Denise sneered, and Paige noticed it.

Paige raised her eyebrows and said casually, “It’s time to fulfill your promise, Ms. Moore.”

Denise was so jealous that she forgot about the bet between them!

Martin is here, and Denise would never let herself be embarrassed no matter what!

Denise spread her hands and said cheekily, “What promise? What did I say?” “Ms. Moore, how can you…?”

The nurse beside her couldn’t help but say, “You said it yourself. If this young lady can save Mr. Stowe, you will kneel to her. You will even quit as the deputy director…”

“Really? Did I say that? Where is the evidence?”

Denise refused to admit it.. Denise was so cheeky.

“You did say it. Everyone here heard it. If you don’t want to kneel, you should at least apologize to her.”
After all, Denise had been mean to Paige.

“Why should I apologize?” Denise said shamelessly with an annoyed expression. She is simply shameless. No one knew what to do with Denise.

But Paige suddenly kicked Denise, and the latter fell to her knees with a plop.

No one saw how Paige had done it, but they could hear the sound of Denise’s knees hitting the ground. It sounded painful.

“You, you little…” Denise was so hurt that her lips were trembling, and she could not stand up.

“As a doctor, it is your duty to save your patients.”

Paige’s eyes were cold, and her voice was even colder.

“The knife in your hand is used to save people, not to kill them!”

“You! You… Don’t try to slander me in front of Mr. Stowe. I didn’t do anything!”

Denise was so angry that she was trembling.

“We all know what you did and want to do!”

Just then, the hospital director came and said, “Mr. Stowe, is your grandfather alright? I’m sorry. I just came back from an academic conference… Eh, what is going on? Denise, why are you kneeling on the ground?”

When Denise saw the hospital director, tears welled up in her eyes, and she could not stand up in pain. The hospital director appreciated Denise and praised her in front of many doctors, making everyone follow a good example of her.

Just as she was about to complain, she heard the hospital director’s surprised voice: “Paige, why are you here too? Why are you wearing a sterile suit? You… You can’t be the high school student who operated for Mr. Stowe, right? I heard about it on the way here… So, is Mr. Stowe fine?”

When everyone heard his words, they were all shocked.

Not only did Hardy know Paige, but he sounded like he approved of her medical skills.

Realizing no one answered him, Hardy was even more puzzled. “What, what exactly happened?

Paige, tell me about it.”

“Mr. Evans.” When Paige saw him, she greeted him. “Nothing! I just don’t want to see her in this line of work anymore.”

The hospital director glanced at Denise and then at Paige. “What did Denise do to make you angry?”

“I am not angry.” Paige looked like a strong woman. “This is the first time I have heard that a patient who suffers from endocarditis and paravalvular leakage can be treated with efloxate.” “Well, it will only give the patient momentary recovery of consciousness just before death. In less than half an hour, the patient will be gone!”

Hardy turned around and looked at Denise.

“I can only say your hospital is sloppy in hiring,” Paige said indifferently.

“Denise, why didn’t you give the patient surgery?” the Director immediately asked.

“Director, the patient’s condition was critical at that time, and we were also helpless…”

“That is your excuse to use efloxate? You know no one could save him if you had done it! You are a doctor, but when the patient still had hope to be saved, you were the first to sentence him to death! How can you do this?”

Before Denise could speak, Hardy said in disappointment, “Leave. You will no longer be an employee of Farwen Hospital. In the future, you are not allowed to be in this industry.” A doctor who didn’t care about the patient’s life but only her career didn’t deserve to be a doctor!

Hardy is the president of the National Medical Association. He could ban Denise from the industry.

“Director, give me another chance. Director…”

Denise knew the director drove her away because he was afraid Martin would blame him, which would have serious consequences. But Denise really couldn’t bear to leave this place… The salary here was high, and everyone was nice to her. Her future should be bright….

It was all Paige’s fault!

“Take her away!” After Hardy finished speaking, he turned around and apologized to Martin, “I am sorry. I am extremely ashamed that something like this happened right under my nose. Fortunately, Paige acted in time and did not make a big mistake!”

“What is your name?”

Martin’s gaze fell on Paige, and his voice was clear and cold. It could be seen that Martin was a man of few words, and even his expression was as indifferent as his tone.

Paige replied with good grace, “Paige Tate.”

“Give me your phone number.”

Martin handed over his phone and asked her to save her number in it.

Paige accepted the blank check and naturally understood what he meant.

If there was any problem with Killian, she would be responsible. Martin wanted her to leave her number so that he could contact her in the future.

She took Martin’s phone and tapped the screen with her slender fingers. She typed in a string of numbers and then looked up. Her beautiful face was fair. She returned the phone.

“Killian’s chest has been opened many times. After the surgery, his sternum will move, and it will become difficult to heal. His left leg will become painful from swelling due to bad circulation. Those are all normal phenomena.”

Paige explained so that Martin couldn’t blame her later. Martin’s gaze traced her facial features, and his voice was deep and clear. “How can we alleviate the pain?”

Paige glanced at the cardiologists behind him. “They can take care of the small problems.

Mr. Evans, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first.”

“Eh, OK…”

Going to the locker room to change out of her sterile suit, Paige put on a baseball cap, picked up her backpack, and prepared to leave.

“Paige!”

In the long corridor of the hospital, Colin caught up with her and said, “Is your right hand OK? I wanted to ask what happened to your right hand. Why did you perform the surgery with your left hand?” It was almost impossible for a right–handed person to complete the operation with her left hand.

“It’s fine.” Paige moved her painful wrist and said disapprovingly, “I beat a lot of people last night.”

Colin’s expression suddenly became complicated.

“So, you can also fight…” Just how awesome was Paige? She could easily obtain expensive medicine, perform surgery, and even fight…

Although Denise was trembling in fear, she still mustered up her courage and said, “It was Dr. Williamson’s idea.

If anything happens to him, he will bear the responsibility…”

“How does he bear the responsibility? Will he use all your lives?” Hearing Rhys’s words, Denise was so scared that her face turned pale, and she could not say a word.

