Chapter 139 Mommy is gone
Vivian was shocked to find out that Jonathan was married. Even more, he had reconciled with his wife.
‘Was this why he was never interested in me?’ She thought begrudgingly.
But what bothered her the most was the probability that Liliana was his wife.
‘No, no. She can’t be his wife.’
Vivian kept denying the possibility of Liliana being Jonathan’s wife but her mind seemed to have a will of its own as the same thought kept popping in again and again.
Unable to take it anymore, she made a bold decision.
She sent a message to her assistant and waited for the results.
On the other hand, Mariana, in a fit of pique, played along with James and pretended to be sickly sweet with him. She had been sick and tired of being harassed by him and made the bold decision hoping it would wear him out.
Only time would tell what the outcome would be.
James was elated with her reaction.
He had been expecting some bland response, he had even thought she might take it up to Jonathan and Liliana to curb his behavior. But her boldness had caught him off guard, nonetheless, he had been pleasantly surprised.
James only pushed her further and further in their game. He had never enjoyed something so much in many years.
Henry and Jennifer were busy prepping for the surgery and trying to clear up schedules to have ample time off when Jonathan and Nathaniel would be admitted, and more importantly, making sure they were well-rested and ready for the several hours-long surgery.
Finally, it was the day before the scheduled surgery.
Henry insisted that they both get admitted the day before so their vitals could be monitored for more than 24 hours before the surgery.
Liliana was agitated, despite her trying to hide it.
Jonathan rubbed her hands and kissed her lightly, silently giving assurances that everything would be okay.
The VVIP ward of P city hospital was well equipped to house two patients as Liliana had added another floor and prepared a room for her kids after finding out she was carrying twins. Moreover, it was large enough with a private lounge that Liliana could stay back with Joyanna and Kyle.
The surgery was supposed to take around 8 hours and Liliana wanted a safe place to wait without causing a fuss for Henry, Doctor Brown – who had been Li’s doctor since the beginning along with Henry, and Doctor Cox – who was the Petrova family doctor and a well renowned general surgeon.
Mariana, James, and Vincent also came to show their support. But they all had matters to attend to and could not stay behind for a long time.
Besides, since Henry and Jennifer were there, they did not need to worry too much.
Liam was busy, so he could not make it.
The surgery had started, and Liliana along with the two kids waited outside for a while with the others.
Knowing that the surgery would take a long time, Liliana urged everyone to leave. She reasoned that she would need their help after they are moved from ICU to a general ward and it would be better if the others were well-rested.
She also took the two kids inside and waited in the lounge.
Every 15 minutes, one of them would go and check if there had been any changes.
One of the nurses was tasked to keep them updated every 15 minutes, and they would be reassured with each note.
The kids had been lying in Liliana’s embrace looking somber and talking only occasionally.
They would obediently walk up to get the status when it was their turn and come back and sit down again after telling everyone.
Finally, Joyanna came back running jubilantly.
“Mommy, they will be out in the next ten minutes. Let’s go wait outside,” She exclaimed as she jumped into Liliana’s arms.
Liliana finally heaved a sigh and went outside the Operation theater to wait for Henry and the others to come out.
She received a call from someone when they were waiting and she told the kids to wait patiently and go back to the ward if she is not back.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Kyle frowned but nodded as he held Joyanna’s hands.
When Henry came out twenty minutes later, he found the two panicking kids with their mother nowhere in sight.
Kyle and Joyanna kept waiting but neither Liliana returned nor the doors of OT opened as they had expected in ten minutes.
They rushed toward Henry and said, “Mommy is gone!” which shocked Henry to speechlessness.
