Chapter 68 Pretend to Be Together

“I’m first and foremost a human being, then a doctor. It’s normal for people to have desires, including me.”

Elspeth’s phone suddenly went off and vibrated violently. The word ‘Lydia’ appeared on her screen. She took a deep breath and caved in. “Okay. I agree to your terms.”

“You’d better not plan to renege on your words after the surgery is completed because her mother would need at least three more months of treatment after the surgery.”

She shot him a cold stare. “Okay, I get it. Go on!”

“Aw, be nice. After all, I’m now considered your boyfriend, so you should be nicer toward me.”

Arthur stretched and rose to his feet. “Alright. I’ll head over and complete the surgery. Be a good girl and wait for me to come out.” He pinched her cheeks and left with a smile.

Almost immediately, Elspeth rubbed her face hard with her hands, feeling utterly disgusted. Since she needed a favor from him, she could not possibly reject his request. She had put in too much effort to rescue Lydia’s mother to lead everything into disappointment in the end.

Subsequently, Elspeth headed over to the operating theater and waited outside. Lydia was sobbing hard, so she reached out to take Lydia into her arms and gingerly comforted her by telling her that everything would be fine.

“My mom wouldn’t bear to leave me, right?”

“She would never do that. She would always be by your side.”

The surgery went on for nearly ten hours. When Arthur finally came out of the operating theater, night had fallen, and the streets were brightly lit.

He was dressed in his white coat, and despite having a face mask, his exhausted face was evident.

“The surgery has ended. It was successful, so there is no need to worry,” he reported the good news to Lydia with a smile.

As soon as Elspeth saw the smile on her face, she immediately felt a huge relief wash over her.

“Elspeth, come with me to the office.” Arthur turned his head and directed a deep look at her.

“Sure.”
