Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1730

It was a short distance from the preparatory room to the operating room. Maverly said a lot of things before heading straight into the operating room.

She was the first non-healthcare provider to enter the operating room.

Xanthos paused and stared at her. At this time, he had already put on his mask. "You may leave now."

After that, he entered the operating room. Maverly looked at him from behind, then ran over to him. She stopped him and said, "Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner after the operation."

Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked into Xanthos's eyes. Xanthos glanced at her and turned toward the operating room.

The operation was finally over after four hours. Maverly had begun to grow anxious as she paced back and forth outside for a long time, waiting for Xanthos to come out.

She was worried that the operation would fail.

When Xanthos came out of the operating room, she immediately ran over and asked him, "Well, how is it?"

Xanthus glanced at her anxious face and replied, "The surgery is a success."

After that, he turned around to change his clothes. Meanwhile, the other doctors pushed the boy out of the operating room. Maverly breathed a sigh of relief and followed Xanthus to the ward.

Maverly waited for Xanthus at the door when he got off work in the evening. "Dr. Osteen, I'd like to invite you to dinner."

Xanthus glanced at her and looked at her car. "Are you driving?"

"Uh... Sure."

She was only twenty years old and her thoughts were innocent. She invited him to dinner because he helped her.

Xanthus was exhausted and he fell asleep in the passenger seat as soon as he got in the car.

Maverly drove them to a gourmet restaurant and parked her car in front of the entrance.

Xanthus woke up in a daze, then got out of the car after a while. He took a look at the restaurant and followed Maverly into the restaurant.

Maverly was in charge of ordering the food because Xanthus had been tired after the operation. He also had an emergency operation in the afternoon and it was a difficult case. The other doctors didn't dare to accept the case, so he couldn't leave the patient to die.

Xanthus ran the hospital together with Jeremy, Maverly's father, and he considered Jeremy as his college senior even though there was a huge age gap between the two of them.

They met on a panel discussion and became friends instantly. Just like that, they set up a hospital together.

Maverly grew up with her mother because her parents divorced when she was still a child. However, Jeremy was a loyal man. He never remarried and Maverly was his only child. Naturally, all the businesses Jeremy owned would eventually belong to Maverly.

Although Jeremy was not the wealthiest man in town, he still owned a huge amount of fortune. So, Maverly was considered well-off.

However, she did not boast about her wealth at all.

Her parents fell in love with each other at a young age and they had her when they were about nineteen years old. She did not know how they managed to pull it through for all those years. But eventually, their relationship became more and more awkward, then finally, they separated.

Her parents didn't remarry after their divorce. They claimed that it was for her sake. Sometimes, they would still have meals together with her, talking about her and sharing their experiences.

She was unclear whether they truly did that because of her or not.

In the beginning, she called Xanthus her 'Uncle'. Later, when she came to work in the hospital, she began addressing him as Dr. Osteen.

"Thank you for today." Maverly poured Xanthus a glass of red wine, then downed a glass herself.

Xanthus did not stop her. He already knew that she had been drinking, as he saw her drinking at a banquet before. Jeremy also mentioned that she enjoyed drinking and had a good alcohol tolerance, so she seldom got drunk.

He believed Jeremy because Jeremy had a good alcohol tolerance too. It was just that he rarely drank after he became a doctor, just like Xanthus. However, they would still drink a few glasses of alcohol occasionally.

"Cheers."

Maverly handed the glass to Xanthus and he clinked glasses with her.
