Chapter 519
After Silvia hung up, she left the hospital.
Once she was in her car, she opened the email and quickly read through Chris’s medical record. Her expression darkened soon after.
With Chris’s current condition, the success rate of the surgery would only be fifty percent.
She took out her phone and gave Winston a call. “Winston, I’ve read Chris’s report. Can you use traditional medicine to absorb more of the blood clot?”
“I don’t think it’ll be very effective. The blood clot is on the back of his head, and there are many nerves underneath it. There’s a chance of affecting the nerves no matter what medication I use.”
Silvia pursed her lips and softly said, “I’m only fifty–percent confident now. If we can reduce the edge of the blood clot by one millimeter, the success rate of the surgery can be increased to eighty percent.”
Winston remained silent for a while before he spoke in a serious tone, “I’ll give it a try, but I might not succeed.”
“Okay.”
After the call ended, Silvia drove back to the mansion and started looking for information.
She was not very confident about this surgery, so she planned to see if there were similar medical cases overseas.
Silvia finally leaned on the table and slept when the sun came up.
When she woke up, she saw someone standing in front of her desk and freaked out.
Realizing that it was Neil, she sighed in relief. “When did you get back?”
“Not long ago. Why were you looking for this medical information?”
There was a hint of guilt in Silvia’s eyes. She grabbed the documents back from him and replied indifferently, “No reason. I was simply doing some research. You must be very tired since you just came back. You should get some rest.”
Neil looked down and did not ask further. He then left the study.
Silvia compiled the information she found and walked to the living room. She saw Neil sitting on the couch with his head lowered, but she did not know what he was thinking.
She made herself a cup of coffee in the kitchen before she got ready to return to her bedroom.
When she walked past the couch, she could not help but ask, “Aren’t you going to rest?”
Neil looked at her, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions that she did not understand.
“Silvia, don’t you think that something’s been off with our relationship over the past six months?”
She froze before she looked at him calmly. “What’s wrong?”
“Ada has been sending me messages and telling me the results of her maternity checkups.”

Silvia nodded. “I know. What does that have to do with us?”
“Aren’t you angry and jealous that another woman is sending such messages to me?”
When she saw his questioning gaze, she kept quiet for a moment. “I thought you were fine with it. Besides, you haven’t done anything that’s crossed the line,” she said.
Seeing how calm she was, the emotions that he had repressed for so long finally exploded.
“I don’t think any woman would be fine with her boyfriend frequently chatting with another woman, unless… she doesn’t love him anymore!”
Silvia tightened her grip on the coffee cup. She looked down and asked, “Did anything happen when you were on your business trip?”
Neil subconsciously clenched his fists. “Answer my question first!”
She sighed and helplessly said, “Neil, I didn’t get any sleep last night. Besides, you just came back from your business trip. Let’s talk about this once you’ve calmed down.”
After that, she went upstairs.
Just as she reached the staircase, she heard some messy footsteps behind her. All of a sudden, Neil grabbed her wrist!
