The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 110

"Thank you, Dr. Zale."

As Madeline stepped out, Fiona had just arrived. Seeing the bandage on Madeline's forehead, Fiona refused to let her push herself any further and insisted she go home to rest.

Unable to argue with her, Madeline finally agreed.

When she walked out to the entrance, Hunter was already waiting for her.

He had heard from Dr. Zale that Madeline was coming in to discuss the surgical plan today and wanted to check on her.

But the moment he saw the thick gauze wrapped around her pale forehead and how exhausted she looked, his heart clenched.

He quickly walked over.

"Are you finished?"

"Yeah. Hunter, what are you doing here?"

"I was worried about you. And the child. Zachary already walked me through the surgical plan, and I think it's a solid approach."

Madeline didn't give a direct answer.

She didn't have the same level of connections or medical knowledge as Hunter.

She knew absolutely nothing about cardiac surgery.

Hunter easily read the hesitation in her eyes.

"Maddy, if you're really worried about Zachary's expertise, I can introduce you to another private specialist. He's a top professor in cardiology, though his focus is more academic than clinical."

"That won't be necessary. Hunter, you've already helped me so much."

"I'm just anxious, that's all. I know Dr. Zale is brilliant; I just need a second opinion for my own peace of mind."

After all, this was open-heart surgery for Evie.

"I understand."

"By the way, how is your head? I saw the news."

Madeline frowned at the mention of the news, suddenly recalling Sloane's theory.

Wait. Was it really not Hunter who bought out the trending searches to protect her?

But... who else would spend that kind of money to defend her?

Despite her suspicions, Madeline kept her expression neutral.
