Chapter 372
“Colin, the surgery was successful, right?”
“Yes.”
I was so thrilled that I didn’t care about the presence of others. I rushed to hug Colin and exclaimed, “Hurray! It succeeded!”
He was worried I would fall, so he hurriedly hugged me back and smiled happily.
Mom reminded me to be polite before wiping away her tears and leaning against Dad.
Aunt Mel was so pleased that she pulled up Uncle Austin’s clothes to wipe her tears. She cried uncontrollably into his shoulder.
We may seem back to normal after Felix’s car accident, but we were all under pressure. Our heart sank when he couldn’t see or walk.
Even though we knew what was going on and let things run their course, we felt regretful.
After all, Felix had always performed admirably and made his family proud. Now that the surgery was successful, he could finally see again and be the excellent guy he once was.
I felt overjoyed for him, Colin, and even myself.
Felix was sent to the ward. He slept silently, with his hair shaved and his body covered in numerous tubes. The IV drip dripped at a constant speed. His sleeping appearance was quite similar to that of an angel.
He would really be like one if he hadn’t done so many hateful things to me.
We stayed beside his hospital bed watchfully, waiting to witness the moment when the
miracle would happen.
At 9:00 pm, Felix let out a faint groan, jolting us up from our drowsiness and exhaustion. We got excited and surrounded the bed.
The doctor came over. After an examination, he said there was nothing wrong with the surgery and asked us to take good care of the patient. Felix’s eyes and legs would gradually
recover.
To be honest, we were disappointed by what the doctor said. According to our understanding, if the surgery was successful, he should be able to see us as soon as he awoke.
However, he was still unable to see anything. It was pointless to be disappointed, so we could only wait.

We waited two days, hoping Felix would suddenly proclaim he could see everything.
Unfortunately, he didn’t. Felix’s eyes remained closed for a long time, and he couldn’t move his legs. We wouldn’t even know he was awake if he didn’t speak.
He went silent with each passing day, and my heart plummeted with it.
Colin asked the doctor multiple times, but he stated that surgery was risky. No matter how skilled George was, his success rate couldn’t be 100%. He asked us to keep an eye on Felix. Perhaps Felix would be able to see again once his wound had healed.
We received the same response as before. Aside from that, we couldn’t do anything.
I secretly cried several times out of anxiety. Colin was also restless.
Eight days went by in the blink of an eye. Felix’s scalp developed stubble, and his wound healed well. His cheeks gradually turned rosy, but he still couldn’t see anything.
Colin and I went to the doctor again, but he abruptly changed his attitude. He stated that we were the ones who had invited an outside expert to perform the surgery. The two doctors in their department were only in charge of the preparation and end work of the surgery. The hospital wouldn’t be responsible if Felix didn’t achieve the expected results. He asked us to call George.
The doctor’s words weren’t kind or responsible, but it was true, albeit a bit shameless.
If Felix’s surgery were successful, the hospital’s upper management would publicize it as a typical case and increase their hospital’s influence; if it failed, they would only blame the experts and claim it had nothing to do with them..
Although it was the reality, their thoughts were incomprehensive. They shouldn’t be so irresponsible.
