He Was an Outsider
Evelyn knew that Huston was coming over, but she didn’t raise her head. She didn’t want to see him at
all. Lucy was the first to react. She sat up straight and looked at the extraordinary man in front of her
with dignity.
“Hello, Mr. Lloyd,” Lucy greeted him coldly. Her tone was neither high nor low, but it made his heart
sink.
Huston lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. He cleared his throat with difficulty and
spoke, “Mr. Shelton’s condition is stable. No need to worry. The surgery should be completed in a little
while.”
Lucy breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she still looked
cold on the surface. Her daughter and her husband had
suffered so much, and she couldn’t possibly be as kind to him
as before.
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lloyd.” Lucy thanked him and
then said, “People inevitably get sick. We know very well about
Ben’s condition, so there’s no need for you to worry about it.”
With just one sentence, she made it clear that Huston was an outsider. How could Huston possibly not
understand?
She had been in the same position since he arrived.
She clenched her fists, which were resting on her legs. She was enduring him.
Huston wanted to call her name, but her name felt like a
heavy burden on his tongue, unable to be uttered. After several attempts, he finally gave up.
She would only grow to dislike him if he pushed too hard. It
would be better to wait until Ben recovered from his illness
before talking.
He placed his hands in his pockets and clenched his fists, concealing the inner uneasiness. He looked
up, still
maintaining a calm demeanor, and said, “The hospital is
different from home, You don’t need to hesitate to ask for,
anything. Feel free to let me know anytime.”
Lucy was stunned for a moment. If nothing had happened,
she would have thought Huston was a good and reliable man,
but now…
She smiled politely and distantly. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lloyd. We can’t afford to owe you a
favor.”
Huston did not feel displeased. He simply said, “This is what I
should do.” Then, he
When the tall figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief. Although she
had lived for most of her life, sitting in front of Huston was stressful.
She turned around and wanted to say something to Evelyn,
but before she could speak, she saw the tears in her eyes. She couldn’t say anything at once. She just
took her hand and sighed with red eyes, “How did it turn out like this…”
The operation lasted for more than four hours. When Ben was pushed out, Evelyn was almost stiff. She
looked at the extinguished red light on the wall, rushed to the doorway, caught a glimpse of the pale
face on the sickbed, and anxiously asked the chief surgeon, “Doctor, how is my father’s
condition?”
“The surgery was very successful, and the patient’s body is in good condition. He should wake up
either tonight or tomorrow morning. The nurse will inform you about the postoperative care
instructions.” After more than four hours of surgery, the doctor was also quite exhausted, but he
patiently reassured
Evelyn.
Evelyn was finally relieved and thanked him again and again. After seeing off the doctor, she looked at
Ben lying in the VIP
ward, and the mental tension that had been stretched for more than half a month suddenly relaxed.
Perhaps due to the intense emotional fluctuation, she suddenly felt dizzy, and her head spun. Losing
her balance, she began to lean backward, but at that moment, a pair of hands suddenly steadied her
from behind.
She turned around and saw that it was Mabel.
