Chapter 737 Family Members Come to Sign the Surgery Consent Form

He said silently, "Don't answer it."

She shook her head.

"Just focus on your surgery," Penelope said. "The doctor is the best cardiologist in LA. This kind of surgery is not difficult for him and won't be risky. Don't scare yourself."

Brent said, "Any surgery has risks; it's not 100% safe."

"It's just a stent."

Brent sighed, "At my age, with all the drinking, socializing, and late nights when I was younger, my body is already in bad shape. I'm afraid the odds are against me."

"You're overthinking it," Penelope replied. "I asked the doctor, and the success rate is very high. It's not a major surgery."

However, the treatment costs were very high.

But money was no issue for her.

On the other end, Debra's voice came through, "But a family member needs to sign the surgery consent form and have a pre-surgery talk. If Penelope doesn't come, how can the doctor proceed with the surgery?"

Debra suggested, "Isn't Nicole also at the hospital? Let her come over and sign the form."

As soon as Penelope heard this, she immediately refused, "No way!"

She didn't want Nicole to see Brent and Debra!

To avoid getting upset again!

"Then you come!" Debra said sarcastically, "I'm not a family member; you and Nicole are. I can't sign it. Otherwise, I would have signed it already and wouldn't have to beg you!"

"Fine," Penelope agreed. "I'll come over. Just wait for the doctor to arrange the surgery."

Brent hurriedly said, "Penelope, since you're coming, why not see me? I have something to say to you."

"You can say it now."

"I want to say it in person," Brent pleaded. "If I don't make it off the operating table,

this might be our last meeting as father and daughter."

He sounded so pitiful that Penelope softened a bit.

It was just a meeting.

"Alright," she agreed. "But don't overthink it. It's really just a routine surgery. As for the medical bills, they've already been settled. You don't need to worry about it."

Brent said, "Alright, enough."
