Chapter 248 Really Tough
In the operating room, the brain-dead donor had been pushed in.
The cold light shone onto the two operating tables beside each other.
Everleigh washed her hands and changed into her sterile suit once again. When she entered the room, she saw Christopher standing in front of the operating table, looking at her as an assistant. "Have they signed it?" She asked.
Christopher nodded. His hands, which were covered in gloves, were hanging in mid-air. He had a mask and a pair of goggles on. His usually playful eyes were deep and calm. "Theodore said he wants you to be the main surgeon." Everleigh was lightly startled, and there was a flash of astonishment in her eyes. She went straight to the operating table and said, "Get ready to open the chest."
...
The operation went on for more than eight hours, and the day was already bright. There was only the sound of breathing in the quiet corridor outside the operating room.
The moment the door of the operating room opened, everyone's gaze fell on the doctor who came out.
Theodore stood there without moving. His hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes met Christopher's as he walked out. Christopher took off his mask and said, "The operation was successful. The patient is no longer in a critical state." Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The Godfrey family's butler held onto Madison, who had almost fainted, and asked everyone to go back to rest first.
Madison shook her head. Her eyes were swollen with tears. "I won't go. I'll stay here to accompany Mom and wait for her to wake up."
"Madam, you'd better go back," the butler said with a serious look on his face, "Even if Madam Scott wakes up, she can't take another blow."
Madison's face, which was already pale, was drained of its color after hearing this.
On the other side, Wilson got up while holding his still sleeping son, Hansen. His voice was not loud, and he was as gentle as usual. He said to Yvonne next to him, "Let's go."
She was also very sensible. She nodded and woke up her daughter, Loraine. The family of four nodded to Christopher before leaving.
The corridor suddenly became quiet.
"I won't leave. I have to explain to Mom clearly. I haven't done anything bad, so why must I take the blame?" Although Madison's voice was weak, she still refused to leave and the butler could do nothing about it. "That's enough." Theodore glanced sideways at her. His gaze was icy cold. "You can leave now."
She was so frightened that she shuddered. She stared blankly at her son in front of her, unable to say a word.
Christopher had seen this kind of situation many times.
After being a doctor for such a long time, he had seen many things. The door of the operating room was also called the "Gate of Life and Death". Whenever the person who went in came out, there were only two possibilities. Once the door was closed, besides relatives and friends, human warmth was also separated from the operation room.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Theodore. For a moment, he felt sympathy for him.
Theodore was a person who didn't do anything, but was still the most guilty person.
In the cardiology department, Everleigh collapsed on the sofa after the surgery. She didn't even have the strength to pour herself a glass of water. Knock, knock! There came a knock on the door. She responded weakly, "Come in."
Christopher came in with two glasses of milk. "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. I don't have the appetite."
"I knew it. Drink some milk then."
Then, he placed the straw into Everleigh's mouth and said, "If you can't hold it up yourself, I can hold it for you. The fee is 200 dollars for such service."
"Have you lost your mind after being poor?" Everleigh grabbed the milk and rolled her eyes at him.

He took his glass and leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed. "It seems like I owe you money in my last life, doesn't it? I barely managed to sneak out to take a vacation, but you pulled me back to the operating table." "It seems that I owed you a huge sum of money."
"Just now, Theodore seemed like a walking corpse. How miserable."
Everleigh stopped drinking the milk and said in a low voice, "Your change of topic is just too abrupt."
"Do you want me to beat around the bush then?" He looked up at the ceiling. "Don't go back today, and don't answer the phone at home. I'll go back and explain it to them later."
After what happened the night before, the Meyer family and the Trevino family were left aside. At first, they had intended to talk about the wedding, but in the end, everything fell apart. Who could have expected this? Everleigh had no energy to think about anything else. At this time, she was only worried that her father would be in a bad mood after knowing all this.
"I'll talk to my dad. Your parents..."
She hesitated for a while and said, "I will find time to apologize to them."
"Why would you apologize?" He waved his hand. "I was the one who initiated the fake marriage. Wasn't it to cheat them into giving me money that year? What does it have to do with you?"
Although he said that, the Meyer family's two elders had always treated her like a daughter-in-law for a long time. They treated Alastair and Adrienne so well that Everleigh felt apologetic towards them.
"As for the reputations of this family, you don't have to worry about them." Christopher straightened up and glanced at her. "We don't need to deal with them anymore. Somebody has already blocked all the seals." Hearing this, Everleigh frowned slightly and knew who he meant without thinking.
It was already noon. In the Bailey family's villa on the outskirts of the city.
"Miss Josephine, there's news from the hospital saying that Madam Scott's operation was successful."
Hearing this, Josephine's face suddenly darkened. "That old lady is really tough."

"I heard that the commotion last night at the hotel was huge. On the Godfrey family's side, even Wilson and Yvonne were there. Everyone was present in the family. The corridor of the operating room was crowded with people." "How could they not gather around on such an occasion where the division of assets is at stake?" Josephine coldly snorted. "That old hag is really lucky. She was even able to find a suitable match for heart transplant, and the operation was even successful."
She gritted her teeth when she recalled that it was Helen who had messed up her marriage with Theodore. However, on second thought, if Helen died on the operating table, then it would be difficult for her to carry out her plan. Thinking of this, she unlocked her mobile phone and dialed a number.
After the phone was connected, she glanced at the maid, who got the hint, and left.
Josephine said as she walked to the balcony, "It's me."
A cautious female voice came from the phone. "Miss Bailey."
"How is Madam Scott now?"
"She has been sent to the ICU and her condition is temporarily not critical, but they can't guarantee if there are any abnormal reactions after the examination."
"When can they confirm that the surgery is completely successful?"
"About... Half a month."
Hearing this, Josephine thought for a moment. "Get ready with the thing I told you. We shall take action in half a month."
The other party was shocked. "Miss Bailey, if we are discovered..."
"Ten million. As long as you do it, ten million dollars will immediately be transferred into your account. Even if we've been discovered, it'll just be a malpractice on your part. What are you afraid of?"
