Three days had elapsed in the blink of an eye.
It was finally the day of the operation.
Since getting up in the morning, Eudora did not dare to talk about the operation. After she had her breakfast, she followed Amos's request and went to work.
However, how could she possibly focus on work?
The day before, Clint had already freed her day from her work. She was to spend all of her energy today accompanying Amos.
After walking around the company, she looked at the time and figured that Amos should currently be in the operating theatre. She quickly rushed to the hospital.
As soon as she entered, she saw Helen waiting outside.
Beside Helen was a refined-looking man with gold-rimmed glasses. He was holding Helen's hand with his large ones, thus he was most likely Helen's husband.
Helen greeted Eudora.
"Dad has gone in too. He's an expert. Amos has gotten injured before this and since his organs might be affected by that time, it's safer for Dad to be in there."
There was a slight pause.
Then, she added, "I'm only here to see Dad! That's why I've been waiting here for a while..."
Eudora couldn't help but laugh, "I understand!"
They were a sweet and affectionate couple, so how would she think otherwise?
Despite that, Helen only lingered for a little longer before standing up and saying, "We still have other things to do, so we'll leave first."
"Aren't you going to wait for Doctor Leon?" Eudora asked.
"It's okay. Dad will call me when he comes out!"
Although she felt uneasy, Eudora couldn't possibly have them stay. To show that she wasn't upset, Eudora sent the two of them away before returning to the spot she had been.
Just as she was about to re-enter the room, she saw a familiar figure standing at the door and smiling at Eudora. Eudora opened her mouth, but Elaine had already taken the lead to speak.
She asked, "Aren't you going to invite me in?" Eudora stretched her hand out and gestured, "This is a hospital. You don't need an invitation."
"That's different. Doesn't this hospital only serve you now? I heard that Sawyer, no, President Granger is having an operation today, so I came by to see him. You don't mind, do you?"
Eudora shook her head, "There's no way I would mind! Why would I?"
Elaine breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry, in the past, I...In short, I had some foolish thoughts towards him. Fortunately, I found out the truth in time. Why wasn't I more doubtful upon suddenly meeting such an excellent man? Sure enough, he was already taken!"
She had said so in a playful tone, which piqued Eudora's interest.
"Miss Malone, you deserve better!" replied Eudora.
After that, the two of them stopped talking.
The red light outside the operating room had been on the whole time. The two of them gradually grew more and more anxious.
Harley and the others also came. However, when they saw how nervous Eudora was, they did not want to disturb her and chose to wait outside the corridor.
The air suddenly fell into silence.
The door of the operating room was suddenly opened from inside and a nurse came out.
She called out, "Where is Miss George? Where's the patient's family?"
Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She stood up immediately, "I'm here."
The nurse immediately pulled her inside and said, "Get changed! Get in!"
"What's the matter? Did something happen to Amos?" It was terrifying to encounter something like this in the operating room. Upon thinking of the possibilities, her legs went limp.
Was it possible that something had happened to Amos? Was she going to see him one last time?
