Chapter 8
The next morning, the equipment donated by Jalen arrived at the hospital. The dean came to take it. It was enough to show how much the hospital valued this batch of equipment.
Elaina did not care about this. She was looking through Marie’s examination results and discussing the possible accidents with the doctors in other departments.
Two hours later, the equipment was installed. Elaina led her team to the operating room.
Jalen was waiting at the door of the operating room. When he saw her coming, he immediately got up and came to Elaina. He asked, “Are you confident?”
“If I say I’m not confident, are you planning to take her away?” Elaina asked, wearing a mask.
Jalen froze, unable to refute.
At this point, regardless of whether Elaina was confident or not, Marie had to undergo surgery. Jalen couldn’t back out now.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Halton. I will do my best.” She would not let Marie die in the surgery.
The group entered the operating room. As the operation lights lit up, the atmosphere became tense.
Time passed, and six hours passed. The operation lights were still on.
“Mr. Halton, why don’t you take a rest? I’ll stay here with her.” Graham looked at Jalen who hadn’t drunk water
all day and was a little worried.
Jalen shook his head and said in a thick tone, “The doctors in the operation haven’t rested. Why should I
rest?”
He didn’t expect the operation to last so long. He was a little worried and was surprised the petite woman
could perform such a long surgery.
“Order some food, so that the staff can eat after the operation,” Jalen suddenly said to Graham.
Graham was a little surprised. It was the first time he had heard that the patient’s family wanted to order
food for the doctors. When had Jalen become so kind?
Graham looked at the operation room and thought of the person lying on the operation table. He suddenly
understood.
It should all be for Marie. After all, Jalen had promised her brother that he would take good care of her. Now
that these doctors were operating on her, it was great for Jalen to show gratitude.
Another half an hour later, the lights in the operating room went out. The door opened, and a nurse came out
first. “Is Marie’s family there?”
Jalen immediately got up. “Has the operation succeeded?”
“Yes, Dr. Gainsford said it was a success. The patient should be transferred to the ICU. Go with me to settle the formalities,” the nurse replied, feeling tired.

Jalen looked at Graham. The latter nodded and followed the nurse to go through the formalities.
Not long after, Elaina and the others walked out. They were all pale and looked exhausted.
