Chapter 527 When Aldyn rushed to the hospital, the surgery had been underway for several hours Caleb, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared when he saw Aidyn He quickly gave him the lowdown, then dashed back to the cabin to deal with Cameron and the goons who had hurt Mr. Laurence Aidyn took over Calebâs post and anxiously paced outside the operation room while dialling Cedricâs number Cedric was in Jorvik setting up the proposal When Aidynâs call came through, the bouquet in his hand dropped to the ground.
Hailey saw this and casually thought Cedric was not being serious. She was about to give him a piece of her mind when she noticed his pale face âWhatâs up?â Hailey asked Cedric as she put down the floral crown she was holding, concerned Cedric said nervously, âBernardâs been seriously injured. The proposalâs off. We need to head home ASAP!â
Hailey asked nervously, âWhat happened? How did he get hurt all of a sudden?â
Cedric grabbed Haileyâs hand and started walking briskly towards the airport, âI have no clue. Letâs just get home first....
Cedric started contacting the Laurence family who were en route to Jorvik. He urged them to head straight to the hospital to see Bernard.
At A City Hospital the family members started trickling in, each waiting quietly outside the operation room.
Despite being a large family that had weathered many storms, they always managed to keep their cool in the face of adversity. Their worry for Bernard was evident in their tense expressions Inside the operation room, carts kept coming and going carrying medication and plasma. By eight in the evening, the surgery had been underway for six hours. The deputy director and the lead surgeon came out looking exhausted Removing their masks, they lowered their heads and said softly, âMr. Laurence had two stab wounds on his back. They arenât too severe. The main issue is his brain. It was hit three times. We managed to remove the clot but heâs still critical. If he doesnât wake up in the next 48 hours, prepare for the possibility of him slipping into a deep coma_ Veronica swayed slightly at the news. A deep coma could mean Bernard could end up in a vegetative state. He was the one holding the reins of the Laurence family How would they cope if he ended up like this? How would their grandfather handle the demise of his handpicked successor?

Veronica looked suspiciously at the deputy director. Something felt off.
She asked bluntly, âAre you keeping something from us?â
The deputy director, remembering Mr. Laurenceâs instructions, quickly shook his head.
Veronica didnât buy it. In a cold, firm tone, she said, âYou either spill the beans to me now or Iâll have someone investigate. And if itâs the latter, say goodbye to your career!â
Hearing Veronicaâs voice, Deputy Director Leeâs hands started to shake.
With so many doctors and nurses involved in the surgery, this secret might be hard to keep.
After some thought, he decided to come clean, âWhen I examined Mr. Laurence before, I discovered he had a brain disease. It was a deepâseated tumor. An open skull surgery would risk coma and paralysis. Mr. Laurence refused the surgery and chose conservative treatment. He also didnât allow me to tell anyone.
To prevent you all from worrying, he decided to go to W City for treatment. Based on our communication with the director of W City hospital, we decided to remove the tumor while cleaning the clot. The surgery has been successful so far, but given the severity of his injuries, itâs unlikely hell wake up...â
