“But where’s Dr. Wagner? There’s only half an hour left until the surgery, but he’s not here yet. How


    unprofessional!”


    Francine tutted disapprovingly as she nced at her watch. Brain surgeon or not, how dare he neglect


    the heir of Hunt Enterprise?

    “Let’s wait a little while longer. Dr. Wagner usually arrives right on time, and besides, he only agreed to


    do this surgery because of his friendship with Mr. Hunt.”


    “Hmph! Let’s see how great he is then! He’d better cure my son, or it’s over for him.” Francine huffed as


    she sat in the corridor, forcing herself to be patient. 1


    Meanwhile, Seraphina stood in an isted area, wiping away her tears as her gaze turned cold. She


    fished out her phone and called an unregistered number. “Turns out they don’t care about me at all, so


    I don’t have to hesitate. Do it—

    After a while, it was time for the surgery.


    Anxious from the wait, Francine demanded, “What’s the matter? Isn’t he going to start the surgery


    now? He’s supposedly the best brain surgeon around, but he’s nowhere to be found.”


    “Hmm… Did something go wrong?” Elijah immediately called Owen’s assistant. A panicked voice was


    heard on the other end of the line, and Elijah’s eyes grew wide in shock.


    “What’s going on, Elijah? Where is he?” Francine asked quickly.


    Taking a deep breath, Elijah turned to Francine and said hesitantly, “Dr. Wagner’s assistant said…


    they’ve gotten into a car ident, and Dr. Wagner is in critical condition.”


    “What?” Francine gasped in horror. “What bad luck that it happened right before the surgery! Is this just


    an excuse because he doesn’t want to do the surgery?”


    “I don’t think so.” Elijah shook his head and added seriously, “Dr. Wagner always follows the contract;


    he wouldn’t say yes if he didn’t want to do it.”


    “What should we do now? Should we get Stef out?” Francine was secretly relieved that the surgery


    couldn’t be carried out. “I’m d because it’s less risky, but Stef may get mad.” 1


    “Has the surgery started?” Seraphina walked over from the other end of the corridor, her eyes watery.


    “I’m sorry, Madam Francine. I couldn’t control my emotions earlier, but now I realize that this surgery is


    necessary because he can’t be living a life of lies, and I wouldn’t befortable epting love that’s


    meant for someone else. I know I should be more open-minded…”


    “Something happened to the surgeon.” Francine sighed, looking agitated. “I’m afraid the surgery can’t


    be carried out.”
