One Night Surprise

Chapter 468 Because of One Injection

Linda had a baffled look on her face after hearing Courtney’s words. She then asked, “Are you talking about the surgery you were observing before you fainted?”

Courtney nodded with great difficulty. Upon seeing that, Linda let out a breath of relief. Linda then looked at her with a helpless gaze and said, “Come with me.”

Linda brought her to the ICU, where they changed into asepsis clothes. The automated door swiftly opened for them after it detected their presence.

“You are talking about him, right?” Linda pointed at a man with multiple tubes connected to his body. “We already had his death notice prepared to be sent out, but Vice President Hass must have been unwilling to let the man go, since it is rare for him to personally perform an operation. None of us had much hope when the vice president gave the patient one last injection. Who would have thought that it was because of this one injection that the man came back to life! He sure is one lucky man.”

The man had his head shaven and wrapped in bandages because of the craniotomy. With the oxygen mask covering half his face, he was barely recognizable.

Courtney slowly walked toward him. Her every step felt like there were weights of thousands of kilograms tied to them.

“Who is he to you?” Linda curiously asked as she stood behind Courtney.

As Courtney stood there in the quiet and dim room, her voice seemed to reverberate in the cool air of the ward.

“Lover,” she choked.

After saying the word she had kept to herself for the past 5 years, her tears started rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. She had finally admitted to herself that she couldn’t forget about him even after all this time. Despite how she didn’t want to admit it, she still couldn’t control her true feelings from bursting out and experiencing heartache in the face of death.

She realized that there was no point for her to cling on to the past and make breaking up the only option they had.

Vice President Zayn was there in the room when they entered. He quickly reassured Courtney, “We still don’t know when the patient will wake up, but he is no longer in critical condition. The craniotomy was a success. All that is left is proper aftercare.”

“Thank you so much, Vice President Zayn.”

She could finally feel at ease after expressing her gratitude to Alexander’s attending doctor.
