One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 391

Chapter 391 How Dare You Come Back, Huh?

Alexander would spend at least a month or two in France this time before coming back, so he wanted to take another look at his daughter, who had just undergone surgery, before leaving.

All the doctors and nurses in the inpatient department knew Alexander. Upon seeing him, the nurse on duty immediately asked, “Are you here to visit Tina, President Duncan?”

“Uh-huh.”

“She’s been sleeping all this while.”

Alexander hesitated for a moment while looking in the ward’s direction. “Is anyone there with her?”

The nurse replied, “A nurse’s staying in the ward with her, but I didn’t see anyone from your family all afternoon after the surgery. Tina was transferred to the general ward when her condition stabilized. We called Miss Hunter at the time, but we couldn’t get through to her. Perhaps she was busy.”

Alexander furrowed his brow in confusion. “You mean no one came in the afternoon?”

The nurse staying in Tina’s ward thoughtfully left upon seeing Alexander. The ward was somewhat dark after the door was closed. Walking over to the side of the bed, Alexander sat down in the chair and studied his daughter’s face.

Tina had a fair complexion, and her eyes and brows resembled Courtney’s very much, whereas her nose and mouth resembled his own. Back when he met the lost and running little girl for the first time at the airport, something about her had struck him as familiar, and he even gave her a box of chocolate because of this. However, he would never have thought at the time that the little girl was his own flesh and blood.

 

Alexander felt very sorry for Tina when he recalled Courtney telling him that the girl had suffered a lot over the years because of a congenital defect. She’s only a child, yet she had grown used to going in and out of hospitals since she was little. Even so, she’s still so cheerful and vivacious, and she seems in much better shape than Jordan, who grew up being surrounded and taken care of by so many people at home.
