Chapter 1033
"Jared, what are you doing?"
Henry looked back at Jared.
"Uncle Henry, you better bring your men and leave before my patience runs out," Jared said in a morose voice.
Henry could see that Jared meant it, and he did not dare to challenge him.He glanced at the operating room, thinking that a little girl like Nicole would only make things worse and cause Mr.Johnston Sr.to die even faster.
He grunted in anger and then spun around and led his men to leave.
The hallway became quiet again after Henry and his men left, and the light of the operating room was still on.
"Max, how long has Nicole been in there?"
Jared looked at him.
"Miss Riddle has been in there for about an hour."
Max looked at the time.
Jared took a deep breath, stood up, and started pacing the hallway.
As time passed, beads of sweat popped up on Nicole's forehead.
A nurse saw that and wiped them off for her.
Again, a long time had passed and Max's voice rang out.
"Mr.Johnston, the light is out."
Jared and the family butler immediately came forward, anxious eyes looking inside.
After a while, Nicole and Martin came out.
"How is my grandfather?"
Jared took Nicole's hand and looked into her eyes, trying to get an answer from inside.
"Your grandpa.is fine." Nicole sighed in relief.
"Really?"
Jared was in disbelief at hearing what Nicole said.
"Really." Martin reaffirmed what Nicole said.Jared looked at Martin for a moment and then at Nicole with grateful eyes.
"I can't believe you have saved my grandpa.Thank you."
"It is what I should do."
