Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Serena Summers is Her Reborn Parents

The door suddenly swung open, and a doctor stepped out from inside.

Sister Grace immediately rushed forward, excitedly grabbing the doctor’s clothes, her eyes red as she asked, "Doctor, how is Crystal doing?"

The doctor smiled reassuringly and said, "Ms. Grace, although Miss Harper’s injuries are severe, they were timely treated. You’re quite lucky, as she encountered someone very professional and familiar with medical knowledge. Her methods were highly proficient, and she also helped Miss Harper promptly remove the necrotic tissue around the wound."

Sister Grace’s mind couldn’t quite grasp this all at once, and in disbelief, she asked, "Doctor... are you saying that Crystal’s injuries aren’t serious?"

"That’s not the case. In fact, Miss Harper’s injuries are extremely severe. Plus, having delayed for several days, if the wounds hadn’t been treated in time, her legs would definitely have been ruined. But fortunately, she got to the hospital just in time."

Sister Grace’s legs went weak; she couldn’t help but step back half a pace, her expression somewhat dazed.

So... Serena Summers really does have medical knowledge.

She had previously thought Serena was just messing around, and even said many sarcastic things.

Now, every time she thought about those words, Sister Grace’s face would burn with embarrassment.

She had been blind to talent and wrongfully accused a good person.

The doctor, seeing Sister Grace’s furrowed brow and pale complexion, thought she was worrying about the patient’s condition, and continued, "Miss Harper is seriously injured and advised to rest for a few months, minimizing high-intensity work and vigorous exercise."

After giving a few more instructions, the doctor quickly left.

When Crystal Harper woke up, the numbness from the anesthesia in her legs hadn’t worn off yet, and it felt like her entire lower half didn’t belong to her.

She turned her head with difficulty and saw Sister Grace asleep at her bedside.

There were signs of exhaustion around her eyelids, and two dark traces, clearly from taking care of her to the point of exhaustion.

Crystal Harper pursed her lips, a sense of guilt rising in her heart.

Over the years, Sister Grace had endured many hardships following her, and she had never had the chance to hit it big.

Previously, Sister Grace couldn’t even get her salary; she ran all over the place to get her auditions.

Many of the scripts were obtained by her begging shamelessly time and time again.

She had thought that by taking on Director Carter’s movie, she would finally escape her unluckiness.

But she could never have imagined that a rainstorm would break out while filming.

At that time, she was on the mountain, and with the rain pouring down, she didn’t even have the chance to react.

Desperately, she tried to run back to the tent, but slipped on the way and tumbled down the cliff.

It was Vincent Carter who rescued her.

Without Vincent Carter, she might have lost her life.

Even without hearing the diagnosis, Crystal Harper was well aware that even if her legs weren’t ruined, she definitely wouldn’t be able to act anymore.

Acting was the love of her life, and the thought of potentially losing many opportunities in the future caused a sharp pain in her heart.

Her hands under the covers clenched into tight fists, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but even more so, a sense of helplessness.

Suddenly, Sister Grace opened her eyes and saw that Crystal was awake, her expression instantly becoming excited.

"Crystal, you’re awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I’ll go find the doctor immediately," Sister Grace said, springing up from the chair, ready to run out of the ward.

"Sister Grace," Crystal Harper quickly grabbed her with a quick movement, weakly shaking her head, "Sister Grace, I’m fine."

Perhaps due to being unconscious for too long, her voice was somewhat hoarse as she spoke.

Sister Grace rushed over with heartache, hugging her tightly, "Crystal, you really scared me to death ww, what would I do if something happened to you!"

Crystal Harper blinked and extended her hands to embrace Sister Grace, "I’m fine, aren’t I? Don’t be sad, Sister Grace."

Sister Grace sniffled, wiping away the tears on her face, "Right, we need to properly thank Miss Summers. The doctor said if it weren’t for her timely treatment of the wound on your leg, it’s highly likely you’d have been left with a disability."

If Sister Grace had any doubts about Serena Summers’s medical skills before due to her age, now all that remained was admiration.

Crystal Harper’s eyes widened in surprise, disbelief flashing through them, but she quickly nodded in understanding.

At that time, choosing to trust Serena was partly out of desperation, and partly because the radiance emanating from Serena made her instinctively trust her.

The facts proved that her choice was correct.

"Sister Grace, Serena is my lifesaver, and I want to thank her properly."

"Of course, you rest assured, once you’ve recovered, I’ll definitely visit in person to properly express our gratitude."

She had decided, from now on, Serena Summers would be like a second parent to her!

Listening to Sister Grace’s exaggerated tone, Crystal Harper couldn’t help but laugh, but while laughing, she suddenly felt a bit sad.

"Sister Grace, the film with Director Carter... I’m probably going to miss that opportunity."

The smile on Sister Grace’s face stiffened for a moment, then she quickly waved her hands, "Crystal, your health is the most important. It’s okay to miss this opportunity. Once you’ve recovered, we’ll start over."

She gripped Crystal Harper’s hand tightly, with a look of unshakable determination in her eyes, "Crystal, I will always be by your side."

...

Hearing that Serena Summers had awakened, Vincent Carter wasted no time coming to her room.

At the moment, Serena Summers was leaning in Lucas Shaw’s arms, staring into each other’s eyes.

"Serena, you should explain to me now why you suddenly came here," Lucas Shaw knew, Serena housed many secrets.

He didn’t want to deliberately probe, but if it involved Serena’s safety, he had to get clear answers.

Serena Summers blinked, innocently looking at him with a facade of naivety, "Huh? I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Lucas Shaw chuckled softly, not surprised by Serena’s reaction.

He lowered his gaze and moved closer to Serena, their lips almost touching, suddenly filling the air with an indescribable ambiance of intimacy.

"Really not considering telling me?"

Facing the man’s dark, deep eyes, Serena Summers suddenly felt a bit guilty.

She awkwardly touched her nose, nervously swallowing, "I, I just heard there was an accident, a disaster here, so I came to see if I could help."

Lucas Shaw snorted softly, "There are so many places in the country hit by natural disasters, why did you specifically come here?"

Serena Summers opened her mouth, thinking he was angry with her for hiding things from him, "I, I actually..."

She wanted to tell Lucas Shaw the truth, but as soon as she started talking, he extended his arms to embrace her.

She lifted her head, trying to discern his expression.

But then, a large hand suddenly pressed on the back of her head, pushing her face into his chest.

Lucas Shaw’s deep voice sounded from above, carrying a hint of concealed fear and panic, "Serena, promise me, don’t come to such dangerous places again, and if you must come, at least bring me. Okay?"
