Chapter: 1718

Gerry's voice held a note of exasperation. “I can't imagine what was so important he'd risk his health Like that.”

Kailyn immediately knew how Laney would react to Gerry's words. Laney would probably dash to the hospital, stick to Cliff like glue, and cry her eyes out. And instead of blaming him, she might even apologize like it was all her fault.

Sure enough, Laney hung up and was ready to head out. She looked pale, like she had seen a ghost.

Kailyn followed her and said, “Relax, girl! Cliff is just playing the sympathy card!"

Cliff's surgery didn't take long. When the medical staff wheeled him out, he was still groggy, barely awake from the anesthesia. Gerry trailed behind them.
