No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 766

Yates couldn't help but be charmed, even though he was usually as straight-laced as they come. Fanny watched his cheeks flush and couldn't help but giggle.

She took Yates to Judie's mom's hospital room. After reviewing the scans and medical history, Yates said, "Given the overall condition of the patient, I wouldn't recommend another surgery. It's not just her heart that's an issue now; there's also a risk of a stroke." Fanny, being a doctor herself, knew that a physician wouldn't dash hopes without reason. If Yates said so, it meant further diagnosis was futile. She nodded, "I'll talk to Felicia about it. Whether they want to cling to that slim hope is up to her family. So, if they really insist on the surgery, can you help?"

Yates looked torn. He was genuinely busy. Fanny understood. She didn't press for an answer, simply saying, "I'll communicate with Felicia first."

"Alright, if there's a real need, let me know. I'll have my assistant schedule some time," Yates finally agreed.

Fanny didn't look thrilled, though. Despite Yates having been by her side since his return, she could sense how busy he was. This forced companionship, even if it meant clashing with his mentor, didn't sit well with her. But she was a doctor too, busy in her own right, yet she managed to find time for herself. She couldn't understand why Yates was so overwhelmingly busy.
