Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Sylvia Thompson felt a sense of certainty in her heart.

It seemed that the old woman’s chances of survival were slim this time.

Sylvia felt elated inside her heart.

This was the old woman’s retribution!

Although she was delighted, Sylvia didn’t show it. Instead, she pretended to be very worried. She walked over to Mary Perryne and said to the doctor, “Doctor, please save my grandmother. As long as she’s okay, I’m willing to do anything.”

The doctor nodded, “Miss Thompson, please rest assured, I will do my best.”

“Thank you!” Sylvia bowed to the doctor.

Soon, the door of the emergency room was closed.

Mandel Thompson walked in from outside.

Seeing Mandel, Mary Perryne felt reassured, “Did you contact your father yet?”

“Not yet,” Mandel replied.

Hearing this, Mary Perryne frowned slightly, “What about Bob and Borden?”

“They’re trying to contact Doctor Leer.”

Doctor Leer was an internationally renowned Divine Doctor.

He had been awarded the Divine Doctor Certificate by the Divine Doctor Alliance.

However, Doctor Leer had a strange temperament and only treated those he deemed worthy.

He was the kind of person who rarely made appearances.

Mary Perryne nodded.

Mandel asked, “How’s grandma’s situation now?”

Mary Perryne sighed softly, “It doesn’t seem very optimistic.” |

“Mom, don’t worry. Grandma will be fine,” Mandel comforted.

“Mhm.”

At that moment, Mandel’s phone rang.

The call was from Sawyer Thompson.

Mandel answered the phone, “Dad.”

Sawyer Thompson had just finished a meeting, and the fatigue in his eyes was hard to hide. “Mandel, what’s the urgent matter that you were looking for me?”

“Grandma had an accident.’

Hearing this,

Sawyer Thompson’s face changed.

“What?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sawyer hurriedly asked, “What happened to your grandmother?”

Mandel continued, “She fell down the stairs when she got up to use the restroom at night.”

“How could this happen?” As Sawyer rushed downstairs, he asked, “So, what’s her condition now?”

“She’s still in the Operating Room. The situation is unclear at the moment.”

Hearing this, Sawyer didn’t care about anything else and said, “I’ll have someone book a flight back to the country right away!’

“Okay, please come back as soon as possible.”

After hanging up, Mary Perryne immediately asked, “What did your father

“Dad said he’s coming back right away.”

“That’s good.”

Hearing that Sawyer would be back soon, Mary Perryne felt relieved.

The surgery was still ongoing.

Sylvia Thompson clasped her hands together, praying to the Bodhisattva for blessings.

“Sylvia,” Mandel said.

“Brother,” Sylvia looked up at Mandel.

Mandel continued, “Now Grandma is still in the Operating Room. We have so many people here, it’s not helpful for everyone to wait here. Why don’t you take Mom back to rest first? My younger brothers and I can wait for grandma to come out.”

“l won’t go back, brother. You should take Mom back instead.”

How could Sylvia possibly go back at this time!

She wanted everyone to see her filial piety.

“Don’t you have class tomorrow?” Mandel asked.

“It’s alright. I’ve already asked for leave from my advisor,” Sylvia looked at

Mandel, “1 won’t be at ease until I see Grandma come out of the Operating

Room with my own eyes.”

Mandel rubbed his temples, “In that case, Mom, I’ll take you back.”

Mary Perryne shook her head, “I’m not going back either.”

Mrs. Thompson treated her like a real daughter. At a time like this, she couldn’t go back.

Sylvia looked at Mary Perryne, “Mom, you already have poor health. Please go back and rest. My brothers and I can stay here.”

“I’ll wait with you all.”

So, they all waited outside the Operating Room.

The time felt like an eternity.

Soon, Samuel Thompson and Edward Thompson walked in from outside.

“How is it? Did you contact Doctor Leer?” Mandel asked.

Samuel shook his head, and then asked, “What did the doctor say?”

“The doctor hasn’t come out yet.”

Edward, wearing a mask and sunglasses, sat to one side. He had been filming a night scene all night and was planning on getting a good night’s sleep today. He didn’t expect Mrs. Thompson to have an accident.

“Mom, Brother, don’t worry. Grandma is blessed and has a strong life force.

She will be alright.”

In other words,

Life and death are predetermined. Sometimes, many things are beyond their control.

Now, all he could do was try his best and leave the rest to fate.

Moreover, Mrs. Thompson was already in her eighties.

If she were to have an accident,

It could be considered a peaceful end to her life.

Mary Perryne’s eyes were slightly red, “Your grandmother hasn’t seen Viola come back yet. She can’t have an accident..”
