Chapter 623
The light outside the operating room finally went out after three hours. The doctor was the first to come out. Then,
it was Rayna, who was wheeled out by the nurse.
Curtis quickly stepped forward, and before the doctor could say anything, he entered the ward with the nurse.
At that, Theodore took in a deep breath before turning to the doctor.
The doctor was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Theodore looking at him, he pulled down his mask and said,
“The surgery was a success, but we couldn't clear all the blood clots resulting from Mrs. Faymon's head trauma. As
it's pressing on the blood vessels in the brain, we recommend that you wait for some of the blood clots to go away
before undergoing the second surgery to remove them completely.”
“Blood clot?” Kristie frowned when she heard his words, having been reminded of the dramatic plots of television
shows. “Will it affect her vision, or will she develop any long-term health effects from this?”
“We can't rule out the possibility of something like that happening,” the doctor confessed.
At that, the four people around him inhaled sharply.
In other words, there was a chance that Rayna might go blind and have other complications.
Theodore nodded at the doctor in acknowledgment. Only when the doctor left did the four people walk toward the
ward.
Curtis, who was already in the ward, was sitting by Rayna's bedside in a medical protective suit.
Outside the ward, Robin was holding onto his phone, seemingly anxious.
When Jasmine noticed his anxiety, she asked, “Mr. Yeast, is something the matter?”
“It's a call from the Faymon residence. Shelton the butler called to say that the children had been crying at home
for a long time and were inconsolable,” Robin said, revealing what Shelton had said to him to the four people
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoutside the ward.
“Kristie, I'll go to the Faymon residence with you to check up on the kids first. The two of you stay here and keep
Curtis company,” Jasmine said to Theodore. The men nodded in agreement.
Not long after Jasmine and Kristie left, Jeremy came. When he saw Theodore and James, he asked, “Theodore, how
is Curtis?”
Thinking that Jeremy mistook Curtis as the one in the accident, he explained, “It was Rayna who was in the
accident.”
“I know it was Rayna, but Curtis...” Jeremy realized he should not say what he was about to utter out loud, so he
swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. “How is Rayna?”
“She just came out of surgery, and she's not in any danger,” was the only thing Theodore said to him. He did not
tell Jeremy about the possible complications that could arise, for he felt that it would be better to tell Curtis about it
before telling Jeremy the chatterbox about it.
James could somewhat grasp what was going on when he did not hear Theodore telling Jeremy all the details of the
situation, so he said nothing as well.
Irina Eastbridge, who had just returned from the banquet, bumped into Jovan Eastbridge in a set of pajamas. When
she saw him, she asked, “Jovan, why didn't you go to the banquet today? Sheena was waiting for you.”
However, Jovan only gave Irina a glance in silence before walking past her to head upstairs.
Livid, Irina stomped her foot and hissed, “You'll regret this one day, Jovan!”
Hearing that, Jovan froze in his tracks before his bedroom door for a second before turning around to look at Irina.
After a moment of frowning, he opened the door and went in.
Meanwhile, when Jasmine and Kristie reached the Faymon residence, the three children were still wailing. No
matter how much the nanny tried to console them, the tears continued to roll down their cheeks.
The second the two stepped into the house, they noticed the stain on the nanny's clothes, and they stiffened.
“They're vomiting back out the milk—they vomited everything they had,” the nanny, who was carrying Xareni,
explained helplessly.
At that, Jasmine reached out to take Xareni from the nanny. “Good girl, Reni. Don't cry.”
On the other hand, Kristie started playing with Yelena. “Mr. Yosef and Ms. Yelena are faring better,” the nanny then
said to Jasmine and Kristie.
“They must have some sort of telepathic connection with their mother. I think they sensed that something
happened to Rayna.” Jasmine continued to console Xareni. After a long while, Xareni's crying finally tapered off. She
then looked at Jasmine with her teary eyes, but after a few seconds of staring, she seemed to realize that Jasmine
was not one of her parents. Hence, the girl started crying again.
The moment Xareni started crying, Yosef and Yelena, who had already calmed down, began crying with her again.
In no time, the crying noises from the children filled the air in the Faymon residence.
“Curtis, I brought some food over. Eat something first so that you won't starve yourself.” Back in the hospital,
Jeremy, who had changed into a medical protective suit, placed a hand on Curtis' shoulder. “Rayna's going to be
heartbroken if she finds out that you weren't drinking or eating just to stay by her side. Even if you don't care about
yourself, think about the kids.”
Curtis only reacted when Jeremy mentioned the children. He turned to look at Jeremy before looking outside.
However, the only person out there was Theodore. “Where's Jasmine and Kristie?”
“They went to your place. The butler called and said that the kids were crying non-stop,” Jeremy told him. Right
then, someone opened the door to the ward, and the doctor on shift entered with a nurse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“When will she wake?” Curtis asked. He held onto Rayna's hand, the weariness in his eyes visible.
After giving Rayna a checkup, the doctor answered, “Either today or tomorrow.”
Jeremy felt relieved to hear that. “Curtis, did you hear the doctor? Rayna's going to be fine.”
“Mhm.” Curtis nodded.
“Let's go. Get some food in you first. There are doctors and nurses here, so nothing will happen.” Jeremy began
towing Curtis toward the outside. As they reached the doorway, they noticed Theodore was on a call. Nevertheless,
he was swift to end the call when he spotted them.
Curtis took in Theodore's grim expression. “Did something happen?”
With a hand on his forehead, Theodore muttered in resignation, “Jasmine called to say that the kids aren't doing
well. Xareni hasn't been able to eat anything because she can't keep anything down. Now, she's even showing signs
of a fever. Yelena and Yosef are sobbing uncontrollably as well.”
Upon hearing that, Curtis paled even more.
“Why don't you go back to the Faymon residence first? We'll hold the fort here. The kids need you now. Think about
how upset Rayna will be when she wakes if the kids aren't doing well,” Theodore persuaded, hoping to convince
Curtis to return to the Faymon residence. “You should rest well too. Come back to keep Rayna company again when
you feel more revitalized.”
“He's right, Curtis. Go home and rest for now,” Jeremy chimed in. “The doctor said that Rayna will definitely either
wake today or tomorrow.”
Despite that, Curtis was still worried about Rayna; his heart remained in his throat as he felt like he would lose
Rayna at any time. “Okay, then I'll do that. If Rayna...”
“If she wakes up, I'll tell you immediately,” Theodore reassured as he put a hand on Curtis' shoulder, knowing what
he was about to say.
In the end, Theodore's driver sent Curtis back to the Faymon residence.
