Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1879

Three hours later, Johann and another doctor walked out of the operating room.

The nurse beside them called out, “Is Tyrone’s family here?”

Keith and Larry helped Aunt Jenny up. They brought her to the door of the operating room. Nina stood up too when she heard it, and she came forward.

Johann glanced at Percy and Nina. He slightly nodded his head to greet them.

Nina looked at Johann’s expression, unable to figure out whether or not the surgery had succeeded. She was so nervous that she squeezed Percy’s hand.

“Tyrone’s surgery was a success. We successfully extracted the glass shards out of his brain while removing the blood clots. But the patient’s wounds are complicated. We still need to transfer him to the ICU for another 24 hours of observation. We’ll only transfer him to the general ward if there’s nothing wrong with him,” said Johann. There was no expression on his face when he said that.

After becoming a doctor for such a long time, Johann’s face was expressionless even if the surgery was a success.

“Really? Doc, can I go in there and take a look at my son?” Aunt Jenny was still worried.

Johann shook his head. "It's not the ICU’s visiting hours now. You'll have to wait until the working hours tomorrow. Only then will the ICU will allow family members to visit the patient. And be sure not to leave first. It'd be better to have one of the family members here. We'll need someone to decide for the patient if anything happens."

“Alright, alright. I’m staying here.” Aunt Jenny took the initiative to stay as she was worried about her son’s condition.

Johann shot Percy a glance after he said what he had to, then left.

The nurse cleared her throat and said, “Excuse me, the amount of money in the patient’s bank account that was provided earlier doesn’t seem to contain enough money. It’d be better if his family members could deposit some money into the account.”

"Leave it to me," said Nina. She knew that no matter who paid for the medical bills first, she would be the one who would pay for them eventually. That was why she took the initiative to say that.

"Just bring your card there." After that, the nurse showed the glass shards that were removed from Tyrone's brain. They were bright green-colored glass shards. Nina fell silent when she saw that.

“These are the glass shards that were removed from the patient’s brain. Please take a look at them,” said the nurse.

Aunt Jenny suddenly burst into tears when she saw blood on the glass shards. “Oh my goodness. It must’ve been so painful to have such sharp glass shards pierced into his brain.”

Keith turned around and glanced at Nina. He gave up the thought of hitting on her once he knew she had such a rich boyfriend. Hence, he viciously handed Tyrone’s card to Nina and said, “Here you go.”

Nina wanted to take it from him, but Percy grabbed her hand and glanced at his assistant beside him. “Do it.”

The assistant nodded and took the card from Keith. Then, he headed to the payment counter.

Nina lifted her head, looked at Percy, and said, "I'd like to visit my brother."

“Sure.” Percy nodded and left the operating room together with Nina.

The Hugh brothers did not put Nina on the spot as someone else would be responsible for this matter.

Nina was informed by the nurse that Jean had already been sent to the ward. Nina and Percy headed upstairs after knowing which ward he was in.

Jean was sent to a ward that could accommodate six patients as there was no special request for other arrangements. The patients were already resting on their beds when Percy pushed the door open.

Nina realized that she might disturb the other patients if she came to look for Jean like this. They would certainly fight with each other every time they met.

Hence, Nina grabbed Percy’s hand and shook her head.

Percy exited the ward, closed the door, and looked at her.

Nina said in a low voice, “I’ll come again tomorrow.”

"Alright." Percy nodded and left the ward with Nina.

Nina sat in Percy’s car, looking outside the window. The trees and plants had turned yellow, and leaves had fallen from the trees. She was able to see a layer of frost on the tree branches if she took a closer look.
