The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 260 A Surgery

Julian nodded. Then he made a call directly.

"Dr. Hack, it’s me. Regarding the patient I told you before, he needs surgery now. Where are you? Alright. I'll send someone there to pick you up." Julian settled the issue quickly. Then he looked at Susan and consoled her. "Susie, don't worry. I asked somebody to go and pick up Dr. Hack. He's the best international heart specialist. It'll be fine if he's here to perform the surgery."

"Julian, thank you." Susan pursed her lips tightly.

The success rate of the surgery had now increased to 7 0% with Dr. Hack there.

It was rather a high rate, but there was still a 30% chance of failure.

If it was Jacob, Susan did not want to take a risk even i f it was only 1%.

"Miss Shelby, regarding this surgical consent form..." The nurse looked at Susan.

"Susie." Julian held her hand tightly, wanting to give her some mental support.

Susan took a deep breath. Surprisingly, she sounded rather calm all of a sudden. "This surgical consent form! I'll sign it! Please save my brother."

She signed her name calmly.

"Don't worry. We’ll definitely try our best to save him since it’s our responsibility. If Dr. Hack is here, please press the emergency bell by the door. We’ll start the surgery right away," the nurse said before she returned to the emergency room.

"Brother...” Susan sat on the chair feebly.

'30% death rate.’

She did not want to risk it, but she had run out of options.

If she took the risk, there was still some chance that her brother would survive.

If not, she might even lose that tiny thread of hope.

"Brother, you must hold on. You have to," Susan muttered ceaselessly.

After a few minutes, Julian’s subordinate sent Dr.

Hack to the hospital. Then, Dr. Hack rushed into the emergency room directly.

They started to perform the surgery on him.

At the door of the emergency room, the red light was lit.

Susan looked at the light in a daze.

The surgery was performed without wasting any time.

The person who was waiting outside was much more nervous than the people inside the emergency room.

"Susie, it's three o'clock now. You've not had your lunch. Please do eat some." Julian persuaded her softly.

Susan's face was rather pale. She shook her head. " Julian, I don't feel like eating."

"You've got to eat even if you have no appetite. The baby will be hungry too." Julian tried his best to persuade her.

Hearing that her baby might get hungry, Susan took u p the spoon and forced herself to eat some of the porridge.

After having some of it, Susan began to stare at the lamp in a daze again.

After a long while, she said hoarsely, "Julian, you know what? When my parents passed away and I was left all alone with my brother, I asked him what would happen to us in the future. He held my hand and reassured me that he would always be there for me. H e asked me not to be scared, and he'd certainly protect me well.

"He gave me such a promise, and he managed to do so. In order to let me go to school, he gave up his study and went to work so he could support my education, allowing me to go and study in college. Do you know about that? My brother is actually smarter than me. H e learns by himself, and he's able to reach such a high level just by himself. If he was able to go to college, he'd definitely be much more exceptional than he is now."

As she talked about the past, she cried vigorously. " Maybe it was because of me that he was put through such a hard time, learning the skills and knowledge b y himself."

Julian was saddened to see her like that. He wiped away her tears and said softly, "Susie, your brother never blames you.”

"I know.” Susan became teary. "Since young, I've always been the one whom he adores the most. Even i f I was naughty, he was never harsh on me. Every time I made a mistake, he would take the initiative and take the blame for me. Once, I liked a doll so much. So I took the money from home secretly and went to buy the doll. My parents realized that there was less money, so they inquired about it. I was so scared to admit to my mistake. It was him who stood up and took the blame. He claimed that he was the one who stole the money. That time, he was beaten up vigorously. Later, he could even smile at me and reassure me that he was fine. He was not hurt at all."Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The tears blurred Susan's vision. "After that, I never touched that doll. I hid it deep down inside a box and told myself that I should never make such a mistake again. Otherwise, I'll burden the person who is very important to me.

"Later, I lost the doll after moving from house to house. But I remember the excruciating pain I felt at that moment distinctly.

"And another time..."

Susan talked about the past ceaselessly. Julian only stayed beside her and listened to her.

He knew that what Susan needed now was not his opinion. She just needed a listener.

"Brother, he...” Susan's hoarse voice was heard in the empty hallway.

Julian listened to her. He could not help feeling slightly sad.

He could only hold Susan's hand tighter, i

Seth waited at the side all the time, and he did not leave. He leaned against the wall and looked at the tightly closed door in daze.

Unknowingly, he had clenched his fist.

'Jacob! We promised each other that we were going to publicize our program on the international platform. Now, we've just started our business. How could you get sick now?

'If... If you dare to give yourself up and die...

'Then I’ll...

'I'll go to your tomb and speak to you every day! 1

'Don't you hate my blabbering? I’ll definitely annoy you so much so that you can’t help crawling out of the tomb! Otherwise, I’m not the Seth you know!'

The surgery took around five hours.

The door was still tightly closed.

Susan talked endlessly. Her voice became slightly hoarse now.

Julian was greatly saddened by that. He had no choice but to hold her tightly in his arms. "Susie, don't talk anymore. You need to rest."

Julian's hug was quite warm. Suddenly, Susan became desperate and soon she was enveloped in immense pain.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she seemed just like a frightened child.

Julian could only hold her tightly. Then, he patted her back continuously.

"Julian, tell me. My brother will be fine. Will he?" Susan looked at Julian eagerly.

"Certainly." Julian nodded firmly.

Susan bit her lower lip and said without any hesitation, "I believe you."

She was greatly anxious, and she needed someone to give her some courage at that moment.

Luckily, she still had Julian there with her.

Otherwise, she did not know how she could endure that excruciating time.

It started at noon, and evening had fallen. The sun had set, and the entire world darkened.

Susan leaned against Julian’s legs. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and she was having all kinds of complicated thoughts now.

All of a sudden, the door of the operating room was opened.

A stretcher was pushed out.

Susan jumped out of Julian's hug quickly.

A few doctors left the surgical room while taking off their masks.

Susan looked at the person on the stretcher. She was anxious and scared, and she was too afraid to approach that stretcher.

'Was the surgery...

'Successful?'
