Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 594

Joel knew for a long time that this operation was safe.

However, without actually hearing the results firsthand, he would still be worried no matter what.

Now, the surgery was truly a success.

He also lived up to Lucy’s hopes.

Thinking of this, Joel let the doctors retreat and rest first.

Naturally, someone sent Lucy’s mother, who had just finished the operation, to the intensive care unit to personally watch over her.

Since she had not passed the critical 48-hour period, Lucy was not allowed to see her yet.

She could only glance through the thick glass from afar.

On the white hospital bed, her mother lay down there, thin and pale.

The heartbeat on the monitor next to her beat regularly, but tears started to flow as she watched it.

At some point, Joel came up to her from behind.

He reached out and took her into his arms. Then, he raised his hand to hold the back of her head to press it on his shoulder.

He said gently, “Cry. You’ll feel better after crying.”

Lucy could not hold back any longer. She clutched onto him, pulling at his clothes and bawling her eyes out.

The woman in his arms cried so hard it was as if she was letting out all the worries, grievances, and fears she had accumulated over the years in one go.

Joel stood there motionlessly, letting her hold and lean on him, and allowing her tears to wet his shirt.

An unprecedented feeling of happiness and calm was like a warm current that surged through his heart, filling it up until he could not hold onto anything else.

Lucy did not know how long she had cried, but she only stopped until she was all out of tears.

She let go of him and only felt slightly embarrassed in hindsight, and rubbed the corner of her eyes.

When she saw the big patch of fabric on his shoulder had become wet because of her tears, her face turned red like a tomato.

“That… I’m sorry. I got your clothes dirty.”

Joel laughed, unconcerned.

He raised his hand to brush her hair that had fallen out in disarray, and said, “A boyfriend’s clothes are for you to make dirty.”

The doting tone and warm gaze made Lucy’s heart flutter for some reason.

The temperature on her face grew even hotter and she blushed from her cheeks to her ears.

She wrung her fingers and asked awkwardly, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?”

Joel had not noticed himself, but now that she mentioned it, he did feel slightly hungry.

After all, since they came over this morning, they had not eaten a single bite at all.

Since their hearts were focused on the person in the operating room, they had not even touched the lunch that Carina had bought them.

Thinking of this, Joel took her hand and said, “I’ll take you to eat your favorite roast duck.”

Lucy was stunned and looked back at her mother in the intensive care room.

“But…”

Joel knew she was reluctant to leave but one could not function on an empty stomach. Besides, he was not willing to let her stay here tonight. Her body would not be able to take it.

Therefore, he lowered his voice and said seriously, “We’ll come back after dinner. Tonight, go to bed at 11:00 pm and come back whenever you wake up tomorrow. If you refuse, then you won’t be allowed to come here tomorrow.”

The man’s serious appearance was slightly fierce.

Lucy could not tell if he was serious or not, but she did not dare to disobey him. Otherwise, if he did not allow her to see her mother tomorrow, she would worry herself to death.

Thus, she nodded reluctantly.

“Alright.”
