Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 331

Chapter331

Charlie and Megan heard the news and rushed to the outside of the operating room.

One was so scared his face turned as pale as paper, and the other was shaking all over with fear, tears streaming down.

Luckily, after some rescue efforts, Heriberto’s heartbeat came back.

When the doors of the operating room opened and the doctor came out and said Heriberto’s life was safe for now, Megan went weak all over.

If her bodyguard hadn’t caught her in time, she would’ve already fallen to the ground.

“Sir Hale, Madam Hale, and Mr. Hale had a weak will to live. If their hearts stopped again, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to save them either.”

The doctor said tiredly and helplessly.

Because the main organ Heriberto hurt was his heart.

Given his current condition, even doing CPR was a really tough thing.

If the heart stopped again and CPR was needed, there was a good chance that the heart, which had been stitched up in the previous surgery, would tear open and bleed a lot.

This way, even the gods couldn’t save Heriberto.

As soon as Megan heard it, she couldn’t take it anymore, her eyes went black, and she fainted.

Chapter 331.

Charlie wasn’t doing much better, almost tripping after a couple of shaky steps.

Now, it seemed like the only option was to try asking Iris.

But seeing how cold–hearted Iris was now, Charlic was scared. He was afraid he’d just come back empty–handed again if he went.

But no matter what, for Heriberto’s life, he had to try again.

Bluehaven Estates.

Danica rushed back overnight last night.

With Danica there, Iris slept pretty well.

It’s just that, a little after five in the morning, without any warning, she actually opened her eyes and woke up.

Didn’t have any nightmares, didn’t get scared or feel sick or anything, just woke up for no reason.

Popped my eyes open, the bedroom with the curtains shut was pitch black.

Danica next to me was sleeping soundly.

The bedroom was so quiet it was scary, Iris could even clearly hear her own heartbeat.

She raised her hand to cover her chest, and actually felt a bit of heart flutter, even her breathing wasn’t too smooth.

I lay quietly in bed for a while, but that feeling of heart palpitations didn’t go away–instead, it just got stronger.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her.

On tiptoe, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, then went outside and poured herself a glass of warm water.

It wasn’t light yet, the whole city was still silent, all gray and dim.

Iris held a glass of water and went to the balcony.

She drank half a cup of warm water, and when the cool morning breeze blew, she finally felt a lot better.

I checked the time. Around now, Ezekiel and Isabella in Goltuna should have just finished their milk and were getting ready to take a bath and go to bed.

She really, really missed her Ezekiel and Isabella.

Two chubby, rosy little faces popped up in her mind. She heard them babbling “Mommy” with their unclear words and saw their smiles brighter than flowers. Iris’s heart just melted.

She just wanted to see Ezekiel and Isabella now, wanted to make a video call.
