Marcos clenched his fists.
Luca stopped talking, knowing that he already knew what lay ahead.
Sarah had been leading a difficult life. Marcos believed this to be true.
"Let's go back," murmured Luke, who had remained silent all along. Gale was there to take
his place, but he could not return to the hotel in Marcos' place. Ethan would knock on his
door at any moment.
Marcos nodded. Sarah was still in the intensive care unit. There was nothing he could do
by staying at the hospital.
Moreover, Luke and Gale had helped him so much. It would not be right to stop them from
going home to get some rest...
Marcos took a deep breath. After he calmed himself down, he expressed his gratitude to
Luca, "Thank you, Ms. Craw."
Luca shook her head. She could not find the words to comfort him. Even though her past
living conditions had been poor, at least she had people who loved her.
It was the same for Luke. Even though Allison only saw him as a tool, the Crawford family
and Old Master Crawford treated him well.
Their pasts were much better than Marcos'. They had a childhood and were loved. After
they grew older, it could be counted as a semblance of happiness when they looked back.
Even in the face of strict discipline, it was a kind of tough love, driven by their best
interests.
After Marcos left the hospital, Luca heaved a sigh and said, "I didn't expect things to turn
out like this..."
She happened to meet Marcos' birth mother and gave her her contact information. The
nurse at the previous hospital also happened to notify her.
Otherwise, Marcos would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Luke thought to himself that if Luca had looked at the information earlier, Marcos' birth
mother might not have had to go through all of this.
Even though the cerebral aneurysm had been there for many years, if Luca had realized
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtback then that she was Marcos' birth mother, he would have rushed over immediately.
Sarah would have received better treatment.
Life had a way of playing tricks on people. Marcos acknowledged his birth mother only in
such a situation.
However, there was nothing Luke could do about it. Luca had no interest in the documents
on his desk.
He also knew that she had no choice but to steal the bidding document he had prepared.
Her heart still sided with him.
"Let's go home," said Luke. After he arrived at the hospital, he asked Warren to go home
and planned to personally take Luca home after the surgery was over.
He did not expect Sarah to turn out to be Marcos' birth mother.
Everything seemed like a series of accidents and coincidences. It was already past 11 at
night.
"Okay." Luca followed Luke into the car, and they headed back to the villa.
The next day...
Johann sent them good news. Sarah had woken up. After a few basic tests, her nervous
system was unaffected. Her vision, hearing, and speech abilities were all intact.
After Johann delivered the good news, he continued, "This is fortunate. The location of the
patient's previous cerebral aneurysm was quite dangerous. It could've had an impact on
various neural functions."
He did not mention it when he left the operating room, considering that Luca did not have
much of a connection to the patient.
Furthermore, he was very careful when he was performing the surgery. He did not injure
those areas.
Even though the doctors at Mercy Hospital were careless during the operation, fortunately,
they did not touch or leave any traces in those areas. Despite their carelessness, they
were still cautious.
Therefore, Sarah's current condition, given the circumstances, was still manageable.
Luke frowned as he listened to Johann. He suddenly felt the perilousness of the surgery.
However, with Johann performing the surgery, all these risks could be minimized.
He replied in a low voice, "There's something I need to tell you."
"Oh, does Mr. Crawford has something else to tell me?" Johann was in a good mood. He
even teased Luke.
Although Sarah's condition was not that complicated, it was highly dangerous. Fortunately,
the results of the rescue efforts were quite good, and Johann felt that it could contribute to
his research.
"Sarah is Marcos' birth mother," said Luke.
Marcos?
Johann narrowed his eyes. He knew this person, but they were not acquainted.
"What do you want me to do?" He did not know much about Marcos' family, but if Luke
mentioned it, he must need his help.
"Arrange for a VIP ward," replied Luke.
Since Marcos had found his biological mother, he would come to visit frequently. However,
it would not be appropriate for him to have too close of a relationship with Sarah in the
public eye at the moment.
Even though the people monitoring Marcos were distracted by Gale, Marcos could still
attract attention when he was walking on the streets.
If Sarah stayed in a public ward, Luke was worried that it would cause unnecessary
commotion, which would draw attention from the Russian side.
"Okay. There happens to be a vacant ward. I'll take care of it," replied Johann. Then,
something crossed his mind, and he asked, "So, have Marcos and his birth mother
acknowledged each other yet?"
He knew that Marcos had asked Luke to help find his birth mother. He even teased Luke
saying that they both were true businessmen by helping each other and mutually
benefiting from it.
"Not yet," answered Luke. He was puzzled why Johann would ask such a question.
"The patient still needs to stay in the ICU for another day. If there are no unexpected
complications, she can be transferred to the VIP ward tomorrow. But her condition isn't
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat stable yet. I don't recommend they meet each other first. This is to avoid significant
emotional fluctuations that could affect her blood pressure," Johann said carefully.
Sarah was physically fragile at the moment. Her emotions had to remain calm.
Luke furrowed his brows. Was it possible to stop Marcos from visiting Sarah?
He did not think Marcos could hold himself back.
"Patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms have particularly fragile blood vessels. If her
blood pressure fluctuates, I can't guarantee that it won't lead to a secondary bleeding. The
safest way is to let the patient rest for a week and then arrange a meeting," explained
Johann.
Marcos would have to endure seeing Sarah for a while longer.
Regardless of whether Sarah would acknowledge Marcos or not, any thoughts or emotions,
positive or negative, could inevitably cause excitement or other emotional responses
when they met each other. That would affect Sarah's blood pressure.
"Alright, I understand," replied Luke.
Even if he could not suppress Marcos, he had to hold him back. Sarah's safety and well-
being were what Marcos wanted the most.
After he ended the call with Johann, Luke dialed Marcos' number.
The moment the call connected, Marcos asked before Luke could speak, "Is there any
news about my mother?"
"Yes, your mother woke up today. After some preliminary examinations, no residual effects
were found for now. She'll have to stay in the ICU for treatment today. If everything goes
well, she'll be transferred to a regular ward tomorrow. I've already contacted Johann. Your
mother has been assigned a VIP ward," replied Luke.
Marcos felt a rush of excitement when he heard that Sarah was fine. He finally received
some good news after staying up all night.
"I'm going to the hospital now.”
"Marcos, listen, you can't see your mother yet." Luke immediately stopped him.
Marcos's overwhelming excitement was tempered slightly, replaced by some skepticism.
"Why not?"
"The patient needs some rest at the moment. It's not advisable for her to get emotionally
excited. If she acknowledges you and gets too excited, it'll affect her blood pressure and
potentially lead to a secondary bleeding," Luke passed on Johann's message.
