A Contract Marriage With My Boss

Chapter 112: MR. THOMAS WORST CONDITION

Christina seemed to be really worried this time about Mr. Thomas. Instead of starting an argument with

Charles and Sarah, she just answered in a calm and helpless tone. “Still in surgery.”

Emma stood up and sobbed, “Brother… Dad’s condition is dire this time, will he be ok? Charles, I’m

really worried about dad!”

Charles patted her shoulder to comfort her, but Emma, who was even more insatiable than usual, held

Charles’s waist and cried out to him, “Brother, I’m so afraid, I’m afraid he won't make it, will he be ok?”

Sarah felt so ridiculous when she saw her acting like this, but she could do nothing but sneer silently,

Emma was really a shameless person. Even at a moment like this, she still remembered to try to take

advantage of the situation, so brazen!

Christina just stood there and looked at them with a slightly triumphant smile, consenting to Emma's

behavior.

Charles had no choice but to comfort Emma since she looked genuinely grieved and depressed.

Sarah figured that this was not the place to argue with Emma as it would be very disrespectful if the

two of them entered into a power battle right now. She decided to ignore Emma’s actions for now and

persuaded herself that it was useless to argue with such an ignorant person.

The door from the operating room opened, and a doctor wearing a face mask walked out. Everyone

expected the surgery to be over, so they all were about to gather around the doctor to listen to what he

would have to say. But given that only one doctor came out, they knew that the surgery wasn't over yet.

Sarah recognized the doctor as Daniel, and walked over to him and asked, “Daniel, is that you? Are

you the main surgeon?”

Daniel was surprised to see Sarah since she hadn't been there when Mr. Thomas was first brought to

the hospital and figured that they had just arrived. Surprised, he answered. “You’re here. The head of

cardiology is the main doctor. I’m just an assistant!”

“How is Mr. Thomas?” Sarah asked anxiously.

Daniel comforted her, “Don’t worry. The surgery isn't over yet. We should trust the surgery team. I’m on Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

my way to getting another surgical instrument; I need to keep going. We can talk later!” He added and

quickly left.

Sarah felt upset and was really worried about Mr. Thomas's wellbeing.

Suddenly, Christina mocked Sarah. “So close to him? Do you remember who you are?”

Sarah didn’t know how to answer, but fortunately, Charles came to her rescue and replied in a cold

tone. “Mom, is it time to argue? Dad is still in the operation room! Sarah is worried about him and tried

to get some information. I don’t care about it, so why are you complaining?”

Christina glared angrily at Charles, “You…” but she stopped herself there as she hadn't expected

Charles to respond to her. Frustrated, she sneered again but remained silent, knowing that it was not a

proper time to argue. They all stayed silent.

Sarah was grateful for Charles’s support and walked to him, and to hold his hands. Charles also

squeezed her hands tightly, as if he was vowing his support to Sarah, even if Christina was against her.

Sarah clearly felt his love radiating through the warmth of his hands.

Witnessing this scene, Emma couldn’t help feeling upset and a little enraged. She looked to her mother

as if they were conspiring something together, but everyone was at their spot, leaving a heavily

charged atmosphere.

Finally, after waiting for another half an hour, the surgery was done. As soon as the door opened, they

all rushed toward the leading surgeon, who had stepped out with several other doctors. Christina asked

anxiously. “Dr. Bart, how is my husband?”

Dr. Bart wiped his sweat and answered. “The operation was a success, but he arrived here in a severe

condition. If he had arrived just 15 minutes later, we wouldn't have been able to save him.”

Sarah and Charles looked at each other. They both felt remorseful and responsible for their actions,

especially Sarah.

Christina, on the other hand, was happy to hear that he was better. Closing her eyes in relief, she

murmured, “Thank God. As long as my husband is ok, I am grateful.”

However, Dr. Bart wasn't finished yet, and continued with a serious tone, “Mrs. Thomas, I need to tell

you something else… Despite Mr. Thomas's strict instructions not to tell you, given the current

situation, I have no choice but to inform you of his real condition."

“What?” Christina looked at him, nervously.

Dr. Bart continued. “Your husband does not only suffer from heart disease, but he also has advanced,

end-stage liver cancer. He didn’t want me to say anything to you because he doesn't want you to

worry… but now, because of his conditions, I have no choice. I don’t know how long Mr. Thomas will

survive!”

Christina suddenly looked extremely pale and collapsed, her whole body was shaking.

Everyone was surprised at her reaction. Emma jumped to support her from behind and called out.

“Mom, mom, mom… ” As she gently helped her toward a chair to sit down, Christina didn't answer as

she had lost consciousness. Dr. Bart, who was still with them, called a nurse to arrange a bed for her in

the ward until she recovered.

Emma was crying, now worried about the health and safety of both of her parents. She helped the

nurse to transfer Christina to the ward, leaving Charles and Sarah alone in the waiting area. Charles

was still in disbelief about the real condition of his father and said in a low, sorrowful voice. “My father…

diagnosed with end-stage liver cancer… really… hopeless?” he paused for a while and resumed, “Or,

is there somewhere a medication that we need to get? We will do everything as long as you can help

him, no matter the price.”

Sarah walked toward him to hold his hand in comfort, also looking at Dr. Bart with a worried expression.

Dr. Bart slowly shook his head and sighed, “I know you would, but you know how end-stage cancer

works. There is no medicine available for a cure. If we had detected it early, he might have had a

chance, but we discovered it too late… there is nothing left that we can do for him… ”
