Adele in Love "The woman in the crowd"

29|| the surgery

Adele arrived at the venue, her mind still on Isy but determined to give her best performance. As she took the stage, she channeled her emotions into her music, knowing that she would be back at the hospital as soon as the concert was over. The night was filled with her passion and dedication, but her heart was always with Isy, waiting to return and provide the support and love she knew her partner needed.

As Adele finished her performance, she quickly changed out of her stage attire and took a much-needed shower. Her mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of Isy. Just as she was about to leave the dressing room, her manager hurried in, looking unusually grave.

"Adele, we need to talk," he said, his tone urgent.

Adele's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Is everything okay with Isy?"

Her manager hesitated for a moment before answering. "Isy's condition has worsened. The doctors called to inform me that her stability has deteriorated and the holes in her heart have increased in size at an alarming rate."

Adele's face went pale, and she grabbed her handbag, her hands shaking. "I need to go right now."

Without waiting for a response, Adele rushed out of the venue. The paparazzi, who had been waiting outside for a glimpse of her, immediately swarmed around her. Cameras flashed, and reporters shouted questions.

"Where's Isy?" one reporter yelled.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" another shouted.

Adele ignored them, focusing solely on getting to the hospital as quickly as possible. Her heart pounded in her chest as she navigated through the throng of journalists and climbed into the waiting car.

At the hospital, Adele rushed through the entrance and approached the front desk. "I need to see Isy," she said, her voice urgent. "I've been told her condition has worsened."

The receptionist looked up with a sympathetic expression. "I'm sorry, but you'll need to wait in the waiting area. The doctors are still assessing her."

Adele nodded, her anxiety mounting as she made her way to the waiting area. She paced back and forth, her mind racing with worry. Every minute felt like an eternity as she waited for news.

Eventually, Dr. Thompson walked in, looking tired but composed. He approached Adele with a reassuring yet serious expression.

"Adele, I'm glad you're here," he said. "We've been working hard to stabilize Isy. The situation is serious, but we're doing everything we can."

Adele's eyes were filled with worry. "What's the latest? How is she?"

Dr. Thompson took a deep breath before continuing. "The holes in her heart have indeed grown larger more rapidly than we anticipated. We're closely monitoring her condition and trying to manage the symptoms. We may need to consider surgical options if her condition doesn't improve."

Adele felt a wave of relief that Isy was receiving the best care, but the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on her. "Thank you for keeping me updated. Can I see her now?"

Dr. Thompson nodded. "You can visit her, but please be mindful that she's in a delicate state. The doctors are still working on her, and we'll keep you informed of any changes."

Adele thanked the doctor and headed towards Isy's room, her heart heavy with anticipation and concern. As she approached, she took a deep breath, ready to be by Isy's side and provide the support she needed during this challenging time.

As Adele made her way towards Isy's room, eager to be by her side, she saw a team of medical personnel rushing down the hallway with a gurney. Isy was on it, connected to monitors and IV lines, and the urgency in the medical team's movements was evident.
