Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 610

It was around nine o'clock at night.

A group of people gathered at the door of the operating theater. They lowered their heads and

exchanged words. Four travel-worn individuals bent down and spoke to the person about to enter the

surgery.

The woman in the pink suit held a child in her arms, and the woman in a gown lowered her head,

reaching out to gently caress Ava's cheek on the bed. She spoke softly, "Sorry, I'm late."

Ava lay on the bed and shook her head, smiling at her mother. "No, you came just in time. It's just that

the babies were anxious to come out."

Joseph, who was usually wearing casual clothes when he didn't work and was now in a hoodie,

casually rubbed his sister's hair. "I'm waiting for you outside."

Daniel chimed in, "I won't leave either. I'll wait for you and the babies to come out."

"Okay, then I'll go in. Christina, you can go back home first. George, you'll soon see your two cousins

later," Ava said to her nephew, tilting her head on the pillow.

George was an emotionally stable kid, much like a smaller version of Joseph, and he didn't speak

much. "Okay."

Everyone spoke to Ava, except for Frank, who pursed his lips and remained silent. He only held Ava's

hand until she was pushed into the operating theater. Only then did he let go of Ava's hand and look at

the closed door.

Rose and Edward were missing from the scene. Edward did not come because he needed to take care

of his child at home. Rose was already at the operating theater. She took leave today, afraid that her

brother would be worried about her sister-in-law, so she planned to stay at the operating theater to

accompany Ava.

As soon as the door of the operating theater was closed, Frank called his sister. "Where are the sterile

clothes that were prepared for me?"

Emma thought that Frank would not go in to accompany Ava. It was not until she heard Frank's words

that she understood. She smiled in relief. Frank had always been so reassuring. He did not always

heed Ava's advice.

On the plane, Emma and Daniel still mentioned their daughter's stubborn refusal to let anyone

accompany her to the operating theater, and they all expressed their concern.

Then, the operating theater's door opened again. Rose was wearing a sterile suit, complete with a hat,

mask, and gloves. She held an unopened sterile suit in her hand for Frank and motioned for him to

enter after nodding to the elders outside the door.

Frank stood at the operating theater door and said to Emma and Daniel, "Don't worry, I will take care of

Ava."

Emma and Daniel nodded their head at Frank in satisfaction, and Joseph also nodded his head at

Frank.

The door of the operating theater was closed again. Joseph instructed Christina, "Let me send you and

George home first."

Christina did not object. Everyone present was tense, and it was not appropriate for George to stay

here all night, since none of them knew when Ava would finish the surgery. "Alright, I'll send George to

my parents first."

Emma said, "Okay, go ahead. Joseph, you can stay at the Yamin family for a while and don't have to

rush over. I'll call you after Ava gives birth."

Emma knew that Christina seldom went back to the Yamin family and thought that Joseph should stay

there with Christina for a while longer.

After all, after Ava gave birth, Joseph would return to the company to handle some matters. She and

Daniel would stay in Athana for an extended period. Christina would also go back with them, leaving

her very little time to spend with the Yamin family.

Joseph, of course, understood what Emma meant and said, "Yes, I know."

William pulled Daniel to sit down on the chair, and Grace held Emma's hand, comforting her and

saying, "Don't worry. I'm sure that Frank can take good care of Ava. Besides, Rose and Sherri are both

there with Ava."

"I know. With Frank around Ava, I've always been very reassured. He always knows what to do,"

Emma generously praised.

Inside the operating theater.

The lights of the operating theater were all turned on. Ava, who had just been injected with anesthesia,

lay on the operating table. The cold atmosphere in the operating theater heightened Ava's

nervousness, with the cold and glowing surgical equipment beside her adding to her fear.

Additionally, Sherri was disinfecting the equipment. The machinery emitted a clattering sound, and

each noise felt like a knock on Ava's heart.

Suddenly, she clutched her clothes tightly, fully alert. Sensing her nervousness, Sherri attempted to

engage in conversation. "Natalie is quite sensitive to anesthesia. Even a small dose can put her to

sleep. Your sister slept through the entire cesarean section. You, on the other hand, don't seem as

sensitive to anesthesia."

Ava, who was now still conscious, inquired, "Was she scared when she came in?"

Sherri, with surgical scissors in hand, reminisced and said, "Since I knew your sister, I've never seen

her afraid of anything. She's more like a thrill seeker. I even suspect her two children inherited her

adventurous spirit, favoring either motorcycles or off-road vehicles." If Natalie was truly afraid of

anything, it should be losing people that she cared and loved, like Barron back then.

However, Sherri had no intention of delving into such a somber topic with Ava.

As expected, chatting alleviated Ava's nervousness, and she said, "My sister is genuinely bold. When

she was overseas, she even fearlessly assisted the police in chasing thieves. She pursued them

through several streets until they were exhausted, and eventually, they handed over the bag to my

sister and begged her for mercy."

As they talked, a tall figure entered through the door. Sherri looked up at the figure and smiled. She

knew that this doting husband Frank who wouldn't leave his wife alone in the operating theater.

"Thanks god, you're here. I already have no idea what to say to comfort her. Sit down and say

something to her," Sherri said, though she was more intrigued by how the usually reserved Frank

would console his wife over the next few hours.

Ava turned her head slightly upon hearing this. Seeing Frank in a sterile suit, she pouted with a

wronged look. "Why are you here?" she asked, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Rose brought a stool for her brother, placing it beside him. Frank sat down and replied gently, touching

Ava's forehead and wiping away her tears that had seeped into his heart. "I know you're afraid."

