At the request of Ito Kenigoro, the Japanese doctors were ready to perform surgery on Kameida Shizuka.
Ruth Dawn, driven by worry, did not leave. She and William Cole waited in the lounge outside the operating room.
"Ah, if Shizuka can't have children, it would be too cruel for her."
Ruth sighed.
William Cole smiled, "You could have tried to stop it."
But Ruth shook her head, "Why should I put in effort and get no recognition in return? Ito has already let the Japanese doctors do the surgery."
"If I tried to stop them now, it would seem like I have an ulterior motive."
"Although Shizuka and I are good friends, there are limits between friends. I'm not her parent. Her fiancé is here making the decisions for her, I can't interfere too much."
Dr. Cole leaned back on a chair in the lounge, "You've changed a lot."
"Have I changed?"
Ruth turned around and looked at Dr. Cole with hesitation.
Dr. Cole nodded with a smile, "The old Ruth was stubborn."
