The nurse looked at me and shook her head nervously.”I’m just delivering blood. I don’t know.”
Then she ran away.
I began to suspect that there was something wrong with grandma’s operation!
I stood at the door and dared not to leave.
About eight hours later, the sun outside the window was about to set.
Finally, the light in the operating room went out. Sherry was pushed out when the door opened.
“Grandma!”I ran quickly!
Sherry was lying on her back with her eyes closed.
Dave came out. Although there was no blood on his clothes, there seemed to be blood on his face and hair!
“Dave, how’s my grandma’s operation? Is it successful?”I asked nervously.
Dave looked at me and said wearily,” she’s old, so there’s a little problem with the operation, but it’s solved. The operation is successful.”
“When can my grandma wake up?”
Dave seemed to be hiding something from me.
“She has lost too much blood before, so she may be in a coma for a short time. I don’t know when she will wake up. It depends on her.”Dave bowed to me and left.
The nurse pushed Sherry away.
I followed.
Sherry was transferred to the ICU ward.
At this time, Marlin and Jessica came. They kept asking the nurse, “how is my mother?”
The nurse told them what had happened just now.
“What? How do you operate!”Jessica said angrily, “you said you invited us the best surgeon. Why is something wrong now?”
“Enough!”
Marlin was serious.
But Jessica said, “she’s our mother! We must fight a lawsuit!”
The nurse said, “wait a minute.”Then she left.
Here came Dave. I saw that he was tired. He could hardly lift his feet when he walked.
He explained to Jessica and Marlin what happened in the operating room.
Marlin understood, but Jessica still made trouble, “you’re not good at surgery! I found out on the Internet that the stent is a minor operation. You must have done wrong!”
Then she began to stand at the door of the ward and cry.
The medical staff came and went looking at her.
I stood behind her and suddenly felt a little angry.
Jessica knew that Sherry would have an accident this time, but she was pretending to be sad and crying.
Marlin didn’t look sad.
They were there so I was ready to leave.
I pressed the button of the elevator.
When the elevator door opened, there were two people standing inside.
Molly and Sean.
They were standing side by side, but Molly grabbed Sean’s arm the moment she saw me. She was close to Sean’s body and said,”Hi, June.”
They went out.
I didn’t speak and walked into the elevator and pressed the close button.
The elevator descended slowly.
I was a little heartbroken.
That day on the rooftop, I begged Sean to marry Molly. I had been thinking about that. I couldn’t forget his expression when he looked down to wipe my tears.
It was like two people in love were forced to break up.
If only he loved me.
When the elevator door opened again, I went out. I hit a broad chest.
He held me with open arms. I could hear his rapid breath and strong heartbeat. There seemed to be a faint smell of sweat.
The next second I heard him say, “June, I miss you so much.”
I missed you, too.
But I couldn’t say that. I knew I couldn’t.
Because I asked him to marry Molly.
I felt his embrace. My heart beat with the rhythm of his heart. I repressed my inner excitement.
After a long time, I asked him, “did you run down?”
“Yes.”Sean was holding me.
He was only wearing a thin shirt. My face was against his chest. I could even feel his temperature.
But…
The elevator door next to me opened.
I turned and saw Molly coming out of it. When she saw Sean holding me, her eyes were full of envy.
But soon the jealousy and anger in her eyes turned into tears. She said, “June, why…”
Sean heard her voice. He let me go and stood in front of me. He said to Molly, “Molly, I hope you understand that there are things you can’t force. I can give you money. I…”
“No!”Molly shouted.
Her words attracted the attention of the people around her.
In Sacred Heart Hospital, there were many people who didn’t know her and me but few people who didn’t know Sean.
But Molly’s rape was posted online so many people knew her.
Molly pointed to me and said,” she asked you to marry me. You promised. But now why do you regret? Why are you lying to me?”
She sat on the ground in despair.
Her tears were growing. She looked pitiful.
A middle-aged aunt came up to Molly and said to Sean,” Mr. Jessop, I know you. I know what happened to this girl. She was forced! How can you break up with her because of this?”
“Yes!”
People around agreed.
Molly heard someone help her. Instead of thanking her, she took the middle-aged aunt’s hand and said, “please don’t blame him. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t go out at night. I shouldn’t be caught. I should have killed myself. I shouldn’t live in this world.”
She began to cry again.
Molly was smart.
She blamed herself. Everyone around said, “what a nice girl! You should cherish her!”
Of course, I was scolded, “are you her twin sister? Why do you seduce your sister’s boyfriend? You’re shameless!”
“Yes! Now girls can do anything for money.”
Everyone accused me and Sean and sympathized with Molly.
Molly was smug. She was afraid Sean would be embarrassed, so she immediately stood up and said, “it’s my fault. I’m going to see grandma.”
With that, she went into the elevator.
