Seraphina stepped forward and hugged Francine, patting her back reassuringly. ’Don't be upset, Madam Francine-

this might be a good thing. Now, Stefan doesn't have to take so many risks. It's meant to be, don't you think?"

"I'm not sad, but I find it strange that the doctor got into an accident right before the surgery..." Francine glanced at

the operating room worriedly. "Stef will be furious when he finds out, and he'll definitely look into it."

"Umm..." Seraphina swallowed, her anxiety obvious.

Putting both of his hands in his pockets, Elijah turned to Seraphina with a fake smile. "Didn't you want to stop the

surgery earlier, Ms. Murphy? Why do you look so worried then? To be honest, I'm not sure whether you want him to

have the surgery or not."

"What are you trying to say, Elijah?" Seraphina glared at Elijah and snapped, "I don't care about the surgery-l just

want Stefan to be safe and healthy. I'll support whatever he does as long as it helps him get better."

"Really? Don't forget what you said then," Elijah said lightly, smiling knowingly at Seraphina.

"What are you saying?" Seraphina scoffed, not worried at all. It was best if she pretended to be considerate and

loyal.

Elijah nodded solemnly. "I'm sure Mr. Hunt can be at ease now. Besides, I know you're sensible since you're a noble

lady..." Elijah suddenly picked up his phone and said brightly, "We're ready, Dr. Wagner. You can start at anytime."

Seraphina's eyes widened and she demanded, "What did you say, Elijah? Who did you just speak to?"

Elijah flashed her a wide smile and said casually, "Oh, that was Dr. Wagner. I have to be in contact with him since

he's the head surgeon for this operation."

The blood drained from Seraphina's face."How is that possible? Didn't he get into a car accident? How did he come

here for the surgery? Is this a joke?"

"Oh, turns out it was just a misunderstanding. The person who got into an accident was Oscar Wagner, Doctor

Wagner's younger brother, who's a doctor too..."

"What? H-He has a brother?" Seraphina stammered, her face deathly pale. She looked dumbstruck, as if her world

had just collapsed.

"Oh yes, he has a brother who looks very much like him. I didn't expect that his brother would suffer that calamity

instead..." Elijah suddenly raised his brows and asked curiously, "Ms. Murphy, didn't you just get here? We didn't tell

you that Dr. Wagner had gotten into a car accident, so how did you know?"

"I... I guessed it." Seraphina turned beet red as she quickly made up an excuse.

Elijah and Francine immediately knew she was lying, but neither exposed her. Francine had known for a long time

that Seraphina could be rather scheming and malicious.

Seraphina loved Stefan deeply, which was why she took such extreme measures sometimes. However, Stefan was

about to undergo surgery, so it wasn't the time to demand an explanation from her.
