A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 424

Cassandra anxiously waited outside the operating room with Stella and Lyndsy's agent.

All of them stared at the doors eagerly, hoping that at any moment, someone would come out and tell them that Lyndsy was going to be okay. However, several hours passed and no one came out.

Soon, reporters arrived at the doors of the operating room as well, waiting for the latest scoop and for Lyndsy to finally emerge. This irritated Cassandra. She immediately called the security guard in to drive them away.

"This is a public place. You have no right to drive us away!"

the reporters yelled, causing huge chaos in the hospital.

"I will call the police if you don't go away right now. This is invasion of privacy!" she called back.

Thinking about Lyndsy lying unconscious in the operating room and dealing with the snooty reporters stressed her out so much.

"Celebrities have no privacy. Without media people like us, do you think Lyndsy would even be this popular?"

the reporters reasoned out. They were not about to give up this hot take.

Outside the operating room, the chaos was soon going out of control.

"Everyone, please get out,"

said a calm, low, but powerful voice all of a sudden. This immediately turned everyone quiet.

Cassandra turned to see who it was. The person who just arrived was a tall handsome man with cool, deep, eagle eyes. On him was a sleek, dark suit.

"If you want to interview Lyndsy, you can come to the press conference we'll hold later. Right now, she's still at a critical condition so there is nothing yet to see. Can you all wait a bit?"

Rufus said as he looked at the agitated reporters. Then, he eyed the security guards behind him.

The uniformed men immediately gathered and escorted the reporters out. This finally relieved Cassandra.

"Did they hurt you?"

Rufus went up to her and asked. He went to check on her as soon as she got out of the skirmish with the reporters, his eyes full of concern.

Looking at Rufus, Cassandra remembered he was in charge of TY Group and it was TY Entertainment who invested in the movie. This made her heart sink.

"The person you need to care about right now is Lyndsy. We don't know what is going on with her,"

Cassandra said as she tilted her head helplessly. She could still see it in her mind: Lyndsy lying on the floor, blood covering her face...This gave her a lump in her throat.

"Of course I care about Lyndsy. I've talked to the hospital director and I asked him to do everything they can to save her,"

Rufus said reassuringly as he looked at Cassandra's face.

"And the shooting location. You must tell them to check it carefully. Why did the machine break when it was first used on Lyndsy?"

Cassandra questioned as if she were speaking on behalf of her friend to the TY Group.

"My men are working into it. We'll know the results soon,"

Rufus replied, squinting at the little woman in front of him. He could tell that Cassandra was immensely stressed and upset at the moment.

She barely even looked at him. She just kept looking at the doors of the operating room. One could tell that she was clearly very worried about her friend.

"Cassandra, don't worry. It'll be fine,"

Rufus said in an attempt to console Cassandra, but all he got was her rejection.

Cassandra found herself taking a step backward, further away from Rufus. She put her fingers to her temple and started to rub them. She looked very exhausted.

Suddenly, the doors of the operating room opened and the doctor came out.

Cassandra and the others immediately approached him wanting to know how was Lyndsy.

"Her head was damaged, and her legs and waist were also severely injured. Currently, she is in a coma. The operation was successful but it is still early to tell if the recovery will go well,"

The doctor said and then left immediately after he shared the findings. Everyone stayed outside to wait for Lyndsy to be carried out.

Stella was very nervous, gripping Cassandra's arm so tightly that it was painful, but she endured it.

In a few minutes, a nurse finally started to push Lyndsy out. Everyone followed her into the ward which was reserved for VIPs.

Rufus followed but was stopped by Cassandra as he was about to enter the ward.

"Cassandra?"

Rufus asked as he looked at her in surprise. Her arms were wide open and she was standing firmly by the door.
