Chapter 593

Lucy’s mother was already getting on with age but she had to be lectured by her own daughter. She immediately felt a little embarrassed.

However, she knew that Lucy was right.

Earlier, she had been anxious and said nonsense.

So, without refuting this time, she obeyed and said, “Yes, yes, yes, mom knows.”

Lucy smiled and stood up in relief.

“Then, I’ll call him now.”

“Alright.”

Lucy found Old Fourth Cecil’s number and dialed it.

The line did not ring that long before it was connected.

Old Fourth Cecil’s sloppy voice sounded from the other end.

“Who’s this?”

Lucy said calmly, “It’s me.”

The other side was quiet for a moment.

Then, he laughed jovially. “Oh, it’s you. What’s wrong?”

“You promised yesterday that you’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together today to sign the divorce papers. Come now!”

“Oh no!” The man suddenly smacked his forehead. “Look at my darn memory. How could I forget such an important thing? Haha... Sorry, I drank too much last night on a whim and didn’t wake up till now. You, uh... Have you talked to your mom?”

Lucy frowned. For some reason, she felt that there was something off about Old Fourth’s voice.

Her voice lowered. “I have. When are you coming?”

“I’m... It’s not convenient for me now. Why don’t you wait for me a little? I’ll call you back when I’m done here.”

Since he said so, Lucy had no choice.

She looked at the time and saw that it was only 10:00 am.

There was no need to hurry, so she agreed.

“Fine, I’ll wait for your call.”

“Right.”

After hanging up the phone, Lucy’s mother looked at her in concern. “How was it? When will he come over?”

Lucy frowned. There was a bad feeling in her heart but she did not say it in order not to worry her mother.

She just shook her head and said, “He said he has some business to deal with right now and will come over when he’s finished. Anyway, it’s still early and the Civil Affairs Bureau doesn’t close until 5:30 pm anyway, so he should be able to make it in time.”

Her mother nodded at her words.

Lucy wanted to accompany her mother because she did not trust Old Fourth to go through the formalities with her mother alone.

However, she did not know when he would come over, so she stayed at the hospital all day today.

She thought that Old Fourth would call her when he finished his work.

However, even after waiting for a full five hours, no call came.

Seeing that it was already 3:00 pm, Lucy grew slightly panicky and quickly called him.

She had never thought that his phone was turned off when she called.

She turned pale, not knowing if Old Fourth deliberately did not answer her call or if an emergency suddenly happened.

Thus, she could only call again and again.

However, she could not get through even until 6:00 pm.

Lucy’s mood instantly became gloomy.

Her mother saw her expression and comforted her. “Forget it. If it doesn’t work today, let’s do it tomorrow. He loves money so much. He can’t possibly give up such a large sum of money.”

Lucy thought about it and felt the same.

According to Old Fourth’s greed, no matter whether they were divorced or not, if he knew that she had money, it was impossible for him not to come.

With this thought, she did not think about it any further.

Old Fourth still did not call when it was 8:00 pm. Lucy had work to do tomorrow and could not stay at the hospital any longer, so she left.

The next day, the heart that matched her mother’s was delivered on time.

The item was signed for by St. Petersburg Hospital, and after checking, it indeed matched her mother’s blood type.

Lucy made a call to thank Nell again and then discussed with the doctors to have the surgery next week.

This news was considered the biggest piece of good news for her in recent days.

Therefore, Lucy was in a very good mood lately.

Susan Reed and her determined her schedule. The movie shooting with Simon Wilburn would start next week.

To accompany her mother for the surgery, she took a special leave of absence from the director. She would not go to the opening ceremony and would just go straight to the set to start filming later.

The director was informed of the reason for her leave and was very understanding.

He told her not to worry and to accompany her mother first.

It did not matter even if she was a day or two late.

Lucy was relieved.

After making all the arrangements, she peacefully waited for the time for her mother’s surgery.

There was just one strange thing. Ever since Old Fourth bailed on them that day, it was like he had sunk into the sea like a heavy stone. There was no news from him at all.

By all rights, no news from him was good news to Lucy and her mother.

However, Lucy felt uneasy.

It was like the enemy was hiding in the shadows while she was exposed to the light. It was like a potential danger would jump out and bite them at any moment.

However, she could not contact him and did not know where he lived, so she could not find him even if she wanted to. Although she was worried, she could only wait.

Fortunately, her mother’s surgery date was approaching.

Everything had been arranged properly. The surgeon was a cardiac surgeon specially invited by Joel and was famous all over the world in his field.

With him performing the surgery for her mother, the success rate was very high.

Lucy personally sent her mother to the operating room in a sterile gown. Since no family members could stay there, she had to withdraw.

Joel also made a special trip over today to stay with her.

It was true that Lucy was very nervous to be by herself on such an important day. It was always much better to have someone by her side, so she did not say anything.

Carina went to buy them water and also waited with them outside.

She already saw that the relationship between Joel and Lucy seemed different from before.

However, Lucy did not tell her the specifics, so she did not dare to ask any questions.

The entire operation lasted for a full seven hours.

It could be said to be a very complicated and large-scale operation.

At 8:00 pm, the surgery finally ended. The doctor came out of the operating room and removed his mask as he said to Lucy, “Congratulations, the surgery went very smoothly. The patient only needs to go through a critical period for the next 48 hours. If there’s no rejection reaction, nothing will happen later.”

Lucy was overjoyed at the news.

She was so touched that she almost wept.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 She bowed to the doctor vigorously and repeated, “Thank you. Thank you so much.”

The doctor smiled and did not say anything else. He did not tell her not to be so thankful either.

That was because he knew that only by letting her express her gratitude would she feel better.

He turned to Joel and smiled knowingly. “I’ve done what you requested.”

Joel’s nerves and expression, which had been tense all day, loosened along with his words.
