Julie lowered her head shyly as she spoke, gazing at the diamond ring on her ring finger.

"Well, I think you and Mr. Navarro should hold the wedding first.

That's also what Maria wants. If you disagree, then you can directly discuss that with Maria after her operation," Anthony replied. He left the final decision to Maria.

While they were talking, the light on the door of the operating room suddenly turned green.

The next moment, the door was opened, and the nurses wheeled someone out.

Many people were waiting outside the door of the operating room, including Anthony and Julie as well as the two most honorable elders of the Jenkins family, Clark and Denis.

Some people from the Yeez Entertainment, the Pill Alchemist Association, the Smith family in Broome, the Writers Association and the Jade Carving Association were also here.

Of all these people, no one came forward to comfort the woman who was pushed out of the operating room at that time.

The reason was that the woman was Barbara.

For this surgical operation to be successful, it required a perfect combination of ancient martial arts technology and modern medical technology. Barbara was not anesthetized for long, and once the operation was over, she was pushed out of the operating room.

At this moment, she was awake, and her face was pale. She kept muttering, "My heart... My healthy heart... Don't give me that weak heart... I know I was wrong... But don't take my heart away... Don't give me back that ill heart..."

Clark and Denis showed Barbara no mercy. Using ancient martial arts technology, they had managed to keep Barbara's ill heart intact for years. Now they had transplanted that heart back into Barbara's body.

Twenty years ago, Barbara was diagnosed with a congenital heart malformation. Now that they had transplanted that same heart back into her body, how long could it keep her alive?

However, no one cared about it.

It was almost the same as twenty years ago when Maria had her healthy heart forcefully removed and transplanted into Barbra's body.

Those who operated at that time as well as all those who participated in it did not care for Maria for a single moment.

Barbara was pushed away and sent to a ward.

"You can go in now," Julie said in a low voice. She was actually talking to Anthony. However, even before she said so, Anthony was already walking toward where Maria was.

Looking at Anthony, Julie said to the other people outside, “Let's wait a little longer!"

“Okay!" Smiling, Clark and Denis replied in unison. The other people present naturally agreed as well.

Next to the operating room was the nursing room where Maria was in.

When Anthony entered, he saw Maria leaning against the bed. Instead of resting, she picked up her laptop and turned it on.

Anthony was shocked.

"How can you think of working at this time?" he exclaimed.
