At twelve o'clock in the night, the red light of the operating room turned off.
Everyone stood up eagerly. They had been waiting for the result for several hours now.
Sam had survived
However, he had to be in a wheelchair from now on.
It wasn't a blessing by any means but at least it was better than losing his life.
Sam was sent to the ICU. With a pale face, Julie soon trudged weakly out of the operating room.
"Mrs. Ye, are you okay?" Jessica immediately went to hold Julie. "Thank you so much for your help."
Julie shook her head and said, "You're welcome. As long as Mr. Shi marries my daughter, it will all be worth it. I hope he fulfils his promise."
Everyone's eyes fell on John. They knew that he was a man of his word.
But people who knew him well knew that he had broken many of his rules for Nina. When it came to her, there was no telling whether he would go back on his word or not.
Even if John broke his promise, no one in Lexingport City would dare challenge him.
"Don't let Dad know about it. I don't want him to feel any burden," John said calmly, his voice sounding heavy.
He was so lost in his own thoughts that he wasn't even sure if his sentences were coming out of his mouth.
He couldn't let his dad have any mental strain because of this. John could carry the burden so it was best that Sam didn't know.
Upon hearing that, Julie was ecstatic.
"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about it." Julie rushed back to the Ye family now that she had completed her mission.
Looking at his brother's sullen expression, Daniel heaved a long sigh and patted him on the shoulder.
Most of the time, he not only admired his brother, but also felt sorry for him. John had suffered immense pressure since he was a boy.
"What about Nina?" Angela asked worriedly. "Are you going to divorce her?"
Divorce?
John wouldn't even think of such a thing.
But he had no choice but to divorce her for Sam's sake.
He knew this marriage was about to end and it felt like his life was being sucked out of him.
"Yes." With great difficulty, John spat out a solitary word. The faint sound was so difficult to muster that he felt like it took an age to come out of his mouth.
His eyes turned red. He knew that he was going to lose the woman he loved most.
Chester hated seeing his uncle so sad so he wrapped his uncle's trembling palm with his hands, trying to comfort him
Chester didn't say anything. His two hands just felt like a padded jacket wrapped around John's hands.
"Chester, I'm fine." John raised his hand and touched the child's head. Nina often ruffled Chester's hair lovingly.
"Uncle John..." Dora didn't know what to say. Her eyes were swollen from crying and they were still filled with tears.
Girls really are made of water.
If Nina found out that they were getting a divorce, would she also cry so helplessly?
'What should I do?
Little girl, what should I do?'
John had asked himself countless questions. He really didn't know how he was going to tell her.
He would do anything for Nina. He would much rather suffer if it meant that she'd be happy.
His little girl was obsessed with his abs and gave him the gentlest kisses.
