Madison said calmly, “I can do the operation.”
Her words brought ecstasy to Joel’s eyes. “Really? How confident are you?”
“I think there’s a success rate of 80%.”
That was a very high success rate.
But Krystal’s disruptive voice rang out. “80%? Even Mr. Moran said he couldn’t do it. Who do you think you are? Are you just spewing nonsense?”
Madison remained calm. “Alright. I can’t do it.’
Since he had interacted with Madison in the past, Joel knew her personality well. He quickly tried to de- escalate the situation.
“Ladies, please. Krystal, you should make yourself scarce for now. You don’t know Vanessa that well. The surgery she performed last year was harder than this one.
“That time, she removed a bullet from the heart. She managed to save that patient.”
“That has to be a lie. How could the person still be alive after being shot in the heart?”
Madison sneered. “You won’t get it if you don’t even know anything about medicine. Do I have to explain every detail to you? Even if I did, you still won’t understand.
“Mr. Tucker, since I’m not welcome here, I won’t be performing this surgery anymore. You should just get someone else to do it.”
“Please don’t. You’re already here. You should go take a look. What if you can save him?”
“Sure.”
Madison followed Joel into the intensive care unit. She had already seen the reports and the X-ray images of the man.
She walked into the ward that was filled with the scent of disinfectant. Then, she saw the man lying in bed.
This man could frequently be seen on the news, and yet he was lying there on the verge of death.
Krystal resembled him a little. No wonder Krystal was so arrogant. With a background like hers, anyone would be a little unhinged.
“When was he shot?”
“5:30 am.”
Madison paused momentarily. Jack was injured during that period, too. A scary thought formed in her mind. Was Jack the one who tried to assassinate Mason?
As soon as she thought of that, Madison knew she should have no part in this. Jack risked his life to kill this man, and yet she promised Hunter to save him.
“What’s wrong? Is there some unforeseen difficulty?”
Madison remained calm. “Alright, I’ve gotten a grasp on the situation. Let’s talk outside.” She desperately wanted to know if Mason was the one Jack wanted to kill.
As soon as she walked out, Hunter approached her. “How is it?”
Madison was thinking about how she could get out of this situation. Then, a series of footsteps could be heard. It was Yale.
There was a bespectacled old man with white hair in a suit next to him.
Madison knew the old man. He was the renowned cardiovascular specialist Lionel Gatsby. It was as Hunter expected. Yale had already found Lionel.
Yale had wanted to wait for a little more to avoid suspicion. He wanted to pretend that it was hard to find Lionel.
He didn’t expect Hunter to bring another medical genius. Yale couldn’t possibly sit idly by anymore. He changed his plans in a panic and hurried over with Lionel in tow.
“Mrs. Heath, I’ve found Dr. Gatsby. He can operate on Mr. Heath.”
Tatiana looked at Hunter with a troubled expression. “But Hunter also brought a renowned doctor. She said she can do the operation, too.”
Yale sized Madison up.
Madison was completely unfazed. She didn’t mind him looking at her. She had a disguise anyway. He couldn’t possibly glean anything from her face.
“Is this the lady?” Yale was very composed compared to Krystal, even though he knew she was the one who saved Hunter’s life.
His gaze was icy, but he had to maintain a gentlemanly facade.
Yale took care of internal affairs while Hunter carried out international missions. Hunter hid his identity and helped Mason take down shady organizations. Yale was an elegant man.
One stood in the light, while the other hid in the shadows. They had never crossed paths until they started to vie for more power.
Yale might be gentlemanly on the surface, but his methods were vicious.
That snowy night all those years ago, his target was Hunter, but Madison would’ve been killed if Hunter didn’t protect her.
Yale was the one behind it all. Madison never forgot.
This time, Yale was in the open while Madison was in the dark.
Krystal spoke up. “Yale, you have to stop her. Mr. Tucker and the others have been brainwashed by her. My father’s life is already hanging by a thread. She’s too young to have the experience to manage such an operation.
“If she tries her hand on my father, she could make a mistake that could cost my father’s life!”
“Don’t worry, Krystal.”
Yale comforted Krystal and then turned to Tatiana. “Mrs. Heath, Krystal has a point. I’m not doubting the lady’s capabilities, but she is indeed too young. How could she compare with Dr. Gatsby, who is an experienced veteran.”
Tatiana didn’t know what to think. So, she looked at Hunter.
“Hunter, you’ve always been the stoic one. What do you think r*
Hunter didn’t give a long speech. He only said, “I trust her.”
Madison honestly didn’t want him to trust her at that moment.
If Jack really wanted Mason dead, she didn’t want to save him.
But Madison thought it was weird. The bullet would have killed Mason if it was an inch higher.
Did Jack make a mistake?
But Yale’s eagerness to help changed Madison’s mind. It was like Jack meant to do this. His goal probably wasn’t to kill Mason but to create an opportunity for Yale.
Why else would the wound be near the heart?
Coincidentally, Yale had already found Lionel ahead of time.
The truth remained shrouded in mystery. An outsider like Madison couldn’t possibly know what was going on.
She wanted no part of this power struggle.
Joel added, “Don’t underestimate her because she’s young. She’s actually very skilled.
Hunter would already be dead if not for her. The surgery she performed last year was practically perfect.
“Lionel might be experienced, but you should still give the younger generation a chance to shine.”
Lionel probably had some sort of agreement with Yale. He said, “Joel, it’s not that I want to disrespect you, but Mr.
Heath is not a regular Joe. This is a critical operation. Even if you trust this young lady, I don’t.”
“That’s right, Mr. Tucker. Dr. Gatsby is here. Everything will be fine. Let’s not waste any more time,” Yale urged.
“No!”
A familiar voice rang out. Madison, who had maintained an indifferent expression, reflexively straightened her back when she heard that voice.
The person who was walking toward them used to be her mentor. A man who had treated her well ever since she started school. When she was only a freshman in university, Rufus took her to sit in and observe operations.
He was also the one who said, “Madison, you’re born to hold a scalpel. You have to take good care of your hands.”
Even then, Madison could remember the disappointment in his eyes when she dropped out and the way he walked away from her.
She hadn’t seen him in years. He was one of the people she was afraid of seeing again.
Rufus had retired. She heard that he had set up his own lab and had been focusing on medical research.
His hair was almost completely white. His face looked more frail, too.
Madison clutched her sleeves tightly. She was afraid she might blurt out and call him her teacher.
“What do you mean by that, Mr. Moran?”
“I said Lionel can’t do this operation.”
Rufus quickly walked up to Madison.
“You’re Vanessa, right? I’ve heard Joel talk about you.” Madison 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.” “IT didn’t expect the renowned Vanessa to be so young.
I’ll assist you with this operation.
Any objections?” Before Madison 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?” Yale said, ‘No one can guarantee the success of an operation, much less such a young doctor like her.” Hunter wanted to speak up, but Madison 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.
