Chapter 172: Daddy’s Kiss

Outside the operating room of the Heart and Lung Center, Sean’s parents awaited the news of his surgery. Reese was also present, showing her support. Wendell, Evan, and Keith had visited earlier but left to care for their families.

After two hours, Doctor Phil stepped out with a smile. He reported, “The operation is a success. We have replaced his implants successfully with no complications.” i

A sigh of relief left Claudia’s lips; the same could be said for Sean’s father. Everyone thanked the good doctor.

Sean’s operation was supposed to be scheduled early in the day, but Doctor Phil’s flight got delayed from Braeton. The surgery was moved to five in the afternoon, leaving the Rosses’ exhausted. Seeing Claudia yawn, Reese offered, “I can stay overnight with Sean, Aunt. Please, don’t tire yourself.” i

Claudia and Sherwin looked at each other before agreeing. Sherwin suggested, “I think Sean would like that. Thank you, Reese. We are glad you are back.” i

Reese lingered outside the recovery room for an hour. After discovering Sean was stable, she went to the private room to wait. It was already ten in the evening when Sean was brought to his room. He was still half asleep but managed to send a smile in Reese’s way before dozing off thoroughly.

When morning came, Sean awoke to find Reese sleeping on the couch beside the hospital bed. Last night, when he was moved to the private room, he thought Reese was only staying for a while, and his parents would return, but as it turned out, she watched him overnight.

Reese had declined Evan’s payment to help him with his therapy. Thus, he knew Reese was not there for work, and he was happy about it. Sean called, “Hey, you stayed overnight.”

Reese woke up and smiled at him. She said, “Good morning.”

“How am I? Can I sit up?” He asked.

“Yes, you can,” Reese replied. She sat next to Sean and pulled him up with her hand.

As soon as he sat up, Sean embraced Reese tightly. He said, ‘Thank you for being here for me.” i

He held her firmly, savoring her scent. Reese must have felt uncomfortable about it since she had to gently push him away, saying, “Of course, that’s what friends are for.”

“R-l-G-H-T,” Sean replied, his eyes hooded as he let her go.

“I’ll get you some water. You are already allowed fluids,” Reese offered. “You must be thirsty.”
