No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1633

Before stepping into the operating room, Ian looked at Eleanor. "Wait for me."

"I will."

Ian leaned down, pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead, and calmly walked through the doors.

The doors clicked shut behind him.

Eleanor stood in the hallway, staring at the closed doors, her heart inexplicably racing.

"Miss Sutton, there's tea and pastries prepared over here. Would you like to rest for a bit?" Gavin walked over and asked.

Eleanor nodded and moved to the nearby lounge area. She pulled out her phone, trying to read something to distract herself, but she couldn't focus on a single word.

Twenty minutes passed.

Then thirty.

Nearly an hour later, the doors to the operating room finally opened.

Ian was wheeled out. He looked a bit pale, but he was in good spirits.

They moved into a private recovery suite, and the doctor gave a few post-op instructions before leaving them alone.

Eleanor sat on the edge of the bed, unable to stop herself from asking, "Does it hurt?"

Ian smiled and shook his head. "No."

Eleanor knew that once the anesthesia wore off, he would definitely be uncomfortable.

"Are you heartbroken for me?" Ian asked, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

Eleanor nodded honestly.

Ian's voice suddenly grew husky. "Then you'll just have to make it up to me later."

Eleanor paused, then glared at him. "You just had surgery and you're still flirting."

He chuckled, clearly pleased with himself.

For the next week, Ian rested and worked from home.

Eleanor, meanwhile, was buried in her demanding research. She often worked late, but she did her best to come home early to spend time with their daughter.

That same week, Gina Quinn and Serena Goodwin officially moved into the villa community. The happiest person about this was Evelyn; now, she could go play at her grandmother's house right after school.

Gina had even hired two top-tier nannies specifically to manage Evelyn's meals.

Ian's surgery was kept strictly under wraps from the rest of the Goodwin family, mostly out of fear that Gina wouldn't be able to handle the news.
