Chapter 258 In a hospital…

Sandra was reclining on the examination table, her body connected to a series of high-tech apparatuses that fed real-time data straight into the nearby computer system.

The doctor, with a concentrated gaze, scrutinized the digital readouts before finally raising his eyes to meet Elijah’s.

“Ms.

Sandra is progressing quite well in her recovery.

Her heart is functioning exceptionally well—there are no significant concerns to report.

Keep in mind, though, since the heart is a transplant, it may not function as fluidly as her original one did.

A bit of discomfort here and there is to be expected, but it’s nothing alarming.”

Elijah responded with a firm nod, his voice steady, “Understood.

Please continue with the same supplements as before.

They seem to be effective.”

Sandra offered a frail smile, the kind that hinted at more resilience than her tone let on, as she slowly sat up from the machinery.

“As long as my heart is functioning, I can handle a little discomfort.”

Oliver, who had been quietly observing, furrowed his brow at her words.

They struck him as oddly detached, almost as if Sandra viewed herself merely as a container for the new heart, rather than as its beneficiary.

The true essence of the heart transplant was, after all, to enhance her quality of life—wasn’t it?

His thoughts whirled with confusion over her cryptic sentiment.

Elijah crossed the room to Sandra’s side, his actions tender.

He tousled her hair affectionately and draped a coat over her shoulders, his voice warm and reassuring.

“Don’t dwell on these thoughts too much.

Whatever it takes, I’m here to ensure you have a healthy, joyful life.”

In that moment, Oliver’s phone vibrated urgently.

He cast a glance at Elijah, hesitated for a moment, then excused himself to step into the corridor for more privacy.
