“Go away, damn it, men were just a burden to me now. I just wanted to focus on my career. All those men could just get lost.” Danica said coolly.

Iris nodded in agreement, “When you be good enough, men will just be the icing on the cake, and you won’t everck men around you.”

Rachel looked left and right, nodded thoughtfully, and said, “Looks like I’m just not good enough. I should learn from you and Nica, Ira, so that men will want to like me too.”

Iris patted her head with relief, “What a good girl, you really learned fast.”

Hospital.

Megan’s surgery started at 8 p.m. and didn’t finish until almost 2 a.m.

Charlie and Heriberto had been waiting outside the operating room.

When the surgery was over and a few top expert doctors pulled open the heavy operating room door and walked out, the father and son both breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, the surgery was a sess, at least Megan’s life was saved.

“Thanks for your hard work. How was my wife?”

The father and son got up and went over, and Charlie asked the doctor.

“The tumor in Madam Hale’s brain was alreadypletely removed, so the surgery was considered a sess. Right now, all of Madam Hale’s vital signs were stable, but…”

The doctor changed the subject and seemed like he wanted to say something but stopped.

“But what?” Charlie pressed.

“The tumor we removed was too big, and the neurons and brain cells that were pressed by the tumor before might have been damaged, so Madam Hale would probably have some new symptoms after she woke up.” the doctor said.

“For example?” Heriberto asked.

“Blindness, deafness, or losing the ability to speak, or maybe paralysis, or bing mentally impaired, all of these were possible,” the doctor answered.

Heriberto frowned, but he had to ept this fact.

Maybe this was God’s punishment for Megan all these years.

“Thanks for your hard work!”

The doctor left, and half an hourter, Megan was wheeled into the VIP intensive care room.

Because of the anesthesia, Megan probably wouldn’t wake up until morning.

The person was already fine, Heriberto didn’t need to stay at the hospital anymore.

Walking out of the hospital building, Heriberto came to the car. Curtis opened the door for him, but he wasn’t in a hurry to get in and leave.

He asked Curtis for a cigarette, lit it, and stood by the car door smoking.

In the middle of the night, time and space were quiet, and the night was deep.

Heriberto took a deep drag on the cigarette between his fingers, then tilted his head back, blowing out pale smoke as he looked up at the dark night sky.

Maybe the city lights were just too bright, he actually couldn’t find a single star.

He remembered when he used to live with Eleanor at Southdeer Manor, and how he once got up in the middle of the night and identally saw Iris standing on the balcony counting

stars.

He was four years older than Iris.

When Iris was fourteen and got taken in by Eleanor, he had already gone abroad to study

Back then, he only came back to be with Eleanor during the New Year, so he didn’t actually spend much time with Iris.
