A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 527

When Aidyn rushed to the hospital, the surgery had been underway for several hours.

Caleb, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared when he saw Aidyn. He quickly gave him the lowdown, then dashed back to the cabin to deal with Cameron and the goons who had hurt Mr. Laurence.

Aidyn took over Caleb's post and anxiously paced outside the operation room while dialling Cedric’s number.

Cedric was in Jorvik setting up the proposal. When Aidyn’s call came through, the bouquet in his hand dropped to the ground.

After some thought, he decided to come clean,

“When I examined Mr. Laurence before, I discovered he had a brain disease. It was a deep-seated tumor. An open skull surgery would risk coma and paralysis. Mr. Laurence refused the surgery and chose conservative treatment. He also didn’t allow me to tell anyone.

To prevent you all from worrying, he decided to go to W City for treatment. Based on our communication with the director of W City hospital, we decided to remove the tumor while cleaning the clot. The surgery has been successful so far, but given the severity of his injuries, it's unlikely he'll wake up….”
