Chapter 1093
Rufus quickly walked up to Olivia.
“You’re Vanessa, right? I’ve heard Joel talk about you.”
Olivia suppressed the complicated emotions she was feeling. She feared that the others might pick up the change in her mood. So, she tried her best to make her voice seem steady.
“Yes, Mr. Moran, I’m Vanessa.”
“I didn’t expect the renowned Vanessa to be so young. I’ll assist you with this operation. Any objections?”
Before Olivia could turn him down, Krystal yelled, “Why should she be the one to operate, Mr. Moran?
“She’s not as experienced as Dr. Gatsby. Who will be responsible if anything happens to my father?”
“Krystal, I’ve seen videos of her performing surgery. She might be young, but she had steady hands and a calm demeanor. Lionel is
pretty old. People like us don’t have the reflexes of a younger person.
Also…”
Rufus didn’t mention one crucial issue with Lionel. He shouldn’t be
allowed at the operating table.
“Mr. Moran, I’m not doubting you, but both you and Mr. Tucker are vouching for an unknown doctor over Dr. Gatsby. If anything happens to my father on the operating table, will you two be able to take
responsibility?”
Chapter 1093
Yale said, “No one can guarantee the success of an operation, much less such a young doctor like her.”
Ethan wanted to speak up, but Olivia pinched him on his palm to stop
him.
“Alright, enough of this. I think this is an important surgery. I’d feel better if Dr. Gatsby was the one in charge of the surgery.”
Tatiana finally made a decision.
Krystal’s eyes lit up. “Let’s not wait around anymore. The surgery has to start soon. I’m afraid my dad…”
Joel didn’t say anything else, whilst Rufus looked worried.
As they entered the operating room, Rufus asked Lionel secretly, “Tell me the truth, Lionel. How are your hands?”
They had known each other for many years. Lionel fell sick abruptly ten years ago. His hands would shake when he was under great
mental stress.
Rufus was there with him when that happened. So, he witnessed it in
person.
Lionel didn’t go into the operating room much after that. Then, he retired on time, refusing offers to return to the hospital.
Rufus hadn’t seen him for a few years. It was like he had completely disappeared from the medical field. The issue with his hands was also unknown.
Lionel showed Rufus his hands. “Do I look like I’m in trouble? Rufus, I
know you’re looking out for me, but I need this opportunity.”
Lionel had a son who committed a crime some time ago. He wanted to save Mason’s life in exchange for his son’s pardon.
He had been undergoing treatment for his hands in the past years. It hadn’t relapsed for a long time.
Rufus looked at him worriedly. “I really hope that’s the case. Let’s go.”
Krystal glanced at Olivia. “Why are you following us? A third-rate doctor like you is not qualified to operate on my father.”
“Krystal! She’s an important guest of mine. Show some respect,” Ethan said coldly.
Krystal’s arrogant attitude was quite justified. If they were in ancient times, she would be a princess. Naturally, she felt a commoner like Olivia was beneath her.
Krystal stomped her foot. “Ethan, why are you so protective of her? She just saved your life. You can repay her with some money. You shouldn’t have brought her here. It’s obvious she’s just trying to climb the social ladder.”
Tatiana waved her hand, and someone handed her an envelope.
“Krystal, don’t be so rude. Miss, I’m so sorry. Thanks for coming over. This is your payment. I’ll have someone send you back in a bit.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
