When We Were In Love novel Chapter 32

 

The hospital was always a place that made people feel sad and hopeless. Despite the nurse's attempts to persuade Christian to leave and have a rest, he insisted on sitting on the bench at the door of the operating room to wait for Vivian's operation to finish.

 

 

He coughed ever now and then, which made Patrick feel sorry for him.

 

 

Patrick was worried for them both. One of them was his best friend with whom he had grown up, and the other was his beloved woman. He was more nervous than anyone else.

 

 

"Christian," Patrick said, gentle as when they were kids.

 

 

"Why don't you go back first? You just had a car accident. You can't be so willful."

 

 

"No, I'll wait for her."

 

 

Christian was more like a stubborn little brother. He was weak, but he pretended to be strong.

 

 

"I said I wouldn't give you any opportunity. Let's play fair."

 

 

Christian looked at Patrick childishly. Patrick wasn't upset at all. He smiled instead.

 

 

"When would you stop being so childish?"

 

 

Christina smiled too. They were honest and friendly again.

 

 

"When Vivian's fully recovered, I'll compete with you fair and square. Don't be a sore loser."

 

 

Patrick looked at the operating room anxiously. He put on a forced smile on his exhausted face.

 

 

"All right, no one is the sore loser."

 

 

...

 

 

Suddenly, the door of the operating room was pushed open.

 

 

"Where are the family members of the patient?"

 

 

With his hands covered in blood, the doctor looked tired, but he didn't slack off at all.

 

 

"I'm here, Doctor!"

 

 

Patrick rushed to the doctor before Christian could stand up.

 

 

"Doctor, how is she doing?"

 

 

After waiting for more than ten hours, Patrick's heart was in his mouth and he was very afraid of any bad news.

 

 

"Not very well, I'm afraid. Her physical condition was completely ready for the operation during the examination the other day. But due to the great shock she had today, the success rate of operation has dropped considerably."

 

 

The doctor looked at Patrick who looked like twenty years older with sympathy. He had seen so much death, but he still felt sorry for Patrick.

 

 

Patrick hadn't taken a break for more than ten hours, and he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

 

 

"We'll try our best, but I'm warning you, you'd better be prepared. It's not easy to have an operation of heart transplantation. Whether it's successful or not depends on her luck."

 

 

The atmosphere was freezing cold. Patrick felt dizzy and he took a few steps back.

 

 

Christian slowly walked up to the doctor, emotionless and well-prepared.

 

 

He kneeled down before the doctor.
