Chapter 283 Creating an Opportunity

• “The surgery was very successful, but the next steps in Mr. Howard’s recovery will depend on his own willpower,” the doctor informed Ben and Alfred, to their relief.
• A few hours later, Han Howard had woken up from the surgery, but he was still groggy from the anesthesia. Ben quickly brought a glass of water for him. Han took a sip from the glass and scanned his surroundings. His eyes seemed to become lifeless once he realized that the person he wanted to see the most was not around. Wordlessly, he put the glass of water back down on his bedside table and stared blankly into space.
• Alfred was the first to break the awkward silence in the room. “Mr. Howard, your surgery was very successful,” he said encouragingly. He thought Han would have been happy to hear that, but the man lying on the bed right now did not seem to care. It was as if he came out of the surgery a completely different man.
