Chapter 387 Bone Marrow Transplant Surgery Scheduled for Next Weekend Penelope closed her eyes a bit, gripping Kelvin's shirt tighter.
Just then, the hospital room door swung open.
The doctor and nurses walked in. "Mr. Davis..." They froze, then quickly turned around. "Sorry, Mr. Davis, we didn't see anything! We're leaving now! Please continue!" The nurses hurried out too.
Penelope covered her face, almost crying.
She was mortified! She wanted to explain that she and Kelvin hadn't done anything; she had just tripped and fallen onto the bed, and Kelvin had accidentally ended up on top of her.
It was really just a coincidence! "It's all your fault!" Penelope glared at Kelvin. "How can I face anyone now!" She pounded his chest a few times.
"I didn't do anything," Kelvin said, looking innocent. "You fell and pulleddown." "You tricked Lucy into signing the contract first!" "I told you, she did it willingly." Penelope gritted her teeth. "So it's all my fault?" "Not blaming you," Kelvin said, raising an eyebrow. "How could I blyou?" She pushed him hard. "Get off!" Kelvin finally stood up.
He smoothed his shirt. "It's okay, Penelope. Even if they saw, they won't say anything." "They won't say it to our faces, but who knows what they'll think in private!" "Let them be curious. We're married, even if we were doing that, it's fine." Penelope was so embarrassed she wanted to cover his mouth.

Kelvin adjusted her dress. "Get yourself together, I'll call the doctor back in." She looked down, her face blushed.
Usually, only a nurse would cfor rounds, and the doctor would visit twice a day, with just a few people around.
Why did a whole group cthis time? And they caught her and Kelvin in such an awkward situation! Kelvin walked to the door, his voice low, "Cin." The doctor and nurses re-entered the room, acting like nothing happened.
"Mr. Davis, Mrs. Davis," the doctor adjusted his glasses. "We're here to confirm the surgery date for Miss Lucy." Hearing this, Penelope forgot her embarrassment and didn't correct the doctor calling her "Mrs. Davis." "Is Lucy ready for surgery?" she asked, "When can it be done?" "The bone marrow match was successful, Mr. Davis is willing to cooperate for the transplant, and Miss Lucy's condition is suitable for surgery. Both are stable, so we can proceed. We need to discuss the timing with you." "The sooner, the better!" Penelope said quickly, "What's the earliest we can do it?" She was worried that delaying it would worsen Lucy's condition.
She didn't want to be with Kelvin every day, let alone share a bed at night! The doctor flipped through his papers. "The earliest we can do it is next weekend." Kelvin stayed calm. "It's not about speed, but the right timing. When would that be?" He knew what Penelope was thinking.

He wouldn't delay or rush it.
"Next weekend works," the doctor said. "We're confident in the surgery's success." "Good." "Mr. Davis, Mrs. Davis, please sign the consent form." Penelope signed without hesitation.
Kelvin signed too.
Their names were together on the form.
Penelope realized they were still legally married.
Lucy's surgery needed both their signatures.
They weren't divorced! She looked away. "Thank you, doctor. Please do your best to make Lucy healthy again." "Rest assured, Mrs. Davis." With the surgery date set, Penelope felt relieved.
But thinking about young Lucy undergoing major surgery made her heart ache.
There were so many uncertainties in surgery, what if...
No, Penelope shook her head. There wouldn't be any accidents! As the doctor and nurses left, they glanced at Penelope and the bed.
Everyone understood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe last nurse thoughtfully closed the door.
Penelope wished she could throw Kelvin out to prove her innocence! If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! But she didn't have the courage with him there in broad daylight! Besides, their relationship wasn't at that point! She still remembered how he had hurt her back then.
"I'm going out for a bit. Be careful when you're cooking," Kelvin reminded, "Don't burn..."
Before he could finish, Penelope I screamed, "Ah! I forgot was cooking! I didn't turn off the stove!" She ran to the kitchen.
Seeing her flustered, Kelvin's eyes softened.
This was life. This was what hfelt like.
He took the contract and left for Davis Group to handle the stock transfer.
Lucy's signature wasn't enough; he needed to notify the board and major shareholders.
Kelvin's shares were substantial, involving a lot of money t of money which m couldn't be handled quickly. But it didn't matter, he could manage it, as long as Lucy had signed! His phone rang.
Kelvin answered as he walked, "Hello."
"Mr. Davis, Madison is really missing," the bodyguard reported. "We haven't seem heNin LA for the past two days! Could she have fallen into the water or been taken away?" "Where was she last seen?" "In the wealthy area on the north side of the city." Kelvin's voice turned cold. "Be more specific." "Near the old house of The Walker family," the bodyguard reported.
The Walker family? Brandon?
