Luna and Joshua waited outside the operation room for 10 hours.
During this time, Jim arrived and, after asking about Riley's condition, sat with Luna for a while to keep her company.
However, he did not stay too long, seeing that Bonnie only had limited time left in this world, and he had to cherish every last second he had with her.
After 10 hours, the doctors emerged from the operation room, their faces etched with joy.
The chief surgeon clasped Joshua's hands in excitement and declared,"
Congratulations, Mr. Lynch! The surgery was a success! Riley is a lucky, lucky child, and her condition has been stabilized!
"With great care, she'll be able to recover well and will grow up a happy, healthy child!"
Luna, who was about to doze off from exhaustion, immediately leaped upon hearing this good news.
She sprinted forward and grabbed hold of the doctor's arms. "Can you tell me how we're supposed to care for her? I'm willing to do anything! I have experience caring for three children, so I'm sure I can handle it!"
The doctor smiled when he saw Luna's delight. "Come into my office later, and I'll explain everything."
Then, he turned to glance at the operation room, where Riley was being wheeled out, an oxygen mask attached to her little face.
Because she had just come out of surgery, Luna did not dare to go near her at all and instead could only watch from a distance.
As Riley was being wheeled into the ICU, Luna could see her glancing in her direction with wide, doe-like eyes as though she was thanking her.
