Eight cardiologists were behind him, all top figures in the industry.
Ronan coldly looked at the chief surgeon in the operating room and asked, "Who is she?"
She was wearing a medical mask, only revealing a pair of clear eyes.
Strangely, her eyes seemed familiar to him.
"She is..."
Kolten looked over, his heart racing. If he told the truth, Ronan might kill him right away.
Ryker flew into a rage and snapped, "How can Shepard Hospital be so irresponsible? Does she even have a medical license or any related experience? Do you think whoever is bold enough can operate on Sir Lucero? What were you thinking about?"
"Mr. Erickson, please hear me out!"
Kolten was so frightened that he felt limp all over, too nervous to say a single word.
The other doctors in the observation room were all scared out of their wits.
Although Georgia was trembling with terror, she bit the bullet and replied, "Dr. Randy Conrad said if anything happened to Sir Lucero, he would take full responsibility."
"Nice try. Yet none of you will get away!"
After Georgia heard that, her face turned pale, at a loss for words.
"Mr. Lucero, should we let our experts in to rescue Sir Lucero right now? I will handle the chief surgeon and her assistant. None of these people can get away with it."
After finishing speaking, Ryker indifferently glanced around. He had just made up his mind to let them pay a heavy price for their reckless behavior!
Suddenly, the eight experts behind Ronan began to exclaim in surprise.
"She separated all the adhesion."
"Not a single blood vessel is injured, and even the heart tissue is intact. And she is holding the scalpel with her left hand!"
"How did she do it?"
It was an extremely difficult surgery, but Abigail was handling it effortlessly as if it were as easy as brushing her own teeth.
After dealing with the adhesion, she raised her beautiful eyes.
Her refined demeanor made her look even more impressive.
"Professor Hood, who is she?"
"Is she a new doctor at the hospital? I wonder if I can have the honor to consult her later?"
"I also have some questions to ask her."
Not only Ryker but everyone else present was shocked.
"What she accomplished is amazing!"
"Even experienced experts cannot guarantee they can separate all the adhesion within such a short time."
"Maybe she just looks young. Inside her could be the soul of an old doctor."
It was hard to explain why she could do such a thing.
Ronan remained solemn. His handsome eyes showed inquiry, but no one could tell what was on his mind.
Georgia couldn't help but mock. "Even though she didn't hurt the blood vessels or heart tissue, there is not much tissue left around his heart valves, given that Sir Lucero had undergone too many surgeries. He has only a few mitral valve annuli, which makes it hard to place the artificial heart valves."
This was one of the reasons why they had hesitated to perform surgery.
"Georgia!" Kolten hissed in dissatisfaction.
Georgia put on a righteous expression as she went on, "I just want everyone to know Sir Lucero has a serious heart infection and tissue edema. It will be extremely difficult to suture the artificial valves. If there is any problem with her suture, Sir Lucero's heart function will not recover. And there is a high possibility of serious complications."
Kolten knew she desired to stir up trouble, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Lucero, the surgeon's medical skills are excellent. I think she'll be able to handle it well. What's more, Dr. Randy Conrad is her assistant. He's from a family of doctors and is a talented doctor himself. Plus, his grandfather is Vincent Conrad, a well-known doctor both at home and abroad."
Vincent Conrad?
Ronan knowingly blinked. The male assistant turned out to be Randy, Vincent's only grandson. He had also invited Vincent over today, but Vincent had not arrived yet because of a traffic jam.
Seeing Ronan remain silent with an indifferent face, Kolten trembled in fright, wondering what he was thinking about.
Soon, Abigail's superb suturing skills made all the doctors present feel inferior.
She finished the surgery perfectly. Nothing went wrong!
Irving survived!
"Take him back to his ward," Abigail ordered.
After she washed her hands and walked out of the operating room, many doctors waiting outside applauded her for her medical skills.
Seeing this, Georgia couldn't help clenching her fists so hard that her nails dug into her palms. She had not expected this damned girl to be so capable.
When Irving was wheeled out of the operating room, many doctors stepped forward to confirm whether he was still breathing. Then, they found his condition quite stable.
"Please get back to your own position. The patient needs to rest."
Randy knew Abigail must have been tired. After all, they spent two hours in the operating room, fully concentrated. It was already 2 P.M., so he assumed that she must be hungry, too.
After the doctors had come to watch the fun dispersed, only Ronan, the eight cardiologists, Kolten, and Georgia left.
Randy turned to Abigail and said, "I'll take Sir Lucero back to his ward now. Be right back."
Abigail nodded and took off her mask, revealing her delicate and bright face.
"Where's the family?" Abigail asked.
A man stepped forward and stood in front of her.
