Chapter 146
Before her right now was not an animal but a living, breathing person, a fool who had not hesitated to
pave the way for her to approach the operating table again with his own life!
Hence, she would never allow anything to go wrong.
“I'm going to operate now. Prepare the hemostatic forceps and cotton, and pay attention to all the
readings. Report to me immediately if there's any abnormality.”
“Understood.”
Bailey did not hesitate anymore. She pressed one hand on the flesh of his back while cutting into the
middle of his back with the scalpel.
Blood began to seep out again, but her head was no longer dizzy this time. Other than a slight tremor
on the hand holding the scalpel at the beginning, it did not happen again after that.
She had regained the feeling of holding a scalpel again.
It was a familiar yet unfamiliar experience, with joy and pain coexisting.
Eugene had died under her knife three years ago, and to compensate the child, she closed herself off
in a lonely world and never touched a scalpel again.
After three years, she overcame her psychological barriers and finally emerged from the pain and
despair of the past.
Zayron waited outside the operation room for twenty minutes and breathed a deep sigh of relief when
he heard no commotion coming from inside.
“It seems that Mommy has overcome her psychological barriers. Don't worry, everyone. Her medical
skills are superb, and she won't let anything happen to Mr. Luther.”
Dwayne and Ken heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said, and they became less anxious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That's good. Since she can approach the operating table, she will certainly be able to operate on Old
Mr. Chivers. It seems that the shadow looming over the heads of the Luther and Chivers families will
soon dissipate.”
Hearing that, Zayron pursed his lips and snorted. “You guys are relieved, but I'm feeling miserable. My
mommy is so smart that she must've already guessed that this is a plan we made. I bet she'll skin me
alive later.”
Dwayne arched his eyebrows and teased with a smirk, “This is simply an act of mutual consent. How
could you get the best benefits from Mr. Luther without any sacrifice? Your mother was truly frightened
because of you today, so I'm sure you won't have it easy later. You're on your own now.”
Zayron looked up at the sky, speechless. I let Bailey worry in vain just for that little bit of money. I'm
such a jerk. No, it wasn't for the money, but mainly because I didn't wish to see Mommy feel guilty and
blame herself. Old Mr. Chivers saved her granny and mommy, and she truly longs to repay this
kindness. Otherwise, she wouldn't have locked herself in Vero's laboratory and suffered for six days.
Mr. Luther is right. In my mommy's situation, it is necessary for her to receive harsh stimulation. Initially,
I wanted to be the one getting injured and let Bailey operate on me, but Mr. Luther slapped me on the
wrist and firmly disagreed. I must say that he's quite responsible, and more importantly, he loves
Mommy with all his heart. Hmph! I have to admit that he has taste. As to whether he'll be able to win
over Mommy, it all depends on his capabilities.
Three hours later, the door to the operating room opened, and Bailey walked out looking exhausted.
Dwayne quickly approached her and asked anxiously, “How is it? Was the operation successful?”
Until now, he did not dare to report this matter to the Luther family. The past three hours felt like an
eternity to him, for he feared that Artemis would die on the operating table if an emergency occurred
during the surgery.
Bailey massaged her forehead to dispel some fatigue before she rasped, “The operation was
successful. The damaged heart has been repaired. He should wake up as soon as the anesthesia
wears off. Do you have a guest room? Prepare one for me. I need a good rest.”
Dwayne noticed that she looked extremely pale, as though she was about to collapse. It was obvious to
him that she had overexerted herself, so he hurriedly called the butler over. “Mr. Wilson, take Ms.
Bailey to get some rest and instruct the kitchen to prepare some food for her. Don't keep her waiting.”
“Understood.”
Bailey had just taken a few steps when she seemed to have thought of something and swiftly turned to
look at Zayron. “You, come with me.”
Zayron lowered his head and put on a miserable and indignant expression as he made a last-ditch
effort to save himself. “Um... Men and women should keep a distance from one another. It doesn't
seem appropriate for me to remain in the room when you're sleeping, don't you think?”
“Cut the cr*p. Otherwise, I'll skin you alive right now.”
Um...
Dwayne smiled as he pushed Zayron forward. “Go on. Your mommy doesn't seem to be in a good
state, and you can take care of her by staying by her side.”
The latter rolled his eyes. That's easy for you to say.
After watching the mother-son duo leave, Dwayne rushed into the operating room.
When he saw a few assistants in the outer room, he hurriedly went forward and asked, “Lacey, was
that woman the main surgeon for this operation?”
Lacey froze for a moment before saying with a smile, “Yes. Although several of us can also perform
surgeries, we can't do something like this that requires slicing the heart with a sharp blade and
repairing the wound on the heart before pulling out the knife. Even Mr. Xuereb may not be able to do it.
Who exactly is that woman, Mr. Derning? How does she have such exquisite medical skills?”
“Exactly. That woman is truly amazing! We don't even dare to think about performing such a risky and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhigh-precision operation. I can't believe she completed it alone without any unexpected complications
throughout the entire process.”
“With such a serious injury, Mr. Luther was already one foot in the grave. Never did I expect that she
would bring him back to life. Not only was the operation a success, but there weren't any complications.
Besides the person known as the pioneer of surgery, Cataleya, I can't think of anyone else with such
superb medical skills.”
“Hey, you mentioning Cataleya reminded me of something. I heard from my grandpa that Ms. Moore
has no mentees, but she passed on her skillsets to a mysterious woman, and this woman is the
'Anonymous' who became well-known internationally a few years ago.”
“I've heard of the name Anonymous. It is said that Ms. Moore passed on all her surgical skills to this
person. Although the two didn't have a mentor-mentee relationship, they could still be considered close
friends. Ms. Moore was said to have passed on everything she knew, but it's truly a pity that
Anonymous suddenly retired and disappeared three years ago.”
From their conversation, Dwayne received a definite answer, confirming that Bailey had done the
operation herself. At last, he was able to relax.
Mr. Luther's painstaking arrangements weren't in vain. He used his life to force Bailey to overcome her
trauma and hold the scalpel again.
Dwayne knew that Artemis had not risked his life because he wanted her to treat Glen. He merely
wanted to help her fulfill her wish so that she would not have any regrets in the future.
If it wasn't for an act of kindness from sixty years ago, I think that Artemis wouldn't have harmed
himself to force her to pick up the scalpel again. Even if he knew that his granddad would die, he
probably wouldn't force her either. Is this what people mean by love? My feelings for Victoria truly can't
be compared to Artemis' love for Bailey.
After Bailey brought her son back to the guest room, she threw him on the couch and smacked his butt
a few times.
