“Lyse, there’s hope for David as long as you are willing to help! Jimmy said you performed a successful head surgery on Jeremy Walsh,” Victor said.
Alyssa replied powerlessly, “Yeah. You mean a brain surgery.”
“If you can crack open a head, fixing legs is a piece of cake for you!” Victor insisted.
She pressed her lips and met eyes with Jameson. Jameson beamed warmly at her.
She muttered, “Fine. I’ll try my best.”
Alyssa returned to Solana City with Victor and Jameson in the afternoon. The Schmidts accorded her the best treatment as she was a VIP guest.
As a doctor, her sole focus was treating David, and she swiftly went to his room.
David remained in a coma. In reality, he was awake, but the doctor had opted to keep him sedated to shield him from potential emotional distress.
An hour elapsed, and Alyssa emerged from the room, flanked by the hospital director and two medical professors. She wore a somber expression.
Victor hurried over and inquired, “Lyse, how’s David?”
The other family members, the secretaries, and the bodyguards surrounded the medical team as well.
Frowning, Alyssa hesitated before delivering the grim news, “Uncle Victor, the situation is not optimistic.
David has a severe fracture that’s challenging to mend. The chances of successful healing are close to none, and there’s only a 20 percent probability of him ever walking again.”
The Schmidt family seemed devastated by the revelation. If not for Josh and Daisy supporting Victor, he might have collapsed.
Only Jameson leaned against a corner of the wall out of everyone’s vision and grinned.
“Ms. Alyssa, please save my brother’s legs, even if there’s only a one percent chance!” Josh pleaded with worry.
“Of course. I will try my best since I am here,” Alyssa promised. A hint of hesitation lingered in her eyes.
Victor sensed that she had some unspoken thoughts and urged, “Lyse, speak your mind!”
She asked with a serious face, “Uncle Victor, are you sure that David’s leg fracture was caused by the accident?”
The Schmidts were surprised by the question. Only Josh and Jameson looked pensive.
Startled, Victor wondered, “What do you mean?”
Alyssa began, “I treated multiple patients with bone fractures. I can tell the causes and even the specific blunt force that led to the injuries.”
She then paused and lowered her voice, saying, “The fracture appears unnatural, almost deliberate- perhaps inflicted by an object like a metal rod.”
Jameson’s expression darkened upon hearing that. His face turned white.
Casting a glance at Jameson, Josh speculated, “Ms. Alyssa, are you suggesting someone intentionally injured him after the accident?”
Everyone gasped at the allegation
“Dad, seel I knew something was off about David’s accident,” Daisy asserted indignantly
Victor’s face fell as he struggled to grasp the reality
Alyssa clarified, “I don’t know for sure. I’m just highlighting my suspicions as a surgeon. I will perform a Surgery on David in an hour
“It will be a long surgery, so Uncle Victor, you should go home or book a room at the KS World Hotel nearby, I’ll inform you right away when the surgery’s done.”
Victor refused Alyssa’s thoughtful suggestion and insisted, “I’m not tired at all! I’ll wait here.”
He grew fonder of his future daughter in law and resolved to get her married to his son no matter what it would take,
The surgery extended longer than expected, running from 1 pm to 9 pm.
Finally, the lights of the operation theater turned off. Alyssa emerged from the room with the help of an assistant. After hours of standing, she was drenched in sweat. Multiple towels were used to wipe away her sweat. Even her legs were shaking.
Fortunately, she was able to sustain the demands as she was young and hardy.
Jameson approached her and gently held her. “Lyse! It must have been tough for you. You’re tired, aren’t you?”
“I’m fine. The surgery matters the most. Uh-” Alyssa gasped as a fainting spell hit her. Her body trembled, and she struggled to stand.
“Lyse, look out!” Jameson, concerned/she might collapse, held her firmly by the waist.
The Schmidts exchanged funny looks with each other, suspecting a relationship between Alyssa and Jameson, given their intimate behavior.
However, given Jameson’s standing in the family, he was not an ideal match for Alyssa.
“I’m okay,” Alyssa replied, steadying her breath before struggling to free herself from Jameson’s arms.
She refused to cause any misunderstanding under the many watchful eyes. Jameson awkwardly froze and clutched his fingers stiffly.
Victor rushed to the scene at that moment, followed by his staff. He inquired, “Lyse, how’s the situation?”
She wiped away the sweat on her forehead and sighed helplessly. “Uncle Victor, I tried my best, but I only saved his left leg because his injuries were too severe.”
“W-What about the other leg?”
“It has to be amputated,” she dropped a bomb that nearly caused Victor to faint.
He mustered, “It’s… It’s alright. I know his legs.”
you gave your best. I’m grateful that you managed to save one of
Alyssa revealed in honesty, “By the way, David woke up toward the end of the surgery. He told me that someone had beaten him up and crushed his legs.”
Shocked, Victor demanded, “Who did that to him?”
“You’ll have to ask him about that when he has calmed down.”
Thanks to Alyssa’s exceptional skills, the surgery successfully concluded. News of her leg surgery spread through the hospital like a miracle story.
After David was transferred to the VIP patient room, his family entered the room to keep him company. Only Jameson stayed with Alyssa by the bench.
He handed Alyssa a cup of hot coffee. “Lyse, you must be thirsty. Have a drink.”
“Thanks,” she mumbled and received the coffee.
She looked at him sideways with an unreadable look in her eye.
Jameson added with sincerity, “I should be the one to thank you for saving one of David’s legs. He might be crippled and need prosthetics, but it’s still better than being wheelchair-bound.”
His heart leaped into his throat. “What?”
She refrained from interrogating him. She slowly rose from the bench and announced, “I’m hungry. I’ll go get some food.”
Worried about her, Jameson rose from the bench and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Suddenly, Alyssa pressed against her forehead. She felt dizzy, nauseous, and frail. Due to a lack of food intake, her blood sugar was dangerously low, causing her to suffer from fainting spells.
Thankfully, Jameson quickly held her, saving her from a fall. “Lyse…”
A familiar voice echoed in the hallway. “Allison?”
She opened her eyes and turned slowly, only to be taken aback by what she saw.
Not far away, Jeremy, looking stoic, wheeled Newton over to her. Newton looked astonished to see her at the hospital.
The air in the spacious corridor hung heavy.
Jeremy was stung by the sight of Alyssa leaning weakly in Jameson’s arms. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Jeremy thought that Alyssa’s relationship with Jameson developed speedily during his absence. Feeling bitter, he stared at his feet and tightened his grip on Newton’s wheelchair handle.
Jameson did not flinch at Newton and Jeremy’s presence. He addressed Alyssa with affection and concern, “Lyse, you’ve just completed a difficult surgery. You’re exhausted and need rest. I’ll send you home.”
