Chapter 867
Avery could not slip away and had no choice but to let Mike return to Aryadelle with the twins first.
Adrian’s family was not happy with his post-surgery condition, but at least they did not give Avery a hard time about it.
Both parties signed an agreement before the surgery. Avery would treat Adrian’s illness, but she could not guarantee that the surgery would be a complete success.
Three days after the surgery, Avery’s phone rang at noon. Once she heard the phone ringing, she quickly wrapped up changing Robert’s diaper, then picked up her phone and answered the call.
“Adrian’s awake, Doctor Tate. He can hear us this time and he’s responding.” Adrian’s father, Nathan, was the one on the other line. Avery suddenly felt relieved, “I’ll head over to the hospital right away.”
She hung up the phone, then handed the baby to Mrs. Cooper. Once she arrived at the hospital, she hurried over to the patient’s room. “He went back to sleep again, Doctor Tate,” Nathan said in confusion with furrowed brows.
” Is he still weak from the surgery? He isn’t just going to be unconscious this whole time, is he? If that’s the case, then he was better off before the surgery!”
“You’ve never had major surgery before, have you? The week after a major surgery is when the patient is at their weakest,” Avery said sternly.
“I see. Don’t get mad, Doctor Tate. I’m not doubting you. I just feel like he’s still kind of an idiot.” Nathan rubs his hands together. He was clearly unhappy with the post-op results.
Avery’s heart tightened in her chest.
