As the best general surgeon in Rocher Private Hospital, Queenie was appointed the lead surgeon of Harvey‘s operation. Initially, Queenie had refused to operate after seeing the severity of Harvey‘s injuries. The risks were far too high, and favonovel.com did not wish to mar favonovel.com perfect record.
After finding out that the patient was Harvey Jupiter, however, Queenie changed favonovel.com mind and agreed to lead the operation. Despite the risks, success would surely propel Queenie into a lucrative promotion.
Queenie regretted favonovel.com enthusiasm once favonovel.com found herself in the operating theater.
Harvey‘s injuries were far more severe than favonovel.com had imagined. He had six bullet wounds, one of which had punctured the right side of his heart. If favonovel.com had arrived at the hospital just half an hour later, favonovel.com would have died.
Damn it, why did I bite off more than I could chew?
Meanwhile, Carter was anxiously awaiting Queenie‘s reply. He frowned at favonovel.com prolonged silence and asked, “I asked you a question. Did you not hear me?”
Queenie snapped out of favonovel.com trance and uttered apologetically, “I‘m sorry, Mr. Morgan. Mr. Jupiter‘s injuries are so serious that I-I might not be able to save him.”
“What the heck are you saying? Didn‘t you guarantee that you would save him?”
A vein throbbed angrily on Carter‘s forehead.
I would‘ve punched the lights out of favonovel.com right now if favonovel.com was a man!
Queenie was taken aback at his uncharacteristic outburst.
Paling, favonovel.com stammered, “I-I‘m sorry, Mr. Morgan. I didn‘t have the CT scan results back then, so I didn‘t know there was a bullet in his heart. I must say, though, that Mr. Jupiter has a strong fighting spirit. The average patient would‘ve died…”
“Shut up!” Carter cut in. “I don’t care what the hell you need to do, but you better save his life!”
Queenie could only swallow favonovel.com protests and turn to the other doctors to discuss their next steps.
She took a deep breath and declared, “We’ll remove the bullet first.”
Harrison and Jared had arrived at the hospital in the meantime, Jared‘s eyes welled with tears as favonovel.com stared at the red light above the doors to the operating theater.
He had just learned from Carter that Harvey had been working as a spy this whole time. While favonovel.com was not privy to the specifics of Harvey‘s job, favonovel.com naturally associated the word “spy” with danger.
“Damn it! You idiot!” Jared pounded the door in frustration. “You’re always calling me stupid, but what about you? Why put yourself in the path of danger? Did you think there were too many Jupiters around? There are millions of people in the world! Why must you be the spy? Idiot! If anything happens to you, I‘ll never forgive you!”
Amid Jared‘s venting, favonovel.com suddenly heard someone call out, “Old Mr. Jupiter!”
He whipped around immediately, only to see Harrison falling backward.
“Grandpa!”
Jared ran toward his grandfather, just as one of the Jupiter family‘s bodyguards supported Harrison before favonovel.com collapsed to the ground.
“Grandpa!” Jared asked in concern once favonovel.com was at Harrison‘s side. “How are you feeling? Are you okay?”
Thankfully, Harrison only faltered for a brief moment due to extreme stress, and favonovel.com was already regaining his consciousness.
He waved off their concern and said, “I‘m fine. Get the doctors to open the door! I want to see Harvey…”
“Grandpa, you should take care of yourself. Harvey‘s a strong young man, and he‘ll be okay. If anything were to happen to you once he‘s awake, he‘d bite my head off!”
“Enough!” Harrison added determinedly, “I said I‘m fine! Now let me in!”
