Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251 Give Him a Hug 

The night before Greta’s surgery, Emelie thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but to her surprise, as if in the blink of an eye, it was already 7:00 am the next morning 

Greta’s surgery was scheduled for 8:00 am. Emelie packed up the foldable bed, went to the hospital restroom to freshen up, and returned to the Ou 

Shortly after, Eliana and Billy arrived as well. 

At exactly 8:00am, the medical staff wheeled Greta toward the operating room, and the red “in surgery” light lit up 

From that moment on, Emelie’s heart was hanging in suspense. She feared for the surgery’s success, dreaded any mishap, and worried that signing the consent might somehow harm Greta, even though she knew Greta’s condition demanded immediate action. 

Eliana was visibly nervous and started crying. Billy comforted her, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Those foreign doctors are absolutely capable, Right, Emelie?” 

Emelie wanted to believe that William had spared no expense bringing in this team, but she also knew there was a 10% risk of infection. She feared falling into that 10% Midway through, Emelie received a message from William. “Has the surgery started? 

She replied with a simple “Yes,” then felt a pang of detachment She added, “I’m a bit nervous. I’ll message you again after it’s done, when I’ve steadied myself.” 

Since William didn’t reply, Emelie decided not to push further and locked her phone. She asked the doctor how much longer the surgery would last. They had initially said four to five hours, but by the sixth hour, there was still no sign of the operating room doors opening 

Eliana murmamed, “Why is it taking so long?” 

“There could be other patients ahead I remember when I had my appendix surgery, there were several patients waiting,” Billy reassured her. 

“But these foreign doctors are only here for mom’s surgery, right? Elama asked. 

“Maybe they’re waiting for the anesthesia to wear of 

They had no way of knowing what was happening inside the operating room, and Emelle’s anxiety grew with each passing hour. By the seventh hour, Emelie couldn’t wait any Jonger. 

She approached the nurse’s station and asked, “Excuse me, I’d like to know why the surgery for the patient in Critical Care Unit Bed 1 isn’t finished yet.” 

The nurse shook her head, “I’m sorry, we don’t have information on what’s happening inside the operating room. There may have been unforeseen circumstances. Please wait a bit longer. If there’s anything, the doctors will come out and inform you.“‘ 

Emelie instinctively asked, “What kind of unforeseen circumstances? 

“We don’t know.” 

Emelie frowned, pondered for a moment, and sent a WhatsApp message to William, “The doctor said the surgery should only take four to five hours, but it’s been over seven hours now and there’s been no update. Do you have any way to find our what’s going on?” 

William glanced at the message, remembering how she hadn’t inquired about anything yesterday. He interpreted her silence as indifference or perhaps lack of concern, and his expression grew cold, te flipped his phone over and chose not to respond. 

Emelie had been considering calling William, but hesitated knowing he was at work. It the call upset him, it could lead to further complications. She reluctantly suppressed the urge and continued to anxiously wait 

Time passed slowly. As they approached the eighth hour mark, typically enough time for two surgeries to be completed, the operating room remained silent. 

Emelie was overwhelmed with unease. Just as she was about to master the courage to call William, the lights in the operating room finally went out. As the light extinguished, Emelie held her breath, inexplicably thinking of the phrase “lights out life out 

She swallowed hard, staring intently at the door. 

Ten minutes later, the aluminum door swung open again. A well–built Lablostan woman in her titties emerged, 

She glanced at them and asked in Asteshest, “Are you her family member?” 

Emelie promptly replied, “Yes, we are.”