“Mr. Stowe, let our experts go in and save your grandfather first. Leave the chief surgeon and assistant to me. None of them can leave.” After Rhys finished speaking, he coldly swept his gaze across everyone present.
Rhys had to let them know the price of acting recklessly!

How dare Colin randomly ask a high school student to perform surgery on Killian? Was he tired of living?

At this moment, the seven or eight experts behind Martin were all surprised.

“She separated all the conglutinations.” “Not a single blood vessel was injured. Even the heart tissue is intact. The key is that she is holding a knife with her left hand!” “How did she do it?” “It was such a difficult separation, but she was able to finish it so quickly…”

It was a very difficult operation, but Paige did it as if it was a piece of cake. After she finished treating the conglutinations, she looked up.

She was so beautiful and left a deep impression on everyone.

“Professor Swift, who is she?”

One of the foreign cardiologists brought by Martin asked, “Is she a new doctor in the hospital? I wonder if I have the honor to talk to her later?” “We came late and didn’t see how she opened the chest, but her medical skills are definitely above mine…” “I also have a question I want to ask her…”

Not only Rhys was surprised, but everyone else was shocked.

A young girl in her teens had completely separated all the conglutinations in the shortest time possible!

“It’s so surprising to achieve that.” “Even an experienced expert might not do this in such a short time.”

“Is it possible that she is an older experienced doctor who looks younger than her age?” Otherwise, how could she be able to do this?

Martin’s expression was solemn, and his handsome eyes revealed a trace of cold inquiry. He was hiding his emotions.

Denise couldn’t help but mock, “Even if she didn’t hurt the blood vessels and heart tissue, Mr. Stowe has undergone many operations on the heart, so there wasn’t much heart petaled tissue left to sew up. In other words, the mitral annulus wasn’t enough for artificial Heart valves to establish themselves.” That was also one of the reasons why they didn’t dare to operate.

“Denise,” Tim Swift scolded in a low voice, somewhat dissatisfied.

Denise said righteously. “I just want everyone to know that Mr. Stowe’s heart is seriously infected. The swelling of the tissue is serious, and the stitching of the artificial valves is extremely difficult… If there is a problem with her stitching, it will be hard for Mr. Stowe’s heart function to improve in the future. There is a high possibility that there will be serious complications.”

Tim realized Denise was causing trouble, so he quickly said to Martin, “Mr. Stowe, this little girl’s medical skills are brilliant. I believe she will be able to handle this situation… Moreover, Dr. Williamson will be her assistant. Dr. Williamson is born into a medical family and is talented and intelligent. His grandfather is Todd Williamson. His medical skills are famous around the world.” Todd? Martin understood.

The male assistant in front of him was Colin, Todd’s only beloved grandson. Todd was one of the famous doctors Martin had invited. Today, he happened to have a traffic jam on the road and had yet to arrive.

Noticing Martin had an indifferent expression and did not respond, Tim felt nervous. He did not know what Martin was thinking.

Next, Paige’s outstanding sewing skills made all the doctors present feel ashamed…

After the surgery, everyone was shocked. Killian survived. He was still alive!

“Paige, are you a human?” After watching the entire operation, Colin realized Paige was much more intelligent than he thought!

Colin had been prepared to save the day, but now it seemed he overestimated himself! Paige’s medical skills were far above his, so he did not need to worry about her!

“Wheel the patient out.” Paige washed her hands and walked out of the operating room.

Many doctors waiting outside were applauding and praising her medical skills.

When Denise saw it, she couldn’t help but clench her fists, and her nails dug into her palms. She didn’t expect Paige would be so capable.

When Killian’s emergency bed was wheeled out of the operating room, many doctors came forward to confirm that he was still breathing. It seemed his condition was stable. “Go, go… The patient needs to rest now.”

Colin knew Paige was tired. Unknowingly, they had been in the operating room for two hours. It was two o’clock in the afternoon. Colin wondered if she was hungry. Many doctors who joined in the fun dispersed.

Only Martin and several cardiologists were left, as well as Tim and the others. “I will send Mr. Stowe back to the ward first.” Colin turned to Paige and said, “I will be back in a while.”

Paige nodded and took off her mask, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. Her casual and seductive face was extremely charming. “Who is the family member?” Paige looked up.

There were still some things she needed to explain.

The man in the lead took a step forward and stood in front of her. He was 6’2″ tall, and she was 5’5″. They could make a cute couple. Paige looked at the man in front of her. His facial features seemed to have been carved with perfect proportions. His dark and deep eyes were charming and clear.

“Mr. Stowe, it’s like this. Your grandfather is in critical condition. I have promised this little girl that if she can save him, she will be generously rewarded…”

Tim quickly asked for the reward for Paige.

Martin looked at the little girl in front of him. His dark eyes revealed some emotions, and then he looked at Rhys.

Rhys immediately took out a blank check and handed it over. “Thank you, Doctor, for saving his life! Mr. Stowe is giving you this. Please put in any number you want.”

Paige looked up and was surprised by how generous Martin was. She wondered who he was.

The people present looked at her in surprise and envy…. Getting a blank check from Martin not only meant she would have a meteoric rise, but more importantly, she had Martin’s affirmation. She would have many great opportunities. She was so lucky and had a bright future.

“Then I will respectfully obey.” Paige’s lips curved slightly. She put the check into a pocket of her white coat with good grace.

“The patient won’t need a breathing machine tomorrow.” As soon as Paige finished speaking, she heard a sneer.
It was from Denise in the corner.

Tim, who had remained silent for a long time, said, “I’ll go and check it out. Let’s see how capable the girl is.”

As Tim left the ward, the other doctors followed him. “Professor Swift, you can’t just watch. We have to figure a solution out before Mr. Stowe comes over.”

Denise ordered the nurse beside her, “Go and turn on the monitoring in the operating room. We need to record the evidence. At the same time, I want to take a good look at how the girl embarrasses herself.”

The news that a high school student in her teens was about to have a difficult surgery spread over the hospital soon. The other doctors gathered outside of the operating room after they heard the news.

Tim was at a loss about what to do. How could a girl have a solution?

