Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 483 I Also Hope You Can Always Stay with Me

After Shelley hung up the phone, she saw Philip emerging from the doctor's office.

The doctor was an internationally renowned expert that Shelley had managed to invite using the Harper Family's connections. The doctor had been up all night with them, no one had slept yet. Shelley had already heard from the doctor that Joanna's surgery needed to be done as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he was the one performing the surgery. If it were anyone else, the success rate would not exceed thirty percent. However, with him, the success rate could be increased to seventy percent. But when Joanna heard that the probability was not one hundred percent, she became scared.

"Philip," Shelley hurried to greet him, intending to embrace him.

But Philip stepped aside and rubbed his brow. "I'm sorry, Shelley, I'm not in a good mood. Can you wait outside for a while? I'll go in and talk to her. She probably doesn't want to see strangers." Shelley nodded and saw his washed-out jeans, feeling a wave of sympathy. "Okay, then I'll sit here."

She sat on a chair in the hallway, watching Philip enter Joanna's room not far away.

Joanna was seated on the hospital bed. After seeing him come in, her eyes immediately reddened. "Philip," she called out, feeling dizzy.

Philip approached and poured her a glass of warm water. "This doctor is an internationally renowned expert. The success rate of the surgery is high, Joanna. Don't be scared."

Joanna grabbed his sleeve, looking somewhat scared. "I'm just afraid of dying. I want to be with you forever."

Philip placed the glass of water in front of her and took one of her hands. "The doctor told me that it will be okay. If we keep delaying, he won't be able to do anything later. Joanna, I also hope you can always stay by my side." Joanna lowered her lashes; she held the glass of water and asked, "Who was the woman who came with you today?"
