Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 661: Success

Tina had ceased to engage further, and after performing a series of checks on Natalie, she accompanied her into the operating room. Inside, Natalie was connected to numerous monitoring devices, all of which showed normal readings at the moment.

Natalie lay on the operating table, looking at her daughter in front of her, "Tina, it's all up to you now."

With the arrow poised on the string, Tina was not one to shy away. Having come this far and ready to start the surgery, all hesitations and concerns had vanished. What remained was Tina's resolute determination to restore Natalie's health. She hugged her mother, whispering into her ear as gently as when she was a child and Natalie would soothe her to sleep.

"Mom, have a good sleep, and when you wake up, we'll go have hotpot."

The operating room lights were bright. Outside, Wraith was monitoring Natalie's condition with precision. Jared sat outside, composed, seated in a chair. Yet only he knew the extent of his unease-unease for his master's condition and for the pressure on Tina.

Outside the YQ lab, Angela remained vigilant at the door, sitting on her motorcycle, holding ingredients for Natalie's favorite hotpot. A breeze blew, partially obscuring her face.

At the Brookes family home, Brandon was in the yard stacking blocks with Kiki and Mimi, building them up and knocking them down, again and again. Inside the study, Ian repeatedly flipped through an album of Natalie's photos from before she turned ten. The thick album was about twenty centimeters deep, but many pages were empty, marking the over thirty years Natalie had been away from the Brookes family. It wasn't until her return that more recent photos began to fill the later pages.

Ian looked at each photo, turning them one by one, praying repeatedly in his heart.

A day and night passed. Jared's back was alternately soaked with sweat and then dried, and Angela's hotpot ingredients became inedible. Brandon's blocks were worn shiny, and Ian still clutched the album, unable to sleep.

In the operating room, Tina stitched the final suture and wiped the blood from Natalie's face. She pressed the button to signal the end of the surgery, and Wraith was the first to enter.

"How did it go? All vital signs are normal, except for a slight tearing reaction when the ST-1 was introduced, everything went well, didn't it? Was it a success?" Tina didn't respond but pushed Natalie out of the room.
