The Runaway Groom Chapter 813

Ray had the nurse prepare the surgical equipment and assist Irene with everything she needed.

“Since you’re a member of the patient’s family, sign the surgery consent form. This is an essential procedure in any hospital, and we wouldn’t be able to take the responsibility if anything happens. So…”

“Just leave it to me.”
