Chapter 437 Darren and Melody's Fake Marriage

At the hospital.

+ Pebos

Darren was rushed into surgery, his injuries severe enough to necessitate the presence of several top

surgeons.

"What happened? How did he get injured so severely?" Irene, the head of the outpatient department, hurried over, her expression filled with concern as she approached Kelly: "I overheard some surgeons discussing Darren's condition; it sounds critical."

Felix, overcome with emotion, was kneeling in the corner, praying fervently for Darren.

Lacking any formal education or particular skills, all he could do was pray continuously.

Kelly sighed, watching him. She and Melody had tried to comfort Felix, suggesting he sit and wait rather than kneel, but he persisted, kneeling by the window, bowing deeply in a mix of prayer and guilt as if blaming himself for Darren's suffering.

"As long as they manage to stop the bleeding promptly, he should be out of immediate danger, right?" Kelly asked Irene anxiously.

Irene nodded. "Yes, but there's a complication. Darren is still young, and the worst damage was to his spleen. The recovery will be lengthy. It's really unfortunate for someone so young."

Kelly stood still, her nod heavy with the burden of guilt.

The cost of their ordeal was immense.

After four grueling hours, the surgeons finally emerged from the operating room.

"The surgery went well; we managed to control the bleeding in time. He's physically strong and has a robust will to live, which helped tremendously. However, due to the extent of damage to his tendons and bones, his recovery will likely take a year or more," one surgeon informed Kelly.

"I will look after him. I promise to take good care of him," Felix declared through tears, nearly collapsing as he stood, weakened from hours of kneeling.

Kelly steadied him and embraced him warmly. "Felix, this isn't your fault. You're not to blame for this, and Darren wouldn't hold this against you. You mustn't blame yourself."

Felix, burdened with profound despair/ nodded tearfully. "Thank you, thank you so much...

Darren was then moved to the ICU for round-the-clock monitoring.

Felix remained vigil outside, keeping a watchful eye on Darren's condition.

During this time, the parents of both Darren and Michael arrived, grateful to hear that Darren's condition
