Emelie calmly responded, “Mr. Middleton, my mom’s surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning,” “Sol Don’t you have to sleep tonight?” William picked up the ladle and filled a bowl with stew. 

“Tean sleep at the hospital,” Emelie replied softly as her eyes fell on the bowl of stew. 

“I’m worried about my mom, and I just want to stay close to her. The doctor says that she has to hold on until tomorrow morning for the surgery. I’m afraid she won’t make it till then, so I don’t want to leave her side.” 

william looked at her eyelashes that hid the underlying emotions in her eyes. 

He said, “Holding on until the surgery is just the first step. Surviving the surgery is the first challenge” 

“1 understand. I heard that many patients encounter complications within the first 24 hours post–surgery. The 10% mortality rate mainly occurs during this critical period. 

“We have to get through these 24 hours for her vital signs to officiallystabilize, Emelle said with worry 

William quirked an eyebrow. “That’s right. Now, you need to take care of yourself too. There are still many tough battles ahead.” 

As he spoke, he placed the stew in front of Emelie

Emelle looked up, taken aback 

It was care for William to serve anyone. 

As be filled the second bowl of stew, Emelie mumbled, “There’s nothing much can do for her besides staying by her side.” 

William’s voice was cold and detached. “I get it. I get that you don’t want to go back to Eastbay with me tonight.”
