Capture Her Heart After Marriage

Alexia's mouth opened in shock. "What..."

"No!" Chaim squeezed her hand a bit too hard. "I said I’d accompany you. Why are you being stubborn? Let's go!"

He pulled her out of Evelyn's room and toward the elevator. Once they were in the elevator, Chaim didn’t let go of her hand. Instead, they held hands for quite a while before Alexia couldn’t help but laugh silently to herself.

She realized that with Chaim standing there with her, almost all of her fears about the surgery vanished. She felt brave enough to face a battlefield in the middle of a war, let alone a bone marrow donation operation. Alexia also hoped that even if Chaim couldn't let go of Evelyn in his heart, Alexia was the one he was married to now. Plus, Chaim had said himself that he wouldn't get back together with Evelyn, and that was enough for her. As long as she could stay by his side, she was sure he would care for her one day.

With such wonderful thoughts, Alexia changed into her surgical gown and laid on the hospital bed and, under the watchful eye of Chaim, was wheeled into the operating room by the nurse.

Nathaniel appeared above her, dressed in full surgeon garb. "Ready?"

Alexia took a nervous breath. "Ready."

"Then we will begin." Nathaniel nodded with a serious expression and gave an order to the nurse beside him while putting on his gloves. "Put her under."

"Okay," the nurse said, stepping forward.

Alexia couldn't raise her head to see the nurse's movements, she only felt a pain in her arm followed by a cold liquid flowing through her veins.

Soon a feeling of powerlessness came over her, her vision gradually blurred, and then, slowly, her eyes closed and she knew nothing more...

Then, she woke up back in her room, her head dizzy from the ringing in her ears.

"Aunt Song?" Alexia tried to move, her throat dry and hoarse as she called out.

When Aunt Song heard Alexia call, she hurriedly wiped her tears and turned around. "Ms. Alexia, you're awake?"

"Mm..." Alexia responded weakly, trying to prop herself up into a seated position.

Seeing Alexia struggling, Aunt Song hurriedly stopped Alexia from trying to move and forced her to lie back down. "Ms. Alexia, please lie still. You’re not supposed to move around after the operation!"

"Okay, okay. I won't move." Alexia cried and laughed as she obediently lay still.

Aunt Song smiled with satisfaction when she saw how obedient Alexia was.