Paige changed into asepsis clothes and was about to enter the operating room. Just then, Denise appeared and said, “Listen, the patient suffered a rupture of the pericardium in the previous surgery. His heart is situated immediately behind the sternum. You have to pay close attention to it, or you will break his heart right after you open his chest. By then, you will regret getting involved in the matter.”

Paige raised her eyebrows and cast a glance at Denise, “I won’t make such a mistake like you.

“How dare you! Alright, show me what you can do.” Denise was furious. She turned around and walked into the observation room.

The observation room was filled with doctors. They were shocked when they saw a girl entering the operating room.

“Professor Swift, where did she come from? How could you let her fool around like this?” “How old is she? It looks like she hasn’t even graduated from high school yet. The one lying on the bed is the grandfather of Mr. Stowe…” “What if something bad happens? Mr. Stowe won’t let us off easily.” “The girl loves to push herself forward, and Dr. Williamson is willing to take responsibility. What are you worried about?” Denise said with her arms crossed. She looked at the girl through a glass wall mockingly.

Paige put on a medical mask. One could tell that she was composed based on her clear and charming eyes. It seemed that she was indeed an experienced surgeon.

“Adjust the patient’s position.” “Apply anesthesia.” “Skin disinfection.” “Knife.” Paige ordered Colin in a calm voice.

The doctors in the observation room were surprised. “Does she know medicine?” “Her steps are correct…” “Can she save the patient?” Denise sneered, “I guess she learned those from TV. You’d better not fix your hope on her.” She didn’t believe that Paige knew how to operate at all.

Those who had a glimmer of hope for Paige’s medical skills opened their eyes wide when Paige picked up the knife and was about to start the surgery. “What’s wrong with her? It’s critical surgery. Why does she use her left hand? Is she left-handed?” “Can she use the knife with her left hand as steady as her right one?” “I don’t know if she is right-handed or not. She must have gone crazy if she dared to do surgery with her left hand deliberately.” “She doesn’t take the surgery seriously at all.” “She probably doesn’t know how to do the surgery. Professor Swift, how can you believe such a girl? She is going to scr*w the surgery up.”

It was the first time those doctors had seen someone completing such an important surgery with their left hand.

Colin was also surprised when Paige held a knife with her left hand. He remembered that she was right-handed. Was her right hand injured? Was that why she used her left hand?

Since Killian had undergone heart valve replacements many times, the structure of her heart had long been different from that of ordinary people.

Paige opened Killian’s chest without hesitation. Everyone in the observation was shocked.

“She is just a little girl, isn’t she? I’m sure that even those experienced old doctors won’t have the courage and confidence she does. She is much calmer than I thought. It’s amazing.” “Her skills seem to be excellent.” “She is good at using knives.”

Denise was stunned and murmured, “How is it possible…” She wondered if she underestimated Paige.

Obviously, Paige was not a novice at all.

When Paige opened Killian’s chest, she noticed that his heart was badly injured and the blood vessels were displaced. It was not easy to distinguish those vessels. What was more, Killian’s heart was extremely close to the sternum due to the lack of protection.

Colin took a look and knew that Killian was in terrible condition. He couldn’t help worrying about Paige. Surprisingly, the latter was calm and didn’t make any mistakes.

“Zoom in and show me the details.” Tim was shocked and could not help but wonder what she would do later.

Paige separated the sticky connection between Killian’s heart and the back of the sternum with a serious expression. It was the most difficult part of the surgery.

As Killian’s condition was bad, it would take at least a few hours for an experienced doctor to finish the part. However, half an hour was enough for Paige.

She lowered her head and operated on Killian with her bright eyes full of confidence.

All the doctors held their breath as they watched Paige do the surgery carefully. It was critical. If she hurt Killian’s heart or blood vessels by accident, Killian would die immediately.

Just then, a group of people appeared. Although the man in the lead was only about twenty years old, he looked commanding and powerful. He had exquisite facial features, especially sharp eyebrows, and a handsome nose. He looked extraordinarily heroic, cold, and noble.

As soon as the doctors saw him, they stepped aside one after another. They said with their voices full of fear and awe, “Mr. Stowe, you’re here?”

Behind Martin were about eight cardiac experts. All of them were the best in the industry.

Apart from Martin, no one else could call these experts over in such a short period.

Tim bowed to Martin and said respectfully, “Mr. Stowe, your grandfather’s condition has worsened again. Even though we have coped with his pneumonia, there are symptoms of heart decay. During the examination today, we found that he suffers from several other diseases…”

“Who is she?” Martin’s cold gaze fell on the surgeon in the operating room.

Since she wore a surgical mask, only her eyes could be seen. However, it was not difficult to tell that she was in her teens.

“She is…” Tim followed his gaze and hesitated. His heart thumped non-stop. He didn’t dare to tell the truth. Martin probably would tear him apart.

Rhys Jones, the assistant to Martin, said in anger, “You can’t hire such a young doctor. On the way here, I heard that a high school student wanted to operate on the grandfather of Mr. Stowe. Is she the one? I didn’t know the doctors in Farwen Hospital were this irresponsible before. Do you know who she is? Do you know about her ability? It turns out that as long as one is brave enough, he or she can be a surgeon here. How dare you!”

“Mr. Jones, you are mistaken.” Tim was so scared that his legs went weak. He didn’t know how to explain for a while.

The other doctors in the observation room were also scared out of their wits.

• CEO’s Mysterious Fiancée by Piper Dunlap Chapter 6: Don’t Forget Your Words
• CEO’s Mysterious Fiancée by Piper Dunlap Chapter 5: You Can’t Afford

Tim was afraid of getting into trouble, so he persuaded Paige to change her mind. “It’s a difficult surgery. I’ve been a doctor for decades, but I still have no confidence in saving the patient. He is in a bad condition. Apart from Skylar Benson, the sage of medicine who has passed away, no one can bring the patient back to life. We are eager to operate on the patient. However, we are not competent to do so.” Tim didn’t lie. He had no choice but to use some medicine first. Only after they got Martin’s permission did Tim and the others dare to operate on his grandfather.

