Chapter 142 What Do You Want in Return?
In the hospital corridor, Aurora especially found a quiet place and dialed Carter’s number.
“Ms. Bennet, what is it?”
“Where is he?”
“Zac is having dinner with his partner. He is…”
“Send the location to me.”
With that, Aurora hung up and walked quickly to the elevator.
Both Zac and Dalwin were at the diner. Carter quickly went in and reported to Zac about Aurora’s
coming over.
When Dalwin vaguely heard Aurora’s name, he hurriedly winked at Zac as if he was saying I got this and you could do your business.
Zac then stood up, his eyes revealing less coldness as he walked out.
He had never waited for anyone, much less a woman.
Zac walked around the hall. He walked back and forth. He grabbed the buttons on his sleeves helplessly. There was only one thing “what was Aurora doing here” in his mind.
Was she coming to turn him down or…?
The door was electrical in the hotel. Zac would look in that direction every time the door was
opened.
Until Aurora appeared, he put down his coffee cup and looked up.
He waited for her to walk toward him. Although he knew that she had come for another man, he just couldn’t hold it. He had a thing for her.
He looked at Aurora’s expression and slowly said, “Sit.”
Aurora looked at him coldly for a long time before saying.
“What do you want?”
This didn’t sound like gratitude,
Zac frowned. “L…”
“If you want to ask someone to harm Terry during the operation, I will never forgive you,” Aurora
said seriously. She did not expect Zac to be so despicable.
Aurora kept staring at him.
“You think I will do that kind of thing?” Zac did not defend himself and leaned back, his eyes cold.
Aurora sneered. “You are so devious! Nothing you could do would surprise me.”
Aurora thought, last night, weren’t you the one who bribed Patrick and tricked me here?
You were such a liar!
The reason why Aurora was so mad was that she couldn’t believe that Zac was her ex-husband.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Zac put a card on the table and said, “This is the phone number of the International Medical Association. You can call it and ask. Those two doctors are indeed experts in the field of orthopedics. I just … want to help.”
“What do you want in return?”
Aurora knew that Zac was a businessman, and he would never make a deal without a price.
Zac picked up his coffee cup and suppressed the raging flames in his chest. “Nothing.”
Aurora obviously did not believe him. “I know that it is a private hospital and the Buchanna Group invests in it. But if you want to do something shady behind the scenes, you will definitely be exposed. I will be by Terry’s side for 7/24. So, don’t try to play tricks.”
7/24?
The man’s eyes turned cold. He unconsciously thought of last night and then he put down the coffee
cup.
Acrisp sound was heard.
Just as Aurora got up and was about to leave, he called out to her, “I can also persuade the Racing Association to change the result if you agree to my other conditions.”
Well…
Since Aurora wanted to quarrel with him, Zac just cut to the quick.
“What conditions?” Aurora looked as if she had predicted his ill intentions, her tone cold.
Zac ignored her reaction and threw out a bunch of keys. “Move into my villa. As for the rest, I’ll tell you slowly.”
“Zac, are you crazy?” Without even thinking, Aurora turned around and walked out.
She thought that he must have been unsatisfied with Wenny. She thought Zac just treated her as a
sex partner.
Zac sat on his seat and sighed deeply. He shook his head helplessly and kept the key.
For the first time, he knew that it was such a difficult thing to redeem a woman’s prejudice against
him.
He took out his phone and dialed a number. “Arrange surgery for Terry as soon as possible. Also, cure him!”
As long as Terry was fine, Aurora did not have to feel any guilt anymore.
When that happened, she would have nothing to do with the Walton family anymore.
Thinking of this, Zac turned around and returned to the private room.
Aurora returned to the hospital. The doctor had already given her an operation plan. The assistant of the two experts had brought the agreement letter and explained in great detail what might happen.
Aurora listened to every word, every detail.
She kept communicating with them to confirm things.
Kate was stunned to hear them talking. “Aurora, about the blood cell transplant, how did you know that?”
“I have checked some information in the past few days. There were cases similar to Terry’s. Some of them were cured and some of them had a few illnesses after three or four years.”
Seeing that Aurora was so attentive to Terry, Kate became more and more satisfied.
As Aurora continued to check the details of the operation with the doctors, Kate came to the hospital bed. “Your girlfriend is really good. Your father and I like her. After the operation, let’s settle this between you two.”
Kate felt that Aurora was much better than Sara.
More importantly, Aurora was really honest.
Kate thought, although Aurora wasn’t born into a great family, as long as she treated Terry sincerely and could give birth to children in a few years, they were gonna live a happy life.
Terry blushed.
“Mom, what are you talking about?”
He had been through so much to get Aurora. He didn’t have the courage to propose to her so
quickly
If Aurora turned him down, it would be the worst.
“You’re not getting any younger. You should think about the future. Don’t worry, I’ll help you. I think the small garden behind the hospital is pretty romantic!”
Kate made an OK gesture and hummed as she walked out of the ward.
Aurora was done checking the details. After sending the expert’s assistant away, she told Terry.
But Terry seemed to go bananas. He only looked at her face.
“Are you listening? This is your operation. Can you focus on this?”
Terry leaned back and smiled. “My life is on yours. The operation is not a big deal. By the way, where have you been in the afternoon? I have been looking for you.”
“My tummy was going funny. I went to the bathroom.”
As Aurora spoke, she turned around to get a tangerine and stuffed it into Terry’s hand. “Here you are. I’ll go out for a while.”
She was almost escaping from Terry’s ward.
Standing outside, she breathed a sigh of relief.
If what Zac said was the truth and the operation went smoothly, the day after tomorrow would be the day Terry could stand up again.
Aurora looked at the blue sky outside the window, silently praying.
However, things change.
Just the night before the operation, the storage of blood in the blood bank was insufficient.
“It looks like the operation has to be delayed. We need to prepare sufficient spare blood bags. Otherwise, the operation might be dangerous.”
Bob and Kate looked at each other, both worried.
Terry comforted them, “It’s fine, just a few days later.”
“But the experts might be leaving. It will affect your condition greatly.” Lewis was a little anxious.
However, time was tight, and it was too late to transfer blood from a foreign blood bank.
