Never Late, Never Away Chapter 705
“I know.” Vivian nodded gratefully. “Hurry.”
“Call me if anything happens,” Finnick repeated anxiously before hesitantly retreating from the ward.
Not long after Finnick left, Rachel woke.
The moment Rachel opened her eyes, Vivian stood up and asked, “How do you feel? Do you feel unwell?”
“I-I…” As Rachel had just woken up, her mind was still muddled.
“You just came out of surgery,” Vivian informed. “The surgery went well, so you’re fine now. However, you need to make sure that you get adequate rest. The doctor said your body might show signs of transplant rejection in the beginning, but it’s temporary. You’ll be fine after enduring it. Let me call for a doctor to check you up now.”
At that, Vivian turned, about to call the doctor. However, Rachel stopped her. “Vivian, where’s Evelyn? She just came out of surgery too. Is she… Is she fine?”
When Vivian heard Rachel’s immediate concern for Evelyn upon her awakening, her heart ached even more. She had been running herself ragged for Rachel recently, but it seemed like Evelyn was the only one in Rachel’s heart; Rachel did not even feel upset about how Vivian had worked herself to the ground.
Swallowing her misery, Vivian replied, “Evelyn’s fine. She has gone back to rest now. Once you’re better, I’ll ask her to visit you.”
“No! There’s no need for that,” Rachel blurted out. “She already has weak health. She… She must be even weaker now. You don’t need to rush her to visit me. Let her rest first.”
“Okay,” Vivian murmured as her eyes watered. Pasting a smile onto her face, she continued, “I understand. Rest first, then. I’ll ask the doctor to do a checkup for you.”
“Okay.” After hearing that Evelyn was fine, Rachel’s heart in her throat returned to her chest. Soon, she fell asleep again.
