Outside the operating room of the Royal Hospital, Alivia was sitting on a bench in the corridor, anxiously looking at the medical staff coming and going from time to time. After nearly five hours of suffering, the operating room door finally opened.
Doctor Wilson took off the mask on his face as he walked out. He couldn't hide his exhaustion.
Alivia quickly walked over and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my mother?"
"The operation was very successful. Don't worry. She can be transferred to the ward later." Doctor Wilson raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. "Now you can finally relieve a heavy burden."
Alivia breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that the heavy stone on her chest had finally been removed, and her shoulders slumped with relief. "Thank you so much."
"Don't mention it. You can have a look later."
Twenty minutes later, Romy Clark was pushed into the ward. The anesthesia had not passed yet, and she was still in a coma. The nurse gave Alivia some instructions and left. Six beds in the ward were full, so it was not peaceful.
Alivia looked at her weak mother on the bed, and her heart was full of unspeakable feelings. Some time ago, she was still deeply troubled by the operating expenses. In the blink of an eye, the operation had been completed.
Alivia was even a bit dizzy. Although the subsequent medical expenses would also be quite high, it was still better than the burden of 400,000 dollars. However...
Alivia thought of the man who gave her hundreds of thousands of dollars when they met a few times. The number of times they met could be counted on one hand, but his eyes and appearance seemed imprinted in her mind.
What was he trying to achieve by giving her such a large sum of money and then disappearing?
