Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1595

Every medication and emergency protocol had been exhausted. If the bleeding didn't stop now, the only option left was a hysterectomy.

Sweat soaked through her scrubs, and her eyes stung with moisture.

Every breath she took pulled sharply at her heart.

The other doctors held their breath, waiting anxiously for the outcome.

Time dragged on, second by agonizing second.

The heavy scent of blood permeated the room, and the tension on everyone's faces was palpable.

Finally—

The doctor monitoring the blood flow let out a joyous shout. "Ms. Payne, the bleeding has stopped!"

"Thank god!"

The other doctors crowded in to check the vitals.

Her color had returned, her vitals were stabilizing, and her eyes fluttered slightly.

The surgery was a success.

They had literally snatched her back from the jaws of death.

No.

To be precise, Juniper had kicked down the doors of hell and dragged her back.

"Mhm."

Juniper lowered her gaze, looking at a stabilizing Celine. A sound barely louder than a whisper escaped her throat.

Mhm.

As long as she's alive.

—

Outside the operating room.

The family huddled around the doors, their eyes glued to the surgical light.

It had been a full eight hours since Celine was taken inside.

Not a single person had come out with an update. No one knew what was happening.

Just then.

The surgical light flicked off. Everyone's nerves instantly pulled taut as they rushed toward the exit.

The doors swung open.

Juniper walked out slowly, her hair entirely drenched in sweat, her face pale as a sheet.

"Right here!" Luella quickly brought the baby over, presenting him like a grand prize, keeping her voice to a whisper. "Look how plump and cute he is."

"Just don't say 'chubby' too loud, or he'll start wailing. He's got lungs on him."

"He really is plump." Juniper gently poked his cheek with her fingertip. It was impossibly soft. "No wonder your mom is so thin. You stole all her nutrients."

"Huh?"

Luella stared at the baby, waiting for the inevitable screaming fit. "Wait, why isn't he crying?"

He cried when she called him plump, but not when Juniper did?

The blatant favoritism!

"Can you smile? Come on, give Auntie a smile!" Juniper playfully tapped his chin, teasing him like a puppy.

"Newborns can't smile yet, can they?" Luella muttered, not entirely sure.

But the little guy, who had just been preparing to pout and cry, suddenly broke into a sweet, gummy grin.

"Ahhhh!"

Coralie practically squealed from the sheer overload of cuteness. "He is too precious! Can I order one from the government? I want one just like him!"

Arthur: "?"

Warren: "?"
