The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 163

Madeline walked over and took a seat on the living room sofa.

It was truly a miracle; York wasn't even giving Seraphina any face anymore.

York hung up the phone and walked out. The moment he saw Madeline's indifferent expression, he instantly knew she had probably overheard the gist of it.

Two years had passed, and her biggest change was how perfectly she concealed her emotions.

In the past, she might have just been pretending to be aloof, but now she was truly unreachable.

Like a stunning flower blooming behind a wall of clouds.

York pulled a tissue from the box, wiping his hands as he asked:

"You don't have anything to ask?"

"No."

Madeline hadn't forgotten what happened at The Yates Manor last time, and a faint smile touched her lips.

"I can't change what your mother thinks of me."

"Weren't we going to the airport to pick someone up?"

York didn't push the topic. The two of them headed to the airport, arriving right as Dr. Julia Jansen did.

Surprisingly, she was Asian-American.

Her resume was extensive—she had worked as an international doctor and even served in the military.

She gave off an incredibly warm and gentle presence.

She shook hands with York and then Madeline.

"Mr. Yates, let's go see the patient first."

"Alright. Professor Jansen, I've already arranged your hotel accommodations as well."

"You truly think of everything, Mr. Yates."

On the way to the hospital, Madeline sent a quick text to Fiona Xavier.

She was terrified that Evie might slip up again like last time.

Three hours later, Dr. Jansen met Evie. Sloane and Lucas were also in the hospital room.

She winked at Madeline, giving her a reassuring look.

"Professor, my daughter is planning to have surgery soon, and the medical team here has already drawn up a surgical plan."

"With all your international clinical experience, could you please take a look at it?"
