Chapter 2082


    Watching his mother on the stretcher bed, Martin was lost in a tumult of emotions. Nevertheless, he


    managed to voice his gratitude to the doctor for the treatment.


    "Thank you, guys. I really appreciate the hard work."


    For the past couple of hours, a team of specialists from various departments had coborated to


    perform a life-saving surgery on his mother.


    "No need to thank us, it''s what we''re here for," replied the doctors with a nod before leaving.


    The nurse wheeled Florence into the ICU for further observation.

    "Martin."


    Serena''s gentle voice called out to him from near the elevator.


    Lifting his gaze, Martin saw her, poised and graceful, as Dora pushed her wheelchair toward him.


    He quickly walked over to Serena and crouched beside her tenderly. "Did you hear? The doctors say


    Mom''s going to make it. But whether she''ll be back to her old self, well, that''s in her own hands now."


    "It must be your devotion and our undying love that moved the heavens. That''s why she''s still with us."


    "Your arrival seems to have saved Mom''s life. Does that mean you''re our little lucky charm?" Martin


    ruffled Serena''s hair affectionately before taking over from Dora and pushing the wheelchair into the


    elevator. "Now, let''s go see Diana. Maybe your charm can turn her luck around too."


    "Putting it that way makes me feel a bit pressured," said Serena with a lightugh.


    But Martin failed to notice the strain behind her smile.


    "How''s Diana doing? What did the doctors say?" Serena inquired from her wheelchair.


    "It''s touch and go. The specialists are doing everything they can."


    "And Dad?"


    "Dad''s awake in the ICU, but he doesn''t want to see me. He was really angry."


    Martin pushed Serena''s wheelchair to the twelfth floor where the maid, Lana, was waiting outside the


    operating room.


    Lana''s expression turned sour upon seeing Serena. Martin''s mother and sister were in trouble because


    of her, and here she was, showing up as if nothing had happened. Even if it was Martin''s wish, didn''t


    she have any self-awareness?


    Setting aside whether she genuinely wanted to visit Diana, considering Diana despised her so much,


    what if her condition worsened from the shock of seeing her?


    Lana couldn''t fathom what Martin was thinking by bringing Serena along.


    Reluctantly, Lana greeted them nheless.


    "Mr. Martin, Ms. Serena, Ms. Diana is still in surgery."


    Lana muttered, her mood dampened, but to keep her job, she reluctantly corrected herself, "Madam."


    Serena''s eagerness for the title ''Madame'' betrayed her tant ambition, utterly unmasked. Co?tent of

    Just then, the elevator dinged open and Fitch emerged, looking frantic. His temper red upon spotting


    Serena.


    "What is she doing here?" Fitch challenged Martin, his voice thick with anger.
