The doctor came out of the operating room.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The operation was very successful. The patient is finally out of danger."
The deep crease in Matthew's forehead finally disappeared.
He felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
Selina was also greatly relieved.
However, she was also feeling a sliver of unease.
Now that Saoirse would be waking up soon, things would probably become rather troublesome, just as Tobias had told her.
Since Saoirse had done something so drastic, she would certainly be unwilling to return to Germany and give up on Matthew.
Selina's eyelashes trembled slightly.
It seemed that she and Matthew still had a long way to go.
Selina looked at Matthew. "Go in and see her, Matthew. I'm leaving now." "Go." Matthew's eyes flashed with an inexplicable glint.
Selina nodded her head. Her tone was a little bitter as she said, "There is no need for me to stay here. You can stay with Saoirse."
Matthew's breath hitched.
He suddenly grabbed hold of Selina's shoulder gently, and his deep gaze studied her face. "You have to go back to get proper rest, Selina, you're exhausted and you need to sleep soundly. It's not like what you think."
"It's true that I owe Saoirse and that I have to make it up to her. But this isn't something that involves the love between a man and a woman. From the beginning to the end, you are the only one in my heart. I don't want you to accept a compromise and think that your man is with another woman. Selina, do you understand what I mean?"
Selina's heart beat a little faster.
Matthew's words warmed her cold heart.
At this moment, she could fully comprehend Matthew's firm stance.
She nodded. "I understand. I'll go back to rest later."
Matthew's lips were right beside Selina's ear. "I don't want there to be a gap between us because of what happened. I will talk to her and make her understand. But know this, my heart will be with you always."
The man's warm breath enveloped her earlobe. "My little girl, do you understand?"
The corners of Selina's lips curved into a smile, though it was a forced one. "Okay, I understand."
Soon after, Saoirse was wheeled out of the operating room.
She was still in a coma.
Once Liselle saw Saoirse being wheeled out of the operating room, she cried out.
"Miss Saoirse, you're finally safe. You're safe at last."
"Miss Saoirse, open your eyes and look at me. It's me, Liselle."
"Miss, you must have suffered. I feel so sorry for you."
Selina's patience with Liselle wore thin with her cries.
She glanced at Liselle coldly and said, "Shut up!"
Just as Liselle was about to speak, Matthew opened his mouth to say, "Saoirse needs to rest now and you'll disturb her sleep."
Liselle dared not say anything more.
Saoirse was pushed into the ward. As she was currently lying on the surgical bed, someone would need to move her onto her hospital bed.
There was no doubt that Matthew would have to carry the responsibility of doing so.
Selina felt a bit reluctant.
She did not want Matthew to hold Saoirse in his arms.
After all, there was still a distinction between men and women.
However, she could not say that as it would make her seem too narrow-minded.
Right when Selina steeled herself, Matthew called a male doctor over. He then got the male doctor to move Saoirse onto the hospital bed.
Selina's eyes flashed with a light of adoration.
She did not expect Matthew to be so thoughtful or so considerate of her. The man must have known that she would feel upset at him touching Saoirse.
Once Saoirse was settled into the hospital bed, Matthew told Selina to return home first so that she could sleep.
Selina asked instinctively, "What about you? Are you going to keep watch here tonight?"
