The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 364

Mrs. Jasper Sr. shook her head as she muttered to herself. It was hard to tell whether she was trying to convince Lilian or herself.

The granddaughter she had raised with her own hands had poisoned her son. How was she supposed to accept something like that?

Lilian let out a weary sigh and gave Mrs. Jasper a cold, expressionless glance. She didn’t say another word and simply turned and walked away.

She made another call to the prison to schedule a visit.

If her suspicion was correct, then Vivian had just added another charge to her name—attempted murder.

Lilian felt it was time to face this ungrateful, cold-blooded girl herself.

After what felt like an eternity, the doors to the operating room finally opened.

Sean, Scott and Desmond rushed forward almost at the same time.

Sean asked, “Doctor, how is Lottie?”

Scott followed, “Doctor, how’s she doing?”

Desmond’s voice trembled slightly. “Doctor, how’s my daughter?”

Everyone else held their breath, watching with tense, worried expressions. Their hearts pounded in unison. They were hoping for good news, but terrified they might hear the worst.

The lead surgeon removed his mask. Though his face looked tired, a faint smile appeared.

“She’s out of immediate danger. We’re transferring her to the ICU now. You’ll be able to visit in three days.”

Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.

For the first time in hours, light returned to Sean’s vacant eyes. The heavy weight pressing on his chest finally began to lift.

He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them and said solemnly, “Thank you, doctor.”

The rest followed, unable to hold back tears of joy as they repeatedly thanked the medical team.

Desmond, a man nearing fifty, was crying so hard his eyes were bloodshot. His voice shook as he choked out, “Thank you, doctor. Thank you… thank you…”

The doctor gave a small nod and left.

A few nurses wheeled Charlotte out on a stretcher. Sean’s heart twisted at the sight of her pale, unconscious face.
