Chapter 232 - Don’t Worry, Your Wife Will Be Alright

"Yeah, remember the patient I mentioned last night?"

Rachel nodded her head, "Hmm, who looked like me?"

"Yes, he is her husband"

"Oh, what was he doing here? I thought he is some professor"

"No idea"

Rachel didn't say anything else.

"I wanted to introduce you to him, he was thankful to you for donating blood tomorrow" 

"It's okay, no need of such formalities"

Daniel patted her on the head.

They spent some time sitting on the wooden bench and enjoying the view.

At last, they went to the library as some students told them, their library has books dedicated to every batch, with their pictures and some testimonials in it.

Rachel was excited to see this alumni book so she and Daniel went to the library and a librarian there helped Rachel find the alumni book of her mother's batch.

Excitedly the two people looked into it and there in the list of students, Rachel found Elizabeth's photo.

"Fuck, look at her Daniel, my mom looks so much like me" Rachel exclaimed in surprise and Daniel too was surprised as 60% of their features indeed matched.

"Wow" Daniel recollected Mrs Walsh again and shook his head as weird thoughts were entering his mind.

He wanted to mention Mrs Walsh again but last night when he did that, Rachel's mood was turned off so he didn't mention her.

Then they saw Catherine's picture who looked very beautiful.

"Hey see, here your mom's eyes look like Jimmy's" Rachel pointed it out and Daniel agreed with it.

They clicked young Catherine's picture and sent it to the whole Morris family.

Harry smiled when he saw that picture, Jimmy was surprised to notice his eyes were like his mom's. Anthony was happy Rachel and Daniel were going through all these old memories together.

After this university tour, Rachel and Daniel headed to have lunch then they went back to the hotel and slept for some time as they were tired. 

That day Daniel didn't trouble Rachel as the next day she would be donating blood, so she would need energy.

They just spent some time chit-chatting and slept early.

…

Next day

Daniel and Rachel went to the hospital together, in the same car which was arranged for them.

Daniel introduced her to a few colleagues then she donated her blood as after an hour the surgery is supposed to take place.

Daniel brought some snacks and drinks for her while she was resting. She felt a bit weak after donating her blood.

"Are you feeling uneasy or weak?" He asked her.

"No I am absolutely fine, this is not my first time donating blood"

"Yeah, I know, you did good" He kissed her head.

"When is the surgery?"

"In some time, this is my temporary cabin which they allotted to me, you can stay here for as long as you want and if you are hungry there is a canteen in the hospital. You don't have to go there, you can ask someone, they'll get food for you. The food is healthy even though it doesn't taste great and…"

"Daniel, I am not a five-year old, you can leave me alone for some time, I won't get lost" She joked and laughed at his state as he looked very worried.

"Yeah but this place is new and…"

"Dan, I am an adult, I can take care of myself" Rachel firmly told him.

"But…"

"The bodyguards are all outside, they were following us even to the university yesterday, they'll do their job, you please focus on the surgery that's more important"

Daniel nodded his head, he held the back of her head and kissed her forehead.

"All the best, treat that patient well"

"Yes boss"

Daniel went into the operation theater and Rachel just browsed through her phone to kill some time.

After a few minutes she got bored so she decided to step out.

…

William was sitting outside the operation theater in the waiting area where there was an arrangement for the patient's family to sit.

Chairs were arranged in two parallel lines facing each other. 

He was anxiously waiting for the operation to get over successfully.

Last night Ethan was back from the trip he went to and right now since Liz is in the operation room, he went to a church to pray as he is a firm believer of god.

His assistant was hungry so he left William alone for some time and went to eat food.

Ethan too let him be as Will was not in the condition to take help from anyone as he was currently stressed about the operation and that was the only thing on his mind so Ethan was not worried about leaving him alone.

Rachel asked a nurse where the operation theater is in which Daniel was operating in as she wanted to just have a glance at the place as she was casually roaming around the hospital.

The nurse guided her and Rachel casually walked towards the waiting area and saw a man sitting there looking very tense.

She remembered vaguely he was the same man she saw yesterday at the university.

Daniel did mention he was his patient's husband.

Joining all the dots, Rachel realized Daniel was operating on this man's wife right now so she just decided to approach him and to say some words of encouragement to make him feel better.

She could understand when someone from a family is admitted, how their family members feel.

Rachel casually sat next to the man, whose hands were slightly shivering in anxiousness.

Rachel smiled seeing this action as this is how she felt during her exams.

In reflex she held the man's shivering hands and assured him, "Don't worry, your wife will be alright"

William was startled when suddenly he felt a soft hand hold his rough hand and a sweet, gentle voice tried to assure him.

In surprise, he lifted his head and looked at the person who just spoke to him.

When he saw the young girl's face, his eyes widened in shock.
