President’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 594 Lend Her a Shoulder

Although Max had expected that the operation would go well, he still felt worried before he heard any

news from the doctor.

Now that the surgery went well, he did not disappoint Laura.

Max said goodbye to the doctors before they left.

Fannie was taken to the ICU after the surgery and was monitored closely.

Because she had not yet passed the 48-hour critical period after surgery, Laura could not go in to see Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

her yet.

She could only look at her from a distance through a thick glass.

She saw her mother lying on a white sheet, looking skinny and so weak.

Her heart was beating regularly and they could see it from the monitor screen next to her. As she

looked at the data, tears flowed down her face.

And she didn't know when Max came up from behind.

He reached out, took her into his arms, then raised his hand to hold the back of her head, and rested

her head on his shoulder.

Then he whispered, "You can cry if it makes you feel better."

Laura couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She hugged him, grabbed his clothes, and bawled.

In his arms, she seemed to let out all her worries, grievances, and fears over the years.

Max stood there holding her with her tears wet his lapel.

He felt the warmth of happiness and calmness and a sense of satisfaction in the bottom of his heart

that he had never felt before.

After some time, she was exhausted from all the crying and there were no more tears coming out of her

eyes.

She let go of him, a little embarrassed, and rubbed the corners of her eyes.

When she looked at the fabric on his shoulder that was moistened by her tears, her two flushed cheeks

looked like two small tomatoes.

"Sorry. Your suit was ruined. "

Max laughed out of great joy.

He raised his hand to stroke her hair and said, "You can ruin all my suits if you want. My shoulders are

for you to cry on."

His doting tone and eyes made Laura feel her heart skip a beat.

She felt hot, and her cheeks were red all the way to her ears.

She pinched her fingers out of embarrassment and said, "Are you hungry? Do you wanna grab

something to eat?"

Max was a bit hungry indeed.

After all, they hadn't eaten anything since they came over this morning.

They were so worried about Fannie in the operating room, they didn’t even touch their lunch bought by

Nicole.

Max took her hand and said, "Let’s have the roast duck you like."

Laura froze. Then she turned back and looked at her mother, who was lying in the ICU.

"But..."

Max knew she didn't want to leave her alone, but she should really eat for her health. Besides, he didn't

intend to let her stay here all night because her body would not be able to take it.

Therefore, his face darkened as he said seriously, "We'll come back after we eat. And you will go home

at 11 tonight to get some sleep. You could come over tomorrow after a good night's sleep. If you don’t

listen to me, I won't allow you to come tomorrow."

His serious expression made him look a little scary.

Laura couldn't tell if he was serious or not. But she didn't dare to disobey him. It would be terrible if she

didn’t get to see her mother tomorrow.

So she nodded reluctantly.

"All right then."

Max had a smile on his face again.

"Come on. Let's go."

"OK."

The two of them went downstairs and got in the car. Because Max was tired, so Jim was driving.

Jim drove them all the way to Delicious Duck and waited outside. Max and Laura both got out of the car

and headed upstairs to a private room.

Laura didn't really have much of an appetite now. Since she was an actress, she usually ate little to

stay in a good shape. And she'd been so nervous all day. Even though she knew the surgery was

successful, she still worried about her mother during the 48 hours after the surgery.

At this time, she was sitting there totally absent-minded.

Max sighed when he saw her like this.

Max cut a piece of duck meat into her bowl and said, "If you really worried about Mrs. Davies, you

could stay with her tonight."

Hearing those words, her eyes lit up.

"Really?"

Looking at her eyes that suddenly became excited, his eyes dimmed.

But he nodded anyway, "Sure."

Before Laura could say anything, Max immediately added, "But you have to eat a lot first."

"Fine..."

Laura didn't expect him to ask her to eat. She looked a little overwhelmed when she looked at the

delicious delicacies in front of her.

"But I'm not hungry."

Max's face turned gloomy.

"Then you’re not staying in the hospital tonight.

"Fine! I'll eat!".

Laura was afraid that he would change his mind. As soon as her voice broke off, she began to eat.

With a small mouth, she somehow felt a sense of joy as she desperately stuffed the food inside.

Max wanted to laugh at her, but he was worried that she might choke, so he ladled a bowl of soup and

placed it in front of her.

"Take your time. Here, eat some soup."

Laura didn't dare to say anything, and picked up the bowl of soup.

Suddenly, she choked. She put down the bowl and bend down to cough.

Max immediately frowned and said,

"Are you okay?"

He asked as he stroked her back.

Laura waved her hand. Her face turned slightly red as she said, "I'm fine."

Max frowned, grabbed a napkin, and wiped the corner of her mouth. As he did so, he chided in a soft

voice, "Slow down! You could have as much as you want. Just take your time!"

How could Laura not know that? She was not a three-year-old.

She just wanted to finish eating as quickly as possible, so that she could go back to the hospital to be

with her mother.

Max could see what she was thinking. He knew that if he didn't let her stay in the hospital tonight, she

wouldn't be able to have a good rest.

Then, he stopped forcing her and sighed, "Fine. I'll drive you back to the hospital later."

Laura then nodded heavily.

Max did send Laura back to the hospital later that night.

He had someone placed another bed in the ICU, where Laura could rest after changing into a sterile

suit and see Mrs. Davies as soon as she looked up. It was a perfect spot.

Laura was very pleased with his arrangement.
