The sky had already darkened when Allison said, "It's pointless for you to wait here. Nora is still injured. It would be better if you went back with her. Once your grandpa comes out of the surgery room, Johanne can call you." "No." Lenora immediately refused, holding onto Allison's arm. "Grandma, I'm not going back. I want to stay here and wait with you."

Regardless of whether Gerald had encountered any trouble, she was determined to be the first one to see him.

"Grandma, we will wait here with you," Zachary also said.

Seeing their insistence, Allison didn't say anything further.

Two hours had passed, and finally, the red light at the entrance of the operating room turned green.

Lenora, Zachary, along with Johanne and Allison, stood up simultaneously, waiting by the operating room door for the doctor to come out.

The door to the operating room was opened.

"Dr. Landon, how is my grandpa's condition?" Zachary immediately asked.

At that very moment, his voice was hoarse, carrying with it a hint of an almost imperceptible tremble. With reddened eyes, Lenora stared intently at George, her hands clasped together at her chest. George removed his mask. "The surgery was successful. We will keep him in the intensive care unit for observation for two days. If everything goes well, we'll then move him to a regular ward."

A smile finally graced Lenora's face, and in the blink of an eye, tears fell. She could feel her heart settling at

ease.

"All right. Thank you, Dr. Landon."

Following this, Gerald was wheeled away on his sickbed to the intensive care unit.

Lenora looked at Gerald, his eyes tightly shut, appearing lifeless and desolate, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Just a few days ago, Gerald was still playing chess with her, his smile vibrant and full of life. Yet, in just a few short days, he had changed so drastically.

Lenora and the others accompanied them to the critical care ward.

The doctor cautioned, "The patient needs rest now. Please, family members, be patient and refrain from making loud noises."

"Okay. Thank you, doctor," Allison said.
