Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 268

Once the surgery began, Cora became fully focused and immersed in her work.

"Clamp!"

"Wipe my sweat."

On the other side, outside the operating room, the Hansen family anxiously waited.

Time ticked away, and before they knew it, it was already 6 pm.

The surgery had been going on for a full eight hours, and Osborn had still not been wheeled out.

Every time a nurse came out of the operating room, the Hansen family couldn't help but approach to inquire about Osborn's condition.

Although the nurses always reported that everything was going well, the fact that Osborn hadn't been sent out made the Hansen family very uneasy.

"Why is the surgery taking so long? Could anything be wrong?" Lydia was particularly worried.

She had pinned all her hopes of redistributing the Hansen Group's assets on Osborn's recovery.

If anything were to happen to Osborn, the Patton family would truly gain nothing.

"Mom, trust Cora. I believe she can do it," Eason tried to comfort Lydia.

But hearing Cora's name didn't bring much solace to her.

On the other hand, Byron didn't express any concerns. From the moment the surgery started, he had been staring at the door of the operating room, staring at the illuminated sign displaying "In Surgery."

This situation continued until 9 pm when the surgery had been ongoing for a full eleven hours. Finally, the lights in the operating room were switched off.

As the doors swung open, all the members of the Hansen family rushed forward.

"Dr. Lane, how is my father?"

"Cora, how is Grandfather?"

"I'll come for you later," Byron said before hastily walking toward Osborn.

After returning to her office, Cora felt both tired and hungry.

However, she didn't have the energy to search for food. Instead, she opened a can of glucose water and drank it before collapsing onto her desk, falling asleep.

After Byron sent Osborn to the intensive care unit and returned to find Cora, he saw that she had already fallen asleep.

She held an empty glucose drip bottle in her hand, frowning in her sleep.

Byron felt both heartbroken and helpless. He took the empty bottle from her hand and gently stroked her forehead. Finally, he placed his jacket over her shoulders.

In a daze, Cora could sense everything that Byron did. She faintly heard his familiar voice sighing softly by her ear, "Once everything is over, I'll cherish you till the end of time..."

She desperately wanted to confirm if those words were his solemn promise, but she was too exhausted to open her eyes.
