At that moment, Byron suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, with the Hansen family behind him.
“What…
what’s going on?”
“Isn’t that Eason’s ex-girlfriend? Why is she and Byron…”
Byron’s third brother and third sister-in-law spoke out one after another.
His second brother and the second sister-in-law also looked at them with astonishment and gave a puzzled glance at Lydia and Eason occasionally.
Only Mark showed a playful expression.
But in fact, the Hansen family was confused, as well as Cora herself.
She didn’t expect Byron to make such a move. This not only admitted his relationship with her but also showed his affection.
She was worried that it was inappropriate for a while and wanted to push Byron away.
She didn’t expect the man’s hoarse voice to come from her neck.
“Don’t move. I wanna have a break.”
Cora felt that Byron’s voice was a bit dull, wondering if it was because of depression or the nose pressure.
Cora thought, after all, the person lying in the emergency room was his father. No wonder Byron was so sad.
So she didn’t push him away.
“You can tell me what’s going on now. My major is cardiac surgery, and I will choose it as my future career.”
“I don’t know. The servant called in the afternoon and said that Dad suddenly fainted and was sent here. He is still in the emergency room.”
The lights in the emergency room went out, and the door opened before Byron finished speaking.
In an instant, all the Hansen family members went over.
Byron also let go of Cora and stepped forward quickly…
“Doctor, how is the situation?”
“After the rescue, Old Mr. Hansen has managed to recover his life.”
The doctor’s words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, especially Lydia, who hurriedly made a gesture of gratitude and said,
“Thank goodness, thank goodness!”
But Mark’s expression paused for a moment.
Luckily, everyone was looking at the doctor, so his unusual expression went unnoticed by most people.
“However, the current condition of Old Mr. Hansen is still not optimistic. We must perform the valve replacement surgery as soon as possible. Although the surgery is relatively mature now, the success rate is extremely low due to the severe heart failure.”
The doctor’s words made the complexion of the members of the Hansen family change again.
Byron’s expression turned serious as he pressed the doctor for more information, asking,
“What is the success rate?”
“Due to the extremely severe heart failure of Old Mr. Hansen, the assessed success rate is only around ten percent.”
Lydia burst into tears once again.
“Oh, dear God, please spare my elderly father. I am willing to trade thirty years of my own life to give him more than ten years, so he can witness his yet-to-be-born great-
grandchild and see Byron start a family and build a career.”
However, whether this prayer was entirely sincere or partly put on for show, discerning people could see through it clearly.
Mark furrowed his brow, unsure about what he was thinking.
“However, if you can get Professor Smith to perform the surgery personally, the success rate will significantly increase. There was a patient with a condition even more severe than Old Mr. Hansen’s who, after undergoing valve replacement surgery with Professor Smith’s direct involvement, is still healthy and alive to this day.”
“Has Professor Smith gone abroad?”
Eason chimed in, asking at the right moment.
“No, he has retired and is not taking on any surgeries anymore,”
the doctor replied. However, the doctor believed that with the financial resources and connections of the Hansen family, they should be able to persuade Evan to perform the surgery.
Then, the doctor left.
Upon hearing that Osborn’s rescue operation had concluded, Jane hurriedly came over to Byron and said,
“Byron, I know where Professor Smith lives.”
“That’s great news, Miss Yoris. You are truly a lucky star of our family!”
Lydia was moved to tears on the spot and almost bowed in gratitude to Jane.
“Miss Yoris, could you please go with Byron now and find Professor Smith?”
Patrick and Ben were not as emotionally overwhelmed as Lydia, but they earnestly entrusted Jane with the task.
“Then, Byron, you go with Miss Yoris to find Professor Smith, and I’ll stay here at the hospital,”
Mark said.
Despite being aware of Cora’s concerns about not having much contact with Jane, Byron understood that she wouldn’t mind much in that situation. So, he nodded and prepared to inform Cora before setting off with Jane.
But Cora suddenly spoke up.
“Professor Smith is currently in Kinton, and there’s no point in trying to find him.”
Almost in that instant, their gaze turned towards Cora.
Byron also looked at Cora with a slight frown and asked,
“How do you know that Professor Smith is not in New York?”
