Chapter 347

Ronin's face was grim and tired. He furrowed his brow, glanced at Ophelia, and quickly looked away

"Did something happen to Kenneth?" Ivy's eyes widened in alarm. If not for the guild members holding her back, she would have rushed to Ronin.

Ronin's gaze landed on Ophelia again. Seeing his expression, Ophelia panicked, yet her face remained calm.

"Is Kenneth..." Her voice was a bit hoarse, but her tone was very even.

Only those closest to her, like Melanie, could hear the uncontrollable tremble in her voice.

"No, no. Kenneth's surgery went relatively smoothly. It's just that" Ronin pressed his chapped lips together.

He continued, "It's just that during the removal of the cranial toxins, there was an accident. There's temporarily liquid pressing on his nerves, which might... affect when he wakes up."

It might affect when Kenneth woke up. Ophelia had seen the risks of this surgery when she signed the consent form.

She reviewed countless risk scenarios over and over again, and she knew what they meant. To be blunt, whether or not he would wake up was uncertain.

During those few hours, she had thought about every possible outcome and risk in her mind countless times. This result was not the worst, and she could handle it. Ophelia's face showed no emotion, like a machine without feelings.

Even someone as significant as Victor was momentarily taken aback upon hearing the news, almost losing his balance, yet she stayed calm as usual. Ophelia asked, "Where is he now?"

"Kenneth has been moved to the ICU. At the moment, his vital signs are stable," Ronin replied.

"I want to see him."
