Chapter 75: The Divine Doctor
That was a matter of life and death. How could they let an amateur high school student even try? Just as Annette was about to speak, she was suddenly interrupted by the head of neurosurgery, who said, “Let her try.”
“Director?!” Annette thought he had gone mad. Have you gone mad?
Among all surgical procedures, neurosurgery was the most difficult. Many surgeons might not dare perform a craniotomy even after eight or ten years of practice. This patient's condition was particularly complicated. In addition to a three-centimeter-long tumor in his brain, he had been bedridden for many years due to paralysis, and his health was extremely poor. Astonishingly, he allowed a female high school student to attempt surgery on such a patient. The world had become mystical.
The head of neurosurgery was exceptionally firm, his gaze on Myrna radiating a fanatic light. He pressed Annette's shoulder with unusual determination and said, “None of us can perform this surgery. You’ve seen the patient’s condition. It’s impossible to transfer him, and we can’t wait for the specialist from Nemmington to arrive.”
His gaze fell distantly on the girl nearby: “If it’s her, there might be a chance!” He had seen Myrna save people before; her skilled medical techniques made him feel inferior.

Annette: “2”
“I took responsibility when things went wrong.” The director had been in the field for over thirty years, and his achievements in neurosurgery were recognized throughout the province. How could he have confidence in a surgery that even he himself was unsure about, let alone a stranger? That high school girl? What was the background of this high school girl?
Even though the other doctors were skeptical about Myrna, once the head of surgery had spoken, they busily began to prepare for the operation.
Cedric watched as everyone busily organized themselves. Myrna had followed the nurse to change into surgical scrubs. He clicked his tongue, his mouth hanging open for a long time, unable to close it. He looked at Calvin with a bewildered expression, “Mr. Larson, is Ms. Stark really going to perform surgery on that man? What if something happens…”
She…was too daring, wasn’t she!
Calvin didn’t speak, his hand swiftly fiddling with the beaded bracelet on his wrist. He instructed, “Call the airport at Nemmington, tell them what I mean, and have them arrange for a plane to bring medical personnel over immediately.”
“I needed speed, the fastest speed.” “It would have been best to skip the security check part.”

Cedric looked into his eyes in surprise, not seeing a hint of jest in them, his heart sinking. It was fine when Mr. Larson initially brought over the neurosurgery specialist from Nemmington; it was low-key. But arranging a private jet and bypassing security checks at the airport—this grand gesture would surely draw the attention of many in Nemmington towards Melcester. But he never questioned any of Calvin’s decisions. He wiped the sweat from his face, nodded seriously, and pulled out his phone, “I’ll do it right away.”
He quickly walked away to make phone calls to various parties.
Calvin, hands in his pockets, walked through the noisy corridor to the middle-aged woman with a waxen complexion, who was covering her face and crying. He bent down and patted her on the back, comforting her in a humble and gentle voice, “Monica, don’t worry, Erick will be fine.”
Monica lifted her head; her eyes, almost drained of tears from crying, stared blankly at the young man in front of her. For some unknown reason, her restless heart gradually calmed down. It was as if this man, whom she had only met once, really had the ability to pull her man back from the gates of hell.
Erick had fallen into a deep coma; his vital signs were extremely unstable, and he could stop breathing at any time due to the brain tumor. So the surgery was arranged very quickly.
Myrna, having changed into the hospital’s sterile surgical gown, pursed her lips with a determined look in her eyes. She entered the operating room, surrounded by several neurosurgeons.
The red light in the operating room…
