Roxanne walked out of the operating room and removed her mask. Flashing Madilyn a smile, she announced, “Madilyn, we succeeded!”
Madilyn shot up from her seat. Her body, which had been trembling nervously just a second ago, stiffened when she heard Roxanne.
Then, joy overtook her face.
She rushed forward and hugged Roxanne tightly.
“Thank you so much, Roxanne. Thank you for saving my mom. You're my savior! I don't know how I could ever repay you...”
Roxanne embraced Madilyn and patted her back with her right hand.
“It's okay now. Everything is okay now. Mdm. Xander's heart failure has been cured. She'll be fine from now on,” she comforted.
Tears of joy streaked Madilyn's face.
Standing at the side, Lucian gazed at Roxanne approvingly and gave her a thumbs up.
While Roxanne reminded Madilyn to take good care of Lorraine, fatigue swept over her.
“All right, I know. It's almost dawn already, so hurry and go home with Mr. Farwell. Have a good sleep. I'll take care of everything here,” said Madilyn with concern.
She had completely calmed down by then.
Roxanne bobbed her head and left with Lucian.
As they were walking out of the hospital, she could hardly take another step because of how tired she was. In the end, Lucian bent down and piggybacked her to their car.
Upon getting into the back seat, Roxanne lay down and fell asleep in an instant.
Not wanting to disturb her, Lucian drove slowly and carefully.
When they arrived home, he was reluctant to wake her, but Roxanne got up on her own groggily.
