Chapter 351
Isaac stared fixedly at Irene for two seconds before turning to leave without a word.
Stan shot her a look too, thinking that she really did not know what was good for her.
Even Irene was taken aback.
Was she being too harsh?
She gave chase without thinking, since she did not want to fight with Isaac, only to run into Stephen. “Irene? Have
you finished the surgical plan?”
Irene was left in a dilemma, just as Stephen continued, “The patient has consented to the surgery. Call admin to see
if they have a free OR.”
Irene watched as Isaac strode off in the distance, and decided to leave an explanation for when she got home.
“Alright, I’ll ask,” she said with a nod.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt just so happened that there was an unoccupied operating room, and Stephen quickly arranged for Harvey’s
mother to be sent there.
As Irene arrived, Harvey stopped her. “Please save her.”
“You can count on Dr. Carr,” Irene replied.
She certainly did, especially with him presiding over the surgery.
That was when she noticed something. “Wait, what happened to your face?”
He was just fine when she saw him just now.
Stan grumbled, “A dog bit me.”
Irene was speechless. It was clear that someone hit him, and he was saying that a dog did it?
He did not even pay attention to his lie…
Still, she had no time to care. “I’m going in now.”
She scrubbed up and entered the operating room, where the nurses had already sedated Rosa.
Irene quickly proceeded to pre–surgery preparations and checked various equipment before the surgery again.
However, they had just opened Rosa’s thorax when Stephen’s hand began to shake.
He was not having stage fright, but he had essential tremor–he had constantly kept up with treatment, but this was
the first time he had an episode in surgery.
“Are you alright, chief?” Irene was worried when she saw it.
Stephen turned toward her. “Take the scalpel.”
“Me?”
“Yeah,” he said. “Don’t worry. I’m right beside you.”
Irene nodded–it was a rare practical lesson, so she calmly said, “I will do my best.”
She was confident since Stephen was there anyway, and moved up to take the scalpel.
She had experience with surgery anyway, but just had not performed heart surgery yet.
Still, she worked with focus and composure, and Stephen never said a word throughout the entire
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprocess because she had done very well.
Eventually, the procedure was completed without a hitch, with Rosa being sewn back up and wheeled to an
observation unit.
Stephen then nodded at Irene. “You have talent.”
“You’ve taught me well,” Irene replied.
Stephen smiled but said nothing–however, he had decided that she would be his apprentice now.
If his condition could not be treated, there was a chance that he could not perform surgeries at all. Even if it was a
close shave this time since Irene was here to take over, that might not be the case this time.
“May I leave work early today?” Irene asked, intending to explain herself to Isaac soon.
“Sure,” Stephen said, being more agreeable today. “Don’t make this a habit.”
“Yeah,” Irene said happily, and quickly packed her things before leaving the hospital.
On the way home, she got a call from Ricky. “Irene, remember the woman you asked me to investigate? I’ve got
something.”
