Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Aurelia, unaware of anything, woke up at six in the morning.

It was Monday, the day of her mother’s surgery

She felt nervous.

Because of it, she got distracted when making breakfast, and her shaking hands almost burnt the eggs.

It was only half past six after she ate.

She didn’t want to bother Leslie and headed to the hospital alone.

soon as she entered the ward, the caretaker saw how pale she was and hurried over to help her.

“Ms. Simmons, you must’ve not slept well last night?”

“Yeah. I’m a little nervous,” Aurelia answered honestly.

“It’s okay. I’ll be right here with you.” The caretaker tapped her on the back gently.

“Thank you,” Aurelia said after taking a moment to breathe.

Like that, Aurelia and the caretaker watched as her mother was wheeled into the operating

room.

Shortly after, a nurse came out holding a form.

“Ms. Simmons, I need to inform you about the risks concerning the surgery. Watch closely where I point and make sure you sign after you take in all the information.”

“Sure.” Aurelia nodded.

“Your mom’s condition is quite unique and, considering her poor health, this surgery could potentially lead to paralysis or death…”

”

The nurse was carried on, but Aurelia wasn’t listening.

As soon as she heard the word ‘death’, her mind went blank.

She recalled how much her parents cared about her

What her father said to her in his last breath.

She thought back to how Seth told her to give up.

Even Leslie’s face flashed before her.

She knew that she was too afraid.

“Do you understand?” the nurse asked.

“Yes.” Aurelia nodded dazedly.

Aurelia’s heart fell.

She stood in place for a while.

After a while, the caretaker gave Aurelia a gentle nudge.

“Ms. Simmons, your phone keeps vibrating. Is someone looking for you?”

“I’ll check”

Aurelia snapped out of it.

She tried to move but even slight movements made her body go numb.

The caretaker had to help her sit down to help soothe the numbing pain.

She finally took out her phone.

The constant buzzings were from the company group chat.

She initially didn’t want to look.

But, she worried it might be work-related so she clicked onto the messages.

When she unlocked her phone, she saw photos of Millie looking like a completely different

person.
