When the door of the operating room closed, Raeleigh shut her eyes.
Zorion could see Raeleigh from the television screen outside. However, he was still quite surprised to see Raeleigh closing her eyes after entering the room.
Deanna pulled Zorion and asked, "Zorion, what's wrong with Raeleigh?"
"She's probably tired. She didn't rest on the plane," Zorion pulled Deanna to the opposite side and sat down. As he was taking a break with her, Scarlette paced back and forth.
After walking for a while, Scarlette asked Deanna, "I'm going to the washroom. Deanna, do you want to tag along?" In reply, Deanna shook her head and replied, "Go ahead. I'll tag along later."
"All right," Scarlette sprinted to the bathroom and made a call to Stuart.
"Mr. Jepherson," Stuart, who was waiting for the call, said in greeting.
"It's time for her surgery. I'll send you a text message later," Scarlette hung up on the phone, washed her hands, and went outside.
Jepherson was sitting in a car outside the hospital, accompanied by Stuart. He was waiting for the results, his eyes narrowed.
"They've already started the operation," said Stuart as he put away the phone. Jepherson slowly opened his eyes. Not saying a word, he only sat in the car.
Stuart secretly sighed. Things were not going well for Jepherson. He was dying to rush in and see Raeleigh. However, since Zorion and Deanna were present, it was inappropriate for him to show up. He could only rely on someone else to send his regards and check on the situation.
After Raeleigh's operation, which lasted several hours, she nodded off in the surgery room. As she was pushed out, Deanna called out to her, but she was still asleep.
"She's asleep," the doctor answered, amusement apparent in his tone.
Zorion thanked him. As the nurse pushed her into the ward, Deanna went in and started taking care of Raeleigh. At the same time, Raeleigh also woke up.
The doctor asked Zorion about the payment. After asking them to wait, he picked up the phone and called Rayan.
Rayan, who was having a business negotiation abroad, was surprised to receive a call from Zorion as he seldom called on his own initiative.
"I'm sorry, guys. I have to answer this," Rayan informed his business partners politely and then turned around to go outside.
Their business negotiation was taking place on an island. Facing the sea, Rayan took the call from Zorion, greeting him, "Well, it's rare to receive a call from you. What's up?"
Rayan smiled calmly. Although he was not young anymore, there were very few traces of signs of aging on his face.
Zorion hesitated for a moment before replying to him, "I'm just letting you know that I'm going to use some money."
"When did you start informing me of your financial matters? Did you get into trouble?" Rayan held Zorion in high regard, giving him chances to make his own decisions since he was a child. As long as he was not committing any morally corrupt crimes, Rayan would let him do anything.
Due to that, Zorion had become independent since he was a child.
"A student in Elkton University had an accident, and her hand was scraped open. Her wound needs to be treated. I was only able to request for the surgery to take place now because
I used your name. Now that I'm using a great sum of money, I have to tell you."
"A great sum of money?" Rayan's smile deepened. It seemed that Zorion had grown up and he was finally interested in a woman. Nonetheless, he had no clue what kind of woman Zorion would fall in love with.
"No, not really. Nevertheless, I still have to notify you of such an incident."
"Just use the money in the account if it's enough. Otherwise, you can call the bank and request for more."
"There's no need for that. I only need a few million."
