Melanie did not come out of the operation theater until two hours later, and she was not brought to the normal hospital ward. Instead, she was brought to the VICU where her condition would be monitored for the next 24 hours before she could be transferred to the usual ward.

The doctor told Gwendolyn and Lucy that the surgery had gone well. Now, all that was left for them to do was observe Melanie during her recovery stage. If her body did not go into rejection within three months, then the bone marrow transplant would be deemed successful.

That being said, the next twenty hours were a critical period for Melanie as well, particularly where postoperative complications were concerned.

Having heard what the doctor said, Gwendolyn and Lucy went to the VICU to see Melanie, who was lying in bed and hooked to all kinds of medical equipment.

A nurse was stationed by the bedside. Under Lucas' strict instructions and with Kevin and Patrick keeping an eye on things here, Gwendolyn, Lucy and Melanie were practically treated as VIPs in the hospital.

“Don't worry,” the nurse said. “It's normal for the patient to stay unconscious like this following the surgery. She'll likely wake up tomorrow when the anesthesia completely wears off.”

Lucy's eyes were glistening with tears as she reached out to clasp Melanie's hand.

Gwendolyn's heart twisted when she saw how distressed Lucy was.

When the two women left the VICU, they made their way over to Lucas' hospital room. Unlike Melanie, he was already wide awake and sipping soup.

He seemed a little drained, and beads of sweat had broken out over his forehead.

A caretaker was feeding him soup when he saw Lucy walk into the room. The moment his gaze fell upon her, he did not look away.
