Chapter 178

Zoe glanced at Leroy inquisitively, but Leroy remained calm and didn't panic. Instead, he asked calmly, "Was the surgery successful? What's causing the coma?" Zoe shook her head. "I'm not sure either. The director and the others are still discussing it. I was just worried, so I called you over." Upon hearing this, Leroy nodded slightly and followed Zoe into the elevator. When the elevator doors opened, Leroy saw Caleb and Annie. "Leroy, you're finally here," Annie said as she rushed forward. "How's our Yvonne? Is she still in a coma?" Startled for a moment, Leroy said, "Aunt Annie, I just got here. Let me go in and find out first." After that, Leroy went into the patient's room. The directors and the other doctors were not surprised to see Leroy. Instead, they immediately invited him to join the discussion. Meanwhile, back at the villa, Scarlett walked out of the study with a puzzled look. "Grandma, where's Leroy? It's almost dinner time, and he's still not back." Scarlett sounded confused. Leroy had said he would stay to take care of Grandma. Why had he left? Heidi waved her hand dismissively. "Leroy went to the hospital. He said it was something urgent. You shouldn't keep him here all the time." "Leroy studied medicine for you, healed your leg, and is now a respected doctor. You should be proud of him," Heidi said earnestly. Upon hearing that. Scarlett frowned. "I understand, Grandma." She responded dismissively and quickly found an excuse to leave. Back in the study, Scarlett tried calling Leroy again, but the call didn't go through. This only made her more curious. What kind of patient could it be? Two hours later, the meeting finally ended. Leroy looked visibly exhausted. Especially after seeing the two figures in the hallway, he didn't know how to explain the situation properly. Seeing his expression, Annie's knees grew weak. She nearly fainted on the spot. Caleb caught her just in time. "Calm down, Dear. Leroy hasn't said anything yet," Caleb said. Leroy stepped forward and said, "Aunt Annie, don't worry. The surgery was a success. Yvonne just needs some rest now." Upon hearing this, the Middleton couple finally calmed down. Still feeling uneasy, Caleb hesitantly asked, "Then what were you discussing in the meeting just now? Does it have anything to do with Yvonne?" Leroy hesitated for a moment before saying, "After the surgery, there might be a scar on Yvonne's leg. We were also discussing her long-term care plan." He then stepped closer. "Aunt Annie, don't worry. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Yvonne. I'll personally take care of her in the hospital." Leroy was a doctor after all. Annie finally felt at ease after hearing this. "Leroy, with you saying that, we can finally feel relieved. But it'll be hard on you. Please also look out for our Lettie," Annie said earnestly. Leroy nodded lightly. "Aunt Annie, I'll handle everything at the hospital." Annie nodded in relief.
