The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

The Lies He Told Me 160

My surgery was supposed to provide Eloise with valuable data.

However, shortly after the procedure started, I experienced a brief brain. shock due to excessive bleeding.

During the emergency, Antonio and Eloise were nowhere to be found.

"How can her surgeons just vanish?" a nurse asked anxiously.

It was a very on question, I could not see my husband anywhere.

"I heard Dr. Pitts needed some data for her paper, so Dr. Kaufman let her operate," one replied. "Abandoning their patient for data? They should just quit," a doctor fumed.

Their conversation hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me disoriented and weak. I didn't know if it was due to my condition or the shock.

An intern looked at me and said, "She is in critical condition, but the attending doctors are not here. How are we supposed to proceed?" As they were at a loss, my condition deteriorated.

Their faces began to blur, and I could only faintly sense my surroundings, catching fragmented voices.

"Dr. Kaufman isn't answering his phone? What now?" one nurse said.

"Neither is Dr. Pitts," another added.

Just before I completely lost consciousness, I heard the surgical team was ready.

It was all thanks to another surgeon with glasses stepping in, who swiftly took charge.

I faintly heard him say, "Don't worry. You won't die." But I wasn't sure if this was a hallucination due to the anesthesia.
