Chapter 454: Chapter 454: I Miss Him
"July, don’t think too much. I’ll contact your attending doctor tomorrow and have him come over here."
Liam Monroe didn’t know how to comfort July Quinn.
A few hours ago, July Quinn was still dreaming about the future with him.
But now, the doctor told them that July Quinn might not have a future.
Helplessness and despair surged like a tide, making it hard for him to breathe.
But he still had to hide his confusion and smile to comfort July Quinn.
"Don’t worry, your attending doctor said before that if he performs the surgery, there’s a 30% success rate. Now with an additional 5% if the surgery is done by the end of the month, it becomes 35%."
"That still means a 65% chance of dying."
July Quinn hung her head; her forehead fringe covered her beautiful eyes, making her expression unreadable.
But her voice was hoarse, unlike her own.
It was like a sharp blade piercing through Liam Monroe’s heart.
He could no longer control himself and stepped forward to grab July Quinn’s shoulders, "July, listen to me, don’t be so pessimistic. I think you’ve always had good luck, the surgery will definitely succeed."
His speech was much faster than usual, with an urgent tone that was hard to interpret, uncertain if he was comforting July Quinn or himself.
"But Liam, I’m still scared. I’m afraid that this time the goddess of fortune won’t favor me..."
It always felt like meeting Kyle Keaton had exhausted all her luck for this lifetime, and the goddess of fortune wouldn’t favor her anymore.
July Quinn finally looked up.
She didn’t cry, but her eyes were alarmingly red.
She wasn’t afraid of dying before.
But now, she had someone she wanted to spend a lifetime with.
She feared leaving in her most beautiful years and feared that unfulfilled promises of love would leave Kyle Keaton lonely for the rest of his life.
Suddenly, she missed Kyle Keaton deeply.
So she pushed Liam Monroe away, got out of bed, and left the hospital room.
"July Quinn, at a time like this, where are you thinking of going?"
Liam Monroe hurriedly chased her out of the room.
July Quinn didn’t turn back, "I miss him."
She didn’t specify who "him" was.
But Liam Monroe knew she meant Kyle Keaton.
In the end, he didn’t try to stop July Quinn.
Perhaps the time they had left together was already too little...

July Quinn rushed back to her small apartment from the hospital, only to find that Kyle Keaton wasn’t home yet.
She found her phone and discovered that Liam Monroe had set it to silent mode, with over twenty missed calls from Kyle Keaton.
When she called back, she found Kyle Keaton’s phone was turned off.
"Could he still be at the restaurant?"
Without thinking too much, July Quinn hurried to that restaurant.
Half an hour later, July Quinn arrived at the restaurant.
It was nearing midnight, and the restaurant seemed to be preparing to close.
Most of the lights in the dining area were turned off, except for the window-side seat where Kyle Keaton was sitting.
Under the dim light, his cool demeanor seemed even more pronounced.
Perhaps due to his gloomy mood, that formidable aura of his was even more intimidating, exuding an overwhelming arrogance and coldness that kept people at a distance and could stop children from crying at night.
At this moment, a waiter nervously handed him a power bank.
Kyle Keaton accepted it casually, without a word of thanks or even a glance at the waiter.
Nothing, there was nothing.
But even so, it seemed the waiter didn’t feel his indifference was wrong.
After receiving the power bank, Kyle Keaton quickly charged his phone and turned it on. Within seconds, he called July Quinn.
July Quinn expected a burst of anger when she answered the call.
But instead, she heard his hoarse voice asking, "Did something happen?"
