The next day, Anthony worked hard to gather all the herbs, equipment, and blood supply that Francesca needed for the surgery.
In the evening, Francesca started operating on Lacy.
Anthony and Layla helped her from aside.
Around three hours later, she wrapped up the surgery.
Removing her surgical mask, Francesca wiped her sweat away and announced, "She'll need to be monitored for twenty-four hours. If nothing out of the ordinary happens, she'll be safe."
"We can take turns to do that, so you should get some rest," Layla urged.
"I'll take a shower. I need to meet William soon." Francesca hurried away.
Anthony wanted to go after her, but Layla stopped him.
"Not today. We need to keep an eye on Lacy. Besides, Francesca won't let you follow her."
“All right. Next time, then."
After taking a shower, Francesca drove her truck to Cafe Grape.
The owner was walking his dog nearby. When he spotted her, he waved at her from afar. "The hunk is waiting for you inside."
Francesca waved at him in return. She parked her truck at the entrance and walked into the cafe.
Robin brought his own coffee beans today. He ground them and brewed a few cups of fragrant coffee. The entire area smelled really nice.
"My exhaustion disappears the minute I smell the coffee," Francesca commented.
She took a deep breath and felt her entire being relax.
"You must be tired today." William gazed at her tenderly.
"Your eyes are bloodshot."
"Yeah, I'm exhausted. The surgery lasted for five hours." Francesca massaged her brows. "I'm sorry you have to wait for me."
