The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1621

The moment Aurora saw her brother lying on the ground, her heart nearly stopped with fright!

Thankfully, when she checked, he was still breathing.

With Craig by her side, strong and ready to assist, Aurora didn't call her mother to spill the beans in the middle of the night. Instead, she simply said she found her brother and was with him now.

"The patient has an acute gastric perforation and needs surgery," the doctor announced with a grave tone after the examination.

Aurora nodded vigorously, "Yes, go ahead with the surgery! As long as it can be treated, please do it!"

"Are you a family member?"

"Yes, I'm his sister."

The doctor frowned slightly, "Are there any other family members? Parents, wife?"

"They're not here," Aurora glanced at the doctor. "Dr. Henry, he's a friend of my brother."

With that said, everyone understood the situation.

"Ah, then please, come with me to sign the paperwork."

"Alright."

Aurora was busy non-stop, signing documents, confirming details, and listening to the doctor explain the potential risks of the surgery.

Craig remained steadfastly by the surgery room, not daring to leave even for a moment.

Fortunately, the perforation wasn't too severe. There was no need to remove part of the stomach; stitching up the perforation would suffice.

When Miles was wheeled out after the surgery, Aurora couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

"Bro, what were you thinking? Even without Felicity, you still have me, and our parents. How could you just give up?"

Miles, still under the influence of anesthesia, merely opened his eyes without saying a word.

"I won't allow this anymore! Mom and Dad still don't know about this. If they find out, they'll be so worried. You know Mom's health isn't great..."

After being scared half to death and then crying her eyes out, Aurora was physically drained.

"Oh."

Craig wasn't one to initiate conversation, even though he was about to marry into the Lopez family. His interactions with the Lopez family members remained somewhat distant, not out of aversion but simply due to his personality. He had always been this way, ever since he was a kid.

"You should get some sleep too. I'm fine."

Miles had fully regained consciousness, though his face was still pale and his lips colorless.

"No need, I'm not tired."

"Didn't you also stay up all night?"

"My mom often got sick in the middle of the night, so I'm used to staying up and taking care of her," Craig explained, showing that waiting rooms and emergency rooms were nothing new to him.

Miles managed a weak smile, "You guys... are getting married soon."
