn’t been sent out made the Hansen family very uneasy.
“Why is the surgery taking so long? Could anything be wrong?”
Lydia was particularly worried.
She had pinned all her hopes of redistributing the Hansen Group’s assets on Osborn’s recovery.
If anything were to happen to Osborn, the Patton family would truly gain nothing.
“Mom, trust Cora. I believe she can do it,”
Eason tried to comfort Lydia.
But hearing Cora’s name didn’t bring much solace to her.
On the other hand, Byron didn’t express any concerns. From the moment the surgery started, he had been staring at the door of the operating room, staring at the illuminated sign displaying
“In Surgery.”
This situation continued until 9 pm when the surgery had been ongoing for a full eleven hours. Finally, the lights in the operating room were switched off.
As the doors swung open, all the members of the Hansen family rushed forward.
“Dr. Lane, how is my father?”
“Cora, how is Grandfather?”
Many of them asked at the same time. Cora, exhausted, looked towards Byron and smiled.
“The surgery was very successful. He has been transferred to the intensive care unit for observation, but once he wakes up, he’ll be able to return to a regular ward.”
Upon hearing this, Byron also smiled.
“Thank you,”
he said.
“It’s the duty of a doctor.”
Amidst the seemingly private conversation between the two, there were expressions of gratitude from others as well.
“Thank you, Dr. Lane, for bringing my father back from the brink of death.”
“Thanks to the heavens. Please continue to bless my elderly father with a long and healthy life. I am willing to spend the rest of my life in devotion…”
However, Cora couldn’t be bothered to listen to the noisy voices. She turned around, intending to leave the office.
However, Byron grabbed her wrist.
“Are you alright?”
He asked.
Cora looked visibly exhausted. The eleven-hour surgery had taken a toll on her, leaving her fatigued.
She seemed quite pale, and her legs were rather limp.
But she still smiled at Byron and said,
“I’m fine. I just need to rest for a bit. You should go to check on your father.”
Just then, Osborn was being wheeled out of the operating room.
“I’ll come for you later,”
Byron said before hastily walking toward Osborn.
After returning to her office, Cora felt both tired and hungry.
However, she didn’t have the energy to search for food. Instead, she opened a can of glucose water and drank it before collapsing onto her desk, falling asleep.
After Byron sent Osborn to the intensive care unit and returned to find Cora, he saw that she had already fallen asleep.
She held an empty glucose drip bottle in her hand, frowning in her sleep.
Byron felt both heartbroken and helpless. He took the empty bottle from her hand and gently stroked her forehead. Finally, he placed his jacket over her shoulders.
In a daze, Cora could sense everything that Byron did. She faintly heard his familiar voice sighing softly by her ear,
“Once everything is over, I’ll cherish you till the end of time…”
She desperately wanted to confirm if those words were his solemn promise, but she was too exhausted to open her eyes.
Before Osborn woke up, Cora didn’t dare to let her guard down.
She only slept for a couple of hours before going to the intensive care unit to check on Osborn’s condition, making it difficult for Jane to find an opportunity to frame her.
Luckily, Osborn woke up the next morning and was transferred back to a regular ward.
With that, Cora finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went home to get some rest.
However, Osborn kept asking about her.
“Byron, where is Dr. Lane?”
He inquired.
“She went home to sleep. She operated on you for eleven hours yesterday, and you were still unconscious while she tirelessly watched over you in the intensive care unit. Even someone as strong as her couldn’t bear it,”
Byron explained.
At the mention of Cora, Byron seemed much gentler, though he tried not to show it too much.
Osborn noticed this, but he remained composed.
“When Dr. Lane comes to work, bring her something nice and let her take good care of herself.”
Byron agreed, and that same evening, he brought a large pile of supplements to Cora’s apartment.
Just as Cora stepped out of the shower, she saw him carrying bags of supplements into the room.
“What’s all this?”
She asked.
“Supplements,”
Byron replied, glancing at Cora in her silk nightgown and noticing the water droplets on her collarbone, which made him feel slightly turned on.
“My dad wanted me to bring them to you.”
“I’m not that fragile. You can take them back.”
She didn’t operate on Osborn in hopes of receiving material rewards from the Hansen family.
Cora was too busy refusing Byron’s offers to notice the desirous look in his eyes, as if he had locked onto his prey. And so, without warning, Byron suddenly lifted her off the ground.
“What are you doing?”
Her legs were suddenly dangling in the air, and she instinctively held onto
Byron’s neck, feeling uneasy.
But Byron thought she had agreed what he was going to do, so he directly carried her toward the bedroom upstairs.
“Let me check on you.”
“Check on what?”
Cora was a little confused.
“I want to know if you’re really not fragile!”
Cora realized what he meant and blushed.
“Be gentle, Mr. Hansen.”
“I try to…”
However, since they hadn’t slept together since they separated, this night was meant to be extremely passionate.
In the following month, Osborn made good progress in his recovery. He seemed much healthier, and his medical test results were almost identical to those of a healthy person.
Lydia, wanting to play the role of a filial daughter, had been taking care of Osborn at the hospital.
