Due to the severity of Emely’s condition, the surgery took a total of three hours to perform.
After the surgery, Emely was wheeled out and transferred to the intensive care unit.
“Ms. Hernandez, how is my daughter?” Jake asked worriedly.
“Her life is no longer in danger.” Audrey replied.
Audrey guessed that Emely’s current state was most likely orchestrated by Dylan. She had to admit that it was cruel and heavy–handed, especially for a woman to have her appearance ruined like that.
Still, Audrey felt no pity for Emely.
Upon hearing that his daughter would live, Jake wept with joy and relief.
Just then, a voice could be heard from the VIP suite. The door to the suite was then. pushed open.
It was none other than Sarah.
“Jake, how is Emely? I rushed over as soon as I heard.” Sarah said worriedly with a soft voice. Her eyes were also tinged red.
The moment Sarah entered the ICU, her eyes landed on Emely on the hospital bed. She was wrapped tightly from head to toe in white gauze. It looked like there was no part of her left unscathed.
Especially with one leg missing, Sarah was shocked at the state Emely was in.
She didn’t expect that the price to pay for offending Audrey was so terribly high. She bit

“That’s good, that’s really good… Who would have thought something like happen to Emely?” Sarah replied in a heartbroken manner while looking at Emely with red eyes.
Sarah’s gaze then turned to Aaron, and she said to him gently, “Aaron, Emely is in your care now, please take good care of her and make sure she recovers.”
She looked like she was on the verge of tears as she said that.
Aaron glanced at Sarah indifferently, but didn’t respond.
He was fully aware of all the heinous things the Hernandez family did to his mentor, so he thought the worst of Sarah and didn’t expect her to be any sort of a good person.
Sarah was embarrassed that Aaron had ignored her, and a shadow came over her eyes.
“I’m leaving.” Audrey said flatly. She wasn’t interested in watching Sarah put on a show.
The moment Sarah heard Audrey’s voice, she froze. She hadn’t realized that there was another person in the hospital room.
Audrey’s figure was blocked completely by Aaron so Sarah couldn’t see her, but she recognized Audrey’s voice and finally noticed that she was standing behind him.
Sarah’s face changed completely then artd she shouted angrily at Audrey, “What are you doing here? Are you plotting something against Emely? You can forget about hurting. her now that I’m here, I won’t let you have your way!”
After that, she looked over at Jake and said to him anxiously, “Jake, I didn’t expect that Audrey would be like this. She and Emely had some problems with each other, but I didn’t think she would actually hurt Emely so badly.”
Although, Jake knew in his heart that this was the punishment that Emely deserved, even if it was a tad brutal.
Sarah’s eyes were red and teary. Her face displayed anguish and heartache even though the words she just said were provocative and intended to drive a wedge between Audrey and the Roscentes.
