Chapter 1092
Yale might be gentlemanly on the surface, but his methods were vicious. That snowy night all those years ago, his target was Ethan, but Olivia would've been killed if Ethan didn't protect her.Yale was the one behind it all. Olivia never forgot. This time, Yale was in the open while Olivia was in the dark.Krystal spoke up. "Yale, you have to stop her. Mr. Tucker and the others have been brainwashed by her. My father's life is already hanging by a thread. She's too young to have the experience to manage such an operation."If she tries her hand on my father, she could make a mistake that could cost my father's life!" "Don't worry, Krystal."Yale comforted Krystal and then turned to Tatiana. "Mrs. Heath, Krystal has a point. I'm not doubting the lady's capabilities, but she is indeed too young. How could she compare with Dr. Gatsby, who is an experienced veteran." Tatiana didn't know what to think. So, she looked at Ethan."Ethan, you've always been the stoic one. What do y

Rufus quickly walked up to Olivia. "You're Vanessa, right? I've heard Joel talk about you."Olivia suppressed the complicated emotions she was feeling. She feared that the others might pick up the change in her mood. So, she tried her best to make her voice seem steady. "Yes, Mr. Moran, I'm Vanessa.""I didn't expect the renowned Vanessa to be so young. I'll assist you with this operation. Any objections?" Before Olivia could turn him down, Krystal yelled, "Why should she be the one to operate, Mr. Moran?"She's not as experienced as Dr. Gatsby. Who will be responsible if anything happens to my father?""Krystal, I've seen videos of her performing surgery. She might be young, but she had steady hands and a calm demeanor. Lionel is pretty old. People like us don't have the reflexes of a younger person. Also …"Rufus didn't mention one crucial issue with Lionel. He shouldn't be allowed at the operating table. "Mr. Moran, I'm not doubting you, but both you and Mr. Tucker are

Olivia didn't accept the money. She replied calmly, "It's okay. This is a risky operation. If it goes well, fame and fortune await. But if anything goes wrong, the people handling it would be socially ruined. "I wouldn't even have come if not for Mr. Miller. This operation doesn't affect me whatsoever. But if Dr. Gatsby fails, you would be the ones affected.""What did you say? How dare you say that about my father?"Olivia didn't really care whose daughter Krystal was. They were living in a society governed by laws. They couldn't possibly kill her just for talking. "Ms. Heath, I'm just telling the truth. I really hope you are betting on the right person. Please don't come looking for me in the future. "Mr. Miller, I'd prefer it if you're the one who drove me home."Krystal wanted to yell some more, but Tatiana covered her mouth. "Haven't you said enough? Do you know your own position and hers? Why are you arguing with her?""Mom, I just can't stand how arrogant she is. T
Chapter 1095
Olivia said innocently, "I witnessed a surgery with my teacher when I was a freshman. "A renowned doctor's hands were shaking in the operating room. That almost caused the patient to die. "My teacher was able to save the patient with great effort. Do you know who that doctor was?""Dr. Gatsby?""Yes. He has a neurological illness. Something like that is hard to cure. It gets out of control during stressful situations. "Mr. Heath's surgery is an extremely difficult one. The stress would almost definitely cause him to relapse.""So, everything was within your calculations?"Olivia shook her head. "It's not part of my calculation. It's just fate. He made the operation harder for me. I might not be able to save Mr. Heath. You need to prepare for the worst."Ethan didn't reply. He knew it wasn't Olivia's fault. Whether Mason lived or died, it was up to fate to decide. He looked out of the window at the snow. Olivia was browsing her phone in boredom. Ethan suddenly said, "The

Tatiana knew their words were too harsh when they sent Olivia away. She was incredibly regretful that she didn't listen to Joel and Rufus.After all, it was only natural to choose an experienced doctor over a young lady.Tatiana also noticed that Olivia was a very proud person who didn't care about bureaucrats. Olivia was someone who spent most of her time in hiding. The wealthy people who wanted her to treat them didn't even know where to find her. Tatiana got on her knees and said, "Miss, I know we were in the wrong. I apologize for my arrogance and prejudice against you.""What are you doing, Mom? Do you really think she could save Dad? How could you kneel before a peasant like her?"Peasant? Olivia's lips twitched. It seemed like Krystal had been spoiled by her parents too much. She had never experienced how cruel the world could be. Did she even know what situation she was in?Olivia helped Tatiana up and said, "Mrs. Heath, your daughter is right. You shouldn't bend y
Chapter 1097
Linus was mature and stoic. He had a very commanding presence. "I heard that you're the doctor that Ethan recommended. I trust you. Just do your best. At this stage, even if you fail, you won't be held accountable."Olivia didn't waste any more time. "I'll head into the operating room immediately."Rufus became hopeful when he saw Olivia. Olivia looked at her former teacher. He was the one who brought her to sit in and observe all sorts of surgeries when she was a freshman. Back then, she would always look up at him while she was learning and taking notes. At that moment, she became the leading surgeon, and her teacher was her assistant. I didn't disappoint you, teacher. Olivia frowned as Rufus brought her up to speed. She could see the worry and helplessness in his eyes. The feeling of helplessness was one of the worst feelings for a doctor when they couldn't do anything while they watched the patient die before them.Olivia spoke up. "Don't worry, teacher. It might b
Chapter 1098
Apparently, Krystal still hadn't grasped the severity of the situation. If Mason passed, their family would lose all the power and glory they had. Did she think that would be good for them?Krystal looked into Linus' bloodshot eyes. At that moment, she truly felt fear. Her brother was different from her. He was enlisted into the army at a young age. While she was still looking at luxury items at the mall, Linus had already gotten countless medals of honor. He worked his way to his current position without any help from the Heath family. He had suffered hardships and starved. He crawled his way from the abyss to the light. Krystal was just a spoiled princess who was completely oblivious to their situation. "Linus, it hurts …"Tatiana quickly separated the two of them. "That's enough, Linus. Your sister is also worried about your father. There's no need to take your anger out on her."Linus said coldly, "You should stop spoiling her. Both of them are in their 20s. Vane

Ethan nodded. "Okay. Right this way, please."He brought Olivia to a suite. They went in simultaneously. Ethan hugged her as soon as they closed the door. "Liv, it was all my fault. I shouldn't have crushed your dreams in the past."Back then, there were two reasons for Olivia to drop out. The first reason was that Olivia was married to him, and her identity as his wife would put her in danger. His spouse had to keep a low profile.The other reason was that Olivia was too outstanding. Ethan was so possessive that he didn't want her to attract the attention of other men.He finally realized how ridiculous he had been."Liv, I'm proud of you. You're my pride and joy," Ethan said sincerely. Olivia had grown so much in the past few years. What Ethan didn't know was she had spent most of her time reading all sorts of medical books and articles while he was bedridden. In the past, she had observed countless surgeries with her teacher. In the past few years, she had performed s
