Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 86 Give Me Grandchildren

Seeing Mr. Michael's condition which was getting thinner and weaker by the day made Sarah's heart ache.

Even though he looked fine, Sarah was sure he must be scared inside.

This wasn't the first time Sarah had met a patient, and Sarah knew that all patients wanted their loved ones to be by their side before they walked into the operating room.

So Sarah wanted to ask him if Mr. Collins wanted her to call Michael for him.

"No need, Sarah. Don't do that," said Mr Collins slowly, shaking his head.

"But… what if something happens and you can't see him anymore?" Sarah tried to argue, explaining the worst that could happen.

Even though the professor had assured her that everything would be fine, anything could happen.

Like what happened to her last Saturday.

"Sarah! Don't do that!" This time Mr Collins' face was stern. Even though his face wasn't what it used to be because of his age, the old man still showed his charisma.

Sarah was silent hearing this, not arguing at all.

Mr. Collins' hand then let go of Sarah's hand, and grabbed the woman's face and wiped the tears that had fallen unconsciously.

"Everything will be fine. I still want to see you and Michael back together and give me grandchildren," said Mr Collins half-jokingly and smiling.

Sarah gulped hearing that, feeling bad.

"I was just kidding! Why do you look so serious?" said Mr Collins with a chuckle.

"Ahem, anyway everything will be fine, you will get better. Professor Sam is the best brain surgeon. Don't worry," Sarah said, trying to give strength to Mr. Collins.

Mr Collins nodded at that. He always trusted Sarah.

The two of them were then silent for a long time in the room, until the room finally opened and Steve came back inside.

"I'm going to run some tests before the operation," Steve explained.

Sarah nodded, they should probably get some blood and check Mr Collins' head again.

"Shouldn't you be working?" asked Mr Collins when he saw Sarah following him.

"I'll accompany you all the way to the operating room," Sarah replied with a smile.

At first she just wanted to see how Mr Collins was doing, but Sarah changed her mind and decided to accompany him.

Meanwhile, Steve who saw this could only smile. Sarah is really a good woman, she even wants to accompany the man who has become her ex father-in-law.

After a while, Mr Collins was finally ready for surgery and was on his way to the operating room. Sarah continued to be by his side.

Sarah had mixed feelings right now, she knew Mr Collins was in good hands, but her heart was still worried.

"Everything will be fine," whispered Steve who walked behind Sarah. He could see that the woman was a little nervous.

Sarah turned and nodded, then looked back at the face of Mr Collins lying on the bed.

The man's face looked a little tense, it seemed that because he was going to have surgery soon, he became nervous.

Sarah's hand, which was also pushing the bed, grabbed Mr Collins' hand with her one hand.

Mr Collins was a little taken aback by that, but he grabbed Sarah's hand back. His face was a little calmer because of that. He really likes that woman!

"When I get better, I'll have to find out what really happened," thought Mr Collins.

No woman is suitable to be his daughter-in-law other than Sarah!

The pushing on the bed finally stopped, they had arrived at the operating room door. Sarah knew that it was time for her to say goodbye to Mr Collins.

"See you later… father!" said Sarah looking at Mr. Collins with a smile and trying to hold back the tears that were about to come out.

Mr. Collins smiled at that, then slowly Sarah's face drifted away, and was no longer seen because the door was closed.

"Don't worry Sarah. Everything will be fine, Mr Collins will be fine, I promise!" said Steve who was still waiting with Sarah and had not come inside.

Sarah immediately hit Steve's chest when she heard that.

"Looks like you still have a lot to learn, resident. We can't make promises to patients, nor their relatives!" said Sarah, rolling her eyes. How could Steve promise her such a thing?

However, Sarah had to admit, her mood slightly improved hearing that.

Steve held his chest which was hit by Sarah and then pretended to be in pain.

"Tell me, you used to be a thug, right? Why does your punch hurt so much?" Steve asked.

Another punch landed on his arm after he said that. Making Steve hold his hand again.

"I'd better go in."

As Steve was near the entrance, he suddenly turned and looked at Sarah.

"I'll text you after the operation is over, so you better focus on your work," Steve said with a serious look on his face.

Sarah nodded at that and then turned around after seeing Steve enter the operating room.

***

Sarah was trying hard to focus on her work, but no matter how hard she tried to focus, her mind was on only one person, Mr Collins.

Today's she is not really that busy, she only checks the condition of the patient she was operating at that time, and performs minor operations.

Sarah's body shook slightly as she held the scalpel in her hand, remembering what happened last Saturday, but she came back to her senses and performed the operation well.

After the operation, Sarah looked back at her cellphone, still no sign of a message from Steve! She only found a message from Michael sending him a photo of himself again and asking if Sarah had lunch.

After replying to Michael's message, Sarah's brain went back to Mr Collins.

Is everything okay? Why is the operation taking so long? It's two in the afternoon!

Sarah then decided to go to lunch, but at mealtime, she often checked her cellphone, hoping that the message she was waiting for would appear soon.

Two hours later, Sarah's cell phone finally rang. After reading that, Sarah immediately ran towards Mr. Collins' room.

When she got there, she saw Steve was there. The man's face looked exhausted, they did the operation for six hours.

However, Steve's face immediately smiled when he saw Sarah.

"How… How was the operation?" Sarah asked, catching her breath because she had come here running.

Sarah then glanced at the bed, there was Mr. Collins lying on a ventilator and his patient monitor looked stable.

Sarah breathed a sigh of relief at that. Even though Mr Collins is still unconscious, that's normal, he'll wake up in a few hours or maybe days.

"Sarah," Steve called in a voice that sounded troubled.
