Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 107

Brian was fuming, "That woman is absolutely obsessed with Joshua! She's been tailing him for a decade, but he's barely exchanged a dozen words with her. Her mental state is definitely off. Allie, maybe she's acting out of jealousy because she thinks you 'stole' Joshua from her."

Rose's chest rose and fell with rage. "She's a total nutcase! If anything happens to my boy, I won't let her get away with it!"

Emily's expression was stern as she glanced at Rose. "Rose, Joshua's still in the operating room. How can you talk like that? Are you trying to jinx him?"

Rose's eyes were red and brimming with tears. "Mom... I didn't mean it like that..."

The moment she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.

Ben scolded her, "Stop crying. Joshua is still fighting in there. It's bad luck to cry now."

Allison was too overwhelmed to pay attention to their squabble.

To Allison, every second dragged on endlessly, and each moment was sheer torment. Guilt, regret, anxiety, and fear smothered her, making her chest feel tight and her heart ache. It was as if she was drowning, gasping for breath.

...

Time crawled by.

The sun started dipping below the horizon.

Finally, after what felt like forever, the doors to the emergency room swung open.

Rose was the first to rush over, her voice urgent. "Doctor, how's my son?"

The others quickly gathered around, anxious for news.

Allison's hands shook with nerves and her palms were slick with sweat. She was caught between hope and dread.

The doctor removed his mask, his face weary but relieved. "The patient is out of the woods."
