In just an hour, the news of Brandon Piers' failed heart surgery spread like wildfire.
Ruby Green had just learned about it, and her face looked extremely ugly. "Failed surgery? Is he dead?"
"He shouldn't be, but he probably won't live long." Jackson Taylor answered cautiously. Although he was Ruby Green's uncle, he had relied on Ruby and her mother for the past few years, so he was especially diligent, knowing how important this engagement with the Piers family was to Ruby.
"Useless. Wasn't it Dean Foster who performed the surgery? Why did it fail? And why did he have to have surgery before the engagement?" Ruby Green was furious, speaking without thinking.
Jackson Taylor quickly glanced outside the ward and closed the door. "Ruby, be careful with your words."
