Let's Get Married novel Chapter 502

Harry is wheeled into the operating room at 9:30 a.m. This is Reynold Herbert's first operation for today. It is arranged so to relax Harry, and Reynold can deliver his best performance in the morning with relatively less stress and a clear mind.

Before Harry enters the operating room, Lily comforts him to make him less afraid.

Bree sits on the bench closest to the door after seeing her husband finally enter. Lily sits next to her and reassures her from time to time. Rex sits opposite them, looking calmer.

He has to act so in a time like this.

Reynold walks out of the room one hour and half later. Noticing that the doctor comes out earlier than scheduled, Lily quickly stands up and nervously asks, "Doctor, how is my father?"

In a hurry, Reynold hasn't taken off his mask yet. He removes it and nods in relief, saying, "The surgery went smoothly. After everything is done, he will be wheeled to the ward. Don't worry!"

Lily finally relaxes. She feels weak from all the tension. Bree puts her hands together and keeps on muttering, "God bless. God bless."

Rex walks behind Lily and grabs her shoulders. "It's okay. Be good."

"This is great," Lily murmurs, her eyes slightly red and dull. That's because she is exhausted from worry.

Ten odd minutes later, Harry is finally wheeled out, but he is still under anesthesia. From the looks of it, he is out of the woods.

Lily and Bree stay by his bedside in the ward, while Rex finds Reynold and carefully asks about the post-op precautions.

Rex types all of them into his phone's memo, including the dosage. When he returns to the ward, Harry is waking up.

"Harry? Can you hear me?" Bree calls out to him with concern.

Harry opens his eyes. He stares blankly ahead for a moment before slowly turning his eyes to Bree. It is obvious that he has heard her.

He is still wearing an oxygen mask after just underwent surgery. He has difficulty speaking, his voice hoarse as he says, "Water...."

Lily hastily takes a bottle of water, puts a straw in it, and places it near his mouth. "Dad, the doctor said you couldn't drink too much water right now. Drink a little to moisten your throat. And you can drink as much as you want tonight."

Harry agrees. He opens his mouth and drinks a little bit from the straw. However, when he swallows, he chokes, and his chest heaves violently as he coughs.

Bree and Lily are nervous. They are at a loss as to what to do. Rex takes off Harry's oxygen mask and takes a step back. When the cough gets better, Rex puts it on him again.

Harry stares at Rex for a moment, as if he is wondering why Rex is here.

Rex lowers his head slightly. Not to mention Bree, Harry is enough to make him apprehensive.

Harry is Lily's father, so Rex naturally respects him. Knowing what it must have been like for Lily, Rex feels guilty and is not confident in front of Harry.

Besides, Harry is sick. If he is mad at him, he might get worse, and Lily will worry more.

Their eyes meet. The two men care about the same woman despite their different identities.

Rex rarely feels so on edge. Fortunately, although Harry is sizing him up, he is neither hostile nor cold, but just being calm.

"Harry, don't worry. I checked with the doctor just now. All you need to do is rest." In the end, Rex breaks the silence.

Harry looks away and ponders for a moment before nodding. "Thanks."
