Hard To Say Goodbye novel Chapter 22

Hearing a faint sound, Nora looked to the direction of the sound and saw that the face of Murphy turned pale. He put one hand on his stomach and the other on the table.

Nora rushed to him and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue.

"Don't hold on. Go to see a doctor!" She said anxiously.

Then, she dialed 120.

As he was worried about his work, he asked Nora to find Ryan. At this time, Nora was anxious. She stared at him with her eyes wide open, without saying anything.

"Work or life is more important. How can you work well without a good health?" She couldn't help but scold him.

The ambulance soon arrived at the company's downstairs. Hearing the sound of the ambulance, everyone was guessing who was sick and the corridor was full of people.

The company was in a mess.

With the help of Nora, Murphy slowly walked out of the office. Because of the pain, his waist was bent down.

Seeing this, Ryan was shocked. How could it be Murphy? He quickly walked forward, grabbed the other arm of Murphy, and the three slowly walked to the ambulance.

The ambulance went through a special access and arrived at the hospital very soon.

At any time in that city, there were always the most people in the hospital. No one could guarantee that they would get sick if they ate grains.

Ryan asked Nora to sit down with Murphy and then ran to register an expert.

"The operation must be performed for acute gastroenteritis." The doctor ordered.

It was the doctor who had checked on Murphy last time.

Now the pain was too much for Murphy to say anything, and he had no strength to refute.

This time, he was obediently pushed into the operating room, which said that no one was allowed to enter.

Ryan and Nora were waiting anxiously on the bench outside the operating room.

The phone rang. Ryan took a look at it and found that it was a call from the top managers of the company. There was an emergency meeting to be held soon. He had to hurry back, or he would be late.

Nora asked Ryan to go back to the company. She would take care of Murphy.

Ryan left and said he would come back after the meeting.

Time passed.

Outside the operating room, she walked back and forth. Nora couldn't sit down at all. The man lying inside was the man she had loved deeply.

The red words on it kept showing that he was in surgery.

He has been in the operating room for more than an hour. Why hasn't he come out yet? It was not a big operation. How could it take so long!

A lot of questions popped up in Nora's mind, but she denied them all by herself.

Murphy was a strong man. A small operation was nothing to him. Nora comforted herself while thinking.

Waiting like this was the most torturous thing. Every nerve of her was extremely nervous.

She had promised to be safe and sound, but when something happened, she was the first one who couldn't calm down.

After a long time, her hands became numb.

The door was opened.

Murphy was pushed out by two nurses, followed by doctors, anesthesiology masters, and several medical staff. Everyone's face was full of fatigue.

She dashed towards him.

The doctor told her that the operation was successful and Murphy would be fine after staying in hospital for observation for a period of time.

Nora and a nurse pushed Murphy into the ward. After putting an infusion bottle on it, the nurse left and said that she could go to the infirmary to see her if there was anything.

With his eyes closed, Murphy lay obediently on the bed. At this time, he was like a child, very quiet, and could even be described as cute.

Nora didn't like the smell of medicine in the hospital, but as an assistant, it was her duty.

In the corridor, people were walking back and forth, and the families of the patients in the same room were talking about something. Although the voice was not loud, it woke up Murphy.

Murphy opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Nora sitting at one end of the bed. At this time, Nora looked particularly tired and her hair was a little messy.

As the sun set, twilight shone on her delicate face, like a perfect painting.

He knew that she had been busy for him for a long time and was grateful to her.

Why did this woman always give him a different feeling, but he didn't have the same feeling for any other woman? This feeling was wonderful and strong.

What did he have to do with her in his previous life? Every time he faced her, as long as he tried hard to think about something about her, his head would be as painful as a crack.

The more he couldn't control himself, the more he wanted to see her and understand her.

People who had surgery were not allowed to eat or drink anything in twenty four hours, including water.

When Nora listened to the conversation of others, sometimes she would smile slightly. Unintentionally, she turned her head and saw that Murphy has woken up and was looking straight at her.

She blushed.

"Does it hurt badly now?" asked Nora.

Holding back his pain, Murphy said, "No, nothing serious."

Looking at the expression on his face, she knew that he was pretending. She knew that he was very painful.

The company had hired the best special nurse for him, who would take care of him twenty-four hours a day. Seeing that he has woken up and has a clear thought, Nora was sure that he was fine, so she left the hospital with relief.

Looking at the disappearing figure of Nora, he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a touch of loss in his heart.

The shooting of the new play was going on as scheduled. When Murphy was discharged from the hospital, he would shoot all his scenes.

After leaving the hospital, Nora couldn't calm down for a long time. Thinking of the way Murphy looked at her, she was full of expectation. She was reluctant to leave. She hoped that she had thought too much.

Since Murphy was in hospital, she could get off work earlier today. Instead of going back to the company, she went to the kindergarten to pick up little Hugh.

As long as Nora went to pick up little Hugh, the teacher would report all the situation of the children to the parents, which was also a responsible attitude to the students.

After thanking the teacher, Nora took little Hugh's hand and entered the vegetable market not far away from the school.

"How much is the cucumber? What about the eggplant? And celery?" In the vegetable market, Nora was bargaining with the woman, like a housewife.

They went to a corner of the market, where there were all meat sellers. They bought an old hen and took it back.

When Grace saw Nora came back with bags, she rushed to Nora. "What's wrong with you? You robbed the bank?"

Nora told Grace that Murphy was in hospital.

"Your boss is in hospital. You can have a good rest for a few days. You can go to work after he leaves the hospital!"

Of course, Nora wanted to have a good rest.

She walked into the kitchen and began to kill chickens.

She wanted to make some chicken soup.
