Chapter 365 – The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Nora entered the operating room right away.

It was only after she went in that Quentin asked, “What happened?”

Joel replied, “Uncle Ian’s heart suddenly stopped beating. They are trying to save him now.”

Quentin was stunned. His heart sank.

In all honesty, he had never taken Ian’s illness seriously because Ian had always been ill for as long as he could remember.

Therefore, he hadn’t panicked even when Nora operated on Ian previously.

But when he heard that Ian had a cardiac arrest, he couldn’t help but blank out. He immediately said, “That’s impossible! It’s impossible that anything would go wrong when B… Nora’s the one operating on him!”

Had Nora just been Anti, Quentin might still have had doubts.

But she was Big Sister.

She was the famous Big Sister in the martial arts circle. There was no way she would do anything she wasn’t confident about!

Joel glanced at him when he heard him.

Based on his understanding of Quentin, Quentin should have already formed doubts about Nora a long time ago. Yet he was so sure about it at the moment…

It wasn’t the time for him to be thinking about that, though. He said, “It’s Uncle Ian himself who… suddenly pulled out the IV needle when he woke up.”

Quentin: “…”

Joel sighed. “Uncle Ian still doesn’t have any will to live. He doesn’t want to live anymore.”

Quentin was in such a panic that he was going around in circles. “What should we do? Didn’t you tell Uncle Ian that Nora is his daughter?”

Joel said, “That’s exactly why I asked you guys to come. I’m hoping that Nora can find a way to keep him alive.”

Quentin nodded.

It was unknown just how much time went by before the operating room’s lights finally went out.

The attending doctor then came out and looked at the two of them.

Both Joel and Quentin looked at him hopefully but instead saw the doctor shake his head instead.

Joel and Quentin were dumbfounded.

The doctor said, “Anti lives up to her name as a master surgeon. She once again pulled the old gentleman back from the brink of death. He’s awake now, but…”

The doctor sighed. “He still does not have the will to live.”

No will to live… even though he was awake…

Joel panicked. “Didn’t Nora tell him that she is his daughter?”

“She did, but it wasn’t of any use.”

The attending doctor then stepped aside. “You… Why don’t you go in and see him for the last time?”

Joel and Ian put on sterile gowns and entered the operating room.

Ian lay on the bed. The thin man looked just like a sheet of paper, which easily showed that he hadn’t been eating well. He was ridiculously thin.

Nora was standing next to him blankly. Her eyes were full of perplexity and doubts as if she couldn’t understand anything. She asked, “Why don’t you want to live? Even if it’s for my sake?”

Ian’s voice was very thin. He said weakly, “I’m sorry.”

He coughed and slowly said, “I’m very happy that Yvette didn’t betray me… but when I think of how she has been all by herself in that lonely world for so long, I feel so awful. I should have figured it out earlier. I should have gone to keep her company earlier. Nora…”

He reached out a trembling hand to Nora.

Nora pursed her lips and held his hand. He said, “Please forgive Dad for being so selfish. I was waiting all this time for the truth to surface, waiting to find out why she had left me back then. But now that I finally know it, I suddenly feel guilty and blame myself for it. It’s no longer important why she had done what she did. Back then, no matter what the reason for her departure was, I shouldn’t have doubted her. She must have had reasons that she couldn’t tell me. All I could do for her back then was to let go of her, and now, the only thing I can do for her is to go and keep her company…”

He looked at Joel and Quentin who had entered.

Joel and Quentin’s eyes were all red. They took a step forward. Ian said to the two of them, “Joel, Quentin, Nora is my daughter. I put her in your care now.”

Joel choked up and shouted, “Uncle Ian, you should take care of your daughter yourself!

Ian smiled wryly and said, “I’m tired. I really am. I’ve spent all these years like a walking dead. Leaving is the greatest relief I can ever have.”

All three youngsters looked at him blankly.

All of them were dumbfounded.

No one, no matter who, had ever imagined that letting Ian know that Nora was his daughter would be the last straw to break the camel’s back and send him to his death.

Nora clenched her fists.

