Chapter 107: Dedication or Feelings?

"Mr Stone?"

Silas jolted out of sleep, stretching as he uncurled from the small chair he was sleeping in He lifted his head and saw that the doctor was standing in front of him.

"Hey, Doctor How was it?" Silas asked, standing up

"The surgery was successful, the doctor announced with a smile.

"Oh thank God!" Rosie exclaimed, giving Silas a hug.

Silas still found it weird that when he brought Kim to the hospital, Rosie had been there waiting. He knew they used to be friends, he just didn't know they were still talking.

He had wanted to just drop Kim off and go back to work, but Rosie's words about what the media might say if they found out Kim had almost lost both legs in his house got to him.

"Thank you, Silas," Rosie said, rubbing her hand on his thigh, her eyes gleaming with tears.

Silas didn't know which part she was thanking him for, but he smiled. "You're welcome."
