“Yes, Doctor. I've applied it." Sunny treated the orthopedics doctor with respect.
She did not behave arrogantly just because she was a relative of the director. Contrarily,
she was quite approachable when working at the hospital.
"You have to avoid him when he goes crazy. It's not that bad this time, but if he throws
something sharp next time, it'll ruin your face," warned the orthopedics doctor.
If Pierre was already acting like this right after the surgery, he could not imagine what he
would be like once the effects of the tranquilizer wore off.
Would he continue acting insane or would he calm down?
The orthopedics doctor reckoned that Pierre would not be able to calm down.
"Alright. Doctor, when will he be discharged?" Sunny sighed.
The day Pierre was discharged from the hospital would be the end of their misery.
"That depends on when the Mallory family will take him back. The earliest he can be
discharged is when he gets a cast after the stitches are removed, and that would take
about seven to eight days. If he really wants to focus on recovery, he'll be here for three
months. It's up to his family, whether it be seven days or three months."
Sunny felt even more hopeless hearing that.
If it were three months, she would have to work the night shift for three months. Not to
mention, she would also suffer from Pierre's temperament. She dared not imagine what it
would be like.
Rich people like them would usually stay in the hospital until they were completely cured
just to be safe.
They could afford to pay for the ward anyway.
"Doctor, that didn't sound like good news." Sunny pouted.
"Based on today's condition, he might not have to stay for three whole months. Maybe his
family will have him discharged from the hospital once the cast is fixed and his stitches
are removed," the orthopedic doctor reckoned.
The Mallory family was being extremely cautious, so if Pierre were to stay in the hospital
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor three months, the risk of exposure would be much greater.
There were many people coming and going at the hospital.
The Mallory family may be rich, but they could not occupy too many resources by clearing
out the entire floor of VIP wards.
Plus, Pierre's fracture did not restrict his movements much. Once his wound stopped
hurting, he could get out of bed and sit in a wheelchair.
Could Pierre stand being trapped for three months?
If he could get out of bed, he would move around instead of staying in the ward all the
time. If someone saw him, he would be in trouble.
When Sunny heard that, her eyes lit up. “Doctor, now that's what I want to hear. It's only a
week. I'll get through it."
After that, she walked out with a smile.
The orthopedic doctor threw the syringe into the trash can and thought to himself that it
had better be just a week.
Otherwise, none of them could take it.
The orthopedic doctor thought that the next time he saw the Mallory family, he would
mention that Pierre could be exposed any time, so it was best for him to leave in a week
after his stitches were removed.
The next day, Luca and Luke both woke up early.
It was the day of Wanda's operation, and they took it very seriously as they knew that the
risks of surgery were unpredictable.
Moreover, Luke had not had time to sign Wanda's surgery consent form.
Wanda had to enter the operating room at 8:30 am, so they had to arrive at 7:30 am to
meet the surgeon and sign various documents.
Luke was Wanda's family, so he had to sign many documents.
At the same time, the doctor had to tell Luke the risks of the operation once again.
Luca prepared pie for breakfast the next morning after returning from the hospital
yesterday.
When Aunt Neile came to work, she saw the note Luca left and just heated up the pie.
When Luca and Luke came downstairs, the pie was just ready.
Then, Aunt Neile served it up.
Although Luca made the pie herself, she lost her appetite looking at it.
However, she knew that it was Wanda's big day, so it would definitely be a long day.
She might not have much of an appetite at home, but she would have less of an appetite
at the hospital, so she had to eat more to have the energy to wait for Wanda's good news
outside the operating room.
Luke cut out a piece of pie for her.
"Thank you." She picked up the fork.
"You should eat more even if you don't have an appetite because you need the energy
when you're at the hospital later," said Luke. Wanda would not want to see their haggard
looks.
When he came back from drinking yesterday, it was already dawn.
However, Luca was not asleep yet. Instead, she was lying on the bed in deep thought with
her eyes open.
Luke asked her what she was thinking about.
She denied it and said that she could not sleep because she had too much coffee during
the day.
Luke knew that she was worried about Wanda's surgery tomorrow, so he hugged her and
told her to go to sleep.
Luca fell asleep afterward, but not for long. She even woke up with dark circles under her
eyes.
When Luca noticed it, she put on some foundation and a touch of lip gloss to improve her
complexion.
"Okay." Luca ate her pie.
After eating the pie, they departed for the hospital and arrived at 7:30 am.
When Luke saw Johann, he told Luke that the chief surgeon in charge of Wanda's
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmoperation, Dr. Willa, was waiting for him in her office.
Dr. Willa was a famous mastopathy specialist from abroad, and she was an expert at
Wanda's illness.
Luke stepped forward to shake her hand and greet her.
Dr. Willa knew who Luke was, so she was specially nice to him. Then, she looked toward
Luca and asked, "Is this your wife?"
Dr. Willa spoke English as everyone present could speak it.
Johann did not say a word as he wanted to see what Luke would say.
"Yes, Dr. Willa. I'm sorry I couldn't come sign the documents yesterday," said Luke. Johann
contacted him yesterday to ask him to come over and sign the documents on behalf of
Wanda's family.
However, he said that he would only be free today.
Fortunately, Dr. Willa had a last-minute meeting too, so she agreed to have the papers
signed tomorrow morning.
"It's okay, Mr. Crawford. I understand that you're a busy person. Besides, I was busy
yesterday too. Let me tell you about the possible risks the patient may face during
surgery. Have a seat," said Dr. Willa before having Luke take a seat.
Luke then sat down.
Dr. Willa explained the various risks she might face during the surgery with a document
that had already been translated.
Luke listened carefully, and so did Luca, who was standing beside him.
These were all potential risks that a patient may face, no matter what surgery it may be.
An experienced doctor's professional knowledge and experience would reduce the
probability of those risks greatly.
Therefore, Luca was not that worried because she trusted Johann.
If he recommended Dr. Willa, she must be good at what she did.
That was why Johann recommended her.
After explaining the risk report, Luke signed his name in the family member column of the
original document, while Dr. Willa signed her name in the chief surgeon column.
