The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 693

Any prejudice the room held against Claire's young age vanished entirely after witnessing the surgery.

When it was finally over, Claire still looked full of energy as Dr. Duncan helped an exhausted Mary out of the operating room.

Latham and Octavia, who had been blind to what was happening inside, rushed forward the second the doors opened.

"Was the surgery a success?"

It was the only question burning in the couple's minds.

Claire glanced at Dr. Duncan, allowing him to deliver the news. "The surgery was a complete success."

Latham and Octavia breathed a massive sigh of relief.

Neither of them paid any attention to Mary, who was barely standing. Their eyes were glued to the doors, waiting for Lance.

Moments later, the medical staff wheeled Lance out.

The couple immediately followed him toward the recovery ward.

Meanwhile, Claire and Mary retreated to the lounge.

The panel of experts was dying to pick their brains about the procedure, but seeing how exhausted they were, no one dared intrude.

They planned to catch Claire the next day, only to find out she had already gone home to sleep.

Mary, however, stayed behind. As the lead surgeon, she needed to be on-site to handle any potential complications.

More importantly, Lance was her grandson. She wanted to be there when he woke up.

A few doctors tried to strike up a conversation with her, but she politely sent them away.

Her energy was completely depleted; the marathon surgery had drained her to the bone.

Octavia stayed at the hospital all night, while Latham headed straight to the office just before dawn.

The news of his son's car crash had hit the press, sending the company into an even worse downward spiral.

The office needed its leader, so he had no choice but to go.

Octavia was surprisingly understanding, supporting his decision to stabilize the business and reminding him to get some sleep.

The moment Latham walked out of the hospital doors, he called to check on the investigation into Lance's crash.
