My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1726

Holding the processed paperwork, Skylar hurried to the hallway outside the operating rooms. There were people standing and sitting outside several of the rooms.

As she sent a message to Joe, she glanced at the situation around the operating area.

Since Caleb's appendectomy was a minor procedure, she wasn't particularly worried. But many of the other families waiting for their loved ones to come out of surgery seemed anxious. Some couldn't hold back their tears due to worry.

Others were comforting their loved ones. By coincidence, sitting nearby, the elderly couple closest to her were holding each other and crying.

The elderly man seemed okay, though his eyes were red, but the elderly woman couldn't stop crying.

At first, Skylar didn't pay much attention to them, but when she overheard the name Theodore, she couldn't help but look over.

Opal Cannon said, "I've told him many times to follow traffic rules, not to speed, but he never listened. Now look at what happened. He's in a car accident, covered in blood. I don't know if he'll make it through."

Warren Webster sighed, shaking his head. "It's useless to talk about it now. Theodore's been a troublemaker since he was a kid. Did he ever listen to you?"

Having a troublesome son was a constant source of worry. Every day, it felt like they were walking on a tightrope, their heart always in their throat, never knowing when something would go wrong.

Opal's voice cracked as she continued, "I just called Lulu, she said she broke up with Theodore. She won't come to the hospital. Why does Theodore have to be so irresponsible? Lulu is such a good woman. He went and cheated on her, breaking her heart."

Losing the daughter-in-law she had hoped for, combined with the uncertainty of her son's condition after the accident, was too much for her to bear.

Skylar was taken aback by what she overheard. It was quite a coincidence to have run into Alina's first love's parents here.

"Theodore's ex-girlfriend is no good. I heard she's with another guy now. Why can't she just move on and stop trying to get Theodore? She's the one who's turned our lives upside down." Opal couldn't help but place all the blame on Alina.

Warren sighed in resignation. "It's pointless to talk about this now. Let's wait until Theodore's out of surgery and doing better, then we can talk with him."

Hearing this, Skylar frowned slightly.
