Chapter 1844 Next Time
Calvin remained there for quite some time.
After he eventually drove away, he turned the car around and returned to the hospital again, feeling it was improper to leave without saying goodbye.
He pulled out his phone, sending a message to Cecilia that read: Ceci, I'm heading home. Just thought I'd let you know. Which ward are you in right now? I'll come visit.
After he sent the message, he didn't receive a reply.
On the other side, after having undergone surgery, Cecilia started her check-ups and stitch removals that day.
The doctors were gathered around her, and Zachary was particularly tense.
He wasn't actually fully confident that he could fix Cecilia's hearing.
Cecilia had her eyes closed, and her hands were trembling slightly.
Having lived with a hearing impairment for so many years, she had often wondered what life would be like if she were like everyone else.
At that moment, she finally had a chance to experience it, and she was more anxious and excited than anyone else.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the doctors were done. Cecilia heard the faint sound of surgical instruments clashing.
“Cecilia, can you hear me clearly?” Zachary asked as gently as possible.
Cecilia turned toward him, following the direction of his voice. Her eyes were slightly moist as she said, “I hear you clearly.”
Zachary's eyes were filled with joy when he saw that.
“Fantastic! The surgery is a success! Fantastic!”
Cecilia also nodded in agreement.
“Take a good rest first. Don't move around.” Zachary urgently added. “Let's run a test.”
“All right.”
Zachary conducted a hearing test for Cecilia.
He noticed that Cecilia's hearing, although not as good as an average person's, had improved significantly compared to before. At the very least, she no longer needed to rely on a hearing aid.
“Very good. As long as you take good care of it and have it checked regularly, there shouldn't be any issues in the future.”
Cecilia was then pushed out of the ward.
Outside, Nathaniel, Queenie, and Yuliana, among others, were anxiously waiting, each of them particularly tense.
“How's it going, Dr. Sinclair?” Queenie asked impatiently.
On the other side, Calvin had already departed, then sitting within the confines of the waiting room at the airport.
Upon reading the message, he replied: Seems like we won't be meeting. Has your hearing recovered yet?
Cecilia: The surgery went smoothly.
Calvin gripped his phone and replied: That's good. I'm already at the airport, and my flight's about to take off soon. Until next time.
Calvin didn't know when they would see each other again.
Cecilia also knew that for adults, the next time might really be hard to come by.
She then picked up the phone and called Calvin.
Caught off guard, Calvin quickly answered the phone. “What's up?”
“When does your flight take off?”
Glancing briefly, Calvin answered, “Probably in about half an hour.”
“All right. Wait for me.”
Cecilia abruptly ended the call and got up from her bed.
