Chapter 712

Sudden Crisis

Vivian pushed open the restroom door to find Ethan still waiting outside.

"This is the women's restroom entrance," she frowned. "People will think you're a creep."

"I was waiting for you," Ethan's gaze lingered on her face. "You look pale."

Vivian instinctively touched her cheek. "Must be the lighting."

"You need rest," Ethan said firmly.

"I'll leave after checking on the Queen." She waved him off. "You should rest too. Standing here won't help."

Ethan nodded slightly, warmth spreading through him at her concern.

Upstairs, Vivian found the Queen awake with the King feeding her porridge.

"Dr. Laurent!" The Queen's eyes lit up. "Thank you so much."

Vivian smiled. "Just doing my job."

"I heard someone offended you during the surgery." The Queen's expression hardened. "They'll pay for it."

After examining both the Queen and newborn, Vivian confirmed everything was stable.

"Isn't Mr. Roscente's child also here?" The Queen asked.

Ethan's reputation in business circles extended even to royal connections.

"Just had surgery," Vivian nodded. "Still critical."

"You've been working nonstop since yesterday." The Queen gestured to an attendant. "I'll arrange a car to take you home. Let Mr. Roscente know we can assist if needed."

Vivian thanked her and prepared to leave. Though not feeling tired, logic demanded she rest.

She left emergency contacts with the hospital staff. The moment she entered the car, her phone rang.

"Dr. Laurent! Theodore is rejecting the transplant!"

"On my way!"

When Vivian rushed back, Ethan stood outside the ER receiving a critical condition notice.

"The surgery succeeded!" His hand trembled holding the pen.

The nurse explained, "Organ rejection is common, especially with his existing injuries..."

Ethan's eyes were bloodshot. "Can you save my son?"