What if his grandfather died in the surgery? Tim and the others feared that Martin would take revenge on them…

“The one who saves the patient can be rewarded after the surgery, right?” Paige suddenly asked.

Tim was stunned. After a while, he said hurriedly, “Of course.”

Killian was a distinguished patient. As long as Paige could save his life, she would get a big reward.

Although Paige had earned a huge amount of money, she gave most of it to the Tate family. What was worse, she had to cure Cassie’s disease. She had no savings…. She decided to do the surgery and make some money.

Tim stared at Paige’s confident expression and couldn’t help being convinced by her powerful aura. He asked, “Are you indeed a doctor?”

“I know how to do surgery.” Paige curled her lips.

“Then, what’s your plan?” “The patient needs to have a heart valve replacement. I can do it, but I have a request. I want Colin to be my assistant.”

Denise found it unbelievable. With a snort, she said, “No way! Who do you think you are? Do you know exactly who Colin is? I can call him over, but I can confirm that he won’t be your assistant.”

She paused and turned to Tim as if looking down upon Paige. She said, “Professor Swift, let’s not waste time with her. It’s a critical condition. We’d better use efloxate and some medicine as soon as possible.”

After that, she ordered a nurse beside her, “Go and fetch the medicine. Bring some bodyguards over as well. We have to drive this crazy girl away.”

When the nurse ran out, she accidentally bumped into Colin. She explained to the latter what had happened in a flurry.

Soon, a familiar voice was heard in the ward. “Who’s looking for me?”

Everyone in the ward looked up. They didn’t expect that they would see Colin here.

They wondered how the nurse took Colin here.

After all, Colin had been aloof and persisting in his old ways. No one could force him to do anything he didn’t like.

Denise took the chance to criticize Paige, “Dr. Williamson, you got here at a good time. Do you see the bold girl? She wants you to be her assistant.”

Colin glanced at Paige, who stood aside casually. It seemed that she didn’t take what Denise had said seriously at all and no one else could hurt her.

He frowned slightly and glanced at Denise. He ha*ed her rudeness and asked the others, “What happened?”

Before anyone else spoke, Denise explained the situation to Colin. She deliberately tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her beautiful profile. She wanted to leave a good impression on Colin. “The patient’s Condition is terrible, but we haven’t seen any similar cases at home and abroad.”

Given that Paige wanted to save Killian, Colin reluctantly decided to help her. He said expressionlessly, “What are you guys doing now? Hurry up and start the operation.”

Denise was shocked at his words. In her hurry, she said, “Dr. Williamson, are you serious? It’s not likely to do the operation successfully now. The patient has a high social status. We can’t afford the consequences if the operation fails.”

Colin’s face turned sullen. He said in a cold voice, “You don’t need to worry about the result.”

“Dr. Williamson…”

“I’ll bear the responsibility alone.”

All the doctors present were stunned. They didn’t know Colin was this willful before.

Colin did not waste time with them anymore. He glanced at Paige and said, “Come with me.” He led Paige to the operating room.

When passing by Denise, Paige wore a smile and asked, “Didn’t you say that Dr. Williamson would never agree to be my assistant? What are you thinking now?”

Denise was lost for words. What she had said in public occurred to her mind. She was surprised that Colin would agree with Paige’s request.

Colin had been proud. Why did he suddenly change his personality?

Was he fascinated by Paige? After all, Paige was truly good–looking.

Paige curled her lips and said, “Don’t forget your words.”

“What do you mean?” Denise recollected what she had said before. “I see. If you can save the patient, I will kneel before you and pay respect to you. You’d better not be overconfident. If the patient dies, you have to take all the responsibility.”

Paige gave Denise a mocking smile and a contemptuous look, saying, “Actually, I don’t care if you respect me or not at all. After all, you are not a big deal.”

“How dare you!”

“Don’t forget to kneel later.” Paige followed Colin after finishing her words.

Denise watched her leave and was irritated by her. “If you can save the patient, I’ll not only kneel before you but also step down as the deputy director.”

As Denise spoke, she patted her chest card. “Show me how capable you are!”

When Colin heard their conversation, he inadvertently asked, “Why do you argue with her?” “I hate her. She is stupid and arrogant.”

Paige made up her mind to take Denise down a peg or two. Otherwise, Denise would never realize that she was not as talented as she thought.

Since Killian had been pushed into the operating room by two nurses, there were only a few doctors in the ward looking at each other in dismay. “They completely go insa*e. How dare them!” “How can the patient have surgery? Dr. Williamson is too young to know the consequences of failure. It is not as simple as losing his reputation or ruining his career.”

All the doctors left trembled when they thought of Martin. If something bad happened to his grandfather, he would kill all of them.

“Professor Swift, shall we stop Dr. Williamson and the girl? It’s human life.” “The patient is the grandfather of Mr. Stowe. We must prevent them from messing around like this. Professor Swift, what should we do now?” “That’s right. Hurry up and stop them. We still have time.”

Unlike them, the female director was not that anxious. She somewhat believed Paige. “Dr. Williamson was born into a medical family. All his family members are talented in medicine. Although he is not as skilled as Skylar, he is an excellent doctor and probably can bring the patient back to life.”

The male director added, “Dr. Williamson is well–praised as a genius. As long as he is here, there may be a miracle…”

“Are you kidding me? Don’t forget that Dr. Williamson is going to be the girl’s assistant. It’s the girl who will operate on the patient. She is so young. How can she save the patient? Professor Swift, say something!” said another anxious director.

“What are you worried about? Do you remember what Dr. Williamson said? If the surgery fails, he will bear the responsibility alone.”

“The patient is the grandfather of Mr. Stowe. If he dies, Mr. Stowe will blame us for not stopping Dr. Williamson.”

“Then, Dr. Williamson is supposed to be blamed. We have tried hard to stop him, haven’t we? He didn’t listen to us and was determined to make trouble with the girl,” Denise said heartlessly. She wondered, the girl possibly didn’t know the patient’s true identity. If she knew, she would have been scared away.

How could she dare to have the surgery?

Tim continued to think, as long as Mr. Stowe’s family signs the consent form, we can operate on him. Even if he dies, it will have nothing to do with us. We did the best we could.

