Chapter 183: Just Agreed Like That
The door of the villa slowly closed, and Sophia’s figure disappeared from Olivia’s sight.
Olivia took a deep breath, suppressing her sudden tears, her heart filled with reluctance to part with Sophia.
During this period, it was evident that Sophia had grown fond of them, and since staying with them, Sophia’s condition had indeed improved rapidly.
If possible, Olivia also wanted to take care of Sophia until she fully recovered and hear her say a complete sentence.
But there was no such opportunity…
Sebastian and Ethan followed behind them down the stairs. They noticed that Mommy wanted to send Sophia away. Although they were reluctant, they didn’t say anything.
Seeing Mommy so sad now, the little ones warmly snuggled into her arms, hugging her from both sides, “Mommy, don’t be sad. We will always be with you!”
Feeling the softness in her arms, Olivia’s heart slowly warmed up.
…
Despite being reluctant to part with Sophia, Olivia’s high-intensity work soon left her no time to deal with these personal matters. Every day, she was fully immersed in her research.
That day, as usual, Olivia left the lab just in time to pick up the kids from kindergarten.
On her way to the kindergarten, Harold’s call came through.
Olivia answered, “Senior, what’s up?”
Harold’s voice sounded somewhat heavy on the other end, “Do you have time? I need your help with something.”
Olivia sensed something was off and agreed without hesitation, “What is it?”
Harold said, “We might need to discuss it in person. I’ll send you the location.”
Olivia agreed. After hanging up the phone, she sped up to pick up the kids from kindergarten, dropped them off at home with her best friend for care, and then headed to the restaurant Harold had mentioned.
When she arrived, Harold was already there, looking somewhat serious.
“Sorry for the sudden invitation,” Harold apologized as she sat down.
Olivia smiled indifferently, “It’s fine. I didn’t have any plans for tonight anyway. What do you need help with?”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
As they talked, the waiter brought their dishes. They chatted while eating.
“I originally didn’t plan to stay long this time, but yesterday an elder in my family suddenly had a brain condition. Since I’m the only one in the family with medical expertise, I stayed,” Harold explained. “I reviewed his diagnosis report. The treatment requires a craniotomy, but my elder is quite old, so the surgery is very risky with an estimated success rate of only twenty percent.”
Being in the same medical field, Harold summarized the patient’s condition succinctly.
Olivia roughly understood what kind of help he needed from her.
“We’ve collaborated many times abroad. Among the doctors I know, no one surpasses you in this field. So, I want to ask you…” Harold hesitated.
After all, craniotomy is inherently risky, and the operating doctor bears immense pressure.
Olivia had no obligation to take such a risk.
Knowing he was worried about her fearing the risk, Olivia interrupted him before he could continue, “Where is the patient now? I think if there’s a chance, I should personally check his condition. As you said, I’m more skilled in this area; perhaps I can come up with an alternative plan.”
Harold was still contemplating how to phrase his next words when he heard this and was momentarily stunned.
She just agreed like that?
