Alger wept bitterly, it took him a while to say, "Our little girl hurts so badly, yet she still asked us to
forgive him."
On hearing this, Celeste knew who that ‘him referred to, and the tears instantly flowed.
No one had expected that when Crystal asked her father to come in, she wished for her father to
forgive Clark.
She knew how her father gets, and knew that seeing her in such a state, her father would definitely
seek revenge for her.
She was afraid her father would vent his anger on Clark, even knowing she was on the brink of death.
She was still using her last bit of energy to protect this man.
Clark's eyes instantly reddened.
In this lifetime, he owed Crystal too much, way too much.
No one knew how much time had passed, the darkness of the night had turned into daylight, the lights
in the operating room were still on, and seven or eight doctors and nurses were still battling death at
the operating table.
Serena had already dozed off several times, she would have slept more soundly if it weren't for Celeste
sobbing from time to time.
At this moment, the operating room door opened, and another nurse hurried out.
Celeste, who had cried for too long, rushed forward. Her head felt swollen and her body swayed a little,
clearly unsteady.
"Nurse, what's the situation inside? It's been nine hours already.’ Celeste wept. These nine hours, 540
minutes, and 32,400 seconds, she had spent in anxiety and agony.
“Nine hours ago, the patient couldn't hold on any longer. It's all thanks to Dr. Bella who tried everything
to keep her going until now, the nurse patiently explained. "I understand your family's feelings, but
please trust the doctors inside. Each one of them has been fighting death for nine hours, without a
second's rest."
Celeste's tears flowed again. She nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
As the nurse passed by Serena, Serena shot her a glare.
The nurse was confused, but she left in a hurry, knowing that saving lives was more important.
Serena was extremely dissatisfied in her heart. Why did this nurse keep praising Dr. Bella? How much
has this nurse been bribed by Bella?
Romeo had been unable to reach Bella since last night. Before her flight took off, she had specifically
sent him a WhatsApp message, saying that she was leaving her uncle's house and returning to
Reflections Villa.
But until seven in the morning, Romeo hadn't received a single message from her.
It wasn't until Carl reported that Logan and Taylor were in trouble that Romeo traced the clues and
found out that Bella was still in the operating room trying to save Crystal.
He brought breakfast over and saw from a distance Alger weeping in his wife's arms. They seemed to
have aged ten years overnight.
Kenneth and Louisa had already said all the comforting words they could think of, but they seemed to
have no effect.
Clark was supporting his forehead with his crossed fingers, looking as though he was still in agony.
Only Serena saw him coming. She waved at him with a smile, then went to the water dispenser in the
distance to fill a cup of warm water. She rushed to the restroom to rinse her mouth, wanting to maintain
fresh breath in front of Romeo.
Romeo brought the breakfast to Kenneth and Louisa.
Kenneth, with his head down, noticed a pair of shiny new leather shoes in front of him and looked up,
“Romeo, you're here."
"Bella is still inside." Louisa said listlessly.
"I know." Romeo looked at them and knew they hadn't slept all night. He brought out the breakfast, "Eat
something first."
He patted Clark's shoulder and said gently, "Clark, have some."
Hearing Romeo's voice, Alger and Celeste, who were sobbing, looked over.
"Alger, Celeste, you guys should eat too, the people inside will need you later."
