It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 423

Daisy's nerves were tensed as it seemed like a century had passed before the closed door of the ICU showed a sign of opening. Looking at Tom who appeared utterly exhausted, she couldn't bring herself to ask him about Edward's situation. She stood listlessly and was afraid to hear any bad news from him.

"Tom, how is everything?" Seeing Tom stepping out of the door, Luke walked to him first and asked worriedly. He shot concerned looks into the ICU but failed to see anything.

"Everything is fine. We made it." Tom was so exhausted that he slowly sat down on the chair. The thoracotomy surgery was highly risky because it was operated near both heart and lungs. So relatively severe post-operative complications might transpire accordingly, such as a pulmonary cyst or a heart failure. Edward was in the later situation. It was more dangerous than a pulmonary cyst.

"He's alright, isn't he?" Daisy asked tentatively, with an expression of great hope on her face. She stared at Tom, expecting to hear some encouraging news.

"Yes, for now. But we'll have to wait for three days before he completely gets out of danger. Let's see whether he'll wake up in the next 12 hours." Tom pressed his eyebrow. He had already been very tired after the operation. Afterward, the one-hour long emergency rescue pushed him to his utmost limit both physically and mentally.

"Thank you, Tom. Can I go inside to see him?" Daisy kept rubbing her hands. She was still very nervous.

"Well… Fine! It'll probably be good for him. He might respond if you stay with him and talk to him." Tom thought for a few seconds. He felt whether the patient would make it through or not essentially depended on the success of the operation. But the patient's desire for life was equally crucial. In some instances, it proved to be more effective than other factors.

"Really?" Daisy was excited. She had been parted with him since he entered the operating room, that was roughly eight hours ago. Though she could see him through the cold glass window, she couldn't touch him. In that sense, he felt unreal to her. He was so near to her yet so far too.

"Let's go! I'll get you sterilized." Tom forced a weak smile. Seemingly he was also disturbed by Edward's condition.

Finally, Daisy was able to see Edward's handsome face closely. She couldn't help clenching her fists at the sight of the various medical equipments and related pipes on his body.
