Chapter 53 Do My Best

Chapter 53 Do My Best

“Troy, what are you doing?”

The sky had turned dark, and Layla spoke up, “Waiting here won’t help. Imogen still has a wound on her head. Why don’t you go back with her? Leo will call you when your grandfather comes out of the operating room.”

“No.” Imogen immediately refused, holding onto Layla’s arm. “Grandma, I’m not going back. I want to wait here with you.”

Regardless of what would happen to Henry, she wanted to be the first one to see him.

“Grandma, we’ll stay here with you,” Troy added.

Seeing their determination, Layla didn’t object further.

After another two hours, the red light outside the operating room finally turned green.

Imogen, Troy, Leo, and Layla all stood up and gathered at the door of the operating room, waiting for the doctors to come out.

The doors of the operating room opened.

“Mr. Brooks, how is my grandfather?” Troy asked immediately.

His voice was hoarse and trembled slightly, betraying his efforts to remain composed.

With tearful eyes, Imogen stared at Willard, her hands pressed together over her heart, praying.

Willard removed his mask. “The surgery was successful. He’ll be observed in the ICU for two days. If everything goes well, he’ll be moved to a regular room.”

Imogen finally smiled. Tears streamed down her face as the weight that had been hanging over her heart lifted.

“Thank you, Mr. Brooks.”

Next, Henry was wheeled into the ICU.

Imogen looked at Henry, and his eyes closed, his face pale and lifeless. It hurt her so much to see him in this state.

Just a few days ago, he was playing chess with her, lively and full of smiles. And now, in just a few days, he had become seriously ill.

Imogen and the others followed Henry to the ICU.

The doctor reminded them, “The patient needs rest right now. Please be patient and don’t make loud noises.”

“Thank you, doctor,” Layla said.
