Emelie calmly responded, “Mr. Middleton, my mom's surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning,” “Sol Don’t you
have to sleep tonight?” William picked up the ladle and filled a bowl with stew.
“Tean sleep at the hospital,” Emelie replied softly as her eyes fell on the bowl of stew.
“I'm worried about my mom, and | just want to stay close to her. The doctor says that she has to hold on until
tomorrow morning for the surgery. I'm afraid she won't make it till then, so | don’t want to leave her side.”
william looked at her eyelashes that hid the underlying emotions in her eyes.
He said, “Holding on until the surgery is just the first step. Surviving the surgery is the first challenge”
“1 understand. | heard that many patients encounter complications within the first 24 hours post-surgery. The
10% mortality rate mainly occurs during this critical period.
“We have to get through these 24 hours for her vital signs to officiallystabilize, Emelle said with worry
William quirked an eyebrow. “That's right. Now, you need to take care of yourself too. There are still many tough

William's voice was cold and detached. “I get it. | get that you don’t want to go back to Eastbay with me
tonight.”
He set down his half-filled bowl of stew and looked at her. His eyes seemed to see through her thoughts.
“I wanted you to return to Eastbay so that you can get a good night's sleep. What did you think | was trying to
do?”
It wasn’t just about what she thought it was more about what he was trying to do.
Why else would he seek her out? Was it really just for a meal? Was he someone like that?

tomorrow morning before flying back to Labios in the afternoon.”

surgery until she is transtered out of ICU and regains
consciousness.”

William stared into her eyes. “Is there anything you want to ask?!!
Emelie hesitated “About the medical expenses, are you going to pay a deposit and balance or settle it all at
once?”
William leaned back in his chair, his gaze cold
Emelie was confused by his response.
William loosened his the. The fiery gleam in his eyes was a stark contrast to the dark sky behind him. “I'll pay it
all at once. Don’t worry, I'll take responsibility for Mrs. Hoven'’s
case.
“That's my promise to you just remember to keep your promise to me.”
