After a long while, Andrew slowly said, “Hi, guys.”
Rhett patted his shoulder without saying anything, knowing that he was
worried about Grace.
Colin, who was always naughty, watched the door of the operating room nervously. Time seemed to slow down although the clock kept ticking.
Finally, eight hours had passed.
Grace emerged from the room, looking exhausted.
After reassuring Colin, who was sleeping, Rhett moved forward to hold. Grace.
Despite the redness in his eyes, Andrew asked, “Ms. Parrish, how is it?”
Grace pinched her eyebrows and nodded. “The operation was successful. Grace will probably wake up this week. She will need to remain hospitalized for monitoring potential rejection responses.
Andrew finally felt relieved, his face almost breaking into a smile but not quite managing it.
Rhett kneaded her palm distressedly. “I’ll take you to rest.”
Grace shook her head, changed her clothes, and took Colin to the lounge for a nap. Rhett stayed with them, waiting for them to wake up.
This night was destined to be restless.
Worried about Grace, Grace went to Grace’s ward after a few hours‘ sleep.
Grace’s face was not as pale as before, according to the doctor on duty.
“Ms. Hewson’s recovery is going very well. It’s as if this heart has been waiting for her.” Grace and Andrew nearby exchanged a glance and became heavy–hearted.
She checked Grace’s condition. She couldn’t be at ease until she made
sure Grace was doing fine.
As Andrew watched Grace do the examination, he became nervous
instantly when she sighed.
“Ms. Parrish, is Grace’s body…”
Grace interrupted him frustratedly, “You should go get some rest. If you fall ill, Grace will feel guilty when she wakes up. Besides, only you can tell her about what happened to Kash.”
Andrew shook his head frustratedly, looking at Grace with heartache. Before he went to rest, he said, “If Grace wakes up, please tell me.”
Grace nodded and urged him to rest.
Grace and Andrew spent nearly all of their time in Grace’s ward this week. However, Grace hadn’t woken up after a week. Andrew and Grace.
were anxious.
Rhett touched his nose, not expecting she would notice it. He felt a bit guilty. “I just don’t like that person!”
Colin had the same attitude as Rhett. “You helped Mom vent her anger.”
Grace felt warm, smiling, “Okay, let’s go home!
“We will stay in Drelar City for a month before we fly back home. Otherwise, Grace will pester us again.”
Rhett stared at Colin with deep eyes and said with a smile, “Grace seems upset. Doesn’t she always like Colin? We can have Colin stay with her for a month or two while we go traveling to relax.”
Colin agreed immediately. “Great! I like Grace. I want to keep her company.”
When Grace thought of Grace’s beloved Kash, she subconsciously agreed.
The father and son clapped their hands quietly as if their plan had succeeded.
Later. Grace realized their plan, and she was about to beat them up.
Rhett took Colin and ran away.
Colin smiled, “Dad, run!”
They walk in the afterglow of the setting sun, their shadows entwined. The three of them were heading toward a happy future.
