"But Josh, you know nothing about medicine, after all. Staying here won't help Natasha at all."Besides, even though we've changed into surgical gowns, we're not doctors, so we shouldn't be here. It goes against medical protocol," Natalie said, convincing in her argument.Joshua nodded in agreement. "Let's get out of here, then."The operation room door opened, and they exited.Natalie leaned in close to Joshua, inadvertently exposing her sweaty neck. She had just hurried over, so her neck was glistening with perspiration.The droplets of sweat clustered on her neck, and she was certain Joshua couldn't miss them.If Joshua could notice the sweat on Natasha's forehead, there was no reason he couldn't notice the sweat on her neck.As expected, Joshua noticed Natalie's neck, which was covered in glistening beads of sweat. It contrasted against her snow-white skin and reflected bright light under the sunlight.He lowered his head and glanced at the white handkerchief in his hand.
Natasha turned around and spotted her medical kit resting on the nearby table, its lid left open since its last use.Inside were various medications, including traditional medicine and modern medicine. Each was unique, stored in different boxes, offering a wide range of options.However, despite their varied appearance, all these medications were all personally formulated by Natasha herself and were impossible to find on the market.She briefly scanned the assortment of medication in her medical kit before selecting one vial.Meanwhile, Natalie, who had just finished her phone call at the corner, noticed Joshua still standing by the observation window, watching Natasha's movements.She walked over to him and stood beside him, gazing through the window like he was.When she saw Natasha's hand reaching for the medications in her medical kit, an idea struck her."Josh, have the medications in that kit been sterilized?" Natalie asked."Of course, they've been sterilized," Philip's
After filling the syringe, Natasha injected the medication into Philip's body without a moment of hesitation.Once everything was done, she took a deep breath and set the syringe aside.Now, all she needed to do was quietly await the outcome.Standing in place, she gazed at Philip's pale face, inevitably recalling her days in the Grayson family.Though Philip had shown neither excessive concern nor treated her as a stranger, she had found his attitude rather comfortable and tactful.If it weren't for the incident at the last banquet, Natasha would have been fond of Philip's character.The injected medication took effect almost immediately.Natasha narrowed her eyes as she observed the adjacent ECG, noticing the rhythm beginning to stabilize.Shortly later, the ECG returned to a completely normal trend; Natasha couldn't help but smile softly.She did it. Not only had she saved Philip, but she had also accomplished the fluid resuscitation, a process she had never done before!N
Natasha had just completed an extremely challenging surgery—not to mention the mistake she had made because of Natalie's sudden appearance.Fortunately, she had assisted her grandmother in many surgeries at the Sullivan family, so she was experienced and knowledgeable enough to overcome this crisis.Although the surgery had ended successfully, it did not offset Natalie's actions.Therefore, Natalie was the last person Natasha wanted to see at the moment.However, Natalie continued to stick closely to Natasha's heels as if she had no shame at all.Whenever Natasha took a step, Natalie would follow suit.Finally irritated by Natalie's mimicking behavior, Natasha frowned as she turned around. "Do you need something?"Natalie waved her hand, anxiously apologizing with an aggrieved look. "Nothing. It's just that… not only do you know how to make medicine, but you also can save lives—You're amazing, Natasha!"Then, she smiled brightly, with a look of admiration on her face.Natasha
Natalie felt somewhat guilty but wouldn't allow herself to be verbally defeated by Natasha.She retorted, "I just saw Josh go in, so I thought I'd give him and Grandpa Philip some space for a chat.""Space?" Natasha found it amusing.Natalie's reason seemed quite far-fetched to Natasha. Philip's sedative was still in effect, so he hadn't regained consciousness at all, let alone needing any space for a chat.After Natalie said that, she was about to turn around and check on Philip. However, before she could do so, she collided with Joshua, who was striding toward her."Josh…" Seeing Joshua's displeased expression, Natalie appeared flustered. She blinked rapidly in nervousness and stumbled over her words as she tried to speak.Natalie's display of nervousness raised a slight suspicion in Natasha's mind. While it was natural for someone to blink rapidly when flustered, the frequency observed in Natalie seemed exaggerated. Natasha couldn't shake off the suspicion that Natalie might
"What's wrong with Grandpa Philip?" Natalie covered her mouth, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at the elderly man on the bed.Joshua heard Natalie's fearful voice and quickly turned back. Ignoring Natasha, he strode toward Natalie."What happened?" he asked. His brow furrowed as he approached.Seeing Joshua approach, Natalie lifted her hand and pointed toward Philip's bed.Joshua looked up and saw Philip lying on the hospital bed. While his complexion seemed normal, his body was shaking violently, sending shivers down one's spine."What's going on?" Joshua's once cheerful face turned completely grim. He felt that Philip's condition was extremely abnormal."I don't know what's going on, either. The moment I got here, Grandpa Philip was like this, and it scared me." Natalie appeared visibly shaken.As she looked at Philip lying there, she noticed his fingers trembling nonstop. Even though the anesthesia's effects had not yet worn off, and Philip had not regained c
Drake trembled as he glanced at Natalie standing nearby. There was a look of seeking confirmation in his eyes.Standing behind Joshua, Natalie blinked and gave him an approving glance.Upon receiving the signal, Drake finally began, "When Mr. Grayson Senior came out, I rushed to check on him. His condition…""Spit it out!" Joshua struggled to contain his emotions."His condition seems fine!" Drake finally continued. "There also doesn't seem to be any abnormalities on the surface. All his vital signs have returned to normal.""On the surface?" Joshua keenly seized upon the crux of the matter."Yes… On the surface…" Drake continued to flinch. "Mr. Grayson Senior's stable condition is likely only superficial. Otherwise, such a situation wouldn't occur right after the surgery."He added, "Furthermore, I just checked. Mr. Grayson Senior's current condition is even worse than it was before the surgery…"Joshua's eyes turned icy cold the moment he heard that. He angrily kicked the tra
Natasha was thus pulled along by the two bodyguards through the long corridor, all the way to the end where the operating room was located.As she didn't understand what was happening, she did not attempt to struggle along the way. She pondered over Flynn's words and tried to decipher their meaning.As she approached, she found herself surrounded by a crowd of medical professionals amidst the life support machines' echoing sounds.Taking a couple more steps, she spotted Philip trembling vigorously.Natasha couldn't quite grasp the situation. As far as she knew, Philip had clearly been out of danger.Natasha was confident in her medical skills. She was certain that Philip's condition in the operating room was stable, with all his vital signs returning to normal. Such a scenario was impossible!Seeing the scene before her, Natasha was startled and finally began to struggle.She struggled hard to break free from the two bodyguards' grip. "Let me go. I need to check on Mr. Grayson S
