Landon clutched his chest, his heart finally able to find peace.
“Thank goodness! Oh, thank the heavens!” Javier’s hands were held tight together as he muttered gratefully.
“What heavens? Allison was the one who performed the surgery. You should be thanking her!” Newton glared at his son.
Though Javier was prejudiced against Alyssa, he still couldn’t not say anything for fear of ruining his public image.
So he went over to her and said quietly, “Thank you so much, Ms. Alyssa. Thank you for saving my son’s life.”
“No need, Mr. Javier.” Alyssa sighed deeply.
Jeremy only ended up like this because he saved me. Saving him was naturally my rightful duty.”
This is all thanks to you, Allison! All you!” Newton hugged her tight, tears nearly falling down his cheeks.
Alyssa consoled him for a while before slowly turning her cold gaze to Zoe, who was standing stock still a distance away.
Zoe gasped and took a step back as she watched Alyssa approach with a cold determination.
Despite wearing heels, Zoe was still shorter than Alyssa. However, the height wasn’t the problem. Alyssa had outshined Zoe in terms of her inner qualities and her intimidating air. Zoe was reduced to nothing in front of Alyssa.
“W-What are you doing?” Zoe gasped. She turned white.
“Nothing much. I just want to clear your doubts,” Alyssa replied with a calm smile and took off her surgeon cap. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders in a sassy way.
She announced, “Your dear Jeremy is out of critical condition. You don’t have to pray for him anymore.
Then, she whispered into Zoe’s ear, “You should just ask for my help instead of praying Since he got hurt because of me, I’ll treat him till he’s recovered. So, please don’t waste your time worrying for him.”
Zoe was trembling in rage at Alyssa’s provocation. It seemed that Alyssa had overheard what she said in the corridor.
Just as she was thinking hard on a clapback, Landon joined them, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He blurted out, “Lyse, you know how to perform surgery?”
“Of course,” she replied crossly and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She had just made it through a long surgery and wasn’t in the mood to talk.
“No, I mean, you’re cool! You’re the best!” Landon scrambled for compliments.
She gave him, a side-eye and shook her head, saying, “If you studied harder in school, you could use adjectives with more than two syllables.”
Alyssa couldn’t help but wonder how someone as lovely as Lauren ended up with a shallow man like
Landon, whose only redeeming quality was his wealth.
Zoe quivered in resentment, wishing that Landon would shut up.
Suddenly, they heard urgent footsteps approaching from the corridoi.
He continued, “Abel, meet my daughter, Alyssa, the one I’ve spoken so highly of many times.” Winston proudly pulled Alyssa to his side and added, “It may be hard to believe, but she’s an exceptional doctor. She just completed a ten-hour-long surgery. She freaking cracked open a brain!”
Jonah and Landon shuddered upon hearing Winston’s crude description. Abel and the deputy director exchanged looks and turned to Winston in shock.
Abel stammered, “M-Mr. Taylor, is she really your daughter?”
Winston furrowed his brow at the strange question. “What’s that supposed to mean? She’s definitely not.
yours!”
Abel clarified, “No, no. What I meant was, were you unaware of her reputation?”
Winston looked puzzled. “What reputation?”
Taking a deep breath, Abel proceeded to introduce Alyssa to everyone with great respect and admiration.
“Your daughter is none other than the renowned genius doctor-Dr. Burton!”
The revelation left everyone in a state of shock.
Alyssa Taylor, in addition to her remarkable skills as a manager at KS World Hotel and a genius designer, was now unveiled as a brilliant doctor. She was nothing short of a superhuman.
Newton and Javier looked shell-shocked. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard.
People of their social standing were well aware of Dr. Burton’s formidable reputation, as she was highly regarded for her surgical expertise. Receiving treatment from Dr. Burton was a great honor for anyone.
Despite her widespread acclaim, Dr. Burton was a mysterious figure who refused to show her face or engage in interviews. Only a select few, like Jonah and Abel, had been privy to her truc identity.
The staggering revelation left Javier gaping in astonishment. Never had he imaginer that the young woman who had lived under his roof for three years possessed such a multitude of talents.
Feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness overwhelmed him. He knew he might never find another daughter-in-law as exceptional as Alyssa.
“Dr. Liverton, good grief…” Alyssa sighed with a wry chuckle. “Why did you have to let my father in? I explicitly told you to keep it a secret.”
“Ms. Taylor, in the past three years, you’ve performed several successful surgeries at our hospital and helped us through challenging times. How can I keep this good news from Mr. Taylor?
“I understand you want to keep a low profile, but you should at least let your dad hear about it!” Abel expressed his admiration for Alyssa.
Winston, a mixture of happiness and anger, couldn’t bring himself to scold Alyssa and instead playfully pinched her cheek. “How could you keep this from me? I should give you a good scolding!”
“Winston, you can’t say that in front of everyone,” Alyssa admonished him in a hushed voice, clearly embarrassed.
“Allison…” Newton approached her and held her shoulders as he teared up. He scanned the outstanding young woman frein head to toe longingly. “Allison, i teel sorry. The Walsh family has wronged you.”
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? Stop it.”
“No. Our family was an obstacle in your life,” Newton added. He grew even more remorseful and reluctant
He lamented, “Oh, what to do? I don’t ever want any woman near Jeremy except for you. I will never approve of anyone else as my granddaughter-in-law!
“Call me greedy and shameless, but I do not want anyone except for Allison!”
Winston wore a displeased expression, but before he could speak, Jonah held him back.
Alyssa was flustered by Newton’s antics. She blushed and said, “Grandpa, you’re acting out like a child.”
While everyone ignored.
admired and praised Alyssa, Zoe stood on the outskirts of the crowd, ashen-faced and
Even Landon did not show her any concern. She was forgotten by everyone.
Newton’s words had struck a nerve with Zoe, fueling her simmering hatred, and she wished ill upon
Alyssa.
It was not unusual for patients who underwent major surgeries to be in a coma for ten days. However, Jeremy had a good physique thanks to his military background. He woke up on day four.
“Mr. Walsh! Mr. Walsh! Mr. Walsh!”
Jeremy felt increasingly irritated as someone persistently called out to him. He struggled to open his eyes.
As his vision gradually cleared, he saw Xavier standing before him, appearing disheveled and visibly thinner.
Xavier was agitatedly spamming the emergency button by the bedside. ‘Mr. Walsh is awake! He’s awake!
“Anyone would wake up if you keep bothering them like this,’ grumbled Jeremy, his ears ringing and his mind muddled. “Where am I?”
“The hospital, of course! Don’t you know you’ve undergone a life-and-death situation?” Xavier informed him. Tears welled up as he recalled the misfortune that befell Jeremy.
“Oh… Lyse!” The first thing Jeremy thought about after waking up was Alyssa’s safety. The last scene in his memory was of the attacker aiming the metal stick at Alyssa. He lost the memory of what happened.

He wondered if he managed to protect her. What if he failed to protect her from the attack? The thought was unbearable.
Xavier are sed him down and coaxed him, “Madam is fine! She’s not hurt at all because you saved her.
