Since accidents could always happen during surgeries, they were also worried about the bone marrow donor apart from Stanley Batton. They really hoped that Stanley and the donor would both be safe.
Since Josh Batton was around, nurses in the hospital kept looking for various excuses to walk past them occasionally.
Some even found excuses to walk past over a dozen times…
With people constantly walking past Xyla Quest, she felt even more disturbed by their noisy footsteps.
Sharon Lindt held Xyla’s hand gently. “Xyla, don’t worry. Everything will be alright,” she said carefully.
Although Sharon was also worried, she couldn’t express too much of it for fear of affecting Xyla’s mood.
Never mind that Xyla was already pregnant.
Even if she wasn’t pregnant, Sharon didn’t want to affect her.
Xyla nodded gently, but she didn’t speak. Instead, she silently closed her eyes and started praying for Stanley and the bone marrow donor.
“Isn’t Grandpa coming today?” Josh asked.
“Your grandfather caught a severe cold when he spent time with a friend overseas. Your brother said he didn’t want to disturb the old man and hoped he would rest to get better… That’s why we didn’t tell him,” Sharon said truthfully.
Josh understood the situation after hearing this. Hence, he shifted his gaze to Xyla’s face. “Xyla… Don’t worry. Stanley and that person will be fine…”
“Hmm…” Xyla nodded, but she didn’t speak much either.
Meanwhile, Catherine Batton was also too nervous to speak.
Wilson Batton also remained silent. His facial expression became increasingly tense.
***
Approximately an hour later…
The light above the operating room that indicated the surgery was underway suddenly went off…
When Xyla saw this, she immediately stood up along with the rest of the Batton family.
At that moment, everyone felt their hearts rising to their throats.
