Chapter 777 Bone Marrow Extraction

The next morning, Fiona woke up around six, which was quite early.

Adrian was now in a special period. Around five in the morning, the nurse had come to take his temperature. Thankfully, his temperature was normal as it had been the past few days. That morning, he was going to have his bone marrow drawn for the first time.

When Mandy stepped out of the bathroom, she saw the nurse already taking Adrian's temperature. She approached them and watched them quietly, a calm look on her face.

The nurse carefully examined his temperature and gave him a smile. "37.5 degrees Celsius. You're fine."

Mandy breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Adrian didn't have a fever yet. What followed next was the most critical period. He couldn't have a fever during the operation.

Nathan was already awake. He went straight to the bedside. Blinking his eyes, Adrian grinned and said, "Good morning, mom and dad."

"Good morning, Adrian," Nathan and Mandy said in unison.

Drawing the bone marrow was a relatively easy operation. It was going to be performed by Doctor Wang with Mandy inside the operating room.

Nathan had to go back to JS International that day. He had already missed several meetings, and there had been an accident at the factory in London. With all these things going on, he couldn't help but feel as if he was back to three years ago when he was alone, and Adrian was suffering from his illness. Those were the darkest times of his life. He couldn't believe it was happening all over again.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone now. He had Mandy by his side, so he had a source of strength and motivation.

"Mandy, I need to go to work today. Are you going to be okay by yourself?" He looked at Mandy, concern written all over his face. He was afraid that Mandy wouldn't be able to handle it if he wasn't there.

This was a big deal for Adrian after all.

As Adrian's father

he needle out. Everyone seemed visibly relieved as the nurse began to clean things up.

When they went back to the ward, Adrian was a little tired. He still felt sore, so Mandy patted him until he fell asleep.

Fiona lay on the sofa, still unwilling to have a check-up at the gynecology and obstetrics department. She had been looking forward to having a baby last night, but when she woke up that morning, she felt scared. Once Mandy was sure that Adrian was fast asleep already, she stood up and walked towards Fiona.

"Nana, let's go," Mandy said with a gentle smile.

"Where… Where are we going?" Fiona acted as if she was unaware, still not wanting to have a check-up.

"Where else would we go? Don't tell me you've changed your mind." Mandy bent over and stared at her sharply, leaving no chance for Fiona to deflect.

For a while, they just stared each other down until Fiona finally surrendered—the determination in Mandy's eyes was too much for her.

The walls in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the JS Hospital was light pink instead of the usual white. This helped the patients feel warm and comfortable inside. The corridor was rather quiet. Women held their cards and reports in the waiting area as they waited to be called.
