Chapter 482: At Odds with Vera

The doctor smiled and said, "The surgery was successful. Don't worry, the patient will be out soon." After the doctor finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Vera slumped against Patrick, nestled into his embrace, and murmured, "Honey, I'm tired and hungry."

Patrick held Vera and said to everyone, "Ellie is fine. I'll take Vera back to the room to rest; she's been very tense today." The Chase family quickly agreed to let Vera go back, and also suggested that the elderly Shawn should return as well. Shawn had been sitting for a long time and was feeling a bit overwhelmed, so he followed Vera back to the room. As they passed Randall, he said, "I'm not going back. I'll see if I can help with anything."

Patrick nodded.

As soon as they returned to the room, Vera got into bed, and Patrick gently massaged her back. Before long, Vera fell asleep from exhaustion. Shawn and Patrick exchanged glances.

Patrick leaned over, looked at the sleeping Vera, and gently brushed her hair. With eyes full of love, he said, "I've already arranged for the company to donate five hundred million dollars in Vera's name." Shawn was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, we ask for nothing else but for Vera to have a smooth and safe delivery."

Patrick reached out to touch Vera's belly and then looked at her again.

Ellie was wheeled out of the operating room, surrounded by family, and was sent back to her room in a daze.

Randall helped transfer Ellie from the gurney to the bed.

Now that the surgery was done, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Around six in the evening, the Olteran family returned to Vera's room, where she was still sleeping.

The Olteran family's servants brought dinner and left it there, untouched.

When Vera woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Only Patrick was there in the room; everyone else had gone home.

"Honey, how's Ellie?"

Patrick replied, "Molly came to check on you while you were sleeping. She said that Ellie has woken up and she's fine." "That's good." Vera found it hard to sit, so she stood up and ate her meal with the bowl in her hands.

Patrick laughed out loud at her actions.
