Garrett had a bunch of things left to do, but he just nodded. “No problem. Saving lives is what doctors do. I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah, see you.”
As soon as they stepped out of the operating room, a crowd gathered around them. Garrett slipped away, pulled out his phone, and called his mom back.
She picked up almost immediately, her voice full of worry. “Where have you been, you brat? Why didn’t you answer your phone? Are you trying to make me worry myself sick?”
Garrett tried to calm her down. “I’m here now, aren’t I? Relax. Something came up at the last minute, but it’s sorted out. I’m heading back now.”
“You could have at least let me know! You said your flight would land at three thirty and now it’s seven!”
“Alright, alright, I just got out of surgery. I’m coming home now. Let’s talk when I get there.”
He was about to hang up when she called out, “Wait.”
He grinned. “Yes, Mother? Anything else?”
She couldn’t help but laugh at his teasing. “Did you remember to get a present for your sister like I told you?”
Garrett raised an eyebrow, even though she couldn’t see him. “And if I didn’t?”
She huffed. “If you didn’t, you might as well not bother coming home!”
Garrett laughed. “I got it, I got it. I’m on my way.”
“Good. Come to the hospital first to visit your grandfather, and then we’ll all go home to see your sister together.”
She knew just how dangerous things had been for Violette. Hearing the surgery was a success felt like a miracle.
“No need to thank me. It was a team effort. She’ll need to stay in the ICU for a couple of hours for observation. If everything looks good, she can move to a regular room and get some rest.”
“Thank you, really, thank you.”
Connor had been waiting nearby, watching everyone thank Lydia. He couldn’t help feeling proud. This was his fiancée, the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. She was so amazing, she made him want to be better.
After giving the family all the details and saying goodbye to Dr. Donley, Lydia started walking over to Connor. She’d noticed him standing there. Before she could reach him, her phone rang. It was Kylie.
“Mom?”
“Lydia, are you almost done for the day? Your brother Garrett just got back. Can you come home for dinner tonight?”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
