Marcos clenched his fists.
Luca stopped talking, knowing that he already knew whaty ahead.
Sarah had been leading a difficult life. Marcos believed this to be true.
"Let''s go back," murmured Luke, who had remained silent all along. Gale was there to take his ce,
but he could not return to the hotel in Marcos'' ce. Ethan would knock on his door at any moment.
Marcos nodded. Sarah was still in the intensive care unit. There was nothing he could do by staying at
the hospital.
Moreover, Luke and Gale had helped him so much. It would not be right to stop them from going home
to get some rest...
Marcos took a deep breath. After he calmed himself down, he expressed his gratitude to Luca, "Thank
you, Ms. Craw."
Luca shook her head. She could not find the words tofort him. Even though her past living
conditions had been poor, at least she had people who loved her.
It was the same for Luke. Even though Allison only saw him as a tool, the Crawford family and Old
Master Crawford treated him well.
Their pasts were much better than Marcos''. They had a childhood and were loved. After they grew
older, it could be counted as a semnce of happiness when they looked back.
Even in the face of strict discipline, it was a kind of tough love, driven by their best interests.
After Marcos left the hospital, Luca heaved a sigh and said, "I didn''t expect things to turn out like this..."
She happened to meet Marcos'' birth mother and gave her her contact information. The nurse at the
previous hospital also happened to notify her.
Otherwise, Marcos would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Luke thought to himself that if Luca had looked at the information earlier, Marcos'' birth mother might
not have had to go through all of this.
Even though the cerebral aneurysm had been there for many years, if Luca had realized back then that
she was Marcos'' birth mother, he would have rushed over immediately.
Sarah would have received better treatment.
Life had a way of ying tricks on people. Marcos acknowledged his birth mother only in such a
situation.
However, there was nothing Luke could do about it. Luca had no interest in the documents on his desk.
He also knew that she had no choice but to steal the bidding document he had prepared.
Her heart still sided with him.
"Let''s go home," said Luke. After he arrived at the hospital, he asked Warren to go home and nned
to personally take Luca home after the surgery was over.
He did not expect Sarah to turn out to be Marcos'' birth mother.
Everything seemed like a series of idents and coincidences. It was already past 11 at night.
"Okay." Luca followed Luke into the car, and they headed back to the vi.
The next day...
Johann sent them good news. Sarah had woken up. After a few basic tests, her nervous system was
unaffected. Her vision, hearing, and speech abilities were all intact.
After Johann delivered the good news, he continued, "This is fortunate. The location of the patient''s
previous cerebral aneurysm was quite dangerous. It could''ve had an impact on various neural
functions."
He did not mention it when he left the operating room, considering that Luca did not have much of a
connection to the patient.
Furthermore, he was very careful when he was performing the surgery. He did not injure those areas.
Even though the doctors at Mercy Hospital were careless during the operation, fortunately, they did not
touch or leave any traces in those areas. Despite their carelessness, they were still cautious.
Therefore, Sarah''s current condition, given the circumstances, was still manageable.
Luke frowned as he listened to Johann. He suddenly felt the perilousness of the surgery.
However, with Johann performing the surgery, all these risks could be minimized.
He replied in a low voice, "There''s something I need to tell you."
"Oh, does Mr. Crawford has something else to tell me?" Johann was in a good mood. He even teased
Luke.
Although Sarah''s condition was not thatplicated, it was highly dangerous. Fortunately, the results
of the rescue efforts were quite good, and Johann felt that it could contribute to his research.
"Sarah is Marcos'' birth mother," said Luke.
Marcos?
Johann narrowed his eyes. He knew this person, but they were not acquainted.
"What do you want me to do?" He did not know much about Marcos'' family, but if Luke mentioned it, he
must need his help.
"Arrange for a VIP ward," replied Luke.
Since Marcos had found his biological mother, he woulde to visit frequently. However, it would not
be appropriate for him to have too close of a rtionship with Sarah in the public eye at the moment.
Even though the people monitoring Marcos were distracted by Gale, Marcos could still attract attention
when he was walking on the streets.
If Sarah stayed in a public ward, Luke was worried that it would cause unnecessarymotion, which
would draw attention from the Russian side.
"Okay. There happens to be a vacant ward. I''ll take care of it," replied Johann. Then, something
crossed his mind, and he asked, "So, have Marcos and his birth mother acknowledged each other
yet?"
He knew that Marcos had asked Luke to help find his birth mother. He even teased Luke saying that
they both were true businessmen by helping each other and mutually benefiting from it.
"Not yet," answered Luke. He was puzzled why Johann would ask such a question.
"The patient still needs to stay in the ICU for another day. If there are no unexpectedplications, she
can be transferred to the VIP ward tomorrow. But her condition isn''t that stable yet. I don''t rmend
they meet each other first. This is to avoid significant emotional fluctuations that could affect her blood
pressure," Johann said carefully.
Sarah was physically fragile at the moment. Her emotions had to remain calm.
Luke furrowed his brows. Was it possible to stop Marcos from visiting Sarah?
He did not think Marcos could hold himself back.
"Patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms have particrly fragile blood vessels. If her blood
pressure fluctuates, I can''t guarantee that it won''t lead to a secondary bleeding. The safest way is to let
the patient rest for a week and then arrange a meeting," exined Johann.
Marcos would have to endure seeing Sarah for a while longer.
Regardless of whether Sarah would acknowledge Marcos or not, any thoughts or emotions, positive or
negative, could inevitably cause excitement or other emotional responses when they met each other.
That would affect Sarah''s blood pressure.
"Alright, I understand," replied Luke.
Even if he could not suppress Marcos, he had to hold him back. Sarah''s safety and well-being were
what Marcos wanted the most.
After he ended the call with Johann, Luke dialed Marcos'' number.
The moment the call connected, Marcos asked before Luke could speak, "Is there any news about my
mother?"

"Yes, your mother woke up today. After some preliminary examinations, no residual effects were found
for now. She''ll have to stay in the ICU for treatment today. If everything goes well, she''ll be transferred
to a regr ward tomorrow. I''ve already contacted Johann. Your mother has been assigned a VIP
ward," replied Luke.
Marcos felt a rush of excitement when he heard that Sarah was fine. He finally received some good
news after staying up all night.
"I''m going to the hospital now.”
"Marcos, listen, you can''t see your mother yet." Luke immediately stopped him.
Marcos''s overwhelming excitement was tempered slightly, reced by some skepticism. "Why not?"
"The patient needs some rest at the moment. It''s not advisable for her to get emotionally excited. If she
acknowledges you and gets too excited, it''ll affect her blood pressure and potentially lead to a
secondary bleeding," Luke passed on Johann''s message.
