Chapter 361 Her Gamble Has Paid Off
Rosie shuddered all over, fearing that the worst outcome would be an amputation. Turning to look at Radley on his sickbed, she suddenly recalled someone. “Where is Freya? Why isn’t she showing up yet? Wasn’t she the one who operated on my son?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, another gurney was wheeled out of the operating room with Freyal lying on it, looking as white as a sheet. At first glance, she looked even paler than Radley.
Hannah was taken aback. “Freya! What happened to her?”
“She was in a state of deep concentration while performing surgery for over ten hours, so her body couldn’t hold up anymore at the end of the surgery,” explained Ethan, who couldn’t help but admire Freya for pushing the limits of the human body. Seeing the astonished look on Rosie’s face, he pursed his lips. and added, “Madam Rosic, you really should thank Miss Kaufmann. No-one could have performed. surgery for so many hours other than her.”
Rosie looked at the unconscious Freya with her eyes full of shock.
In the end, Freya was placed in the same ward as Radley. Sylvia, Braxton, and Rosie sat in the ward, keeping watch over the two of them.
Due to her burnout, Freya didn’t wake up until the evening of the next day. The moment she woke up, she stared dazedly at the ceiling until she heard her mother’s voice calling out to her. Upon returning to her senses, she felt a gnawing hunger. She sat up and said, “I’m starving.”
Sylvia immediately responded, “I’ve made some cereal for you, so hurry up and eat it. You’ve been sleeping for 20 hours. If you didn’t wake up, your brother and I would have to ask Ethan about it.”
Freya tried to sit up while using the bed for support, but her arms were aching. She was suffering from muscle cramps after holding the scalpel for too long, and the pain in her muscles had yet to subside
even after such a long sleep. In an instant, she recalled Radley’s situation. The scenes from before the flashed through her mind, and she sat up anxiously at once. “How is Radley’s recovery going right now? Since I’ve slept for 20 hours, I can now check if his wounds are showing signs of healing.”
“Dr. Griffiths has come to check on Radley’s recovery. He said his condition is acceptable, but further observation is needed.” A voice rang suddenly, and Freya turned her head to find Rosie sitting on the other side of the room with Radley lying on the bed next to her.
Getting anxious, Freya immediately tried to get up. “Let me take a look.”
Annoyed, Sylvia pushed her back onto her bed, her voice stern. “You can take a look after you’re done eating.”
After having a bowl of cereal, Freya got up and checked on Radley’s condition. She asked Rosie, “Has he ever woken up?”
Rosie replied, “He woke up once after the anesthesia wore off. He asked about you and then fell asleep -again. It seems that he is also exhausted.”
Freya nodded. “Don’t let him move during this time. He needs to recuperate. Where is his medical report? Bring it to me.”
Rosie immediately took Radley’s medical report from the bedside table and handed it over along with some X-ray films.
Freya parked up the X-ray films and examined them under the light. “He’s indeed showing a little sign of
It’s almost glible, but it’s a good thing after all She had only passed our before due to deanation, and thus sleep had replenished her energy Looking at Rosie’s bloodshot eyes, she persuaded her perd,
you may go back and rest. I’ll keep watch over him here
Rode wanted to refuse at first, but then something carne into her mind, and she looked at Freya with gratitude in her eyes. “Alright, then, I’ll go back and get changed first. Frey, just stay here and look after him 1l bring a couple of care workers over later to take care of the rest.”
Firya was somewhat surprised by the way Rosie addressed her. Frey? This is really the first time I’ve heard her call me that
After Rosie left, only the Kaufmanns remained in the ward.
Braston had been sitting there with a sullen face. It was only after Rosie had left that he said under his breath. You should rest for a while. It looks like you’re willing to risk everything-even your own life-for Radley He knew better than anyone else how mentally taxing it was to perform surgery. The last time she had operated on him, it was only for eight hours, and yet she got so exhausted that it had taken her several days to recover
Freya shook her head. I need to look at Radley’s follow-up medication.”
Brayton was both anxious and angry, worried about her health.
Isabella held his hand and whispered, “She won’t rest assured until you let her stay here and watch.”
“By the way, how is Jolly doing?”
Braxton’s expression cleared a bit at the mention of Jolly. “His wounds have healed already, but we’re not taking him home for the time being. There is no one at home to take care of him, so it’s better to let him. stay here in the hospital. There are bodyguards to watch over him, which is more reassuring.”
Freya nodded. Knowing that her son was safe, she could finally let go of her worries.
Sylvia and Braxton stayed with Freya at the hospital until the evening before leaving.
In the evening, Radley woke up again. Due to the sedative in the intravenous medication he received, he was still in a somewhat drowsy state when he woke up. Seeing his beloved woman sitting by the bedside, he curled his lips into a faint smile. Then, he raised his hand, wanting to hold her hand.
Freya had been looking at how to adjust his medication so that his wounds would heal faster. When she saw his hand reaching out, she was slightly startled. She looked up at the weak smile on his face, upon which a smile appeared on her face as well. “You’re awake.”
Radley’s voice was hoarse from having slept for a long time. “Uh-huh. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Don’t worry. The surgery was a success. I have already seen your X-ray films today, and there are signs of recovery Freya comforted him in a soft voice while holding his hand.
Radley lowered his gaze, feeling as though all his senses were focused on that hand. Her hand was so warm that it made his heart flutter, and this was the first time she had taken the initiative to hold his hand after such a long time. He said with a smile, “You saved me this time.”
Freya jokingly replied, “Yeah. How are you planning to repay me, then?”
Radley thought about it for a moment, his expression serious. He replied, “Perhaps the only way I can repay you is by marrying you.”
Freya burst into a chuckle at his words.
The atmosphere between them was peculiar as if they had just narrowly escaped death. Since the fire. Freya had been anxious and worried, but now, she finally relaxed.
For the next couple of weeks, Rosie rarely came to the hospital. She only came once a day to visit Radley before leaving, and she even forbade Hannah to go to the hospital.
Freya spent every day by Radley’s side, constantly monitoring his condition and watching over him to make sure that he stayed in bed. They were together day and night, and it felt as if they had never spent as much time together in the past few years as they had over the past few days.
Radley’s wounds showed clear signs of healing within about two weeks, and his recovery was going well. Whenever Freya looked at the X-ray films, she felt a sense of relief. It seemed that her gamble had paid off -she had made the right choice by taking her chances with the 51-percent probability.
