The ambulance quickly left Jovitas General Hospital.
The last look Zachery gave Josephine, along with his upright figure holding the child, inexplicably echoed in Josephine’s mind again and again…
St. Estella Hospital and Jovitas General Hospital have the same positioning; both are private elite hospitals.
The campus of St. Estella Hospital is even larger than that of Jovitas General Hospital, and its service is more attentive.
But the capability of its medical team can’t compare to Jovitas General Hospital.
Wilfred thought that a fracture surgery wasn’t particularly difficult.
As the second–ranked hospital in Vexford, St. Estella Hospital shouldn’t have any accidents.
Belinda, under general anesthesia, was wheeled into the operating room.
Josephine, holding Zachery’s windbreaker that had been taken off Belinda, waited with Wilfred in the family waiting area outside the operating room.
Wilfred sat in the first row, Josephine in the fourth.
Every time Wilfred looked back at Josephine, she kept a stern face and averted her gaze, not even willing to spare him a glance.
Wilfred not only didn’t get angry, but even the slight frown on his brow relaxed.
Belinda was still Josephine’s most vulnerable emotional attachment.
No matter how hard Josephine tried to act heartless, as long as Belinda needed her, she would always find a way to comfort herself and come over–far more effective than any of his methods…
Josephine took out her phone, intending to message Zachery.
She wanted him to ask Natalia what happened tonight. Why did Natalia apologize to Belinda?

Helena and the bodyguard hurriedly arrived at St. Estella Hospital.
As soon as Helena saw Wilfred, she began to cry and blame herself for not taking good care of Belinda, wishing she could take Belinda’s place.
After her tearful confession, she managed to completely absolve herself from the incident with a single sentence,
“I went to the restroom at the time, and Gideon Vossler was responsible for watching Belinda.”
Josephine’s gaze fell on the bodyguard.
It was neither warm nor cold, but carried a sharpness that could pierce through clouds.
The bodyguard didn’t dare look at Josephine the whole time, keeping his head down as he spoke:
“Belinda saw her classmate Mia, and the two of them didn’t want to watch the fireflies, insisting on counting stones across Brookcross Bridge. Later, Natalia came. Natalia said Clara was frantically looking for Mia and told Mia to go back with her. Belinda disagreed, saying they were only a few stones away from finishing and couldn’t give up halfway. Natalia said that after finding her mom, they could come back and finish… Mia and Natalia were between me and Belinda, and when Belinda and Natalia started arguing, I couldn’t stop Belinda in time. I watched as she was pushed and fell into the water…”
Wilfred interrupted, “Who pushed her into the water?”
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, then said softly, “It was… Natalia.”
“Impossible.”
Josephine stood up from her seat in the fourth row and walked over to the bodyguard.
The distance between them was very close.
The bodyguard felt the cold aura enveloping Josephine and involuntarily took two steps back.
“It’s true, ma’am. At that moment, all the lights on Brookcross Bridge suddenly came on, and I saw it clearly. Natalia pushed Belinda, which is how Belinda’s foot got stuck in the crack between the stones.”
This made Josephine recall Natalia apologizing to Belinda with guilt…

The light in the operating room went out, and Belinda was wheeled out.
Josephine checked the time; it had been less than an hour since they went in.
She remembered that a classmate in her martial arts class once had a minor ankle fracture, and it took two hours…
Rowan said confidently, “I’m very experienced with this kind of surgery. My technique is precise and efficient, so the operation time is the shortest.”
Wilfred expressed his thanks, then followed the nurse and orderly to escort Belinda to the ward.
