Thankfully, Ste was there to steady her.


    The butler and Lindsay also rushed out of the dining room upon hearing themotion, which had thrown the living room into utter chaos.


    Without dy, Matthew transported Waldo to the hospital, with Ste and Lucia following in another car.


    Left behind, Lindsay felt a growing unease, worried the elderly couples condition might disrupt her ns.


    She barked at the butler, Quick, get another car ready-I need to go to the hospital now! At the hospital, outside the operating room, a group of anxious faces awaited further news.


    Cordell arrived swiftly, having been promptly informed of the crisis.


    Upon seeing the rk family in turmoil, Cordell attempted to instill calm.


    Dont worry, dont panic, he soothed.


    He then turned to Ste, offering guidance.


    Keep a close watch on Lucias emotions.


    Ensure she doesnt be overly agitated.


    Ste, steadying Lucia, nodded in acknowledgment.


    Cordell proceeded to enter the operating room to assess the situation.


    Time seemed to stand still until the light outside the operating room finally switched off.


    ..


    Library As the door swung open, everyone clustered around the doctor.


    The doctor swiftly alleviated their concerns, announcing, The patient has been stabilized.


    Theres no major issue, but given his age, he must avoid any further stress or excitement.


    Relieved, everyone exhaled deeply.


    Lucia, still trembling, wiped away her tears and murmured gratefully, Thank God, thank God… Beside her, Stes tension eased, thankful that Waldo was out of immediate danger.


    However, in that moment of relief, Matthew approached Ste with a frosty look.


    You better have an exnation for this, he stated quietly.novelbin


    Ste was stunned.


    Matthews word kept echoing in her mind like a storm brewing inside her, leaving her uneasy and on edge.


    Lucia, on the other hand, failed to catch what Matthew said, as she was preupied with Waldos condition.


    She gingerly tugged at Stes sleeve.


    Lets go to Waldos ward and check on him first, she said in a worried tone.


    Ste took a deep breath in an attempt to calm her roiling emotions.


    ALL right.


    With that, she put an arm around Lucia and supported her as they slowly made their way to the ward.


    Lindsay sat quietly nearby, appearing nonchnt on the surface, but actually noting every single detail of her surroundings.


    She didnt manage to overhear the conversation between Matthew and Ste, either, but she could tell from Matthews sullen expression that he was pissed.


    This led Lindsay to specte that Ste might have something to do with Waldos fainting.


    The idea delighted her, and she couldnt help but feel like Luck was finally on her side.
