Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 233

At the hospital.

Kevin was undergoing emergency surgery. The operating theater light remained lit.

Jason rushed to the apartment and sent Lanie and Ranie to school. Luke postponed an important meeting in the morning and went with Bianca to the hospital.

Kevin had lung cancer and not some minor illness.

Families of cancer patients lived in the worry that the patient's condition might suddenly worsen and leave them behind.

Bianca had experienced the pain and agony of waiting in front of the operating theater five years ago. She was not unfamiliar with that sensation.

However, her worries had been alleviated recently, thanks to her being busy at work, and to reconnecting with Lanie and Rainie.

She had a hunch that her father would soon recover.

Every time at the hospital, the doctors and specialists would tell her, "Mr. Rayne's condition is stable. It's a good sign. Don't worry."

She had believed their words…

Just last afternoon, the doctor had said, "Mr. Rayne's condition is improving. His organ functions are returning to normal."

When Bianca heard that, she felt that God had finally taken notice of her…

She did not expect the bad news to come so suddenly.

Time passed.

She did not know how long it had been before the operating theater light was switched off.

Bianca stood up from the bench. Her limbs were numb as she looked at the doctor's tired eyes, waiting for the good news.

Luke had paid for Kevin's stay in the hospital and specialist treatment. Otherwise, the typical family would not have been able to enjoy the care of the VIP hospital ward, let alone afford a specialist.

"Sorry. We've done everything we can." The doctor took off his mask and said apologetically.

Luke heard that and turned around. He saw tears gushing from Bianca's eyes.

"How is that possible? How…" Bianca mumbled as tears streaked down her cheeks.

He had made it through the ordeal five years ago.

Five years later, she was unprepared that he did not.

The doctor nodded apologetically at Bianca and Luke. Then, he walked away. The corridor became silent.

Luke hugged her tightly in case she broke down. She was helpless and inconsolable.

"How could this be? Father… he… he was still fine yesterday…" Nothing could stop Bianca's bitter tears.

In the man's arms, her only release was to hold the man's coat so tightly that the coat was crumpled and her fingers hurt.

Assaulted by a thousand thoughts and emotions, she told herself that she had to accept the fact that her father was gone.

Otherwise, what could she do?

When she was mentally prepared, her father had pulled it through.

However, when she was not prepared, her father had left her abruptly, forever.