Abigail looked at him. His facial features seemed to be meticulously sculpted by the hands of some supernatural being because they were so perfect.More importantly, she seemed to have seen him before."Mr. Lucero, here's the thing. When Sir Lucero was critically ill, I boldly promised this lady a large amount of remuneration as long as she could save his life," Kolten hurriedly asked for a remuneration for Abigail.Ronan looked at her, a ripple of emotion in his eyes. Then, he glanced at Ryker.Ryker immediately took out a blank check, handed it over, and said, "Thank you for your help, Doctor! This is the reward from Mr. Lucero. You can fill in whatever amount you want."Abigail raised her bright eyes in surprise, wondering who the man was. She hadn't expected him to be so generous.The people around them all looked at her in shock and envy.After getting the blank check, she would earn more than just a large amount of money. The check was a token of Ronan's affirmation. So, she wou
"What's your name?" he asked.It was evident that he didn't usually speak much. Even his expression was as indifferent as his speech.Abigail responded confidently, "Abigail.""Please give me your phone number." Ronan handed out his phone, indicating for her to enter her number.Since Abigail accepted the blank check, she naturally understood what he meant. If there were any problems with Irving later, she would be responsible for handling them. He needed her contact information to find her in time.Taking the man's phone with her slender fingers, she typed a string of numbers. Then she looked up and returned the phone."Sir Lucero has undergone multiple thoracotomies, and early postoperative sternal instability can hinder healing. There may also be discomfort in his lower left limb due to repeated intubations during extracorporeal circulation. These are all normal phenomena."Telling him these conditions in advance would avoid future trouble.Ronan's eyes traced Abigail's facial feat
"Abby, here are scented tea, fruit, and snacks. Feel free to take whatever you want. Just help yourself. You're home now!" Kevin said dotingly.Abigail picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.Lauryn said with mixed feelings, " I never meant to lose you back then.""I know." Faced with her mother's sadness, Abigail felt touched. "How did you find me?""A while ago, the Guzmans issued a missing person notice, mentioning what happened back then. After an investigation, we found out that you are our daughter, and the daughter we have raised for eighteen years is not our biological daughter..."As she spoke, Lauryn shed tears. "I'm sorry, it's our fault that you ended up in someone else's home."Kevin also felt guilty. "It was my fault for being so confused back then and bringing Courtney home without investigating her background. This time, we also investigated her parentage. Her birth mother died in that big fire, and her father's whereabouts are unknown. So we want to discuss it
"How about this pair?" Kevin presented a pair of white sneakers to Abigail."Abby, how about this shoulder bag?" Lauryn took off a bag. "It's as if it's tailor-made for you... It would look good on you!"Abigail's eyes sparkled like lacquer, her temperament refined and otherworldly, as she listened to them talking.Courtney, standing on the side, had turned pale and looked utterly shocked.She couldn't believe her ears!'What happened? What exactly is going on? Why are Mom and Dad treating Abigail as their daughter and giving her so many Alana Designs limited editions?'As she saw them surround Abigail with a look of concern, a feeling of panic welled up in Courtney's heart.'I was only away for a month? What is all this?'"All of them are in your size. If you don't like them, I will have another batch made!" Kevin looked fondly at Abigail."It's not necessary," Abigail said with a charming smile and a soft voice. "They are all lovely."Zack could sense from Abigail's tone that she wa
"Zack, thank you for coming in person today," Lauryn expressed her gratitude and then turned to Enrique. "Enrique, please take good care of him.""I will. Mr. Patterson, please follow me."Zack knew that the family still had something to discuss, so he glanced at Abigail, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then followed Enrique downstairs."Come on, let's sit down and talk."Lauryn took Abigail's hand and beckoned Courtney to sit down.For Courtney, this scene was like a thorn piercing deeply into her heart."Courtney, let me re-introduce her. Her name is Abigail Baldwin. She is our daughter who we lost track of."Upon hearing these words, Courtney was thunderstruck.She always thought that Abigail was a distant relative who came to borrow money, but she didn't expect that Abigail was her parents' daughter...No wonder her parents treated Abigail so well!"Here's what happened. I picked up the wrong baby. As for your biological mother..." Lauryn hesitated to speak at first, but finally
