The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 1178

When Vivienne showed up at the crucial moment, it made Faye feel a lot better. After hanging up the phone, Faye didn’t look at Mrs. Johnson’s face anymore. Instead, she quietly sat on a bench in the corridor.

At first, Mrs. Johnson kept cursing, spitting out every imaginable insult. But Faye ignored her barrage of abuses, and gradually, Mrs. Johnson quieted down.

Faye had been vigilant by the door, staying put even after her shift was over.

Finally, in the evening, Logan walked out of the operating room. The first thing he did wasn’t to talk to Faye or anyone else but to walk to the end of the corridor with his phone.

“Yeah, make it quick, and don’t leave them any advantage. Better get it done in the next few days.”

Faye followed and heard just that. She didn’t know what Logan was planning; she just wanted to thank him in person.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Logan finished his call and turned to see Faye, visibly relaxing.

“Thanks for today. I don’t know what I would have done without you,” Faye said, still feeling a headache coming on when she recalled the day’s events.

“First time dealing with a hospital hassle?” Logan ventured.

Faye shook her head. “I’ve had some before, but none as serious as today.”

She always held herself to high standards, ensuring meticulous care on her watch, which is why such disruptions were rare.

Today’s ordeal had left a shadow on Faye, Mrs. Johnson’s force was formidable, almost devouring her with hatred.

“The surgery was successful, don’t worry. His son will wake up once the anesthesia wears off.” Logan then took off his mask. “Have you eaten yet?”

Just as Faye was about to say she had, her stomach growled, sending an awkward blush across her face.

“How about we grab some food? I’m hungry too,” Logan suggested, then remembered he was still in his scrubs. “Wait here for me, will you? I’ll just change.”

Faye watched Logan walk away, her thoughts interrupted by a sudden voice.

“Looks like you and Dr. Logan really do know each other, huh?”

Faye turned to see Dr. Abernathy smirking at her. “I didn’t believe it at first, but it turns out to be true.”

“What do you want?” Faye’s expression immediately turned cold, her patience wearing thin.

Dr. Abernathy clicked his tongue in disapproval. “I just made a few comments, and you’re already this upset? Are you treating Dr. Logan differently because you feel something for him? Don’t forget that Logan has someone he can’t forget. You wouldn’t want to be just a stand-in, would you?”
