Chapter 593 He Stood Her up
Fannie felt a little embarrassed hearing what she said.
But she knew that Laura had a point.
She was impatient before and didn't think it through.
She didn't refute Laura and said obediently, "Alright. Alright. I got it."
Laura then smiled and stood up with relief.
"I'll call him now."
"Okay."
Laura found Diego's phone number and called him.
It didn't take long for him to pick up his phone.
Diego's playful voice came through.
"Hello?"
Laura grimaced and said, "It's me."
There was an instant silence on the other side of the line.
Then she heard him laughing cheekily, "Oh. What's going on?"
"You promised me yesterday that we would go to the City Hall today and get a divorce. Where are you
now?"
"Oops!" Diego suddenly slapped his head, "Gee, my poor memory! How could I forget this! Well... Sorry
about that. I was drunk last night and I'm having a terrible hangover. I just woke up. Well... did you talk
to your mother about this?"
Laura frowned. She didn't know why, but she thought Diego sounded a bit off.
She said in a calm voice, "So when will you come over?"
"Now it's not a good time. I'm in the middle of something. Hold on a moment. I'll call you back."
Laura had to hang up.
After checking the time, she saw that it was ten in the morning.
Then, she agreed to wait for him,
"Fine. I'll wait for your call then."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Fannie looked at her worriedly, "How is it? When is he coming over?"
Laura frowned. And she vaguely felt a bad feeling. However, she didn't say anything to her mother in
case she worried.
She shook her head and said, "He's got something to do right now. He'll come over when he's done. It's
still early. The City Hall doesn't close until 5:30. We should be able to get there in time."
Hearing that, Fannie nodded in relief.
Laura was worried about Fannie going through the procedure alone with Diego, she planned to go
together.
However, she was not sure when Diego would come over. Therefore, she would stay in the hospital all
day today.
She thought Diego would call her when he finished his "work".novelbin
However, five hours passed and she did not receive his call.
Laura panicked and called him at 3 in the afternoon.
However, she didn't expect that his phone would be off.
The look on her face changed drastically. And she wasn't sure if Diego didn't answer her phone on
purpose or if something suddenly happened to him.
So she had to call him over and over again.
However, she kept calling until 6, but she couldn't get through to him.
Laura was deflated.
Looking at Laura's face with a depressed look, Fannie reassured her, "Forget it. If he can't come today,
let's do it tomorrow. He loves money so much, so he's not likely to give up."
Laura thought her mother was right.
Given Diego's greediness, he would come for the money sooner or later.
She didn't think too much about it then.
Laura waited until 8, but Diego still didn't call. Since she had to work tomorrow, she couldn't stay at the
hospital any longer. So she left.
The next day, the heart was delivered on time.
The package was signed by St. Peter's Hospital. After being tested, it was found to be a match for
Fannie's blood type.
Laura called Natalia to thank her, and then she agreed to operate on her mother next week.
It had been so long since the last time she received great news like this!
As a result, Laura had been in a very good mood lately.
The movie she was starring in with Stephen was also to shoot next week.
In order to be there for her mother during her surgery, she asked for a leave from the director to skip
the opening ceremony. She would go straight to the set for the shooting.
The director was thoughtful and gave her enough time for her to take care of her mother.
She could leave for some time as she saw fit.
Laura felt relieved.
Everything was ready now, she waited for her mother to have the surgery.
However, there was something strange. Since Diego stood her up that day, he had not been heard
since.
Normally it was good news for Laura and her mother that they didn't hear from him.
But not this time.
It was like a hazard in the dark, waiting to ambush them anytime from now.
She couldn't reach him, and she didn't know where he stayed this entire time. So there was nothing
she could do but wait.
Luckily, Fannie was finally going to have her surgery.
Everything was ready. The surgeon in charge of the operation was a world-class cardiac surgeon hired
by Max. So, with him operating on Fannie, the chances of success were very high.
Laura personally brought her mother into the operating room in a sterile gown. Because the family was
not allowed to stay in the operating room, she had to leave the room.
Today, Max came to be there for her.
Laura was really nervous and didn't want to be alone on such a big day, so she felt much better with
Max by her side.
Nicole bought some water for them and waited outside the operating room with them.
Although she could tell the relationship between Max and Laura was different from before, Laura didn't
tell her exactly what happened between them, so she didn't ask.
It was a complicated major procedure that lasted for seven hours.
It ended at 8:00. A doctor came out of the operating room and took off his mask and said to Laura,
"Congratulations. The surgery went well. As long as the patient survives the next 48 hours without
rejection, she should be fine."
Laura almost cried out of ecstasy hearing this.
She kept bowing to the doctor and kept saying, "Thank you. Thank you so much!"
The doctor smiled and didn't say anything, because he knew the only way to make her feel better was
to allow her to express her gratitude.
He turned to Max and smiled heartily, "I guess I didn't let you down."
Max smiled and finally felt a tremendous sense of relief after a long day.
