Chapter 1516
After hearing that Lawrie's bone marrow transplant was successful, Vanessa finally breathed a sigh of relief. But, the doctor continued on solemnly, "It's great that the operation went well, however, the observation period after is more important. The greatest danger right now is if the patient's body rejects the transplant. Therefore, the patient must take the medication in order to reduce the likelihood of such a rejection occurring. If it does occur, it would greatly endanger his life. In addition, we need to observe the number of cells he has in his body after surgery. This is to make sure he doesn't get an infection or any other abnormal symptoms."
Vanessa was so nervous that she didn't know what to do with her hands. "Doctor, doctor..." Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The doctor glanced at Vanessa and said, "Miss Love, don't worry too much. Well prepare to give Lawrie the medication. The side effects of the drug will depend on his body. Same goes for whether there will be any long lasting effects from it."
Vanessa had a comprehensive understanding of the situation before the operation but when the doctor brought it up again with her, she still trembled. "Doctor, is Lawrie's condition bad?"
The doctor replied, "No, from my current observation, Lawrie's situation is better than that of other patients. The donor's body was in great shape and the quality of the bone marrow donated is high. So, it's very good for the patient receiving the transplant. You and Lawrie must really give your thanks to the donor."
"How's the donor doing?" After knowing that the donor was Julien, Vanessa was a bit cautious about asking this question. When the doctor came out, she did not dare to ask about Julien's situation. It was not until the doctor took the initiative to mention it that she could not help but ask.
"He was a voluntary donor. He cooperated with us for four hours throughout the process, with no hiccups at all. He'd need to stay the night here for us to observe his condition. If all is well, he will be discharged tomorrow."
Vanessa was still a little worried since she could not see Julien in person. "Are you sure he's okay?"
The doctor said again, "Miss Love, don't worry. The donor is really fine. If he is in any sort of trouble, I wouldn't be here chatting away with you."
After getting the doctor's confirmation, Vanessa was relieved. However, just as she was about to go to Lawrie's ward with the doctor, Julien rushed over. He pulled her into his arms and softly called out her name, "Vanessa..."
"Julien, are you insane? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Vanessa wasn't sure if he would have any sequelae after the operation. All she knew was the doctor's words that Julien needed to stay the night for observations. But, Julien was clearly not complying. What if something happened?
Vanessa was almost scared to death when she thought of this. She tightly grabbed Julien's sleeve and pushed him into the ward. "Julien, go lie down on the hospital bed. Go!"
Julien originally thought that Vanessa did not know that he was the bone marrow donor. After getting out of the hospital bed, he immediately came looking for her. He was worried that she would be afraid if she was alone, thus he wanted to accompany her.
However, seeing how worked up she was, Julien knew that Vanessa must have already known that he was the one who had donated his bone marrow.
"Vanessa, don't freak out. I'm fine." Vanessa didn't want to hear it and shouted, "Are you a doctor? Are you fine just because you said so?"
"See, I'm standing here perfectly fine right in front of you."
"I told you to go lie down, you better go."
"Vanessa, I told you that I'm fine."
Karen Joy, who had been watching from the side for a long time, couldn't stand it anymore. Julien had a high EQ in all aspects except when it came to love. He just wasn't very good with emotions. Hence, Karen Joy had to step in. "I say, Mr. Kyle, Vanessa is worried about your physical condition."
Julien was still struggling to deal with Vanessa, therefore he was really in no mood to have to deal with Karen Joy as well. "Karen Joy, I'm fine. Stop making things worse."
Karen Joy thought if Lionel was speaking to her like this, she would have hit him out of anger. But then, Julien was her brother and she knew that all men from the Kyle family were not good at handling their emotions. Thus, she suppressed her anger and said, "Julien, it's one thing if you're fine but Vanessa is worried about you. You said that you don't want her to worry about you, right? Since you don't want to let her worry about you, why can't you go back to the hospital bed and lie down?"
Julien shouted angrily, "Karen Joy!"
Karen Joy said with grievances, "What?"
"Your mission for today has been completed. Now, please go home."
When he needed her, he spoke so nicely but now that she had served her purpose, he was chasing her away... Karen Joy was furious but she did not show it. She still smiled gently. "I'm not trying to nag you. It's your blessing that a man like you has a girl who likes you. You must cherish her. Otherwise, if you miss this chance, there won't be another." "Karen Joy, you can leave first. I know how to deal with things on my own." Humans, no matter men or women, once were in love, their brains would often be blurred by their feelings. At this moment, all Julien could see was Vanessa. He paid no attention to Karen Joy's advice. In fact, he felt like she was purposely causing trouble for him.
"Alright, you handle it yourself." God knew she had tried her best but Julien did not want to let her help him. Their mother couldn't blame Karen Joy for lack of effort.
"Mom, why did Uncle Julien make Auntie Vanessa sad?" Larry asked in a naive voice.
"Because your uncle is stupid." Karen Joy held Larry in her arms and kissed him. "Let me tell you, when you grow up and you get a girlfriend, you must learn from your father. Don't be like Uncle Julien and Uncle Levi."
"Why?" Larry did not understand and asked innocently with his little head tilted to one side.
"Uncle Julien's reaction to emotions is as slow as your grandfather's. Uncle Levi on the other hand is too fickle. Only your father is the most gentle and most considerate. A man like him is the best lover and husband in the world. So, when you grow up, you should learn from him." No matter the time, Karen Joy was always praising Lionel. However, it just so happened that Lionel overheard what she said.
Lionel was worried about his wife and son in the hospital on their own, therefore he rushed over after he had finished dealing with some company affairs. As soon as he arrived, he heard his wife praising him in front of his son. He couldn't help but raise his lips slightly and laughed in a low and deep voice. "Karen Joy, don't brag about me all day."
