Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 223

They both jolted awake and rushed over in a panic.

A nurse came out, pushing Sandy on a gurney. She was still unconscious. Jenson and Milana barely glanced at her before blurting out, “Doctor, where’s our son? Why isn’t he out yet?” It was like Sandy wasn’t even their child. They didn’t ask a single thing about her.

Dr. Simpson followed right behind, giving them a look that said he was not impressed. “Isn’t this your daughter?”

How could these two call themselves parents? All they cared about was their son.

Jenson flushed awkwardly and nodded. “Yes, yes, that’s her.”

“Her condition is stable for now,” Dr. Simpson told them. “She needs to stay in the ICU for four hours. One of you should go with her.”

Jenson and Milana hesitated, almost like they hadn’t heard him at all. Milana pressed again, “Doctor, what about our son? Did the surgery work? Why isn’t he out yet?”

Dr. Simpson could see they only cared about their son. The daughter who had just donated a kidney to save him might as well have been invisible. He shook his head.

“With Lydia in there, the surgery was a success.”

Relief washed over them. The tension finally broke.

“That’s amazing! Oh, thank God, Luke is going to be okay!” Milana’s eyes filled with grateful tears. She could finally stop worrying about losing her son.

Jenson was just as overwhelmed. “Thank heavens, our son made it. The surgery worked.”

Dr. Simpson kept his voice short, clearly annoyed. “Your son needs to stay inside for another hour so Lydia can keep an eye on him. Right now, you need to get your daughter settled.”

But Milana couldn’t care less about Sandy. She only had eyes for her son.
