Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 911

It was drizzling outside the window when Frank woke up from his slumber. His breathing was ragged and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

It took him a few seconds before he fully saw where he was. He wasn't inside an operating room anymore. Knowing that he was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief. To sober himself up, he rubbed his eyes.

The dream he just had still felt so vivid.

In his dream, the operation was declared to have failed and Frank was being chased and cursed by the parents of the patient outside the operating room. The child's mother slapped him across the face, wailing in indescribable grief. She kept telling him that he was the one who killed her child. After her meltdown, the mother got on her knees, begging Frank to give her back her child.

Memories flooded into his mind as he looked up, massaging his throbbing temples. Just as he was about to get up and grab a glass of water, the coat slipped from his back to the floor.

It was a lady's coat. He picked it up from the floor, placed it on the chair, and glanced at the woman resting her head on the table.

She was the only woman here, so the coat was probably hers.

After drinking a glass of water, Frank approached her and gave the table a few light taps to wake her up.

Not long after, Elizabeth woke up and looked up at Frank.

She was still feeling a little drowsy.

Frank sat back in his seat. He kept looking at the woman's face because he couldn't recognize her as the family of any of his patients.

If that were the case, then she was probably a patient herself.

Frank began to observe the woman.

Her face was pale and she looked weary. She was tall enough to be a runway model and she was quite thin to the point that she looked like she was a little malnourished.

Frank guessed that she might really be a model.

"Are you a patient here? Why are you in my office without permission?" After putting on his white lab coat, Frank looked more like a doctor. However, there were dark circles around his eyes that accentuated the weariness on his face.