What a silly girl. She was clearly scared, yet she stubbornly refused to let him accompany her.

After hearing Frank's words, tears flickered in Ava's eyes. "Could you say something to me? I seem to

be a little afraid." At this moment, Ava dropped her tough act.

Frank couldn't help but think of the seemingly bold Ava when they just knew each other.

At that moment, Rose played the role of Frank's assistant, taking a tissue from the table and handing it

to her brother and looking very obedient. Then, she quietly walked to Sherri's side without disturbing

Frank and Ava.

Sherri was speechless at this scene. She leaned closer to Rose and said, "There's a clear difference

between people. When your brother talks to Ava, it's as if he could scare her just by raising his voice.

Unbelievable. When I talk to Hackett, I have to shout at the top of my lungs since I'm afraid he won't

hear me."

Rose smiled. It was true. Sherri would stand at the top of the stairs and shout at Hackett if she had

something to say. Hackett would answer from downstairs, as if they were shouting to each other from

opposite ends of a ship. They had been scolded by Hackett's mother several times for that. "My brother

dotes on Ava very much. He truly loves her."

Sherri glanced at the two of them and nodded her head. "I can tell. Actually, everyone can see that, as

long as they're not blind."

For some reason, Sherri recalled the scene when she flirted with Frank. She remembered asking Frank

about the type of girl he liked at the cafe. Frank said he liked girls who talked less. Now, it seemed like

he misspoke.

Everything was ready, and the surgery began.

Several nurses and two doctors came in. Rose was mainly waiting to offer help at any time, since she

didn't know how to operate, but she could know when to hand over tissues. If Ava cried, she could wait

by the side with tissues and also inform Grace and the others that everything was okay.

Sherri said, "Ava, you can speak after the surgery begins, but don't speak loudly or constantly. Just

speak softly."

Frank added, "You can just listen to me. If you agree or disagree, just nod or shake your head slightly."

Ava nodded her head obediently and showed a smile.

The next moment, Frank stood up all of a sudden, leaving those around him perplexed by his sudden

action. The surgery was on the verge of commencing. What was he going to do? All eyes were on

Frank.

With one hand, he effortlessly picked up a stool and positioned it next to his sister. Then, he gently

pressed Rose's shoulder and urged her to take a seat. "Take care of yourself. If you're tired, you can go

get a break."

Rose was instantly touched by her brother's considerate gesture. Even in this crucial moment, he

remembered her pregnancy. "Frank, thank you. You're so sweet."

Frank exhibited an unusual tenderness today. After touching his sister's hair, he settled back into his Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

seat. Rose beamed like a happy fool, her heart warmed by Frank's actions.

The other doctors began speculating about the connections between them. One of the doctors named

Mila Brown had encountered Frank before, in an interesting twist of fate. A few years ago, her best

friend had a crush on Frank while having fun at Lithern Club, even pursuing him for a few days. She

remembered her best friend claiming that Frank was gay, and her best friend even attempted to

"straighten" him at that time.

During that time, her best friend showed her Frank's photo three times a day, creating a lasting

impression.

Until one day, her best friend went to find Frank but discovered Frank kissing another guy at a corner of

the Lithern Club, leading to the realization that her crush was unattainable.

After that, her best friend ended her crush on Frank. She realized that it was hard to "straighten" a gay

and gave up.

Recalling this, Mila gazed at Frank in disbelief. His soulful eyes and his concerns to Ava all proved that

he was clearly not a gay. It was clearly that he had a warm heart beneath his seemingly cold exterior.

It dawned on her that her best friend had likely been deceived by Frank. Wait, if he was Rose's brother,

then did it mean that... The doctor suddenly realized that Rose and Frank actually shared the same last

name.

The doctor quickly realized that Rose was also from the affluent Roberts family. Did people from

wealthy families all tend to keep a low profile these days?

Sherri, noticing the doctor's bewilderment, couldn't help but remind her. "Dr. Brown, what's wrong?"

Sherri replied, "Yeah."

Ava's surgery proceeded smoothly without any complications. Forty-five minutes later, the baby was

delivered from Ava's belly. Rose quickly stood up, and Frank, beside her, noticed his sister standing up

abruptly and said with concern, "Take it easy." Reаd at Draмanоvels.com

Anxious to know the baby's gender, Rose waved her hand. "I got it."

Sherri cradled the baby in her hands like a treasure. Then, she patted the baby's butt. The baby cried

loudly. "It's a boy. Record his weight." She then handed the baby to a nurse, who proceeded to weigh

the baby.

Rose followed closely, smiling. Ava, on the operating table, also smiled upon hearing Sherri's

announcement. Frank, holding Ava's hand, remained unperturbed.

The nurse soon reported, "6 pounds."

Rose assisted in dressing the baby, whose amniotic fluid-soaked body was snow-white, free of

birthmarks or bruises.

The baby's facial features were strikingly similar to Ava's, and Rose secretly mused that choosing a

spouse still depended on looks. Good looks, she believed, resulted in pleasing descendants.

Moments later, Sherri carried another baby, patting the baby's butt until the baby let out the first cry.

The baby's voice was softer than her brother's. "It's a girl." Another nurse took the baby and weighed

her.

Ava was so happy and grinned from ear to ear after hearing that, feeling a sense of accomplishment as

she thought of the events leading to the birth of her two babies.

Frank sighed in relief. Ava no longer had to get pregnant again. "Ava, thank you."

The nurse recounted, "5.6 pounds."

Rose, even more excited as if it was her who just gave birth to the two cute babies, couldn't resist

taking photos of the babies with her phone and sharing the good news in the chat group of the Roberts

family.