In the villa of the Baldwin family.Kevin and Lauryn came to the dining table and delivered various breakfasts to their two daughters."Dad, this is your favorite breakfast herbal tea. I'll make you a cup of tea." Courtney stood up and poured the tea from the white porcelain teapot into Kevin's cup. Then she picked up another blue teapot and poured the fruit tea inside into Lauryn's cup. "Mom, this is your favorite fruit tea. Drink it while it's warm."Lauryn hadn't expected her daughter to still remember their habits. She smiled lovingly and took a sip from the teacup.Courtney, like a victor after a battle, deliberately glanced at Abigail.Abigail was her parents' biological daughter, but so what? After spending so many years together with her parents, no one knew their habits better than her.How could Abigail fail to see her through? She looked calm and ate the delicate food on the plate slowly. She never took what Courtney did seriously."Abby, I don't know what kind of tea you l
At the end of the fire, the entire hospital was turned into ashes.She always felt that someone had set the fire on purpose.Leon said, "If I find out that the fire was deliberately set off by someone and caused you to have such a difficult life in the Guzman family, I will not let him go!"After chatting for a while, Abigail saw that the time was almost up, and Marisa should be at the appointed place soon, so she went downstairs, "Mom, I'm going out for a while.""Okay..." Lauryn originally wanted to ask her daughter where she was going, who she was going to meet, and what she was going to do, but she was afraid that her daughter would be annoyed. So she could only ask with a smile, "Shall I ask Braydon to drive you?""Mom." Courtney on the side couldn't help but say, "I just asked Braydon to take me to a place later. I have an appointment with a friend..."Lauryn frowned slightly, "Can't you ask Duncan to drive you?""Duncan has a habit of taking a nap. If he wakes up now, I'm afrai
"The starting price is 200,000."Hearing what the system said, Marisa sighed. The leftovers were worth 200,000...There were three buttons in front of the glass wall, marked with one hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, and one million respectively.In other words, the minimum price increase was 100,000 per click.Courtney, who was standing in front of the glass wall, saw blue amounts of money flashing on the glass walls of other rooms. After several rounds of competition, the price had risen to 1.2 million."Courtney, this thing is pretty good. You can buy it and make soup for Sir Lucero. Firstly, it will be good for his health. Secondly, he will know that you are a virtuous woman and can make soup. I'm sure he will be impressed by you... "Courtney wanted to get this treasure, but other bidders were so competitive. She pressed 100,000 a few times but couldn't get it. In the end, she made up her mind and directly pressed 1 million!At this time, the audience fell silent."2.5 mil
Courtney was stunned for a few seconds, as if frozen in place."Can you, like her, accept her in front of your parents and brother? Just as she accepted you?"Riley saw her lost in thought and patted her head, "Think about what big brother said tonight before going to bed. I hope that next time he comes home, he can see a different you."Riley's biological clock was still accurate. There were only three minutes left until his bedtime. He stood up and did not make any exceptions for anyone.Before he left, he specifically said, "If I were you, I would cherish everything in front of me, not wait until it's lost to regret it."Courtney looked at him in astonishment."Goodnight," Riley took a step and left the terrace.Seeing Riley leave, Janet, who was hiding in the dark, quickly appeared and said, "Miss Courtney, are you alright?"She had secretly followed Riley since she went to find Miss Courtney just now.I thought Rile
Due to significant damage to their central nervous system, as well as respiratory tract infections, anemia, disturbances of water and electrolyte balance, and other conditions, my grandparents required multiple medications.She first prepared the medicine she needed to take for the next three days, grinding them into powder for easy mixing with water.Unconsciously, it was already 8:30 in the evening and I had been busy.Riley and others were in the lush courtyard, raising their watches and looking towards the direction of the gate, but they never saw the figure of their sister returning home.Did she go out for something? Is she going to see that doctor?I don't know whether that doctor was a man or a woman. If it was a man, going alone so late, would my sister be taken advantage of?At this moment, Marilyn approached respectfully and reported, "Riley, the daisies you ordered have been planted. Would you like to go up and take a look?"
