How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 342

Mrs. Winslet had only stopped by briefly the day before yesterday, unable to commit to the usual two-hour daily tutoring sessions.

No amount of money seemed enough to secure Mrs. Winslet's services anymore.

Morwenna could tell what Claude was implying and sighed before replying, “Alright, I’ll swing by before school tomorrow.”

“Thanks, Mrs. Winslet.”

After setting things up with Claude, Morwenna put down her phone and continued to wait.

Whether it was because Jethro's situation was too critical or not, another two hours passed, and it wasn't until 1 A.M. that the lights outside the operating room finally turned off.

Violet rushed to the operating room doors.

Morwenna quickly got up and followed.

The doors opened.

“How is he? How’s my son?” Violet asked frantically.

“The surgery went well. He’s out of danger now but will need to stay in the ICU for a few days. Family members can’t visit just yet,” responded the assisting surgeon.

Violet, caught between tears and laughter, didn’t even think to thank Dr. Fletcher.

In her mind, these were the people responsible for her son's condition in the first place; saving him was the least they could do. Why should she offer thanks for that?

Dr. Fletcher wasn’t concerned with Violet’s gratitude. His decision to help wasn’t influenced by the Gallaghers in the slightest.

Noticing Dr. Fletcher's exhaustion, Morwenna asked, “Dr. Vaughn, are you alright?”

Dr. Fletcher paused.

It was rare for anyone to ask how he was doing after a surgery.

“Just a bit tired. It’s physically demanding work, and I might be running low on sugar,” Dr. Fletcher replied.

Morwenna, remembering something, dug into her pocket and pulled out a piece of candy, offering it to Dr. Fletcher.

With his hands still gloved, Dr. Fletcher didn’t take it.

Morwenna unwrapped the candy and held it up to his mouth, “A bit of sugar will make you feel better.”

It felt like a forbidden temptation, but Dr. Fletcher couldn’t help but accept the candy.

Morwenna watched him with concern.

“Don’t worry, I feel much better now,” Dr. Fletcher reassured her softly.
