Renee stood there, staring blankly at the two people who appeared before her as if they were heavenly beings. A mix of emotions overwhelmed her, and tears streamed down her face once again.
Renee tried to speak. "Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton, I actually—"
"Don't say anything now. It's more urgent to save her," Cordelia interrupted, stepping forward and taking Renee's hand.
Renee's small hand felt cold, and she couldn't help but tremble as she suddenly felt a comforting warmth.
After all the necessary arrangements were made, Toph stood by Renee's side outside the operating room, silently waiting.
Zephyr had already sent the best experts, and Renee's mother would soon be out of danger.
Then, Cordelia coughed heavily and shot Toph a meaningful look while Zephyr approached.
"Toph, call your brother and tell him to come to the hospital immediately!"
"Uh, well…"
"Listen carefully. It's your brother!" Cordelia emphasized. "Tell him to come alone!"
Toph looked at his parents' troubled faces and knew that a storm was inevitable. He obediently made the call.
"Hey, Zuko." Toph retreated to a corner against the wall. "You... You're not busy at the moment, right?"
Zuko's voice came through with a roar. "Just say what you want!"
Toph quickly straightened up and spoke rapidly. "Conveying our mother's orders… Hurry to the hospital, alone!"
…
While waiting for Zuko, the emergency surgery had been successfully completed, and the doctors emerged from the operating room with relieved smiles.
Renee rushed over, but her emotions overwhelmed her, leaving her unable to utter a word.
Finally, Cordelia spoke up. "Is everything okay?"
"Don't worry, Madam." The doctor smiled. "The patient is out of danger. After the observation period, she can be transferred back to the ward. Professor Hamerton and Professor Stafford are currently inside discussing the next course of treatment."
