Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1131

Marco returned a smile, silent, while internally cursing the individual who'd dispatched the photo album.

Without wasting a moment, they boarded the helicopter, transporting the robot to the hospital.

They were reassured by the hospital's confidentiality agreement, with only a handful of doctors privy to the situation and awaiting their arrival on the rooftop.

The medical team assigned to Aldo's surgery comprised leading figures in the field. Despite their stature, the sight of the ninth-generation robot stirred a palpable excitement in them.

"Behold the first successfully developed ninth-generation robot! We are truly privileged to be its inaugural users. Mr. Bryant, Miss Torres, you have our gratitude for this unique opportunity!"

With enthusiasm, the elderly director with white hair warmly shook hands with Loraine. Loraine expressed her gratitude sincerely, saying,

"We are deeply indebted to you. Please do everything you can to save my grandfather. The entire Torres family will be immensely grateful!"

The doctors nodded, moving beyond formal pleasantries. They prepared the ninth-generation robot for surgery and outlined their operation plan.

With the surgery underway, Rowan and Wesley were alerted and promptly made their way to the hospital, arriving breathless in front of the operating room. The news of the surgical robot's arrival had thrilled them. Noticing Marco alongside Loraine outside the operating room, Rowan and

Wesley were taken aback. Yet, they were indebted to Marco for procuring the surgical robot and hence held their peace.

The family, filled with anticipation and anxiety, gathered outside the operating room, their thoughts filled with prayers.

After enduring several agonizing hours, the surgery light flickered to green.

A surgeon emerged, his expression stern. This sight caused their hearts to skip a beat.

"Congratulations. The surgery was a success. All residual clots have been eradicated. The patient should regain consciousness post-anesthesia."

Sighing with relief, Loraine's legs gave way. The man standing beside her quickly reached out, steadying her.

With tear-brimmed eyes, she gave Marco a watery smile. "Marco, thank you," she said.

Memories of their recent arguments faded as Marco embraced her, feeling a deep sense of contentment.

He wasn't ready to let go of her just yet. In a soft whisper, he replied, "Expressing gratitude goes beyond mere words. How else can you demonstrate your appreciation?" As Marco's gaze lingered on her lips, Loraine stiffened.

Her cheeks flushed as she remembered their heated exchange in the meeting room. Annoyed yet shy, she shoved him, extracting herself from his grasp.

"Relax about the thank you gift. The Torres family will make sure to compensate you generously..."

"Loraine, you know that's not what I'm after."
