Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 659

Lucas fell into silence, his mind working rapidly to figure out Joseph's whereabouts if he was not at the hospital. However, he failed to come up with any answers. Besides the hospital, where else did he have to be at this crucial moment?

Lucas was confused. He dialed Vince's number, who informed him that Joseph had not reached out to him either. In the end, Lucas’ only option was to return to the operating room door, sitting there feeling helpless as he waited.

The surgery carried on well into the late hours of the night. Megan approached Lucas, stifling a yawn as she instructed him, "Get Xavia some food. She’s tired from all that baby birthing."

"Why don't you get it?”

"I have to stay with Xavia. Besides, you're not the child's father. Will the nurses allow you inside?" Megan flicked her hair arrogantly. "And, I'm a celebrity. I can't just go outside and show my face in public."

Lucas felt irritated. "I can't leave either. Find someone else."

"No, you have to go. You have to pay. That's your job."

Her loud voice drew disapproving glances from the doctors.

"This is a hospital. Keep it down. If you want to argue, do it outside."

Lucas felt inexplicably dragged into the situation, and his impatience showed on his face. "Fine, just stop talking. I'll go and get it."

"Good, that's settled then. Saves me from wasting my breath." Megan hummed and walked away, swaying her hips.

Lucas hurriedly made his way to the supermarket downstairs, hoping to buy something as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the supermarket was closed, so he had to venture further in search of an open store.

After ten minutes, the doctor cheerfully said to Chloe, "The surgery is complete. Get some rest. The nurse will bring you to your ward later."

Chloe remained immobile, unable to express her gratitude to the doctor. Just then, another individual entered the room and engaged the doctor in a brief conversation. After that, the doctor departed with the individual, leaving only the nurse to attend to Chloe.

Weighed down by the sedative’s effects, Chloe felt drowsiness wash over her, prompting her to shut her eyes.

Unknown to Chloe and those in the operating room, a silent peril loomed closer. Alcohol, along with various accelerants, seeped into the room from under the door. In these late hours at the hospital, weariness had overcome the nurses and doctors, dulling their sensitivity to scents.
