The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game
Chatper 167
Chapter 167
The lights in the operating room were on, and hearts outside were held aloft in worry.
Suddenly, the door swung open. A nurse emerged, clutching a critical condition notice for the family to sign.
Daisy was nearly faint with anxiety, but it was Jocelyn who steadied her hand enough to scribble the signature. Undergoing emergency surgery for a heart attack was risky business, so signing the critical condition notice was to be expected.
Thankfully, Calvin’s surgery was a success; he was awake when they wheeled him out.
They only caught a glimpse of him before he was whisked away to the ICU, beyond their reach.
The doctor handed Jocelyn a list of essentials to buy.
Melvin took the list from her. “Stay with Daisy. I’ll go get these.”
Watching him hustle, Jocelyn felt a sense of relief washing over her.
By the time everything was ready, dawn had broken.
“Are you sure this won’t affect your work?” Jocelyn couldn’t help but worry.
Melvin glanced at the time. “Zephyr should be on his way to the airport by now. It’s fine.”
Daisy had already questioned Jocelyn. She was aware that Melvin was supposed to be on a business trip, but he’d put everything on hold for the old man.
It was impossible not to be moved by such a gesture.
Especially in moments of vulnerability, when someone lends a hand, it’s hard not to soften.
“Daisy, there’s nothing more we can do here for now. Why don’t you head back and get some rest? You can come back and see him during visiting hours this afternoon.” Melvin insisted, concerned about Daisy after the long night.
Jocelyn agreed, “Mom, let Melvin take you home. I’ll stay here and come to pick you up later.”
“I’m not going anywhere.” Daisy said. Her eyes glued to the ICU door, and the worry never leaving her gaze.
“Mom, you need to rest.” Jocelyn firmly stated. “Staying here won’t help. Go gets some sleep and come back refreshed. Dad will only be in there for three or four days before moving to a regular room. That’s when you’ll be busy taking care of him. I’ll hold down the fort here, so don’t worry.”
Finally, Daisy conceded with Jocelyn’s persistent coaxing.
