Forbidden Passion

Chapter 405 Lean on My Shoulder for Five Minutes

Taylor's surgery wrapped up at 3 PM. The emergency room doors swung open, and lead surgeon Eugene Baker walked out. Phoebe and the Reynolds family rushed to meet him. Eugene took off his mask, scanning the worried faces before locking eyes with Brandon.

"Mrs. Reynolds' surgery was a success. We stopped the bleeding, but the injury was severe. Her heart stopped briefly, but we revived her. She'll need a few days in the ICU. If she wakes up, she should be okay," Eugene said. Brandon, looking tense, asked, "When will she wake up?"

Eugene replied, "That depends on her willpower. Her desire to live is very low, which is why resuscitation took so long. Be prepared for the worst."

Theodore lost it and grabbed Eugene by the collar. "What do you mean?"

Despite being choked, Eugene stayed calm. He waved off his assistant and said to Theodore, "Calm down."

Phoebe stepped in and grabbed Theodore's wrist. "Theodore, don't. Taylor will be fine. Let go of Mr. Baker."

Theodore realized he was out of line and let go, turning away.

Eugene gave a few more instructions before leaving with his team.

Theodore shook off Phoebe's hand and sat on a bench, refusing to leave until Taylor came out.

Phoebe's wrist was numb from Theodore's grip. She looked at Brandon, whose clothes were stained with dried blood. "Dad, Theodore, and I will stay. You and Grandma should go home. I'll call if there's any news." Brandon shook his head. "No, I'll stay."

Theodore sneered. "If my mom sees you, she'll need resuscitation again."
