He had contacted Doctor William and finalized the surgical plan, yet now, Doctor William had taken it upon himself to change it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked in a low voice, \"Who contacted you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctor William was horrified. ’This man is truly perceptive.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"I’m heading into the operating room. If you have any questions, we can talk after the surgery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hung up abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thoughtful look appeared in Walker Grant’s long, dark eyes. He then called Dylan Finch in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Grant, you were looking for me?\" Dylan Finch asked, clearly puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant said calmly, \"Go find out who contacted William in the past two days, and what they talked about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Dylan Finch replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though confused, he did as he was told.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant stood up and went straight to the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the operating room, Chloe Reed sat on a chair, her anxious gaze darting toward the doors every so often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant walked over, sat down beside her, and asked, \"Chloe, what did you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s back went rigid. She looked at him. \"What are you talking about? I don’t understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I gave Doctor William a lot of money. He shouldn’t have betrayed me.\" A probing look filled Walker Grant’s eyes. \"Chloe, who helped you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed had been wondering about that herself, but now, she suddenly recalled what Miles Hawthorne had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could he have done it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But how?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could he get past Walker Grant and convince Doctor William to perform the surgery ahead of schedule?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyes flickered for just a moment before she said, \"I don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was icy. Now that she was free from his coercion and her grandmother was safely in surgery, she had no reason to be pleasant to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And she wasn’t going to drop the lawsuit, either.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant didn’t press the issue. He simply sat beside her, periodically handling urgent documents on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minutes ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surgery lasted for eight hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was late at night when the light above the operating room door finally went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors opened and Doctor William emerged, his face etched with exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed rushed forward, asking with immense tension, \"Doctor, how did it go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctor William smiled. \"The surgery was a success. If she rests well after the operation, your grandmother will live a long and healthy life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight on Chloe Reed’s heart finally lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed closed her eyes and let out a long, shaky breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Grandma’s okay!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is wonderful!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. Thank you so, so much,\" Chloe Reed said, looking at Doctor William with immense gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctor William’s expression as he looked at her grew more complex, more probing. He suddenly asked, \"Mrs. Grant, I don’t believe I know your first name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Chloe Reed,\" she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of confusion crossed Doctor William’s eyes. ’What an unfamiliar name. And yet, the person who gave me my orders said I absolutely had to grant her every request.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s her relationship with him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly aware of a scrutinizing gaze, Doctor William quickly composed himself and said, \"I’m exhausted. I’m heading home. We can talk about gratitude later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed didn’t notice the shift in his expression. Her attention was on her grandmother, who was being wheeled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman was still unconscious. Her head was wrapped in white gauze, and her breathing was slow and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the hospital room, after the nurse had left, Chloe Reed dialed Miles Hawthorne’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello. Is the surgery over?\" Miles Hawthorne’s voice was cheerful, as if he’d been expecting her call.\u003C\u002Fp>",613,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","ade14fc1b1eb521e1c92ee9c20ebce588b304230f011fe8118c35b22ec53d827","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-263","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-117",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