Riley suddenly became curious about her sister's position in the medical field. She wondered how her sister could come up with a solution to such a difficult medical condition in an instant.As is well known, the most skilled doctor internationally was Elian. It was said that his medical skills were extraordinary, capable of bringing the dead back to life. However, he was elusive, and no one knew his whereabouts.Since my grandparents were admitted to the ICU, he had sent people multiple times to inquire about Elian's whereabouts, hoping to ask him to come forward and save my grandparents.Some people said that he had already died, while others said that he had once appeared at Secret Delta. Whether these pieces of information are reliable or not, nobody knows.Did my sister learn her medical skills from Elian?If it was true, then surely the grandparents would be saved!"Abby, you seem so confident in that doctor's medical skills. It seems
"Abby, you saved your grandmother! In such a short time, you brought her back from the brink of death! You are truly amazing!" Kevin was extremely excited and wanted to hug her.To our surprise, Lauryn hugged her daughter first and said, "Great, your grandmother is fine! She scared us just now!"I'm afraid something might have happened to her elderly lady...I didn't expect my daughter's medical skills to be so brilliant.No wonder Sergio always praised her excellent medical skills before.It turns out that it was not that the old person favored Abby, but Abby really had the ability!Her medical skills were really superb!The decisiveness, calmness, and wisdom she displayed during the process of rescuing someone just now were truly impressive!Abigail was suddenly embraced by her mother, a feeling of being loved, pampered, and valued that she had never experienced from childhood to adulthood."If your grandmother woke up
"Mom, why don't you take Courtney out for a walk?" Riley reminded.Lauryn, also feeling heavy-hearted from her crying, stood up and pulled Courtney, "Courtney, let's go outside."Don't disturb grandparents' rest.When Courtney stood up, she pretended to be unsteady and threw herself into Lauryn's arms. "Mom, when will grandpa and grandma wake up? I'm so worried, I feel so uneasy... I feel dizzy, I can barely stand.""I know you're filial." Lauryn patted her back. "Mom believes that your grandparents are good people, and they will definitely recover soon.""I'm going to talk to the doctor," Kevin said. He couldn't control his emotions several times and stood up with red eyes, taking the first step out of the ward.When there were only the two siblings left in the ward, Riley asked softly, "Can you still take a pulse?"Abigail was taken aback for a moment, but she answered truthfully, "I know a little.""What went wrong with that
"Hello," Abigail nodded slightly to show politeness.The head nurse took one look and noticed that this young lady's demeanor appeared even more noble than Courtney's. Could she possibly be a relative of the Baldwin family?He seemed to come from a prestigious family, well-mannered, and there was no trace of the fragility and stubbornness that Courtney exuded. It was evident that he was someone who understood the bigger picture."Did Mom and Dad wake up today?" Lauryn asked with a glimmer of hope, although she knew the chances were extremely low."Sir Baldwin and Madam Baldwin had not woken up yet. In the past three days, their condition has not been very good..."The daily monitoring data and doctor's advice would be updated in the background of a software every day for Kevin and Lauryn to check at any time.Lauryn also noticed in the past few days that the data of the two elderly people has been gradually declining. The doctor's comment wa
After work, Riley brought Abigail to Mosley Hospital and parked the car in the VIP garage. Just as they got out of the car, they saw their motorhome approaching from a distance and parking in the spot next to theirs.This floor was exclusively for their family, the VIP floor where vehicles of other patients' families were not allowed to enter, ensuring excellent privacy.Kevin helped Lauryn out of the car while Courtney pretended to still be in pain from her previous fall and also asked her father for assistance.As soon as Courtney got out of the car, she immediately held Kevin's left hand and Lauryn's right hand, and said with a smile, "Big brother, sister, you're here too?"Riley's gaze fell on her arm, and she said, neither lightly nor heavily, "If someone didn't know, they would think that our parents are only yours. We are all grown-ups, yet still so childish."This is childish, I don't know if it means she is naive and loves to act coquettis
"Um." Riley finally picked up the coffee and took a sip.Abigail also picked up the cup and tasted it, "Not bad."At this moment, someone brought the snack cabinet and snacks again. Jaylin personally organized them and said, "Ms. Abigail, Mr. Baldwin usually doesn't eat snacks. If there are any that don't suit your taste, you can tell me, and I won't have them delivered next time.""Okay." Abigail usually doesn't eat snacks, but seeing her older brother being so thoughtful, her heart still feels warm.Jaylin sorted the snacks into different categories and labeled them with tags such as nuts, spicy strips, cookies, candies, pastries, potato chips, and so on. She then stuck the labels on them to make it easier for Abigail to find them next time.Brent on the side watched with drooling mouth, almost envious to the point of tears. He also wished he had such a domineering and gentle older brother...After Jaylin finished his work, Riley asked him
Noon.The employees who were eating in the cafeteria were so shocked when they saw Riley and Abigail appear that they couldn't even hold their forks steady.Hasn't Mr. Baldwin left yet?Did you still stay at the company and have lunch with Ms. Abigail?Did Mr. Baldwin really like Ms. Abigail, as rumored?But between them, there was at least a six or seven-year age difference!Is this considered an older bull eating tender grass?"He spoke to Ms. Abigail so gently."Riley bent down to listen to Abigail speaking, then nodded and said something to the cafeteria staff. They helped Abigail with her meal, first bringing it to the table and making her sit in her seat to wait."Mr. Baldwin was such a gentleman! He helped Ms. Abigail serve her meal first before serving his own, without any hesitation or inconvenience.""Abby!!"At this moment, Makenna prepared the meal and saw Abigail sitting alone at the dining tab
