The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 110 The Surgery Result

?A look of shock still flashed across her eyes, but in the end, she smiled.

Her smile gradually turned into a silly laugh. She laughs while covering her face with a pillow to hide her blushing face.

She could feel her greedy heart starting to torment her again.

After a few moments, she slapped her cheeks with her hands and tried to shake off what was on her mind.

"Silly girl, Scarlett!! Xander is someone you can't own! That man only demands a marriage contract with you!" She chuckled and slowly rested her eyes. Somehow she became sleepy. Hoping she meets her prince charming in her dreams!

Before long...

A loud knock on the door woke Scarlett up from her sleep. The bedroom was already dark. There was only a dim light from the window.

She quickly got up and opened the bedroom door.

Xander suddenly raised his eyebrows when Scarlett stood before him. He quickly looked away and cleared his throat, saying, "...Sorry to wake you! I just wanted to tell you that….your father's surgery is over."

"Really!?"

"Yes!"

p?nd?`no??1--?o? "Let's go! I want to see him and Grandpa Robert..." She said and walked towards the door, but before she could open the door, Xander held her hand. "Why did you stop me?" She turned to look at him.

"At least fix your appearance," Xander said and walked over to the sofa. He avoided seeing a particular part of her body.

Scarlett was confused by his words. She looked down to see her body.

She suddenly froze at what she saw; three buttons on her shirt were open, and her snow-white collarbones were exposed. What made her legs go limp, her black bra was exposed.

Now she realizes why Xander seemingly avoids looking at her. Gosh!!

Instantly she felt her face heat up with embarrassment. She dragged her feet back into the bedroom with unsteady steps and slammed the door behind her.

"You are such an idiot, Scarlett!!" She scolded herself and went to the bathroom to fix her shirt. She also needed to get her face color back to normal — now she looked like a boiled crab.

Arriving in front of the postoperative room, she saw her father still in the same condition, not yet conscious. But this time, she was no longer as worried as before. She tried to believe that Grandpa Robert would successfully cure her father.

'He will wake up soon! Yes... He will wake up soon!' She whispered in her heart.

"Scarlett, let's meet Dr. Robert..." Xander said. She looked at him and nodded.

Not long after, they were standing in front of Doctor Robert's restroom. And from outside, Scarlett heard a familiar voice. She smiles before knocking on the door.

She was right, it was the Hospital Director, and Dr. Liam Stuart was now talking to Grandpa Robert. They looked so immersed in their conversation about the medical field.

"Scarlett, Xander, you guys are finally here! Sit here..." Doctor Robert happily smiled when he saw them enter the room. He motioned for Scarlett to sit next to him.

"Grandpa, Dr. Gray, Dr. Stuart..." Scarlett and Xander greeted them all.

Scarlett couldn't hide her curiosity about her father's surgery results. She looked at Grandpa Robert with a curious gaze.

"Grandpa, h-how is he!?"

Dr. Robert smiled at the girl. He began to explain Jonathan Piers' condition to Scarlett and Xander.

Overall Jonathan Piers' surgery went well, and it is expected that Jonathan will wake up in the next few hours. However, he is still under observation before transferring to the patient's room.

Scarlett was very relieved to hear, "Grandpa, thank you so much for your help. I will never forget this..." One of the problems that worried her was finally lifted — she believed what Grandpa Robert had said; her father would wake up soon.

Now only Nicole still makes her worry. So far, her condition has not changed.

"Grandpa, you remember about my little sister, Nicole, right?"

"I remember. But I haven't had time to check the medical report yet. I'll take a look later..." Since yesterday he had only focused on the Jonathan Piers case. He had not touched the files on Nicole Piers at all.

And if he had to look at Nicole's medical report now, he probably wouldn't be able to. He was too tired after a long surgery. He needs time to rest for a bit.

"Okay... Grandpa, you can rest before looking at the medical report. But I hope you can help her too. She is the only sister I have." Her voice trembled slightly, remembering her younger sister, who had always been obedient and kind to her. Nicole's attitude is in stark contrast to her mother, Lauren.

"Don't worry! She'll be fine..." Doctor Robert smiled reassuringly at Scarlett.

"Thanks, grandpa!"

"Why are you thanking me? I already consider you my family, so your sister is my family. I will try my best to help her..."

While Scarlett and Doctor Robert were talking, the Hospital Director, who was talking to someone on the phone, looked pale and shocked. Xander, who saw him, frowned.

"Something happened, Dr. Gray?" Xander's voice caught Scarlett's attention. She turned her gaze to the Hospital Director, and she was stunned.

'Why does he look shocked, like he just received a death sentence!?' Scarlett felt curious.

The Hospital Director immediately hung up the phone. He looked at Xander, "Mr. Riley, it's about Miss. Nicole Piers..." He shifted his gaze to Scarlett before continuing, "I just got the news that Miss Piers has died!"

"WHAT!!" Scarlet cried in shock. At this moment, only God knew how shocked and frightened she was to hear the news.

How could her sister die so quickly!? She didn't want to believe it before seeing it for herself. She stood up from her seat but almost fell when her knees felt like tofu.

"I... I want to see her! X-Xander, please take me there..." Scarlett's voice trembled as she held Xander's hand, which was now standing beside her, supporting her so she wouldn't fall.

The Hospital Director knew what he had to do. He led them all to see Nicole Piers' dead body.
