Chapter 58
“Should be soon.” Federico raised his hand and checked the time.
It had been five hours since going in.
There was no news at all during the process, and Federico comforted her, saying this was a good thing and meant the surgery was going smoothly.
Britney felt a bit more at ease.
Federico patted her head and said, “Everything will be okay.”
“Yeah.”
Britney. thought so too.
On the other side, Bianca was pretty anxious too, and kept looking at the operating room.
“Rod, I’m so nervous.” She turned to Rodrick for comfort.
Rodrick didn’t respond to her, just kept looking at something.
Bianca called out again, “Rod?”
Rodrick snapped out of it, “What’s wrong?”
“What are you looking at?” Bianca looked in the direction he was looking, but she didn’t see anything and couldn’t help feeling a little curious.
“Nothing?” Rodrick looked away, his face still calm.

At the same time, I didn’t forget to comfort Bianca, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
With him there, Bianca felt at case again.

Lila’s surgery went really well, and Britney could finally get a good night’s sleep.
She got up early on Sunday to make chicken soup for Lila to help her recover. When she got to the door of the hospital room, she heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
She was a bit stunned and thought she had gone into the wrong hospital room.
I looked up and checked a few times, then made sure I was in the right place.
So, was it Rodrick who messed up?
In the hospital room, Rodrick was talking to Lila.
“Sorry, I was busy lately and couldn’t come to see you.”
The tone and attitude sounded pretty sincere.
People who didn’t know the inside story probably all thought this way.
But at that moment, Britney just felt fake.
But yeah, you were busy hanging out with your first love, how could that not count as being busy?
Lila was actually pretty happy that Rodrick could come see her, and when she heard him say that, she comforted him considerately.

“Of course work came first, young people should focus on their
careers. Besides, didn’t you already give Bree time off to take care of me? It was the same with her here.”
“She… had a tough time lately.” You could tell she felt a bit guilty, but not much.
Britney showed up just in time, “Mom, did you feel any better today?”
“Much better. I was actually wondering, how come you two didn’t come together?” Lila asked, confused.
Britney got nervous and forgot about this.
During this time, to help Lila focus on getting better, she hid the fact that her relationship with Rodrick had changed, making Lila think that things were great between them.
Even though the surgery was done, Lila’s body was still really weak.
If she found out the truth, she’d definitely worry about her.
So after panicking, she looked at Rodrick, hoping he could get her hint.
After all, they had lived together for seven years, so they did have that kind of understanding.
Rodrick got what she meant and patiently explained to Lila, “I just got back from a business trip and came straight here before I had a chance to tell her.”
“Oh, so that’s how it was. Then you should hurry back and get some rest. Business trips are really tiring. Every time Bree came back from a trip, she always looked a lot skinnier from being so tired.”
“She had a hard time.”

That sounded pretty harsh and awkward.
