Chapter 835: Everyone Is Here, the Surgery Is About to Begin!

Aviva escorted Betzi upstairs.

The spacious living room was left with only Hart.

He walked over to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of his favorite whiskey, and stood by the window.

His expression was difficult to read.

Hart’s mind was in complete turmoil.

Too many things had happened over the past two days.

First, Nicole had been injured after the competition. Then those strange people had suddenly appeared—people who seemed to be chasing after Brother Wang Yun.

And Nicole had actually called him Brother Wang Yun.

She had looked completely star-struck.

The livestreams Nicole watched on her phone every day were probably Wang Yun’s.

If that was the case, Wang Yun must have been participating in some kind of pursuit-and-escape program, and those people were likely sent by the production team to track him down.

But no matter what the situation was, Wang Yun had saved Nicole.

And now he had already completely fallen out with Yura.

Tomorrow’s surgery could only depend on Wang Yun.

No matter who those people were, or what their identities might be, no one was taking Wang Yun away from him.

Thinking this, Hart drained the whiskey in his glass in one gulp.

Just then, Aviva came downstairs.

“Is Miss Betzi settled in?”

“Yes, sir.”

Hart nodded.

“You should go rest as well.”

“Yes, sir. You should rest early too.”

After saying that, Aviva returned to her room on the first floor.

Hart also headed up to his bedroom on the second floor.

After finishing her shower, Betzi looked around the room she had been given.

The room was decorated in the same elegant European style as the rest of the villa. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.

There was a large white bed in the center, with a white dressing table beside it.

The windows were enormous floor-to-ceiling panes.

Off to the side sat a small sofa and a tea table.

This single room alone was larger than Betzi’s entire house.

She carefully dried the water from her body and returned to the bathroom to blow-dry her hair. Only then did she come back out and cautiously touch the light-colored duvet.

So soft.

She lifted the blanket and gently slipped into bed.

Instantly, she felt as if she were being wrapped in warmth.

The soft bedding and comfortable mattress made Betzi feel like screaming with delight.

But she held it in.

She suddenly jumped out of bed, switched off the lights, and quickly dove back under the covers. She thought to herself that this was probably the most nerve-racking night of her life.

***

Early the next morning, Wang Yun was awakened by the glaring sunlight streaming through the window.

He rubbed his eyes, got up, and walked to the small tea table to pour himself a glass of water.

He had been so exhausted last night that he hadn’t even had the chance to call the others at the inn.

They were probably worried sick about him by now.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Knock, knock, knock—

Then Big Mouth’s loud voice rang out from outside.

“Boss! Are you awake? Boss! Boss! I’ve already made breakfast. Hurry up and get up!”

Wang Yun shook his head and walked over to open the door.

Big Mouth, who had been about to knock again, nearly hit Wang Yun when the door opened.

“What are you yelling about so early in the morning?”

Big Mouth scratched his head.

“I saw how hard you worked last night, so I made some breakfast to help you recover. Oh, and by the way, the ingredients at Hart’s place are really fresh. They were all delivered this morning.”

Wang Yun nodded.

“Are Hart and Nicole up yet?”

Big Mouth glanced sideways at his boss.

“Everyone’s already up. They’re all downstairs eating breakfast.”

The implication was obvious—everyone else was already eating, and he was the only one who hadn’t gotten up yet.

Wang Yun felt a little embarrassed.

“Alright, you go down first. I’ll brush my teeth and be there in a minute.”

Big Mouth muttered reluctantly, “Then hurry up.”

Wang Yun rolled his eyes at him.

The door shut right in front of Big Mouth.

Looking slightly dejected, Big Mouth headed downstairs to the dining room.

When he saw everyone looking at him, he immediately put on a cheerful smile.

“Go ahead and eat. My boss will be down in a minute.”

Hearing this, Hart quickly urged everyone.

“Everyone, please start eating. Brother Big Mouth woke up early to prepare all of this.”

Seeing everyone looking at him, Big Mouth scratched his head shyly.

“I’m not really good at anything else—just cooking. Go ahead and see if it suits your taste.”

Together, Big Mouth and Aviva had prepared seafood congee, beef soup dumplings, stuffed pancakes, and several refreshing pickled side dishes.

Everyone looked at the unfamiliar breakfast spread in front of them. The aroma was wonderful, but no one started eating.

Even Nicole—the normally mischievous little girl—sat quietly without touching anything.

Big Mouth looked at her in confusion.

“Hey, little girl, why aren’t you eating?”

Nicole said proudly,

“I’m waiting for Big Brother Wang Yun so we can eat together.”

Hearing this, Big Mouth could only wait along with everyone else.

Betzi, meanwhile, was curious about this Wang Yun.

Everyone seemed to respect him greatly. She had always assumed the person capable of performing Nicole’s surgery would be a middle-aged man at least fifty years old. But just now she had heard Nicole call him big brother.

That meant he couldn’t be very old.

Just then, a pleasant male voice suddenly spoke.

“Sorry to keep everyone waiting. You should start eating. There’s no need to wait for me.”

When Nicole heard his voice, she immediately jumped up happily.

“Big Brother Wang Yun, you’re here! I wanted to wait and eat with you.”

Wang Yun walked over and rubbed Nicole’s head.

“Little girl, you can’t go hungry right now. Go ahead and eat.”

After saying that, he walked to the empty seat opposite Nicole and sat down.
