It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 417 The Surgery Is A Success (Part One)

"Blood-tonifying? What do you mean? Uncle is also injured?" Rain had assumed that Edward's parents hadn't arrived yet. But judging from Daisy's words, Rain figured that they had come to the hospital much earlier. After all, they lived very near to the hospital. But why did Edward's father need to blood- tonify? He couldn't figure it out.

"Uncle Rain, that's because grandpa donated a lot of blood for dad." Justin said while sitting on Rain's lap and swinging his legs leisurely.

Justin's words turned all eyes on Edward's father, Jonathan. They knew him quite well and had always known that he didn't like Edward. So how come he gave his blood to his much-disliked son? Maybe it was solely because of the biological father-son bond?

"Why are you all looking at me? I'm not a freak." Jonathan frowned and looked back at them coldly. Though his face looked pale because of the blood drawing, his majestic aura still captured them.

"Grandpa, come and sit here." Justin slid down Rain's lap and pulled Jonathan to the seat near him. As he focused on his grandpa, he forgot about urging Daisy to shower.

"Sis Daisy, let's go. There are so many people here waiting to take care of Edward. You don't have to worry." Leena advised Daisy to get freshened up; she had already arranged her clothes. She brought the clothes not because she had expected Daisy would need a shower; she did it because Kevin had reminded her. That's why she brought one of her latest collection which she was going to gift Daisy anyway. She just gave it to her ahead of time.

"But.." Daisy looked at her messy clothes, then the operation room. She still didn't want to take a shower. She didn't want to be too far away from Edward.

"Aunt Cynthia, what do you say? Daisy needs to go freshening up, right? And the cuts on her face should be treated. Or they might get infected and ruin her face." Seeing Daisy's hesitation, Leena

asked for Cynthia's help.

"Leena's right. Daisy, you should take a shower first. You will have to take care of Edward later. It'll be fairly tiring. Leena is being quite considerate."

Cynthia patted Daisy's shoulder to reassure her. Her pretty face showed her concern. Although Daisy was tough, she became vulnerable when it came to love.

Finally, Daisy yielded to their persuasion and took a shower. But she bathed so quick that it took less than ten minutes. It was obvious that she worried a great deal about Edward.

The clothes Leena brought also helped. The size was a perfect fit for Daisy; only the style was not what Daisy used to carry. She looked hot and sexy in the clothes. If Edward were unharmed, he would undoubtedly flirt with her.

The night was quiet. It was even quieter and isolated in the hospital. All eyes were fixed on the closed door of the operation room as if the door had glued their eyes on to it. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Tick, tock.. When the operation was done, it was already five o'clock in the morning. Justin was asleep in Rain's arms. After all, however mature he might act, he was still a little kid----his body was not ready to stay up for so long. Besides, even a grown-up like Leena had dozed off in Kevin's arms.

"How are things going, Tom? Is Edward okay?" Seeing the door open, Daisy instantly moved forward, But she only saw Tom, no Edward. That gave her a bad feeling.

"Daisy, don't worry. The surgery is a success. But Edward has to stay in the ICU. If he remains stable for the next 12 hours, he'll be transferred to ward."

The long time taken to perform the surgery made Tom look exhausted. But he was also relieved to have saved Edward's life. There were some complications, but nothing he couldn't handle. When

Edward was brought here, he was in a critical situation. Tom wasn't quite sure if he would be able to save Edward, but he didn't reveal his concern in front of Daisy. Thankfully, Edward's condition was much better now.

"Can we go inside and see him now?" They surrounded Tom and asked. Their eyes were filled with expectation.

"Well, you can only see him through the window. We need to keep him in a sterile environment, and visitors might bring germs which can lead to infections." Tom knew how much they worried about Edward. But he couldn't allow them to visit at the risk of Edward's life. He had to follow the course of action that was in Edward's best interest.

"Okay, we will stay outside. Thank you, Tom" Daisy said earnestly. She knew that if it hadn't been for Tom, Edward might have suffered greater risk in surgery. The bullet was in a crucial part of his body. He might have got killed, had there been any oversight in the surgery. Only Tom's superb medical skills could be trusted.

"Daisy, no need to be so courteous to him. It will make him arrogant." Rain quipped, with Justin in his arms. They were all relieved to know the operation was a success.

"Tom, thank you." Cynthia held Tom's hands, and her eyes turned red. That made Jonathan frown a bit, but he didn't obsess over it as Tom had saved his son. The past few hours had felt like a dozen years to him. During that time, he had straightened out a few things in his mind, things that he had been struggling with for many years.