Were they going to be separated by death when they had only just reunited as father and daughter?

No!

Nora would never allow such a thing to happen!

Quentin’s eyes were red and swollen as he shouted, “Uncle Ian, take care of your daughter yourself! Live and get up. Otherwise, I’ll beat her up every day…”

Joel, who had always been a steady person, could not help but say, “Uncle Ian, aren’t you afraid that I will be selfish in the future and take over the Smiths without giving Nora anything? Also, Nora is going to marry Justin. Aren’t you afraid that she will be bullied if she marries over? She’s without her father and even comes from the countryside. Now, the Hunts look down on her! She needs your support!”

Ian muttered in a weak voice with his eyes closed, “Joel, Quentin, you won’t…”

“I will! I really will! Uncle Ian, wake up. You can’t die!”

“Uncle Ian! Get up…”

Joel and Quentin shouted as their tears fell like rain.

The person lying on the bed had been exceptionally powerful since they were young. But now, he was weak and had been sick most of the year, he was very dispirited and would not wake up. It was as if nothing gave him hope for life.

However, the two of them would never forget that when their parents had abandoned them, it was Uncle Ian who came forward to raise them, calling them good children!

Especially Joel…

If not for Uncle Ian, he would have been chased out of the Smiths when he was three years old. He would have become like a stray dog and starved to death on the streets!

It was Uncle Ian… Not only had he given him the honor of being a man of the Smiths, but he had also let him take over the Smiths.

Everything Joel had now was given to him by Uncle Ian.

Joel held Uncle Ian’s hand tightly. “Uncle Ian…”

Just as the two of them were thinking of ways to make him stay, a cold voice suddenly sounded. “Can I speak to him alone?”

Joel and Quentin looked at the person in a daze. It was Nora.

She stood at the side. Perhaps it was because they had not known each other since they were young, but her current expression was a little cold and distant.

The stunned expression in her eyes had disappeared as she stared at the man on the bed.

Even though her voice was emotionless and she appeared too calm, Joel and Quentin looked at each other. The two of them stood up and walked out together.

Before leaving, Joel took one last look inside.

He watched as the girl suddenly walked to the bed and said, “You’re very good to them.”

Ian smiled bitterly. “I didn’t do my part as a father.”

Nora suddenly said, “Now, you have a chance to fulfill your responsibilities.”

After saying this, she suddenly lowered her head and whispered into Ian’s ear. Ian’s eyes widened suddenly.

When Joel closed the door, he heard Ian’s last sentence. His voice trembled as he asked, “Are… are you serious?”

Two minutes later.

The door to the operating room was opened. Nora pushed Ian’s bed out of the operating room.

Ian was lying there with his eyes closed.

Joel’s heart sank. He exchanged glances with Quentin and the two of them looked at Nora. Quentin even swallowed his saliva and asked, “Uncle Ian, he…”

“He’s not dead.”

Nora’s words sounded very calm, making Joel and Quentin heave a sigh of relief.

Quentin asked tentatively, “Then he’s…”

“I gave him two injections and he fell asleep. He needs to rest. In the next few days, don’t disturb him in any case. No matter how powerful this lion is, his body has been hollowed out. His body needs to be raised from the roots.”

With that, she looked at Joel. “I have a few medicinal recipes here. I’ll write them down for you later.”

Joel hurriedly nodded. “I’ll arrange for someone to cook for Uncle Ian every day.”

The three of them walked into the VIP ward together.

After entering the ward, Nora checked Ian’s vital signs. After everything was normal, she said, “He won’t die for the time being.”

Joel probed, “Then… after the time being…”

Nora: “If you follow the schedule I’m giving you and are obedient, he can live out his natural life.”

Joel heaved a sigh of relief.

Nora took out her phone and opened the memo. Her slender fingers quickly typed something on it for a while. She sent Joel the things to take note of and future treatment plans.

Joel took a look and realized that it was all basic care. The staff in the hospital could do it.

Quentin asked curiously, “Aren’t you going to take care of Uncle Ian personally in the future?”
