Chapter 1257

‘Did Sean really give them the money?

‘Besides that, he gave an extra one hundred thousand dollars.”

“Gosh. Three hundred thousand dollars. How did Sean get so rich?

“Are soldiers so well–paid nowadays?”

Several people nearby looked surprised.

Caitlyn was even more excited. Then she went with May to the payment counter to pay the fee.

The hospital immediately scheduled the surgery once they made the payment.

Soon little Lydia, who was five or six, was wheeled out of the ward.

Her face was pale and her lips were purple. She looked haggard.

However, even though she was haggard, it could not hide her cuteness and beauty.

“Grandma, Catie…”

Lydia looked at May and Caitlyn and cried weakly.

“Lydia, be good. Don’t be scared!

“The surgery will be over very soon. You’ll be fine.”

Caitlyn took Lydia’s tiny hands and forced a smile to console her.

“Wait outside.”

A doctor wearing glasses urged and entered the operating room.

Several nurses nearby also pushed the stretcher toward the operating room.

“Wait!”

Just then, Sean appeared in the hallway, walking over quickly.

“Brother Sean.”

Caitlyn immediately shouted when she saw Sean.

Sean nodded gently and hurried over to the stretcher. He grabbed Lydia’s little hand and placed his finger on her pulse.

Based on Lydia’s behavior, Sean could tell at a glance that she had congenital heart disease.

After feeling her pulse, Sean confirmed his judgment.

“What are you doing?

“Stop wasting time.”

A nearby nurse urged Sean.

“She’s not fit for surgery right now.”

Sean frowned slightly and reached for the stretcher.

“What are you talking about?

“She’ll be in real danger if we don’t operate on her!”

The nurse froze slightly before snapping at Sean.

May and the rest nearby were confused.

They never knew Sean knew medicine.

“You can’t operate on her.”

Sean’s tone was unusually firm.

The nurse was right. Lydia’s life would be in danger without an operation.

Surgery could save her life, but it could cause irreversible damage to her heart.

She would need more surgeries to survive after that.

Besides that, the risk of death increased with each surgery.

It was why Sean stopped them.

“Sean, what’s the meaning of this?

“Are you stopping the surgery because you’re unwilling to give up your money after giving it away?”

A girl about Caitlyn’s age asked Sean with a frown.

Yeah, are you regretting it?

“Consider it a loan then. I’ll pay you back later.”

The others chimed in, except for May and Caitlyn.

Sean frowned and said nothing. He did not want to explain anything to these people.

Caitlyn and May did not say anything.

They knew that Sean was not someone who would stop surgery for two hundred thousand dollars.

They did not know that Sean knew anything about medicine.

However, Sean must have a reason for doing this.

“Tell me what we should do if we don’t proceed with the surgery then.”

Several nurses looked at Sean impatiently.

Several doctors in the operation room stepped out to check what was going on as the patient was still missing.

“Dr. Schwimmer, he won’t let us operate.

“He said it’s bad for the patient to operate at this time.”

A nurse said as she looked at the doctor wearing glasses.

The doctor wearing glasses instantly frowned at this.
