Chapter 374

**Hospital**

The doors of the operating room finally swung open, and Sean was wheeled out on a gurney.

The surgeon removed his mask and turned to Jeffry, who had been anxiously waiting outside. "The patient's leg bone has been set. The surgery was a complete success," he said. "From now on, proper rest is essential-he absolutely can't get out of bed for at least a month."

Jeffry nodded and carefully pushed Sean toward his private room.

Sean had no idea how much time passed before he finally woke up.

A faint smile broke through the pallor on Sean's face.
