The next day.
After a busy day, Anthony finally had all the herbs, medical equipment, and blood
plasma that Derila needed.
In the evening, Derila began to operate on Lacy.
Anthony and Layla were on the sidelines playing second fiddle.
After more than three hours, the operation was finally completed successfully.
Derila took off her mask, wiped off her sweat and announced, "Observe for 24
hours, if there are no emergencies, this hurdle is passed."
"I can take turns keeping watch, you go and rest." Layla urged Derila.
"I'll take a shower, I have to go see William." Derila said and left in a hurry.
Anthony wanted to follow, but Layla said, "Forget it for today, Lacy needs someone to
keep watch over here, and besides, in this condition today, Derila won't let you
follow."
Anthony: "Okay, next time then."
……
Derila took a shower and drove her car to the Grape Café.
The owner was walking his dog nearby and waved a greeting from afar when he saw
Derila coming, "That handsome guy is waiting for you."
Derila waved to him, pulled up to the door and stopped the car, then got out and
walked into the café.
Clark had brought his own coffee beans with him today, ground them up and made a
few cups of fragrant coffee, filling the room with a nice smell.
"Smell this and the tiredness is gone."
Derila smelt the fragrance and felt comfortable.
"It's been a tiring day, hasn't it?" William looked at her tenderly, "Look at your eyes are
bloodshot."
"Five hours of continuous surgery, it's true that I'm a bit tired." Derila rubbed her
brow, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
"It's okay, knowing how busy you are, I came a little late today." William handed her a
hot towel, "Put it on your eyes, it should be more comfortable."
"Thank you." Derila took the hot towel and put it on her dry eyes, feeling less tired.
"Go and prepare something for Derila to eat." William instructed Clark, "Just cook a
simple noodle dish, make it light and quick!"
"Yes, I'll be right here." Clark immediately went to work.
"Clark can even cook noodles now?" Derila asked curiously with her eyes closed.
"It's easy, just learn and you'll get it." William laughed softly, "You haven't used your
dinner today, have you? Your stomach must be upset, don't drink the coffee, drink some
hot water first and then drink the coffee later after you've eaten."
"Hmm." Derila put on her eyes and already had a cup of warm boiled water in front
of her, a cup went down and her stomach felt much better.
Soon, Clark brought a bowl of noodles with tomatoes and eggs, smiling shyly,
"Tomatoes and eggs, the ingredients that every western chef has in their fridge, I
improvised the noodles by rolling them with flour, but there are no small onions here, so
you can just eat some."
"That's good enough." Derila took a bite and exclaimed, "It's delicious, thank you
Clark!"
"As long as you like it." Clark smiled and went to stand behind William.
Derila was really hungry, in fact, she hadn't even eaten at noon, she had been
guarding Lacy, doing all the tests and making pre-operative preparations, so busy that
she didn't have time to take a sip of water.
So, this bowl of noodles was now a really precious presence for her.
William kept looking at her tenderly, and when she had finished eating, silently handed
her a tissue.
"Thank you!" Derila wiped her mouth.
William looked at the sweat seeping out of her forehead and instructed Clark, "Turn the
air conditioning down slightly by two degrees, and turn it back up for half an hour."
"Yes." Clark immediately did as he was told.
Derila wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but sigh, "William,
you're really gentle and considerate and attentive, the perfect man."
"Hehe…" William laughed and couldn't help but sigh softly again, "It's a pity you don't
like it."
"Hmm? What did you say?" Derila didn't catch his words.
"Nothing." William said gently, "Now that you're full, you can have your coffee."
