Sean's surgery went on for about 10 hours.
The anesthetist topped up his local anesthesia over and over throughout the whole 10 hours.
Initially, Sean was under the impression that this would only be minor surgery since he did not fracture
his bones at all, and all the doctors needed to do was suture his nerves and vessels together, so it
would not take too long.
However, as the duration of the surgery lengthened progressively, even the surgeons began to slow
down.
Sean could not help wondering if he would lose his hands after all.
Why was the surgery taking so long? 10 hours...
To his knowledge, not even a heart transplant would exceed 20 hours.
Sean could not help asking the doctors how serious his condition was, slurring his speech a little
because of the effects of the anesthesia.
The chief surgeon glanced at him as though he wanted to say something but did not volunteer any
information.
Finally, after ten hours, Sean was wheeled out of the operation room.
Strangely enough, the first person he hoped to see standing outside the operation room...was Jim.He
remembered the worried look on Jim's face before he was brought in for surgery, and because of this,
he wanted to see Jim and tell him that he would be fine.
Jim was nowhere to be found.
Not only that, but even Assistant Coleman was missing.
The only person waiting outside was a woman in a white dress, who approached him as soon as she
saw him emerge from the operation room.
"Nice to meet you, Mr.Wheeler.”
"My name is Kate Miller, and I work for Mr.Luke Jones.I've been sent here to escort you home."
With that, she gestured to the men standing behind her without even waiting for Sean's reply.
"Boys, let's bring him home!"
As soon as she finished her sentence, a group of men surged forward and wheeled Sean's bed into the
elevator.
By the time the elevator doors slid shut, Sean was still entranced in his stupor.He stared dazedly at the
woman standing next to him.
"You..."
"My name is Kate."
The woman lowered her head to glance at him.
"I know you have many questions, but you must come with me now.”
"Your brother Jim is very busy doesn't have the time to look after you, but you're not going to be safe in
the hospital.”
"Mr.Jones can provide you with top-notch medical facilities and a safe environment for your recovery,
so coming with us will only benefit you."
Then, she fixed her gaze on Sean's face and asked, "Is there anything else you'd like me to answer?"
Sean paused for a moment.
"What...What's Jim so busy over? Is he busy tending to Bonnie?"
Kate curled her lips into a smile.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the information for that.I had only been given orders to escort you to your
destination.If you really want to know, you may ask Mr.Jones yourself after you arrive there."
Then, she turned her head away and did not give Sean a second glance.
Sean furrowed his brows as he stared at the woman's back, the outline of her short hair making her
look even more serious and intense.
What was going on? Why was Jim not waiting outside the operation room...and instead had handed
him over to Luke's subordinates? Landry Mansion.
Luna was staring daggers at Jim as she snarled, "Where the hell did you hide that wretched Sean
Wheeler? I've already told you that this man is a manipulative crook, and you shouldn't continue being
in touch with him!"
Jim leaned against the sofa lazily, sneering.
