Christina seemed to be really worried this time about Mr. Thomas. Instead of starting an argument with Charles and Sarah, she just answered in a calm and helpless tone. “Still in surgery.”
Emma stood up and sobbed, “Brother… Dad’s condition is dire this time, will he be ok? Charles, I’m really worried about dad!”
Charles patted her shoulder to comfort her, but Emma, who was even more insatiable than usual, held Charles’s waist and cried out to him, “Brother, I’m so afraid, I’m afraid he won't make it, will he be ok?”
Sarah felt so ridiculous when she saw her acting like this, but she could do nothing but sneer silently, Emma was really a shameless person. Even at a moment like this, she still remembered to try to take advantage of the situation, so brazen!
Christina just stood there and looked at them with a slightly triumphant smile, consenting to Emma's behavior.
Charles had no choice but to comfort Emma since she looked genuinely grieved and depressed.
Sarah figured that this was not the place to argue with Emma as it would be very disrespectful if the two of them entered into a power battle right now. She decided to ignore Emma’s actions for now and persuaded herself that it was useless to argue with such an ignorant person.
The door from the operating room opened, and a doctor wearing a face mask walked out. Everyone expected the surgery to be over, so they all were about to gather around the doctor to listen to what he would have to say. But given that only one doctor came out, they knew that the surgery wasn't over yet. Sarah recognized the doctor as Daniel, and walked over to him and asked, “Daniel, is that you? Are you the main surgeon?”
Daniel was surprised to see Sarah since she hadn't been there when Mr. Thomas was first brought to the hospital and figured that they had just arrived. Surprised, he answered. “You’re here. The head of cardiology is the main doctor. I’m just an assistant!”
“How is Mr. Thomas?” Sarah asked anxiously.
Daniel comforted her, “Don’t worry. The surgery isn't over yet. We should trust the surgery team. I’m on my way to getting another surgical instrument; I need to keep going. We can talk later!” He added and quickly left.
Sarah felt upset and was really worried about Mr. Thomas's wellbeing.
Suddenly, Christina mocked Sarah. “So close to him? Do you remember who you are?”
Sarah didn’t know how to answer, but fortunately, Charles came to her rescue and replied in a cold tone. “Mom, is it time to argue? Dad is still in the operation room! Sarah is worried about him and tried to get some information. I don’t care about it, so why are you complaining?”
