Chapter 449 Deepest Condolences
“It’s fine. I’m not leaving until Lily is out,” Caroline firmly rejected.
As her voice faded, the operation theater’s lights dimmed.
Caroline ceased her pacing and swiftly approached the theater’s entrance.
Scott followed closely behind.
Soon, Deric gloomily emerged in his scrubs and looked at Caroline. “I’m sorry, Ms. Shenton. The
surgery failed.”
Caroline’s heart raced, and restlessness filled her chest. “What do you mean by “failed‘?”
The sound of a stretcher being moved echoed, and Deric turned to allow nurses to pass.
Caroline was about to check on Lily when she heard the doctor’s regretful words. “Time of death,

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Deric with disbelief.
She asked hoarsely, “What did you say again?”
Deric met her gaze with guilt. “Ms. Smith’s vital signs were unstable during the surgery-
“I don’t want to hear this! I’m asking you, what did you say again?” Caroline sternly interrupted,
her emotions spiraling out of control.
“Time of death, 2.27 p.m…”
“Are you joking?”
Caroline pushed away a nurse in front of her and hurried to Lily. She removed the white cloth covering
Lily’s face and staggered back when she saw Lily’s pale, lifeless face.
Scott quickly stepped forward to support Caroline. “Carol…”

“I don’t want to hear this!” Caroline turned to the group of doctors before her. “Lily isn’t your
closest family, so you didn’t give it your all, did you?”
The doctors exchanged puzzled glances, hindered by a language barrier.
Caroline’s cries grew louder at their response.
“I don’t believe this! Take Lily back into surgery!” Caroline broke free from Scott’s embrace, wiped
her tears, and gripped the stretcher’s railing.
Doctors moved forward to stop her. “Ms. Shenton, the patient has passed away. Our deepest

at the doctors.
Scott grabbed her hands and said, “Calm down, Carol!”
He signaled to one of the doctors to have Lily taken away.
The doctor nodded, exchanged soft words with the nurses, and moved the stretcher away.
Caroline desperately wanted to follow Lily after noticing that.
Scott held her tightly. “They are just doctors, Carol!”
“Let go of me! They weren’t like this when they had me sign the consent forms!” Caroline
screamed.
Unable to free herself, she watched helplessly as Lily was wheeled away.

Scott said, “I had no idea this would happen.”
Caroline clutched her aching chest and sank to her knees. “I regret letting Lily have the surgery.
