Peter walked back and forth, having signed all the paperwork and arranged for a trusted doctor to attend to Celeste. It was past 11:00 pm when a nurse informed him that the surgery had started, and they would notify him as soon as there was any news.

After nearly & hours, Dr. Mandel, a doctor Peter knew personally, came out and approached him, “Peter”

“Dr. Mandel, how is my… wife?”

“Peter, everything went very well. Now comes the recovery. Fortunately, we treated the injury in time. Although the fracture looked severe, she’s been very strong and brave. Now that I think about it, I can see why she’s your partner, you’re just as strong.”

Dr. Mandel had been the doctor who treated Peter 20 years ago when everyone thought he was dead. Back then, the young doctor had just graduated as an orthopedic specialist. The more experienced doctors envied him because he absorbed knowledge like a sponge.

“What time will she be taken to her room?”

“In about half an hour, she’ll be moved to her room. After surgery, she’ll need special care at home. I heard from the nurses that she has no family. Her case reminds me so much of yours. Take care of her!”

Mandel, I assure you that I will do everything I can to help her recover. She will be with me at home, and I promise she won’t lack anything. We will follow your instructions to the letter.”

“I’m glad to see you’re finally moving forward with your life, Mr. Palmer. The years you spent in the hospital were tormenting, but seeing you now, it truly gives me satisfaction. Your girlfriend is a strong woman. The femur fracture will take at least six months to heal, and the other leg, I can perform a small surgery to prevent the right femur from breaking. She must be patient, her recovery will be slow, but sooner than you think, she’ll walk like nothing ever happened.”

“Did you say six months?”

“Yes, unfortunately. Besides being an exposed fracture, the bone broke into three parts. I managed to reconstruct everything so it wouldn’t be shorter, but for the bone to heal, it will take time. Then, with physical therapy and lots of patience, she will return to normal. Your wife was very lucky. The structure that fell on her could have killed her. Honestly, we see accidents like this every day at the hospital–one mistake and a life is lost over something so trivial.”

“I’m going to investigate how this incident happened. Just imagining the pain Celeste went through makes my blood boil. I don’t even want to think what would have happened if that had fallen on my grandson”

“You should be thankful that, although your wife is temporarily incapacitated, she’s alive. Well, Mr. Palmer, I must leave now. Your wife should be in her room by now, it would be a good idea for you to see her. She will need all the help she can get to heal. I’ll come to see her during the day.”

“Let me know if it’s difficult for you to come here. If possible, I could have her transferred to the hospital where you work

“Currently, I work at Gemellia Hospital. If you could manage the transfer, it would be much better for me. That way, I can attend to any emergency firsthand.”

soon as morning comes, I’ll handle the transfer and we’ll meet at your hospital. Theodore will contact you to arrange for the payment
