"Good news?" Alvera looked at him in bewilderment. A moment later, she suddenly smiled. "You've done it?"
Samuel nodded.
"Okay, I understand now," she said, as they looked at each other.
Samuel patted her on the shoulder. "You chose your own path, so you have to walk it. If you die in this surgery, I'll pretend that never happened."
"Are you sure you're here to see me, not curse me?" Alvera asked jokingly as she lay back down on the bed. "Miss, let's go quick, I don't want to see this a*shole."
...
Samuel laughed and stepped back from the bed. "Good luck. I'll wait for you here."
...
Alvera and Andrina were pushed into the operating room one after the other.
As the doors closed, Alvera could hear Andrina crying bitterly and calling out Roland's name weakly.
She was put under anaesthesia as was required in the operating room.
Everything after that just felt like a long dream...
Outside the operating room, Luna was crying while leaning on Thomas.
...
Samuel paced back and forth at the door, checking the time repeatedly.
Roland was the only person who was indifferent as if nothing was happening. He played with an unlit cigarette in his hands, glancing at Samuel from the corner of his eye.
...
This man was making him feel uncomfortable.
He knew all of Alvera's secrets.
Roland's expression turned cold as he thought of all the times Alvera had lied to him.
Alvera recovered well after the surgery and was soon transferred to the general ward after being in the ICU for just three days.
When she was sent back to the general ward, Roland was in the room.
She glanced at him but said nothing.
"I've hired these four nurses to take care of you," he said. "If you need anything, let them know. If you're not well, you can also tell them and they will find a doctor for you as soon as possible."
"Okay," she replied.
Roland looked serious as he asked, "Does the wound... still hurt?"
Alvera looked at him and forced a smile. "Guess."
