Chapter 448
A few minutes later, Stella returned.
Felicity did not dare to ask if the nurse said anything and could only pray that Rainee was fortunate
enough to get through this safely.
'At this point, I'm scared that Stella will lose it if something happens to her mother. It's been years. To
be honest, we all know the chances of her regaining consciousness are slim. However, people always
have obsessions. As long as she was breathing, it felt like there was still hope. There's this saying:
when your parents are still around, you still have the starting point of your life; when your parents are
gone, only the ending point of your life remains. No one has the right to condemn Stella, a daughter, for
being obsessed with her mother,’ she thought.
Marshall rushed over soon. It only took him 10 minutes after he hung up his call with Felicity. He

For a moment, Felicity felt this man was much more reliable than that bastard, Keegan.
'He actually came when something happened,' she thought.
"Stella, how's your mom?"
Marshall was slightly panting as he spoke. He probably ran over the moment he got out of his car.
Stella was startled when she saw him. Felicity quickly explained, "When you went to sign the paper,
handsome-Mr. Moore called and had something to tell you. He came over when he heard me say your
mother was in the operating room."
Stella softened her expression and said quietly, "She's still receiving emergency treatment. There isn't
news yet."
Rainee's lungs were infected, and the papers the nurse asked Stella to sign just now was a surgery
consent form. Even though it was just a minimally invasive surgery, it was incredibly risky for Rainee.
The nurse told Stella there was actually no need for surgery, considering Rainee's condition. Even if
they saved her, she did not have much time left. If Stella insisted on surgery, she might lose both
money and Rainee.
However, Stella did not have the heart to say she wanted to give up on treatment. She could not stand
by idly and watch Rainee die.
Marshall consoled her, "No news is good news."
Stella also hoped so, but some things do not just become true simply because one hoped so.
"Mr. Moore, why did you call?"
Marshall said, "Let's wait for your mother to finish surgery. It's not urgent for now."
'I wanted to tell him to leave if he has something to do. But on second thoughts, he might have rushed
over after learning that something had happened. If I ask him to leave, it seems a little too inhumane,'
she thought.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this thought, she pursed her lips and did not speak. The three sat in a row and waited for the doctor
in the operating room to announce Rainee's verdict. After around 10 minutes, the operating room's light
indicator was switched off.
Stella shot up. Then, Felicity and Marshall followed suit.
The doors to the operating room opened, and the medical staff came out one by one. Stella felt her
heart clench violently. She wanted to walk up to them, but she did not dare.
The doctor took off their mask and said with a serious expression, "Go in and see her for the last time.
Give your proper goodbyes."
Stella's hands trembled, and she felt like she had fallen into an abyss. The sounds around her seemed
to come from a far place, and only the doctor's voice could clearly be heard in her ears.
Felicity's eyes reddened as she supported Stella.
"You need to be strong, Stella,” she said hoarsely.
