President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 594

Although Max had expected that the operation would go well, he still felt worried before he heard any news from the doctor.

Now that the surgery went well, he did not disappoint Laura.

Max said goodbye to the doctors before they left.

Fannie was taken to the ICU after the surgery and was monitored closely.

Because she had not yet passed the 48-hour critical period after surgery, Laura could not go in to see her yet.

She could only look at her from a distance through a thick glass.

She saw her mother lying on a white sheet, looking skinny and so weak.

Her heart was beating regularly and they could see it from the monitor screen next to her. As she looked at the data, tears flowed down her face.

And she didn't know when Max came up from behind.

He reached out, took her into his arms, then raised his hand to hold the back of her head, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Then he whispered, "You can cry if it makes you feel better."

Laura couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She hugged him, grabbed his clothes, and bawled.

In his arms, she seemed to let out all her worries, grievances, and fears over the years.

Max stood there holding her with her tears wet his lapel.

He felt the warmth of happiness and calmness and a sense of satisfaction in the bottom of his heart that he had never felt before.

After some time, she was exhausted from all the crying and there were no more tears coming out of her eyes.

She let go of him, a little embarrassed, and rubbed the corners of her eyes.

When she looked at the fabric on his shoulder that was moistened by her tears, her two flushed cheeks looked like two small tomatoes.

"Sorry. Your suit was ruined. "

Max laughed out of great joy.

He raised his hand to stroke her hair and said, "You can ruin all my suits if you want. My shoulders are for you to cry on."

His doting tone and eyes made Laura feel her heart skip a beat.

She felt hot, and her cheeks were red all the way to her ears.

She pinched her fingers out of embarrassment and said, "Are you hungry? Do you wanna grab something to eat?"

Max was a bit hungry indeed.

After all, they hadn't eaten anything since they came over this morning.

They were so worried about Fannie in the operating room, they didn’t even touch their lunch bought by Nicole.

Max took her hand and said, "Let’s have the roast duck you like."

Laura froze. Then she turned back and looked at her mother, who was lying in the ICU.

"But..."

Max knew she didn't want to leave her alone, but she should really eat for her health. Besides, he didn't intend to let her stay here all night because her body would not be able to take it.

Therefore, his face darkened as he said seriously, "We'll come back after we eat. And you will go home at 11 tonight to get some sleep. You could come over tomorrow after a good night's sleep. If you don’t listen to me, I won't allow you to come tomorrow."

His serious expression made him look a little scary.

Laura couldn't tell if he was serious or not. But she didn't dare to disobey him. It would be terrible if she didn’t get to see her mother tomorrow.

So she nodded reluctantly.

"All right then."

Max had a smile on his face again.
