Hopeful... that's probably because the day of your surgery her probably did care and the next day he probably didn't.
Not to be morbid but... surgery is always one complication away from going very badly. Part of his concern could've very well been born form self-interest. I'm sure he doesn't want to be widower father to a two year old. But once you were out and on the mend.. well, that danger went away, right?