However, I don’t think he can wait that long. If we don’t do something, he will die in ten minutes.

“Professor Swift, shall we wait for his family?” Denise Moore, a young deputy doctor, tentatively asked. “If we operate on him directly…” She thought, if something happens, Mr. Killian’s grandson will come after us. Our hands are tied.

Mr. Killian is bound to die today.

“I suggest we give him heart stabilizer and efloxate now. The others can wait till his family gets here,” Denise suggested.

The other doctors couldn’t think of anything better. They remained silent and looked at Tim, waiting for him to make a decision.

Tim did not speak for a long time. Seeing that, Denise decided to be the decision maker and ordered the nurse beside her, “Go fetch the heart stabilizer and efloxate.” The nurse was about to do as she was told.

Paige, who was at the door, spoke lazily again, “If you do that, he will die.” She thought, once they give him the heart stabilizer and efloxate, no one can save him. He is now too fragile to take any medicine. Giving him the heart stabilizer and efloxate can only sober him up for a while. He will die within thirty minutes.

“Who are you? Where do you come from? Go away. We are busy here. We have no time to waste on you.”

Denise thought, what a pain in the ass. Where does she come from? We are the experts, and we are trying to come up with solutions here. What is an ignorant girl doing here? “Quack.” Paige didn’t bother to waste time with them and was ready to leave.

“What did you say? Stop right there!” Denise was furious and shouted. “Denise, she is just a girl. There’s no need to be so serious with her.

Mr. Stowe is our priority now,” Devan persuaded her. “She calls me a quack!” Denise was angry and looked at Paige with dissatisfaction. Denise thought I’m the most qualified, youngest deputy doctor in this group. I have received countless awards and praise. How dare she question my medical skills?

“She doesn’t know what’s going on here. There’s no point arguing with her.” Devan was anxious. He just wanted to deal with Killian as soon as possible. He thought, in any case, he must not die here, or everyone present will be doomed.

Right now, we can’t operate on him, and we can’t just let him die like that. I guess the heart stabilizer and efloxate are our only options.

“Who did you call a quack?” Denise came in front of Paige and asked unconvinced. “Tell me. I’m listening.”

“Who else besides you?” Paige raised her eyebrows, obviously not taking Denise seriously.

“You…” Denise was furious. She thought, how dare you!

Paige crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a lazy tone, “In his condition, there is nothing to do but operate.”

“Operate? Easy for you to say.” Denise was so angry that she grinned. “Mr. Stowe has already had five heart surgery. Nowhere in his heart is intact. Let alone Farwen Hospital, no hospital in the whole country dares to perform his sixth heart operation on his scarred heart!”

“Forget it, Denise.” Devan just wanted to smooth things over. However, Denise was way more hot–tempered.

“There is no case like his in all the medical literature, including the foreign ones. His case is very unique,” Denise said word by word. “Do you know how difficult the operation is? Before that, we communicated with numerous well–known cardiac surgeons at home and abroad. No one could think of a better way.”

“That’s because you are bad at it.” Paige raised her eyebrows.

Denise sneered and scoffed, “Are you saying that you’re good at it? Go ahead then.”

Paige glanced at the old man on the bed. She looked somehow a bit more unbridled, and she said in a casual tone, “You can’t afford me.”

Denise was amused. “He is not someone ordinary. Money is just a figure for him. If you can save him, forget about the money. I’ll kneel in front of you!”

“Alright.” Paige raised her eyebrows.

Denise didn’t take Paige’s reaction seriously. “You are so ignorant. Have you graduated from high school? Do you know which side of the body the heart is on? Surgery is a serious business. It’s not like cutting some steak in a restaurant. You can’t just do whatever you want. I don’t care who you are or where you come from. Apologize to me and get lost, and I’ll let you slide.”

Paige glanced at the ID card on Denise’s left chest and said disapprovingly, “You’re the deputy doctor of cardiac surgery, yet you can’t even operate artificial valve replacement. And you want me to apologize to you?”

“You…”

“A quack is better than you.”

“Listen to her! What the heck is she talking about? How can she say that?” Denise was flustered and exasperated.

The female director muttered to herself, “I’m surprised that she knows artificial valve replacement…” She thought it was such a professional medical term. I can’t believe I heard it from her mouth. Maybe she knows medicine indeed.

Devan realized the same thing. He looked at Paige with surprise and shock in his eyes and whispered to Denise, “Why don’t we let her try? Maybe she can do something.”

“Mr. Herbert, what are you thinking? How can you believe her?”

Before Denise finished speaking, another doctor whispered, “If something happens, we can let her take the blame…” “She is not a doctor here!” Denise turned around and whispered. “You know who Mr. Stowe is, don’t you? If something happens, all of us present will be doomed. Do you think letting her be the scapegoat will be enough?” She turned around and glanced at Paige, her eyes full of contempt. “If she knew anything about medicine, she’d be known for it, and she’d be the chief here. None of us would be needed.”

Devan was helpless. “But we don’t have a better way now…”

“Maybe we should… get Dr. Williamson here,” the female director said tentatively.

Colin was recognized as a genius in the hospital. However… “Dr. Williamson is very proud. He won’t take a look at patients who aren’t in his charge.”

Denise knew it very well. Therefore, she never bothered Colin with such a matter.

Colin had a bad temper. Chances are, they might get kicked out. He wouldn’t care about embarrassing them at all.

“Then what should we do now?”

Perhaps their voices were a bit loud. Around eight people outside the ward were watching them, discussing.

“The Tate family treats you so unfairly. I think you have done enough for them. You don’t need to…” Before Colin could finish his words, he saw the warning look from Paige.

“What is it? Am I wrong? Her son comes less frequently than you.” Half a year ago, Colin graduated from a top medical university in the country and came to Farwen Hospital for an internship. He was born in a family full of doctors, which made him arrogant, though he was new here. Then he met Paige. Only then did he know that he was nothing compared with her in terms of medical skills.

