Chapter 623

The light outside the operating room finally went out after three hours. The doctor was the first to come out. Then, it was Rayna, who was wheeled out by the nurse.

Curtis quickly stepped forward, and before the doctor could say anything, he entered the ward with the nurse.

At that, Theodore took in a deep breath before turning to the doctor.

The doctor was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Theodore looking at him, he pulled down his mask and said, “The surgery was a success, but we couldn't clear all the blood clots resulting from Mrs. Faymon's head trauma. As it's pressing on the blood vessels in the brain, we recommend that you wait for some of the blood clots to go away before undergoing the second surgery to remove them completely.”

“Blood clot?” Kristie frowned when she heard his words, having been reminded of the dramatic plots of television shows. “Will it affect her vision, or will she develop any long-term health effects from this?”

“We can't rule out the possibility of something like that happening,” the doctor confessed.

At that, the four people around him inhaled sharply.

In other words, there was a chance that Rayna might go blind and have other complications.

Theodore nodded at the doctor in acknowledgment. Only when the doctor left did the four people walk toward the ward.

Curtis, who was already in the ward, was sitting by Rayna's bedside in a medical protective suit.

Outside the ward, Robin was holding onto his phone, seemingly anxious.

When Jasmine noticed his anxiety, she asked, “Mr. Yeast, is something the matter?”


“It's a call from the Faymon residence. Shelton the butler called to say that the children had been crying at home for a long time and were inconsolable,” Robin said, revealing what Shelton had said to him to the four people outside the ward.

“Kristie, I'll go to the Faymon residence with you to check up on the kids first. The two of you stay here and keep Curtis company,” Jasmine said to Theodore. The men nodded in agreement.

Not long after Jasmine and Kristie left, Jeremy came. When he saw Theodore and James, he asked, “Theodore, how is Curtis?”

Thinking that Jeremy mistook Curtis as the one in the accident, he explained, “It was Rayna who was in the accident.”

“I know it was Rayna, but Curtis...” Jeremy realized he should not say what he was about to utter out loud, so he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. “How is Rayna?”

“She just came out of surgery, and she's not in any danger,” was the only thing Theodore said to him. He did not tell Jeremy about the possible complications that could arise, for he felt that it would be better to tell Curtis about it before telling Jeremy the chatterbox about it.

James could somewhat grasp what was going on when he did not hear Theodore telling Jeremy all the details of the situation, so he said nothing as well.

Irina Eastbridge, who had just returned from the banquet, bumped into Jovan Eastbridge in a set of pajamas. When she saw him, she asked, “Jovan, why didn't you go to the banquet today? Sheena was waiting for you.”

However, Jovan only gave Irina a glance in silence before walking past her to head upstairs.

Livid, Irina stomped her foot and hissed, “You'll regret this one day, Jovan!”

Hearing that, Jovan froze in his tracks before his bedroom door for a second before turning around to look at Irina. After a moment of frowning, he opened the door and went in.

Meanwhile, when Jasmine and Kristie reached the Faymon residence, the three children were still wailing. No matter how much the nanny tried to console them, the tears continued to roll down their cheeks.

The second the two stepped into the house, they noticed the stain on the nanny's clothes, and they stiffened. “They're vomiting back out the milk—they vomited everything they had,” the nanny, who was carrying Xareni, explained helplessly.

At that, Jasmine reached out to take Xareni from the nanny. “Good girl, Reni. Don't cry.”

On the other hand, Kristie started playing with Yelena. “Mr. Yosef and Ms. Yelena are faring better,” the nanny then said to Jasmine and Kristie.

“They must have some sort of telepathic connection with their mother. I think they sensed that something happened to Rayna.” Jasmine continued to console Xareni. After a long while, Xareni's crying finally tapered off. She then looked at Jasmine with her teary eyes, but after a few seconds of staring, she seemed to realize that Jasmine was not one of her parents. Hence, the girl started crying again.

The moment Xareni started crying, Yosef and Yelena, who had already calmed down, began crying with her again.

In no time, the crying noises from the children filled the air in the Faymon residence.

“Curtis, I brought some food over. Eat something first so that you won't starve yourself.” Back in the hospital, Jeremy, who had changed into a medical protective suit, placed a hand on Curtis' shoulder. “Rayna's going to be heartbroken if she finds out that you weren't drinking or eating just to stay by her side. Even if you don't care about yourself, think about the kids.”

Curtis only reacted when Jeremy mentioned the children. He turned to look at Jeremy before looking outside. However, the only person out there was Theodore. “Where's Jasmine and Kristie?”
