Phillip seemed to be infected by the pure smile in Ann's eyes. He kissed her forehead.
"Promise not to eat your words."
Having been hidden all this time and could not have a formal status, he was also very depressing!
While the two were laughing in the office, Ann's phone rang.
It was William's attending physician. Ann pushed Phillip away, who was sticking to her like a large dog.
"Hello, Doctor Lau..."
Doctor's words whitened Ann's face. The hand holding the phone dropped. She seemed to lose all vitality in an instant.
Phillip knew that it must be something that had happened to William.
"Let's go to the hospital now!"
When they arrived at the hospital, Dr. Lau had just come out of William's ward.
"Doctor, how is my father?"
The doctor glanced at Phillip behind Ann.
Seeing the doctor's serious face, and Phillip knew that William's illness could not be concealed. He nodded to the doctor.
"Miss Scott, your father's situation just now was really dangerous. Although it was found in time and there is no serious problem, for the time being, he needs to do surgery as soon as possible."
Ann tightened her grip on Phillip and looked into the ward, trying to maintain her composure.
"Will he recover after the surgery?"
"I can't guarantee that. Even if there is a suitable heart to transplant, the situation still depends on the patient's postoperative reaction. Your father has been weak for a long time. The success rate of surgery is, well, not high."
"How much?"
"20%."
Ann felt her vision go blank for a moment. The hand that was holding Phillip loosened, and she almost lost her balance.
When she spoke again, her voice was already a little choked.
"20% ... How is that possible? Didn't you say that daddy's body was recovering well?"
The doctor pursed his lips and didn't answer.
Phillip pulled Ann into his arms and pressed her in his chest. Ann cried in his arms silently.
He raised his head to look at the team of doctors, his handsome face cold and stern.
"Don't worry, Dad is fine," William raised his hand and stroked Ann's hair.
Ann's eyes became even redder.
"The doctor told me that you kept it from me..."
William sighed when he knew that Ann knew everything.
His lips moved, wanting to say something. When he saw Phillip standing behind Ann, a complicated and deep emotion appeared in his eyes.
[According to Phillip's personality, if he knew the truth, he would either self-destruct or destroy others. When the time comes, Ann would inevitably be hurt. I think you don't want to see such a result.]
[So, this can only be handled through Ann. If you have a way to make Ann leave Phillip without knowing the truth, that would be the best result.]
Suppressing the myriad of complicated feelings, William raised his head to look at Phillip. He said in a normal tone,
"Mr. Phillip, I have something to say to Ann alone."
Some ripples showed in Phillip's deep eye's when he saw William's calm eyes.
He looked down at Ann, who was still immersed in sorrow and nodded.
When he left, he closed the door thoughtfully.
