The doctor chuckled. "The surgery was a success. No need to worry. The patient will be out in a bit."

A collective sigh of relief filled the room after the doctor's announcement.

Exhausted, Mia leaned into her husband, whispering in a tired voice, "Honey, I'm sleepy, tired, and hungry."

Spotting his wife's tiredness, Andre addressed the crowd, "Now that Coleen's fine, I'm going to take Mia back to the room to rest. She's been too tense today."

The Byrnes quickly agreed, suggesting that Hansen should also return to rest. Indeed, Hansen had been sitting for a long time and was feeling worn out. He followed Andre and Mia back to the room. Leo, on their way out, announced, "I won't be going back. I'll stick around to see if I can lend a hand."

Andre nodded.

Back in the room, Mia laid on the bed with Andre massaging her back. Before long, she drifted off to sleep.

Andre and Hansen exchanged a glance. "Andre, let's do a good deed for Mia."

Andre looked at his wife, who was asleep and peaceful, and tenderly brushed her hair. "I've already made a donation of a billion dollars to charity in Mia's name."

Hansen nodded approvingly. "All we want is for Mia to give birth safely and peacefully."

Andre rubbed Mia's belly and looked back at her. The room was silent, but their concern for Mia was palpable.

When Coleen was wheeled out of the surgery room, her family surrounded her. She was taken back to her room in a daze. Leo helped transfer Coleen from the gurney to the bed.

The family finally calmed down after the hurdle of surgery was crossed.

Around six in the evening, the Cedillo family returned to Mia's room. She was still asleep. The Cedillo's housekeeper had left dinner in the room, untouched.