One time, he was working on a difficult case. For a couple of nights, he kept studying and stayed up late. Yet Paige took one look at it and offered him a wonderful solution easily and casually. Another time, Paige came across a patient’s chest radiograph and CT scan and knew he had lung cancer at a glance. Before that, Colin ruled that the patient had severe pneumonia.

Similar things were countless.

And there was one thing that made him admire her the most.

Cassie was dying, He had announced Cassie’s critical condition a few times now, yet Paige managed to save her again and again.

Paige, for Colin, was a horrifying high school student. Every time she appeared, she managed to shock him completely. She shattered his arrogance and ignorance, forcing him to bow his head.

During his half-year of internship, Colin witnessed how unfairly the Tate family treated her. Later, Colin and Paige became familiar with each other and became friends. He knew that the best thing in Cassie’s condition was a heart transplant. However, she was too old, and she had high blood pressure and whole heart failure. She wasn’t up to surgery at all. By letting her take Heart Relief Pills, Paige was hoping that she could do better, instead of being too fragile to be pushed into the surgery room.

On the contrary, the Tate family had no idea. They thought Cassie would be fine as long as they paid her medical bills and let someone take care of her in the VIP room. “There’s no way the Tate family would pay 1.6 million dollars for this.” “Alright then. Take care of Cassie for me, OK?”

Paige glanced at Cassie and said reluctantly. “I should go.” She thought I should go now.

If Cassie wakes up and sees me, she’ll be even more agitated. If her condition gets worse, things will be trickier.

Colin glanced at Paige and whispered, “I’ve got it covered. Don’t worry.” “OK.” Paige glanced at Cassie.

There were many things she wanted to say to Cassie. Yet in the end, she said nothing. She left Ward 301.

At the same time, several doctors were in a hurry. They looked flustered.

“What happened? How come Mr. Stowe gets worse all of a sudden?”

“I heard that he has been refusing to take his meds just so his grandson would show up…”

“Ridiculous!”

Not long after Paige left Ward 301, she got a bump in the shoulder from one of the doctors.

They rushed to Ward 306 hastily. When Paige passed by the door, she happened to see the dying old man on the bed. “He went off his meds without permission. Does his life mean nothing to him?”

“What should we do now? Have the families been informed?” “They are on their way. We can only decide whether to operate or not after they get here.”

Paige stood at the door of Ward 306 and said to them casually, “He will be dead by the time they are here.”

Those several anxious doctors heard her words and looked in the direction of her voice.

They saw a young girl standing at the door. She looked like a teenager, but there was a cool aura about her. Her eyes were bright and clear, and her pair of slender and fair legs made her more charming.

“You are just a teenage girl. What do you know?” Devan Herbert, the chief male physician, didn’t take her seriously seeing that she was so young. “His condition is very complicated. We will operate on him immediately once we can be sure.” Waiting for his family was the only option they had.

Paige raised her eyebrows and asked with confusion, “Is his rheumatic heart disease that serious?”

“You can tell?” Devan was a bit surprised. “She knows medicine?” An aged chief female physician was surprised as well.

“Since you know the cause, then I’m sure you know that he needs a heart valve replacement. It’s not the first time that he has had a heart valve replacement,” Devan explained.

Paige raised her fair and delicate face, and her charming eyes were shining with a bright light. She looked disapproving.

“The fact that he needs more than one valve replacement only suggests one thing. You didn’t treat him with adequate antibiotics, which is why he developed an infection and perivalvular leakage.” Hearing her words, all the doctors in the ward were stunned.

“Hey! She knows medicine indeed.” “She even knows about perivalvular leakage.”

Killian Stowe went off his meds without the doctor’s permission, so he wasn’t treated properly with enough antibiotics. That was why he developed an infection and perivalvular leakage.

“She’s just a girl. Stop wasting your time talking to her. How long till the family gets here?” an aged man said. He was Tim Swift, the most powerful heart expert in the hospital. He was over 50 years old, and when he spoke, he sounded dignified.

“Professor Swift.” Everyone became respectful in the next second. One of them replied, “Judging from the previous situations, they’ll need at least another twenty minutes.”

Twenty minutes would be too long. Tim thought Mr. Stowe can’t wait that long. Mr. Stowe had mitral valve replacement surgery abroad before. Shortly after, he developed a perivalvular leakage, so he went abroad for another heart valve replacement.

However, not long after the operation, he had an infection and a recurrence of perivalvular leakage. At that time, his condition was so critical that it was too late for him to go abroad again. He had to undergo surgery in the country.

The Department of Cardiac Surgery of Farwen Hospital is well-known throughout the country, and countless people know about my excellent medical skills.

That night, with pressure from all sides, I completed an impossible operation. It was a miracle!

But not long after, Mr. Stowe was infected again and had to undergo another operation.

His condition now is even more serious. His upper respiratory infection has gradually developed into pneumonia. We have made a lot of efforts to deal with his pneumonia, and now he shows symptoms of heart failure.

Just now, I found that Mr. Stowe has artificial valve infective endocarditis and perivalvular leakage. His condition is very critical. Under such circumstances, the success rate of surgery is less than 10 percent. There is only one way to deal with Mr. Stowe’s condition now. We have to wait for his family to be here.

Ryker accidentally stained his suit, because he had been inspecting the car. Seeing the Tate family walk out of the villa, he didn’t have time to think about anything else. He hastily took out a few gift boxes from the trunk. He thought Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk told me repeatedly to make sure the Tate family received these gift boxes. I blamed the truck driver. Because of him, the gift boxes are dented, and they don’t look so nice.

“Mr. Tate, right?” Ryker came to Tyrell and politely presented the gift boxes. “These are a token from Ms. Paige’s parents. Please do accept them…”

“I can’t accept these,” Tyrell hurriedly declined. “These are too much. These years, we…” “We don’t need gifts. You may take her back now before her family waits too long,” Lindsey interrupted them and looked away. She didn’t even bother to stay here any longer. Instead, she went back into the villa. She thought these gift boxes are so shabby. I’m sure the gifts inside are lame as well. Our family doesn’t need cr*ppy things like that.

Abbigail held back her sarcastic smile and followed Lindsey triumphally, feeling superior. She thought Paige’s family is even worse than I imagined, which is just awesome!

