Chapter 208: Chapter 211: The White Lotus Appears
Translator: 549690339
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth, in M Country, night had just fallen.
Aidan Lucas hung up the phone, standing by the window and gazing at the distant twinkling lights.
This was the famous wealthy enclave in an eastern city of M Country, where the Lucas family’s mansion was located.
The man stood by the window with furrowed brows, his sharp, angular face emanating coldness.
At this moment, a soft knocking sound came from outside the study room.
Aidan Lucas stopped deep in thought and said, “Come in.”
A few seconds later, the door was gently pushed open.
A petite figure entered the room.
The young girl had long, flowing hair and skin as white as snow.
Her complexion was noticeably fairer than ordinary people, even carrying a sickly paleness.
She had a pair of long, almond-shaped eyes that remained glued to the man’s face ever since she entered the room.
Seeing the man by the window turn to face her, a perfect, cold, and sharp face was revealed under the light.
“Ethan…” A misty layer appeared in Hannah Ford’s eyes, and her pale face flushed.
“Mrs. Holbrook told me you were here… I’m so glad, 1 thought they were lying.” Hannah had just spoken a word when her eyes turned red.
Her teardrops rolled down her eyes, making her appear pitiful against her pale skin.
Aidan Lucas frowned involuntarily, “Hasn’t the doctor told you to cry less? Why are you crying again?”
He then casually took a couple of tissues from the table and walked over.
Hannah remained silent, burying her head lower with her shoulders trembling slightly.
Her whole body looked extremely fragile and delicate, as if she was very terrified.
She knew Ethan couldn’t stand to see her cry; as long as she cried, he would try his best to make her smile through her tears.
However, Aidan Lucas tonight was destined to disappoint her.
As the man approached her, he didn’t wipe away her tears as usual.
Instead, he stuffed the tissues into her hands.
“Don’t cry… You’ll have surgery tomorrow. Once it’s successful, you’ll be fine,” he said.
Hannah’s eyes were red, her hand gripping the tissues tightly as tears fell like broken pearls.
“Ethan… I… I’m really scared,” Hannah suddenly flung herself into Aidan Lucas’s arms.
She even reached out to hug his waist on her own initiative.
“The hospital said it’s extremely difficult to find a suitable heart, but even so, the success rate of the surgery is still low… Ethan, luckily you made it. 1 was really scared I wouldn’t be able to see you before entering the operating room! I’m afraid I… I’ll never be able to open my eyes again after entering the room.”
The young girl’s delicate body curled up in his arms. This should have been a pleasant experience, but Aidan Lucas instinctively wanted to push her away.
He didn’t know what had gotten into him.
In the past, when he was almost engaged to Hannah, he had held her in his arms before.
But the woman who used to seem so fragile and pitiable now made him increasingly impatient.
It was endearing for a woman to cry once in a while; however, her constant crying whenever they meet left him feeling incredibly irritated.
Observing what he had once considered an elegant and refined Hannah, Aidan Lucas now found himself repulsed.
Aidan Lucas subtly took a step back, increasing the distance between them.
Suppressing his impatience, he reassured her, “Don’t worry, this time the medical team is made up of the top experts from M Country. During tomorrow’s surgery, your Daddy, Mother, and 1 will be waiting outside… The success rate is very high; as long as you’re brave, you’ll certainly succeed..”
