Chapter 679 Best Supporting Actress

Evelina asked, "How long do we have to wait?"

As time dragged on, an unsettling feeling grew deeper in her gut.

She was eager to get the surgery done as soon as possible.

Jenny said, "If we follow the usual timeline, we might have to wait until the end of the year. But Winona mentioned that our CEO seems to be good friends with this doctor. They met when he was studying in Wiltonshire. Maybe we can use his connection to get the doctor to come sooner."

Evelina's eyes brightened. "Really? That would be wonderful."

After all, she and Jasper had been together. He would likely be willing to help if she reached out, wouldn't he?

Jenny nodded. "Weren't you two together before? You were once lovers, so there's bound to be some lingering affection. Why not give him a call and see how he feels about it? If he's unwilling to help, then Winona's efforts might be in vain." That made sense.

Evelina had the same idea as Jenny.

Without hesitation, she took her phone from under her pillow, found Jasper's number, and dialed it.