Before Cora could respond, Jane quickly said,
“Dr. Lane, I met with Professor Smith yesterday and had some academic discussions with him!”
Cora didn’t pay much attention to Jane’s almost boastful tone and calmly met Byron’s gaze.
“Professor Smith was called to Kinton for an emergency symposium on atherosclerosis, so he rushed there overnight. Besides, it’s pointless to seek his help because he didn’t perform that surgery back then.”
“Not him? Did you mean you were the one who performed the surgery?”
Jane hesitated for a moment and quickly asked back.
On that innocent and seemingly desireless face, there was now an unmistakable veil of sarcasm and mockery that she couldn’t conceal.
Because she was also studying cardiac surgery, she knew very well that the success of Evan’s operation at that time almost caused a sensation in the entire medical world.
So far, that operation was still a classic case of cardiac surgery in major medical universities, and it would be mentioned in every academic exchange.
Even her father, William, was deeply impressed by that surgery to this day. He had been advising Jane to find opportunities to communicate more with Evan.
That was also the reason why Jane went to visit Professor Smith yesterday.
However, Cora, in an attempt to claim credit for herself, had the audacity to try and undermine Evan’s contributions in front of the Hansen family.
Jane found it both amusing and disdainful, but little did she know that there was even more to come.
“Three years ago, I indeed performed that surgery. So, instead of waiting for Professor Smith to return, it’s better to give me Old Mr. Hansen’s medical records and examination data now. I’ll study and develop a surgical plan in the meantime.”
Cora’s tone remained unusually indifferent, but after her words were spoken, Jane couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“From what I know, you still don’t have the qualification to be a surgeon, do you?”
Compared to the Hansen family, Jane, also being a doctor, was well aware of the numerous challenges one must overcome to become a surgeon.
As of then, Cora was still working at the First Hospital, somewhere between being the first and second assistant in surgeries.
Some of it was intentional, as she tried to suppress Cora and prevent her from making a mark in this area. Therefore, she was well aware of whether Cora had the qualifications to be a lead surgeon or not.
“Besides, how old were you three years ago? Did you mean you became a surgeon and performed a surgery that shook the medical world at that age? I’m afraid that you did that in your dream.”
Jane couldn’t help but mockingly reply, almost without concealing her sarcasm,
“You really dare say anything just to show off in front of Byron and his family. But don’t forget, this is a matter of life and death!”
After Jane’s passionate
“righteous”
rebuke, almost all the members of the Hansen family couldn’t help but feel somewhat awkward and speechless when they looked at Cora.
Even Eason muttered,
“Cora, even if you want to be with Uncle Byron, you can’t tell such lies. Just because you might be able to save Grandfather, it doesn’t mean your relationship with Uncle Byron will work out.”
After hearing Eason’s words, Lydia thought about how Eason and Cora had been in a relationship three years ago. If Cora had really performed such a surgery, there was no way Eason wouldn’t know about it. That gave Lydia even more confidence in her retort.
“You are really ruthless in trying to get into our family. You even dare to make up such stories!”
Only Byron’s gaze remained deep and inscrutable, and his eyes locked onto Cora.
And Cora also looked back at Byron, her eyes filled with seriousness and determination.
“I am well aware that this is a matter of life and death, which is why I spoke up about it.”
A year ago, Evan wanted to reveal the truth about that surgery to the public so that Cora could enter the professional field and progress more quickly.
After that surgery, Cora noticed that Evan was compelled to participate in various academic exchanges and symposiums. She believed that if the truth were revealed, it would affect her studies. Moreover, she didn’t like being in the limelight, so she chose to decline the offer to go public.
Cora spoke up that day because she couldn’t bear to see Byron so upset and wanted to help him.
However, she didn’t expect to be ridiculed by Jane in such a way.
Moreover, she also noticed that under Jane’s questioning, almost all the members of the Hansen family looked at her with a hint of disdain. They probably thought that Jane’s words made sense and that she was just a woman using any means to marry into a wealthy family.
However, Cora didn’t really care about what others thought because they held no significance to her.
The only person she cared about was Byron. As long as he believed in her, she would do everything she could to snatch Osborn from the hands of the grim reaper!
As Cora met his gaze, Byron suddenly asked a question.
