“You…” Susana was speechless. She had indeed said that, but she never thought Caden would agree to be Mirabella’s assistant.
Caden was usually so arrogant, why the sudden change of attitude today? Was he smitten by Mirabella’s beauty?
Mirabella smiled and replied, “Don’t forget what you said.”
“Me? What did I say?” Susana suddenly remembered, “Oh, I did say that if you could save Phillip, I would kneel down and call you my God, but I doubt you have that ability! Don’t hold us accountable if you end up killing the patient!”
Mirabella laughed, her beautiful eyes sparkling with confidence, “You want to call me God, but I don’t want to accept a believer like you!”
“You-
“Don’t forget to kneel.” Mirabella said and left with Caden.
Susana watched her back, feeling like she couldn’t swallow, and said loudly, “If you can save Phillip, I’m willing to resign as deputy director!”
She patted her badge, “Let’s see if you have the ability to win it!”
Caden heard their “bet,” and casually asked, “Why did you start arguing with her?”
“She’s too arrogant.”
Exactly right, she had to know there were always people better than her.
Phillip was pushed into the operating room by two nurses, leaving only a few doctors in the ward.
“They’re all crazy!”
“This old man’s condition is so severe, he can’t be operated on. I think Dr. Caden is too young and doesn’t realize the grave consequences of failure! It’s not just a matter of reputation and career!”
If something went wrong, all their lives could be in danger!
“Dr. Greg, are we seriously not gonna stop this? This is a life we’re talking about.”
“How can we let them take such a risk with Phillip’s high status? Dr. Greg, you gotta say something!”
“Yeah, we should stop them right now. We still got time.”
The female director seemed more optimistic, “Dr. Caden comes from a lineage of medical geniuses. Even though he might not be on par with top-tier experts, his profound medical skills might just pull off a miracle.”
The male director also harbored a glimmer of hope, “Dr. Caden is a widely acknowledged genius doctor. With him around, a miracle might just happen.”
“You guys are all mixing it up. He’s just the assistant to that girl. She’s the one doing the surgery! She’s just a kid, how could she possibly know anything about medicine?” Dr. Lauren was all antsy, “Dr. Greg, say something!”
“Dr. Lauren, what are you so worried about? Dr. Caden said if anything goes wrong, he’ll take full responsibility.”
“But the patient is Romeo McMillian’s dear old grandpa. If the surgery fails, Romeo might blame us for not stopping it.”
“Then we’ll just say that it was Dr. Caden who insisted on doing the surgery, and we couldn’t stop him.” Susana decided, after all, it was Dr. Caden who willingly chose to take the risk with the young girl.
The young girl had no clue about Phillip’s real identity. If she knew, she would’ve probably freaked out and bolted. How would she dare to take on this difficult case?
Dr. Greg finally broke the silence and said, “Let’s just see how she handles this patient.”
After Dr. Greg left, several other doctors trailed behind him. “Dr. Greg, you can’t just watch. We need to do something before Mr. McMillian arrives…”
Susana turned to a nurse and said, “Turn on all the cameras in the operating room. I want to record everything. Plus, it’ll be fun to watch her make a fool of herself!”
Word spread around the hospital about a complex surgery being performed by a high school girl, and doctors flocked to watch. mA young girl could cure a disease that even Dr. Greg can’t handle. Was this some kind of joke?
As Mirabella donned her surgical gown and prepared to enter the operating room, Susana approached her. “Just a heads-up, the old man’s pericardium was damaged in a previous surgery. His heart is practically glued to his sternum. If you’re not careful during the operation, you could rupture his heart and kill him. Then you’re done.”
“I’m not you,” Mirabella replied coolly, her beautiful eyes sparkling. “I won’t make such a rookie mistake.”
Furious, Susana stomped and stormed off, muttering, “I can’t wait to see how you handle the first cut.”
The observation room was packed with doctors, all stunned to see a young girl at the helm of the surgery.
“Dr. Greg, where did this girl come from? Are you seriously letting her run wild?”
“She looks like she hasn’t even graduated from high school… The patient is Mr. McMillian’s grandpa…”
“If anything goes wrong, we’re all screwed.”
“She likes the spotlight, Dr. Caden is willing to take the fall for her. Why should you guys worry?” Susana stood with her arms crossed, watching the girl through the large glass wall with a sarcastic smile.
Mirabella put on her surgical mask, her captivating eyes were bright and steady, and she exuded confidence.
“Adjust the body position.”
“Start the anesthesia.”
“Disinfect the skin.”
“Hand me the scalpel.”
Mirabella issued orders to Caden in a methodical manner.
The doctors in the observation room were all taken aback.
“Does she really know what she’s doing?”
“She seems to be following the right steps…”
“Could she actually save Phillip?”
Susana sneered, “Maybe she learned it all from TV. Don’t get your hopes up.”
If this girl could actually save lives, she would eat a scalpel on live TV.
When the doctors saw Mirabella holding the scalpel in her left hand, they all gasped.
“What’s going on? She’s left-handed?”
“Left-handed surgeons aren’t as steady as right-handed ones.”
“If she’s right-handed but deliberately using her left hand, she’s nuts!”
“She doesn’t seem to be taking this seriously.”
“Maybe she never intended to perform the surgery. Dr. Greg, how could you trust a little girl’s words? We’re screwed!”
Nobody would dare to use their left hand for such a major surgery!
