Chapter 666 The Surgery
Morrison, standing silently on the side, suddenly talked to Julius. He said in a humble and respectful tone.
Julius took a look at him with a strict expression. He asked, “Are you in charge of this surgery?”
Morrison nodded and responded. “Yes, professor, I’m in charge of orthopedics and wound suturing.”
Julius generously offered, “Fine, you can assist Fletcher and me today. Consider it a lesson out of school.”
Morrison was flooded with joy. He nodded quickly and kept saying, ” Thanks.”
Rhys was filled with a surge of astonishment by what he saw. He thought, ‘Dr. Rayes is an expert in orthopedics at Serenity General Hospital. Professor Ghett must be an authority in orthopedics to gain Dr. Rayes’ respect. Not to mention that Professor Keane hardly accepts any invitations from hospitals. Catherine made a phone call, and both of them were here in person. How powerful is she.’
Catherine stepped forward and shook their hands. “Thanks, professors. I owe you one.”
Fletcher approached Catherine with a shy smile and said, “Miss Swann, could you do me a favor? Let me know the next time Mr. Theo is in Loxton. It’s been a long time since I last saw him. I miss him a lot.”
Thomas’s whereabouts were always mysterious. Many people wanted to look for him.
Even Fletcher, as Thomas’s student, barely had the chance to see him without being called.
Only Catherine was able to make Thomas available on call. So, this was also a request by Fletcher out of selfishness.
Catherine agreed without hesitation, ” Okay!”She thought, ‘It happens to be Scott’s birthday next month. Thomas loved his grandson very much. He will come to Loxton. Just notify Fletcher when the time comes.’
Seeing that Catherine agreed, Fletcher couldn’t stop smiling. He pulled Julius towards the operating room and said, Hurry! Don’t waste time here.”
The surgery, originally scheduled for two hours, ended in over an hour.
Two professors walked out wearing green surgical uniforms, followed by Morrison.
Before the two professors could speak, Morrison eagerly promoted, “The professors are extraordinary. This surgery is so successful.
It was not a major surgery and can be performed in any big hospital. It’s just that Audrey was an actress. To avoid leaving scars increased the difficulty of the surgery. So Catherine specifically invited them to perform the surgery.
Catherine didn’t need to ask for the result. Fletcher had guaranteed that it wouldn’t leave a scar. Catherine trusted him.
Kim excitedly moved forward and welcomed Audrey, who was pushed out of the operating room. The surgery was performed under semi-anesthesia, and when Audrey came out, she was conscious but unable to move her body. When she saw Catherine standing on the side, tears of excitement almost came to her eyes.
Kim thought she was worried about her condition and quickly explained it to her, “Audrey, don’t worry. Catherine has hired the best doctors for you, ensuring no scars will be left and your fashion show in Paris next month won’t be affected.”
Audrey was annoyed by Kim’s nagging and impatiently closed her eyes. Triston took the opportunity to step forward and pulled Kim away. “Step aside, didn’t you see that she needs to rest? Let me tell you, she’s not allowed to work for the next month, and I’ll cover all the losses,” said Triston. ‘If I can’t even protect my women, what else can I do?” Triston thought. Triston dropped his words and ended the discussion. He accompanied Audrey into the ward to rest.
Kim stood on the side and muttered, “I don’t know what went wrong with Audrey lately. She has been unlucky for a long time. So far, it is the third time.”
What Kim said alerted Catherine. Catherine knew Triston took a hit for Audrey last time. Triston posted on his social media and boasted about it, claiming to be the Medal of Love.
There was no such thing as a coincidence in the world. If it happened several times in a row, there was a problem.
“Kim, how often did you say Audrey had been in trouble by now?” Catherine asked.
Seeing that Catherine was interested, Kim couldn’t help complaining, “Yeah, she has been unlucky for a while. When she was recording a variety show before, bad things kept happening to her. Recently, she has been filming with a crew, and the props always went wrong, which could be dangerous for actors and actresses. My heart has been beating fast lately. I feel like something else is going to happen. Catherine, do you think I should go to the church to pray for good luck?”
Catherine was an atheist. She believed someone was behind all these accidents. She gave a hint to Paxton beside her, and he nodded slightly at her before turning and leaving.
Catherine and Branden were pretty close. What Catherine said was equivalent to what Banden said. So Paxton knew what to do without Catherine’s order.
Triston accompanied Audrey closely in the ward, and Audrey’s condition also stabilized. As long as she stayed in the hospital and rested well, she would get well soon. Branden decided to take Catherine back home to take a break first.
He said to Catherine, “Let’s go. I’ll come with you tomorrow!” Catherine did not refuse and followed Branden into the car. Paxton was not there, so Branden drove.
A low-key black car slowly drove through the noisy neighborhood, and Catherine looked through the window at the lively scene under the night lights, unable to help but keep looking.
The car slowed down, and Branden pulled it over by the road. Catherine turned to look at him and saw that his eyes were bright. He smiled at her and casually said, “Let’s get out of the car and grab a bite.”
There were many small restaurants along the road. The most attractive one was a fried chicken shop, releasing waves of food smell that stimulated the taste buds of passersby.
Branden and Catherine walked into the small fried chicken shop and sat down. The moment they sat down, they caught everyone’s attention. The way they dressed and their faces showed they were not ordinary people. Such figures often sat in high-end restaurants, not casually in small roadside shops.
The fried chicken shop was not far from the hospital, and not long after the two of them drove out, they came across this street, providing small snacks.
Thinking of Kim being busy at the hospital all day, Catherine sent a message in their chat room on WhatsApp and left the address, inviting Kim to grab a bite together.
Kim was awkward about staying with Audrey and Triston. So he replied right away, [Be there in a minute. Order me a cheeseburger.]
Ronin initiated the chat room. They were all good friends who enjoyed spending time together. Knowing Branden and Catherine were having dinner with a third one, they all wanted to come.
Ronin texted, [I’m there.]
Zobber sent a message, saying, [I’m in.] Aidan responded, [What’s the address?]