Those several nannies also came inside. They were either disdainful or sympathetic.

Only Tyrell was standing in situ awkwardly. “Drive safely then… Take these gifts back with you as a token of my appreciation to the elders in Paige’s family…”

“But…” Ryker felt that he wasn’t in a place to decide. He thought, Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk specially instructed me to make sure the Tate family accepted the gifts.

“Paige.” Tyrell looked at Paige. He then tactfully said, “After going back home, be a good daughter to your parents. You don’t have to worry about us. Put your family first, alright?” He was implying that Paige could from now on forget about the Tate family. After leaving here today, Paige would have nothing to do with the Tate family.

“Mr. Tate, maybe you should accept those gifts… Mr. Tate?”

Ryker wanted to tell Tyrell that the gifts included the deeds and keys for thirty villas and thirty shops, a bank card with 500 million dollars in it, and precious nourishment that was nowhere to be found on the market. The gifts were a token from Paige’s parents.

However, Tyrell went inside before Ryker could say anything. Looking at Tyrell’s back, Ryker was puzzled and thought, why do I get the feeling that no one in the Tate family likes Ms. Paige? Is it my illusion?

Paige picked up the car door with her bare hands and reinstalled it easily. “Let’s go.”

Seeing Paige reinstall the car door and sit in the car, Ryker was shocked. He thought I can’t believe my eyes. Did she just reinstall the car door? How did she do that?

Along the way, Paige casually looked out of the window, and her pretty face was pleasing to the eye.

Ryker looked at her through the rearview mirror from time to time. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was the younger version of her mother.. There was a classy beauty in her every move.

“Aren’t we going to Hidalgo County?” Paige suddenly opened her mouth, and her gaze fell on Ryker.

“Hidalgo County?” Ryker came back to his senses. “Oh… Hidalgo County is Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk’s birthplace. Your home is in Chicago.” Chicago was one of the most developed first–tier cities in the country. There were four regions in total, including the North District, the South District, the East District, and the West District, and the North District was the least economically developed. The North District was divided into Berwyn, Midlothian, Bridgeview, and Burbank. Among them, Burbank developed the slowest. There were four towns in Burbank, namely Norridge, Niles, Skokie, and Dolton.

Tyrell was the richest man in Dolton. Tyrell worked his ass off for half his life and finally moved from a third–tier city to Chicago at the beginning of this year. He became the richest man in Dolton, the most backward town in Burbank, which was also the poorest area in the North District in Chicago. Though Dolton was just a border town in Chicago, compared with others, he was loaded enough. His wealth had already exceeded 160 million dollars, which was why Lindsey felt so superior and looked down on others.

After Abbigail entered the villa, she inadvertently looked out of the window. Instantly, she was stunned. She couldn’t believe her eyes. “Mom, their car…”

Lindsey followed Abbigail’s gaze while saying disapprovingly, “What is it? Abbigail, listen to me carefully. From now on, you and Paige will be strangers. Don’t think of her as your sister anymore. Blacklist her completely. Don’t say yes even if she finds some other ways to borrow money from you. Understand?”

“But Mom… I just saw their license plate. I think it’s a local plate. And the numbers on the license plate are the same.” Cars with such license plates were a remarkable presence in Chicago. The car was parked across from the villa, so Lindsey only saw the side of the car, instead of the license plate. behind it. She smiled at Abbigail’s words, feeling that Abbigail was a bit ignorant. “Abbigail, in Chicago, only bigwigs get to have license plates with identical numbers. That damned girl’s home is in Hidalgo County. You must have seen it wrongly.” Lindsey thought, even our family doesn’t have that kind of license plate.

On no ground could Paige’s family have that.

“Unless her family lives in Larsen Villa,” Lindsey sneered.

Larsen Villa was the most famous and expensive villa area, which was in the best location. It was located in the center of Chicago, and it was only for the rich.

In the Rolls–Royce, Ryker respectfully said, “Ms. Paige, we are twelve miles away from your home, Larsen Villa. If you are tired, you can take a nap.”

Under Paige’s long eyelashes, her pair of crystal–clear eyes flickered. She thought, my family lives in Larsen Villa? The most expensive villa area in Chicago?

“Can we swing by Farwen Hospital?” Farwen Hospital was a city hospital. It had the best medical resources and was not far from Larsen Villa.

“Ms. Paige, are you feeling unwell?” Ryker immediately said nervously. “I will speed up right away…”

“Before I leave, I want to visit Cassie.” In the Tate family, only Cassie Luke was nice to Paige. After knowing that Paige wasn’t related to the Tate family by blood, Cassie had been ill and hospitalized.

Ryker was surprised at how filial Paige was. He agreed, and at the same time, he was a little more impressed with her.

Ten minutes had passed.

Ryker stopped the car at the entrance of Farwen Hospital. Paige got out of the car and said in a soft voice, “Ryker, wait for me somewhere.” “OK.”

In Ward 301 of Farwen Hospital’s Inpatient Department lay an old lady with gray hair. Her face was gaunt and skeletal from the pain she suffered.

When Paige pushed open the door and came in, she was in a coma. Her eyes were closed, and her face was ghastly pale. The wrinkles on her forehead made her even more haggard. Paige walked over to Cassie’s bed gently, feeling more bitter. She thought, what happened to Cassie, who was once so fresh?

“Paige.” The young doctor, who was making ward rounds, looked up at her, and then he lowered his head to continue to write something on the medical records. “Perfect timing. Let’s talk.”

He put away his pen, raised his face, which looked so harmless, and stared at her with his charming eyes. “You know she’s not responding to any of the heart medications. She could hold on a couple of days longer when I upped the dose in the past, but not anymore.

“You know better than anyone that terminal heart failure means that the patient’s heart has reached the end of the road, and nothing can be reversed. In fact, it’s a miracle she has survived this long.”

The doctor didn’t get to finish his sentence.

Paige threw a tiny bottle over to him, her gaze never leaving Cassie.

“Heart Relief Pill?” Colin Williamson saw the thing in his hand and was shocked “Paige, where did you get it from?”

