Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 580

Alger wept bitterly. It took him a while to say, "Our little girl hurts so badly, yet she still asked us to forgive him."

On hearing this, Celeste knew who that ’him’ referred to, and the tears instantly flowed.

No one had expected that when Crystal asked her father to come in, she wished for her father to forgive Clark.

She knew how her father gets and knew that seeing her in such a state, her father would definitely seek revenge for her.

She was afraid her father would vent his anger on Clark, even knowing she was on the brink of death.

She was still using her last bit of energy to protect this man.

Clark’s eyes instantly reddened.

In this lifetime, he owed Crystal too much—way too much.

No one knew how much time had passed. The darkness of the night had turned into daylight. The lights in the operating room were still on, and seven or eight doctors and nurses were still battling death at the operating table.

Serena had already dozed off several times. She would have slept more soundly if it weren’t for Celeste sobbing from time to time.

At this moment, the operating room door opened, and another nurse hurried out. freёwebnoѵel.com

Celeste, who had cried for too long, rushed forward. Her head felt swollen, and her body swayed a little, clearly unsteady.

"Nurse, what’s the situation inside? It’s been nine hours already," Celeste wept. These nine hours—540 minutes, 32,400 seconds—she had spent in anxiety and agony.

"Nine hours ago, the patient couldn’t hold on any longer. It’s all thanks to Dr. Rose, who tried everything to keep her going until now," the nurse patiently explained. "I understand your family’s feelings, but please trust the doctors inside. Each one of them has been fighting death for nine hours, without a second’s rest."

Celeste’s tears flowed again. She nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

As the nurse passed by Serena, Serena shot her a glare.

The nurse was confused but left in a hurry, knowing that saving lives was more important.

Serena was extremely dissatisfied in her heart. Why did this nurse keep praising Dr. Rose? How much had this nurse been bribed by Rose?

Romeo had been unable to reach Rose since last night. Before her flight took off, she had specifically sent him a WhatsApp message, saying that she was leaving her uncle’s house and returning to Reflections Villa.

But until seven in the morning, Romeo hadn’t received a single message from her.

It wasn’t until Carl reported that Logan and Taylor were in trouble that Romeo traced the clues and found out that Rose was still in the operating room trying to save Crystal.

He brought breakfast over and saw from a distance Alger weeping in his wife’s arms. They seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

Kenneth and Louisa had already said all the comforting words they could think of, but they seemed to have no effect.

Clark was supporting his forehead with his crossed fingers, looking as though he was still in agony.

Only Serena saw him coming. She waved at him with a smile, then went to the water dispenser in the distance to fill a cup of warm water. She rushed to the restroom to rinse her mouth, wanting to maintain fresh breath in front of Romeo.

Romeo brought the breakfast to Kenneth and Louisa.

Kenneth, with his head down, noticed a pair of shiny new leather shoes in front of him and looked up, "Romeo, you’re here."

"Rose is still inside," Louisa said listlessly.

"I know." Romeo looked at them and knew they hadn’t slept all night. He brought out the breakfast. "Eat something first."

He patted Clark’s shoulder and said gently, "Clark, have some."

Hearing Romeo’s voice, Alger and Celeste, who were sobbing, looked over.

"Alger, Celeste, you guys should eat too. The people inside will need you later."

Romeo’s words brought tears to the eyes of Alger and Celeste once again.

"Romeo..." Alger’s voice choked before he could finish his sentence, hot with emotion.

Celeste was also crying behind her hands. "Our daughter’s fate is still uncertain."

"That’s why you need to stay strong," Romeo said. "You don’t know how long the surgery will last, or what will be required of you afterwards. If you collapse now, who will take care of your daughter?"

Alger found the logic in Romeo’s words. Fighting back his grief, he said to his tearful wife, "Let’s get something to eat."

"I’ll eat too."

Alger had previously worked with Romeo and knew him to be a man of his word. However, this was the first time he had seen Romeo’s compassionate side.

Serena, having finished rinsing her mouth, spotted the breakfast that Romeo had bought, and her eyes lit up.

Finally, she had the chance to eat a breakfast that Romeo had personally picked out.

At that moment, Romeo received a call and strode away. "Yes, go ahead."

Serena watched his slender, gentlemanly figure retreat and couldn’t help but feel that he far surpassed Martin.

Whether in height, looks, demeanor, wealth, or power, Romeo was leagues better than Martin.

If it wasn’t for Martha filtering out Martin from the list of wealthy bachelors, Serena wouldn’t have settled for him. She certainly didn’t want to compromise herself!

Thinking of the breakfast that Romeo had bought, which probably included a portion for Rosemary, Serena rushed to finish her meal. Her stomach was close to bursting!

As Romeo finished his call, Serena said, "The breakfast was delicious. Thank you for thinking of everyone and bringing us all these tasty treats."

She paused and then exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot to save some for Rose."

The elevator doors opened, and Carl arrived carrying a breakfast tray.

"Mr. Romeo, I got caught in rush hour traffic on my way from your place," he explained. "Your chef mentioned that Ms. Rose hasn’t had his cooking for a while, so he made extra today. He hopes Ms. Rose enjoys it."

Romeo remarked calmly, "Serena said the breakfast you bought was delicious."

"What?" Carl looked surprised, then turned to Serena. "Thank you for the compliment, Serena. Your breakfasts are all from the Denny’s. If you like it, I’ll buy from there again next time."

Serena was shocked. She had nearly burst her stomach eating what she thought was breakfast personally bought by Romeo!

Romeo had his personal chef prepare a special breakfast for Rosemary, and even had Carl drive to pick it up.

And all they got was from Denny’s.

Two hours later, the operating room doors opened, and Rosemary and several doctors emerged.

Everyone rushed up to them.

Louisa was the first to ask, "Rose, how’s Crystal?"

"Did she make it?" Alger seemed worried.

"Why did only you doctors come out? Where’s Crystal?" Celeste craned her neck to look inside but didn’t see her daughter. She burst into tears and slumped to the floor. "Crystal, my girl..."

"Celeste, try to stay calm." Louisa tried to help her up, but she was too heavy to lift.
