“Tina,” Chandler directly gave the answer, “this amusement park was suggested by Tina to Harley.”
“…” Lornell blinked his eyes. So it was for Tina! “Is engagement fun?” he suddenly asked.
Chandler looked at Lornell, “What do you think engagement is?”
“It’s finding a girl who can have children with you in the future,” that’s his understanding.
In Lornell’s concept, his own parents were like that.
“Engagement is not just that,” Chandler said.
“What else is there?” Lornell asked curiously.
Chandler looked at the 7–year–old Lornell. Even if the other party was mature for his age, there were some things that were far beyond his age.
“You don’t need to know now. You’ll know when you grow up,”
Chandler said.
“What about the future?” Lornell sneered, “Are we just going to wait until we grow up?”
There are always adults who say things like “you’ll understand when you’re older,” but Chandler never expected to hear those words from him.
“Yep, you’ll have to wait until you grow up,” said Chandler.
Lornell may have agreed to an engagement with Harley due to their shared experience during the explosion, which created a bond between them, or perhaps out of sympathy as they were both children at the time.
But in the end… he and Harley don’t have much of a relationship, and no one knows how long this engagement can last.
Only after growing up can one know whether Lornell will develop feelings for Harley.
“You’re not much older than me!” said Lornell.
Chandler smiled rarely, “Maybe you’ll understand when you get to my age.”
Four hours later, when the surgery was over, Samir walked out of the operating room and Brian and Valda rushed up to him almost immediately.
“Doctor Quentin, how is Harley doing?” Valda asked with a trembling voice.
“There’s no problem. We’ve taken care of the head bruising. She should wake up within 24 hours,” Lornell said.
Brian and Valda both breathed a sigh of relief, but Valda seemed to lose all her strength. If Brian hadn’t been there to support her, she might have collapsed on the ground.
Brian looked at Samir and said, “Thank you. The Hart family will remember this favor from Doctor Quentin.”
“No need. I did it for the Quentin family. Your daughter will marry into the Quentin family in the future. The Quentin family will send the engagement letter to the Hart family in a few days,”
Samir said, then walked straight to Lornell. “I saved the person you wanted me to save, but the words you said cannot be taken lightly. No matter how old you are, if you want to engage with Harley, you can’t just back out.”
Lornell pursed his lips and stared at his father. “I won’t back out!”
“Okay, I’m going back now. You go back to the hospital and rest,”
Samir said.
“I’ll stay here for a while and then go back,” Lornell said.
Samir didn’t say anything and left with his team.
The communication between father and son was unsatisfactory.
Lornell watched as Harley was wheeled out of surgery, and then watched as the Hart family followed their daughter all the way back to the ICU ward. They anxiously peered through the glass wall at Harley lying inside. Suddenly, Lornell felt a strange emotion welling up in his chest.
A bit…envious!
I envy Harley for being loved by her parents in such a way.
No wonder when the two of them were trapped together in the rubble of the explosion, she firmly believed that her mom and dad would come to rescue her.
Because… it seems to be true!
And he, along with his parents, only cares about whether the Quentin family has an heir or not!
Lornell glanced at Harley in the ICU room again. Since her father said she would wake up within 24 hours, she must be able to wake up.
He and this little guy will probably meet frequently in the future.
I wonder what expression the little one will have when he finds out about his engagement with her?!
Wait a minute, little one, do you understand what a betrothal is? Lornell suddenly thought of this question and after a moment, he said to his subordinate next to him, “Let’s go back to the hospital, I want to sleep.”
“Yes, young master!” The subordinate responded and pushed the wheelchair towards the elevator.
The next day, when everyone came to the hospital to visit
Harley, they learned from Brian and Valda that the head of the
Quentin family, Samir, had come to perform surgery on Harley in the middle of the night. The faces of the people were filled with surprise.
“How did Samir come over here?” Jason asked. He had heard of
Samir before, but he wasn’t sure about his medical skills.
After all, sometimes people exaggerate, and in Samir’s case, he has never really made a name for himself in the medical field. Not many people know him, and his surgical videos have never been leaked.
Speaking of this, Brian’s expression seemed a bit helpless. “Harley and Lornell Quentin from the Quentin family are engaged, so
Samir is willing to take action.”
“Engagement?” Grace widened her eyes, while Kyla almost choked on her saliva. As for Martin, despite his usual seriousness and calm demeanor, he also showed clear surprise at the moment.
“Last night, Chandler brought Lornell to the hospital. While Lornell was calling the Quentin family to ask for their help in saving Harley, she mentioned that she was engaged to Harley in order to persuade them.” Brian briefly recounted what happened in the middle of the night.
Jason nodded in agreement upon hearing this. “That makes sense. If Harley is a member of the Quentin family, then the Quentin family will surely come to his rescue.”
“Is Harley okay now? Will he wake up?” Grace asked urgently.
“Samir said he will wake up within 24 hours after the surgery,” said
Brian.
“Great!” Kyla exclaimed with tears of joy. The families have always had a close relationship, and Harley is lively and adorable. Kyla almost sees Harley as another daughter.
After learning that Harley was unconscious and unresponsive, she has been extremely worried and scared these past few days.
She is afraid that something serious might happen to Harley.
And now, there is finally some good news!
The women present all had tears in their eyes.
On the Stephenson family’s side, they learned from Chandler that Samir performed a life–saving surgery on Harley. Lina was so happy that she exclaimed, “We, the Quentin family, are capable! Harley is saved now.”
Hadwin said, “It seems like the Quentin family that he mentioned has no relation to your Quentin family.”
“Anyway, we all have the surname Quentin! Chandler didn’t say that Lornell’s child is engaged to
Harley? So our relationship will be even closer in the future!” said Lina.
Hadwin thought that if Lornell and Harley ended up together in the future, it would bring their families closer, especially the relationship between Lornell’s family and the Quentin family.
“Did Harley and Lornell really get engaged?” asked 8–year–old
Tina to Chandler.
“Uh–huh,” Chandler responded.
“Are they just like us?” Tina blinked her eyes and asked.
Chandler lowered his eyelids slightly and after a moment said,
“Yes, just like us.”
Tina suddenly smiled brightly and said, “That’s great! In the future, if Harley doesn’t have anyone to play with, she can find
Lornell to play with. And she can ask Lornell to buy her food, help her with crafts, and tell her stories…”
Tina has started to count on her fingers, helping Harley calculate the benefits of having one more fiancé.
Chandler raised an eyebrow, Lornell is doing these?
It’s really hard to imagine him!
On this day, almost all the people who had a good relationship with Brian and Valda gathered in the
ICU ward, waiting for Harley to wake up.
Although Samir previously said that the child would wake up within 24 hours.
But after all, they haven’t really woken up yet. Only when they truly wake up can we feel at ease.
As time passed by second by second, finally, when Harley slowly opened her eyes in the ICU ward, the people waiting outside were overjoyed.
“She’s awake, she’s awake! That’s great, she finally woke up!”
someone exclaimed excitedly.
Valda couldn’t stop her tears from falling, her daughter had finally woken up! God knows how afraid she was that her daughter would never wake up again.
At this moment, even Brian’s eyes were filled with tears.
Although Harley had woken up, she had only just woken up and fell asleep again after a moment of awakening.
After the attending physician examined Harley, he finally announced that the little one was out of danger.
This finally lifted the heavy stone in everyone’s hearts.
The people then left one after another, agreeing to visit the little one again when her condition improved.
Outside the ICU ward, it also became quiet.
