Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 115

As if she had sensed something, Rachel subconsciously turned around and looked into the distance, but she didn’t find anything.

Withdrawing her gaze and paused, she suddenly saw Kenneth’s face in her mind.

She wondered if he had returned to City J today.

However, instantly, she returned to her senses. She kept gazing at the door of the surgery room.

No matter where he was going, it had nothing to do with her.

The surgery didn’t finish until four o’clock in the afternoon. When the light on the door of the surgery room was off, Rachel and Theresa hurriedly stood up and walked over.

Seeing a doctor coming out, Rachel walked up and asked, “Excuse me, Doc. How’s my father doing?”

The doctor took off the mask and exhaled. Then he answered, “The surgery succeeded, but whether he would return to normal, we need to see after he wakes up. The hospital would give the jail a certification. You can hand it over and wait for their approval.”

Rachel nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Doc.”

Theresa also felt quite grateful. She finally could breathe a sigh of relief. Her hands that were grabbing Rachel’s were full of sweat.

With a gentle smile and the sleeping Monica in his arms, Osmond comforted them, “He would be fine. I’m stronger. You’ve been waiting here for a whole day. Why don’t you take a rest? I’ll look after him from now on.”

“Well, I’m not sleepy yet. Let’s wait until he’s settled,” said Rachel.

Then they saw Chapman being pushed out from the surgery room.

Lying on the sickbed, he was bony and his face was as pale as his gray hair. He was lying there motionlessly with an oxygen mask.

Rachel felt a sharp pang in her heart. She hurriedly helped Theresa push the sickbed.

After settling him down, Rachel went through the follow-up procedures. When she finally had time to sit down and have some water, it was already dark outside.

Looking at Monica who was still sleeping on the bed, Rachel felt sorry for her. Rubbing between her eyebrows, she walked to Osmond. “Osmond, I’m sorry for keeping you here for a whole day. I can’t ask you to eat the takeout again tonight. But I don’t have much time. How about you go back home first? I’ll make an appointment with you another day.”

Osmond noticed that she was trying her best to hide her tiredness on her face, his eyes darkened. Without answering her, he suddenly pulled her over and pressed her down on the chair.

“Ah!” Rachel was startled, and subconsciously she wanted to stand up.

Osmond pressed her down again. Then he put his fingers on her temples, softly rubbing and pinching them. He said, “Don’t move. Relax. You’ve reached your extreme now. If you don’t take a rest, you can’t even go back to work later. I know there are a lot of things that are bothering you and you can’t fall asleep. Why don’t you take a nap and relax a bit?”

Rachel was stunned. She didn’t know how to refuse him, so she could only ask dully, “Osmond, I don’t know you have such a skill.”

Osmond was standing behind her, changing the strength pressed on her temples from time to time. He answered with a self-mockery, “I’ve always been sitting in the office, so I naturally have developed such a useful skill.”

Rachel pursed her lips into a slight smile. “Thanks, Osmond.”

She was almost worn out, so she didn’t refuse him. Relaxing and leaning against the back of the chair, she closed her eyes to feel the tiredness surged in her brain.
