Pierre flashed a smile at Selena. “No news is the best news. If I were hurt or killed, the organization would inform you immediately. Therefore, when there’s no news about me, you can set your mind at ease.” Feeling sorry for her, he stroked her head.
Selena nodded.
“How long have they gone in?”
“Not long ago.”
“They will be fine.”
As they waited for the operation to be over, they snuggled up to each other and fell silent. They were extremely worried about their kids, so there was nothing else they could say.
Hours had passed, but they remained on the spot like two statues. The operation took so long that they had lost track of time. Six hours after the kids entered the operating room, the light above the door was turned off.
The doctor, who was drenched in sweat, stepped out of the room and took off his mask with a joyful expression. “Don’t worry. The operation was successful.”
Selena wanted to speak, but her vision blackened all of a sudden. She had been exhausted and pressured from all the worries for days, so her body couldn’t take it anymore. After that, she had a dream, in which she went to Emerald Island again with all of her kids and her husband. Sitting on the beach, she watched as Pierre taught the kids how to swim. The sunlight cast its glow on their bodies as she looked fixedly at them. Perhaps this was what happiness looked like.
When she opened her eyes again, the first person who came into her sight was Pierre. However, when she tried to sit up, Pierre immediately pinned her down. “Don’t move!”
“Where are Juniper and Jojo?”
“Don’t worry. They’re fine. They’ve recovered much faster than you have.” Pierre pinched her face.
