Chapter 210: Godly Doctor
The sky looked so gloomy when their plane was about to land at the airport. And when their plane tires touched the runway, it started to rain. The sky seemed to represent Rose’s current mood, cloudy and gloomy.
The heavy rain accompanied them on their way to Promise Hospital. Along the way, Rose’s eyes looked out the window at other cars passing by as her mind was hazy. Not a word escaped from her lips. If Evan asked her, she just nodded or shook her head. She was too nervous waiting for the good news from the hospital.
What she heard from the conversation Evan had with Gavin is; Her mother is currently in the surgery room. It’s been 2 hours, but there’s still no sign of the operation being finished. This fact made her fearful. In her heart, she kept praying that the doctor who operated on her mother would be given the ease in carrying out his duties.
"God! Please help my mother...."
Then, she remembered those painful memories when her mother had cancer surgery a few months ago. Her hands on her lap clenched into fists, trying to hold her emotions.
"God, I will repay you with anything as long as you let my mother come back healthy!" She vow.
Twenty hours during the trip from Florence to Astington, her tears seemed to have been drained. However, now her eyes start to blurry again when a wave of sadness suddenly appears surrounding her heart. It’s maybe because she sees a 20-building complex with the sign ’PROMISE HOSPITAL’ not far in front of their car. The closer their vehicle was to the hospital, the faster her heart beat.
"Wife, let’s go..." Evan’s soft voice snapped her out of her deep thoughts. Rose immediately got out of the car when Evan opened the door for her.
When Rose reached the VVIP patient surgery room floor, her steps felt heavy looking at the silver door at the end of the corridor with a red light above it. And when she read her mother’s name on the flat-screen TV by the door, her heart tightened.
"E-Evan... my mom...." She murmurs only to receive a gentle pat on her back from her husband. She nods when her husband tries to coax her to calm down. She was aware of staying calm, but how could she do that when her heart was about to explode?
"Son! Daughter-In-Law! You guys finally come...." Anthony Collins and Doris Stearns, sitting in the lounge at the front of the surgery room, looked at them.
Rose nodded slowly, looking at her mother-in-law. Then she received her mother-in-law’s warm embrace. Rose tried to keep her tears from spilling, but as Doris’s hand slowly stroked her back, her eyes started to feel blurry. She can feel her warm tears flow down her cheeks and her body start trembling. She sobbed.