He thought it is those pills that have turned the black market upside down recently! These pills work wonders for patients with heart problems.

A single pill costs 1.6 million dollars. The price is high. What’s more, the pills are so rare. Only one of these pills is auctioned off a month. How did Paige get something as rare as that?

• Chapter 2: Throw the Necklace
• CEO’s Mysterious Fiancée by Piper Dunlap

Paige thought, seriously? Emphasizing stealing again?

You are making me bored. Your tricks are so old and lame. Don’t you have something better?

“Paige, I’ll stop M*m for you… Go!”

Paige’s lips curved slightly, and it seemed that she had seen through everything with her pair of clear and charming eyes.

Abbigail was a little afraid to see Paige like this. Though Paige looked casual, her domineering aura made her like a queen on top.

She made Abbigail feel uneasy and a little guilty.

Paige took the necklace and smiled, thinking, the ruby is so lame. I’m not interested in it at all.

Everything about it is so inferior, including color, clarity, and cut.

What kind of shabby workshop could produce such a thing? Is it worth 16 thousand dollars?

In my eyes, it’s worth nothing.

Everyone thought Paige would take the necklace away.

Yet in the next second, Paige threw the necklace into the trash can. She did it in the blink of an eye before anyone could react.

All the people present were stunned, including Lindsey. After a while, she angrily said, “Paige, what are you doing? It’s Abbigail’s favorite necklace. She gave it to you out of generosity. How dare you throw it away?”

“She gave it to me. In other words, I can deal with it however I want.” Paige raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lindsey. “I didn’t take any of the things you’ve bought me over the years.”

She couldn’t care less about a mere necklace.

“I bought the clothes I’m wearing as well as the things in my backpack myself.”

Paige’s words made one of the nannies sneer, “You bought them yourself? Mr. Tate and Mrs. Tate gave you the money!”

“Why should I tell you where I got my money?”

“You…”

“Do your job and be a good nanny. The rest is none of your concerns.”

The nanny was pissed off, yet she could do nothing to Paige. “Enough,” Tyrell sighed. He wanted to smooth things over and said, “Paige, it’s time. I’ll send you off.”

“No need, Mr. Tate. Save it.”

Paige addressed Tyrell as “Mr. Tate“. She was deliberately distancing herself from him.

Lindsey sneered and thought, you damn girl. You haven’t been to Hidalgo County, so you have no idea how hard life is there. You can’t wait to draw a line in the sand now? Don’t regret it! Don’t come to us, begging us to take you back!

“Mr. Tate, aren’t you going to check her bag? It’s so stuffed…” the nanny who had talked earlier reminded Tyrell, unwilling to let Paige go.

“That’s not necessary.” Tyrell was the richest man in Dolton anyway. He thought, even if Paige did steal something, I wouldn’t say it out loud.

I won’t do anything degrading like search her bag.

Paige carried her backpack and walked out of the door where a black car was parked.

What was eye–catching was that clearly, the car had been hit before. The rear hood was cocked up, and the car’s body was dented.

Also, the windshield was a little cracked. The driver got out of the car in a somewhat sorry state. His glasses were tilted to one side, obviously broken. He was slightly stunned when he saw Paige in the first second. He thought she is so stunning!

She has delicate eyebrows and an exquisite nose, making her so charming. She is the younger version of Mrs. Lusk. But I think she is more imposing and attractive than Mrs. Lusk was then.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Paige.” The driver hurried to Paige and sincerely apologized. “I was rear–ended by a truck and Get Big hit the railings. I was afraid of wasting your precious time, so I did not go home to change the car. But don’t worry. I checked it already, and there’s nothing wrong with it. It just doesn’t look very nice at all…” His words indicated a lot of things.

Paige thought they say that my hometown is a poor county. How can my family afford a car? If I am right, the car in front of me is a customized Rolls–Royce Supreme, and there is only one in the world. It’s worth at least 16 million dollars. Paige smiled meaningfully, “Care to tell me more?” “Sure.

You are the sixth kid in your family, and you have five older brothers,” the driver said. Then he hurriedly added, “I’m sorry that I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ryker Hornby, the family driver. You may call me Ryker.”

Paige thought we have a driver? I guess my biological family isn’t as bad as the Tate family claims. “Ms. Paige, where is your luggage?” Seeing that Paige was only carrying a backpack, Ryker was puzzled. “Is it inside? I’ll go in and get it for you.” “No need. It’s all here.” Paige didn’t have much luggage at all. She sounded languid.

Ryker nodded. “You may wait for me in the car. We’ll leave after I take the gifts Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk entrusted to me inside and express their gratitude to your foster parents.”

Ryker pulled the handle of the back door to invite Paige in. Unexpectedly, the next second, the car door shook and fell.

It was because of the accident earlier. The truck broke the car door hard. The Tate family happened to walk out and saw the scene.

Abbigail thought, what an eye–opener! What kind of crappy car is this? Is the door made of paper? How can someone go out driving such a piece of crp? What a joke! Exactly how miserable is Paige’s family? They’re poor enough to drive a car like this out.

Lindsey was also surprised at how badly Paige’s biological family was doing. She thought, how can someone drive a car like this? If I were the driver, I might as well be dead. Wait. Paige’s family lives in a poor county. How can they afford a car? The man probably borrowed the car from a friend to keep up appearances.

However, he is bad at driving, and he had a car accident.

If that’s true, things will be much more interesting. When he returns the car, he is going to have to pay a lot of money.

Tyrell looked at the man in front of him. The man looked dirty, and there were several gasoline stains on his suit. Tyrell thought, is he a motor mechanic? He looks too old to be Paige’s brother. Is he Paige’s father? Maybe he rushed here from the garage. He borrowed the car from someone to make himself look good. If what I’m thinking is correct, then he is nothing but vain.

I am the richest man in Dolton. He doesn’t have to pretend to be a fat cat in front of me. The car has a Rolls–Royce logo on the hood. However, I am a man with status and wealth. The car doesn’t look like any Rolls–Royce car at all!

In all my years, I’ve never seen a Rolls–Royce like this! The logo is fake for sure!
