Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 1035 - 287: Test, the surgery was very successful! _4

Mantou had not eaten dried crocodile for a while, and she was devouring them one by one, with a satisfying crunch.

Sawyer Thompson sighed, "If your grandma could see this, she would surely be pleased."

Back then, when Viola was lying in the ICU, the two little ones refused to eat or drink, distressing Mrs. Thompson greatly.

She could not sleep for many nights on end.

It seemed as if Viola remembered something and looked up at Sawyer, "Dad, do you know about grandma's custom of bowing three times and kowtowing once?"

Sawyer Thompson shook his head, "I've always thought that she just went to St. John's Co-Cathedral to pray for blessings. If I'd known about the bowing and kowtowing, I would have definitely stopped her!"

Viola squinted, "Who did grandma meet the day before the accident?"

"Aside from the family, it seems like she only met the hospital staff," Sawyer said, then as if he remembered something, he added, "Oh right, she also met Diana Hershey and their daughter Fiona."

Upon hearing this, Mary Perryne chimed in, "Don't tell me it was Rachel Barton again!"

If Rachel could harm Viola, there was nothing she wasn't capable of.

A dangerous look flashed in Viola's eyes.

Mary furrowed her brows, "Rachel is just too wicked! How could she do these things when Viola has been so good to her!"

Viola's face remained impassive as she said softly, "Whether it was her or not, we will know once grandma wakes up."

"Hmm." Mary nodded.

She couldn't shake off a strange feeling. She was convinced that Rachel must have something to do with this incident.

Simply because no one else had a motive.

The next day arrived quickly.

The risk for Mrs. Thompson's surgery was quite high.

A full blood transfusion was needed.

The success rate was only about ten percent, hence, the consent of all family members was needed for the surgery.

All the Thompson brothers and their wives and children had gathered.

A row of people were standing outside the operating room.

Their presence was overwhelming.

The commotion caused passing doctors, nurses, and patient families to look sideways.

Normally, if an elderly person underwent surgery, only one or two family members would accompany them. Some didn't even have family present, only a caregiver waiting.

Young people are busy pursuing their careers, afterall.

But for Mrs. Thompson, so many people had gathered.

The six people at the front seemed to be the elderly woman's sons and daughters-in-law.

As for the four young men, they were presumably her grandsons.

All her grandsons were handsome, like stars plucked straight out of a TV show – dazzling and eye-catching.

They represented a beautiful landscape, just by standing there.

"Doesn't the old lady have granddaughters?"

"Whoever is her granddaughter is surely very blessed!"

"Mrs. Thompson's granddaughter is in the middle of performing surgery on her!"

"How impressive!"

The passing crowd chattered.

In the operating room, Viola was wearing blue surgery robes and a face mask, only revealing a pair of lively eyes.

Professor Lincoln, Professor Alnwick and even the dean of the hospital became her assistants.

In the entire Capital City hospital, perhaps only she received such treatment!

Outside the operating room, everyone was very nervy.

One hour passed by.

Then two hours.

Even Mantou was getting restless, going round in circles.

Five hours later, the light finally went off.

The operating room door was opened.

"Viola, how did it go?"

All the Thompsons gathered around.

Viola took off her mask and revealed a smile, "The surgery was successful."

"Really?"

Viola nodded gently.

Of all people, Jayden Thompson had to ask about his grandma's discharge. With New Year's Eve approaching, the old lady couldn't possibly spend it in the hospital, "Viola, when can grandma be discharged?"

"After she recovers a bit, probably around five days or so."

Mrs. Thompson's surgery was minimally invasive; the wound was small. But since the elderly heal slower than young people, a five-day stay for observation was necessary.

Penny Kalafatis calculated the days and said with a smile, "The second day after her discharge is Christmas."

No matter what, Mrs. Thompson's wish was granted!

The day Mrs. Thompson fell sick, Penny thought the old lady would not hold on.

Thank goodness!

Elena Williams looked at Viola, "Viola, thank you for your hard work!"

"Aunt Elena, it was nothing much."

Elena sighed again in her heart, how she wished such a wonderful child was her daughter!

After a pause, Elena looked at Evan Thompson.

She, herself, was only forty-three years old, fully capable of having a second child; with an sister-like friend who at forty-eight had given birth to three children. Seeing this made Elena's desire for a second child even stronger!
