Chapter 1372 Different from Before
Wallis hadn't seen Amir come out yet, so she was reluctant to leave, "Doctor, I'm fine. I'll go after Amir wakes up,"
she insisted.
The doctor didn't agree with her approach, "Given your current emotional state, you might collapse before the
patient wakes up."
After he finished, he looked at Beryl at the side, "Your daughter is here to keep watch, so you should go get your
infusion. Everything here is going smoothly, so there's no need to worry."
Beryl was also worried that her mother might not be able to hold on, so she quickly reassured, "Yeah, Mom, I'm
here. What are you afraid of? Aunt and Uncle Jamal are here too."
Wallis looked at Marcellus, who was standing aside and wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she didn't

Seeing that her mother was willing to follow the advice, Beryl let out a sigh of relief and continued to wait at the
door for Amir. After nearly fifteen more minutes, he was finally wheeled out of the operating room.
Under the white blanket, there were needles all over Amir's back, with an IV hanging from his head. He hadn't
woken up from anesthesia yet. His eyes were tightly shut and his face was so pale that it looked a bit green. It
wasn't a good sight.
"The patient should wake up in about an hour. We'll come back to check on him then. Family members don't need
to worry too much. If anything happens, just ring the bell. The doctors are all here," the doctor reassured.
Beryl nodded in agreement, "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome. It's our job," the doctor was very polite, but his politeness was not aimed at them but was due to
Marcellus.
Beryl was very aware of this, so she followed the doctor's gaze to Marcellus.
Marcellus had been receiving various kinds of looks since he entered the hospital, but he ignored them all, showing
no reaction. It wasn't until Beryl looked at him that he lifted his eyelids and walked over to her, asking softly,
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Beryl quickly lowered her head, somewhat avoiding the man's gaze.
Suddenly, her feelings toward Marcellus seemed different from before, a change so swift and fierce that even she
hadn't had time to adapt.
Seeing Amir being pushed into the ward, with her aunt and Uncle Jamal standing guard, Beryl excused herself to
Marcellus, "I'm going to the doctor's office to ask about the situation."
When the room was crowded earlier, she hadn't had the chance to speak, now everything had settled down, and
while Wallis hadn't finished her infusion, she wanted to go and find out more.

Though her aunt and Uncle Jamal were more mature and steadier, their educational backgrounds were not high,
and they tended to be apprehensive when encountering issues, and would often be overly concerned about minor
details. It would be better if she went.
Marcellus nodded, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Beryl quickly refused, "No need, I can go by myself."
After saying this, she seemed to be worried that he would be uncomfortable and further explained, "If you go with
me, the doctor might feel nervous, and it might be difficult for him to speak openly."
Marcellus thought about it and agreed, not insisting further. "I'll wait for you outside the ward."
"Okay."
Beryl went to the doctor's office alone. When she entered, the chief doctor immediately stood up, "Miss Juliet."
Being treated with such respect, Beryl was a bit uncomfortable. She wasn't like Marcellus who could be completely
indifferent. When others were polite to her, she would be even more polite. She quickly bowed, "Doctor, I came to
ask about my father's condition."
