Suddenly, Barclay's gaze met Fletcher's, sending a shiver down Fletcher's spine. He quickly shook off his wild thoughts, shouting, "Right, right, Fletcher, you handle the surgery, and I'll cover the medical expenses!"
So much for tenderness—it was all an illusion!
Fletcher's look was as if he was a fox plotting something sinister!
Fletcher agreed to perform the surgery.
In the hospital room stood Barclay and Morwenna, with Violet barely holding back.
At this moment, her son's life was the priority. Everything else could wait.
Fletcher quickly got ready, and Jethro was wheeled into the surgery room.
Violet followed as far as the surgery room door, looking on helplessly as her son was taken inside.
Morwenna and Barclay didn't leave either.
Morwenna had promised to wait for Fletcher, and Barclay decided to stay with Morwenna.
Violet glared at the two of them but didn't do anything.
At this time, she couldn't take on both of them.
If she caused a scene and disturbed the operating room, she was afraid it would affect her son's surgery.
Sitting in a chair outside the surgery room, Violet finally had a moment to call Adelaide.
She dialed the number, only to find it was turned off.
Violet cursed under her breath, "Daring to turn off your phone at a time like this, wait till I get back to deal with you."
Meanwhile, Adelaide was at Hetfield's Homestead.
She sneakily positioned herself out of the kitchen's surveillance cameras, made a fruit and vegetable smoothie, and slipped some medication into it.
Then, leaving the kitchen, she found a maid and said, "It seems Ms. Winslet made this fruit and vegetable smoothie in the kitchen. Please, take it to Mr. Hetfield in the study."
The maid, without giving it much thought, dutifully carried the smoothie to the study.
Lately, Morwenna had been trying to tackle Stuart's picky eating habits, thinking his temper might be due to a lack of vitamins, and had been preparing him daily fruit and vegetable smoothies.
So, when the maid delivered the smoothie to the study, the busy Stuart didn't question it.
