The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 187

Chelsea felt dizzy after she was slapped, and it was only after a long time she regained her consciousness. When she raised her head, her right face was imprinted with bright red fingerprints.

Trembling, she covered her face and stared at Hayden in disbelief.

“You dare to slap me?”

“This slap was given to you on behalf of dad, who is still in the operating room for resuscitation. What did you just say? When dad wakes up, kneel and tell him word by word.”

Chelsea’s heart throbbed for a moment and she pursed her lips.

She had just said something wrong that her dad was going to die, which she still remembered.

However, she did not expect that Hayden kept on emphasizing that point.

“This is a hospital and here is an operating room. If you want to cry and make trouble, get lost and go wherever you want. Don’t make a fool of yourselves here. If you wanna stay here, just shut up.”

Hayden’s voice was not very loud but sounded unquestionable.

Chelsea looked unhappy and wanted to break free from Sofia’s hand to argue with Hayden, while Alayna said something in a low voice.

“What’s the matter? Does Ms. Downey think that the slap just now didn’t make you regain your consciousness? Before the security guards come, I think the police will not say anything if I do something to maintain the law in order not to affect the surgery inside.”

“You…”

“Chelsea.”

Sofia quickly moved Chelsea to her back. Although she was very angry, she forced herself to apologize to her.

“Chelsea just said something wrong as she was too nervous. Of course we want Brook to wake up more than anyone. We won’t quarrel anymore. Let’s wait at the side.”

This was a crucial moment that would determine the future of her and Chelsea. How could they be ejected from the hospital? Even if they were humiliated, she had to stay here with her daughter.

Hayden glanced at them coldly. She had no time to ask any more questions and sat down again.

On the other side, the doctors and nurses of the hospital also dispersed the crowds, making the place silent again, only left the pulsating sound of the time remaining for the operation second by second, slowing down the heart rate of people.

“Mum, what’s wrong with you? The bitch just scolded us like that…”

“No matter how much she says, she won’t get a penny more.”

Sofia lowered her voice, displaying a shade of gloom in her eyes, “As long as your father never wakes up, you and I are the legal heirs to the majority of his property. What she can get at most is those houses but not the company.”

“Mum, how can you be so sure that dad won’t wake up, what if he…”

“There is no ‘what if’…”

Sofia’s lips curled up and she smiled coldly, “Even if he has a narrow escape today, he won’t live long.”

Chelsea shivered, feeling that she had gone too far to turn back. She said hesitantly, “He is my father after all. Mum, do you really want to do this?”

“You treat him as your father, but he only cares about his little daughter. I’m doing this now for our future. Don’t worry, Chelsea. Nothing will go wrong, just get through these two days.”

“… I know, mum.”

The surgery went on for more than six hours, and when the operating time on the wall stopped counting, Hayden clenched her fists, not even realizing that her nails were snapping blood out of her flesh.

“Doctor, how is my father doing?”

“The operation went well, and the patient is fine for now, but he has to be transferred to the ICU for further observation.”

Hayden heaved out a sigh of relief as Alayna quickly held her up.

After all the procedures of hospitalization were completed, Sofia and Chelsea stood at the door of the ICU and refused to leave, looking as if they loved Brook very much.

Hayden stood at the entrance of the ICU for a while. From the glass partition door, she could see that Brook had many tubes inserted into his body and she felt heartbreaking. She wiped her tears and went straight to find Brook’s attending doctor.

“Mr. Brook is suffering from severe deterioration of his liver function, which is common for older people. It is because of the unhealthy diet and lifestyle, and this is something I told you last time. This sudden fainting is a warning. Ms. Downey, I can only say frankly that you may need to get mentally prepared.”
