Bernard knitted his brows together unhappily.
Meanwhile, Connor dared not to say a word, fearing that he might upset Bernard and cause him to call for a stop to the operation. Thus, Connor backed away to the side quietly.
"Sorry to interrupt. Is this the place where Hera is performing the operation?" Thiago asked while carrying a large bouquet of white roses and pulling his black suitcase. He had well-defined features, but his permed hair made him look somewhat feminine.
Bernard turned to scrutinize Thiago. The sight of the white roses in Thiago's arms made Bernard frown even more. When did Hera attract such a lousy man?
Nicholas immediately felt wary upon realizing that Thiago's large bouquet of white roses was just as impressive as his. Where did this guy come from?
Nicholas was about to ask who Thiago was when he heard Bernard coldly reply, "No."
Thiago looked at his phone in confusion before looking around. He said to himself, "That's strange. Shouldn't she be here? Didn't the nurse say she'd be here?"
Seeing how no one responded to him, Thiago turned and walked away, tugging his suitcase behind him.
Nicholas just stared at him, mortified that Thiago believed Bernard so easily.
Tyler scoffed. If only Hera were here to see Bernard's true colors as a liar.
"Is the operating room really not here? But I watched the news, and even the nurses said she'll be here!" Thiago, who had not even taken two steps, turned back to ask tentatively.
Tyler replied, "She's really not here."
Since Bernard did not say a word, Thiago finally walked away angrily.
The moment he left, the light above the operating room door turned off. The operating room door opened.
