Chapter 867 Avery could not slip away and had no choice but to let Mike return to Aryadelle with the twins first.
Adrian’s family was not happy with his post-surgery condition, but at least they did not give Avery a hard time about
it.
Both parties signed an agreement before the surgery. Avery would treat Adrian’s illness, but she could not
guarantee that the surgery would be a complete success. Three days after the surgery, Avery’s phone rang at
noon. Once she heard the phone ringing, she quickly wrapped up changing Robert’s diaper, then picked up her
phone and answered the call.
“Adrian’s awake, Doctor Tate. He can hear us this time and he’s responding.” Adrian’s father, Nathan, was the one
on the other line. Avery suddenly felt relieved, “I’ll head over to the hospital right away.” She hung up the phone,
then handed the baby to Mrs. Cooper. Once she arrived at the hospital, she hurried over to the patient’s room. “He

surgery? He isn’t just going to be unconscious this whole time, is he? If that’s the case, then he was better off
before the surgery!”
“You’ve never had major surgery before, have you? The week after a major surgery is when the patient is at their
weakest,” Avery said sternly.
“I see. Don’t get mad, Doctor Tate. I’m not doubting you. I just feel like he’s still kind of an idiot.” Nathan rubs his
hands together. He was clearly unhappy with the post-op results.
Avery’s heart tightened in her chest.
“Please step outside for a moment. Let’s have a private chat.”
Once the two of them stepped out of the room, Avery said, “My last patient had the same illness as Adrian. She was
only able to recover to the point of being able to care for herself again until after the second surgery. It also did not
happen right away. She slowly recovered with the patience, love and care from her family members. I know you’re
worried about Adrian, but can you not treat him like an idiot? I can tell you for certain that it’s practically impossible
that he will turn back into an ordinaryed person.
A wave of misery flashed across Nathan’s eyes. “I thought you really were a miracle worker! Didn’t your last patient
pretty much turn into an ordinary person afterie surgery?” “I’m not a miracle worker. Whoever told you that my
last patient was pretty much normal after surgery, you can take that up with them.” When Avery thought of Shea,
she could not help from being emotional.
“Why are you being so emotional? It’s not like I’m asking you for compensation.” Nathan gazed at Avery with a
confused expression on his face. “Why do you look like you’re about to cry? I’m not shouting at you or hitting you.
How can you be a doctor with this level of mental94 capacity?” When a nurse walked by and overheard their
conversation, she immediately walked over and said, “How could you speak to Doctor Tate that way, Sir? Do you
know how difficult the surgery that she did was? Besides, your son’s surgery was rather successful. He just woke up,
a surgery is considered a success when a patient wakes up and their life is not in danger.” Avery took a deep

She had yet to see what Adrian looked like when he was conscious, so whatever Nathan said should not affect her
mood. When she walked into the room and saw Adrian’s pale complexion, her emotionsd3 wavered. The reason
why her eyes reddened earlier had nothing to do with the surgery, but that she actually heard Elliot’s voice in
Nathan. In her mind, Elliot and the middle-aged man in front of her were gradually overlapping and turning into the
samecb person. She imagined that Elliot was the one chastising her, which was why she lost control of her emotions
for a moment.
Soon after, the nurse walked into the room and handed Avery a glass of water. “Don’t take Mr. White’s words to
heart, Doctor Tate. He doesn’t really care about his son at all. I should probably say that nobody in that family cares
about Adrian. The nurses are the one who take care of him every day. We were the ones who called them over
when Adrian woke up.” The nurse’s words made Avery’s heart sink Nathan had continuously told her that he loved
this son more than anything. However, it was clear from his actions today that everything he said before was a lie!
