The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: A Visitor from the Yancey Family_1

In the hospital ward.

Nathalie Quinlan saw that the little guy had already fallen asleep holding the ’gum’ bottle she had given him. Seeing his eyelashes wet with tear stains and his eyes painfully closed, he was biting his lips tightly even in his dreams, it was clear he had not had the heart to eat the little sugar pill she had offered him.

Nathalie Quinlan’s heart clenched at the sight of the tears on his eyelashes, and she unconsciously lightened her steps.

Fearing she would wake the little one on the sickbed.

”You’re back?”

As soon as Nathalie Quinlan returned, the chief of orthopedics stood up first from beside the bed, approached her, furrowed his brows, and stared at her seriously, dissatisfied, ”Ms. Quinlan, I know you might have learned some medical skills under certain circumstances, but treating patients and casually learning medicine are two different things!”

”We doctors emphasize the gold hour, once a patient misses the best treatment time, even if surgery is performed later, the results are often unsatisfactory. I hope you take this matter seriously!”

It wasn’t that he had any issue with Nathalie Quinlan, but as a doctor, he sincerely hoped his patients could be safe and sound.

Besides, the child was beautifully fair and elicited great sympathy.

Of course, as a doctor, he wanted to cure him.

But Edric Yancey’s unique identity meant the treatment plan he suggested did not satisfy the Yancey family, and as a doctor, he did not dare make decisions on his own.

Watching the surgery’s golden hour slipping by the minute, he was so anxious that he couldn’t help but lash out at Nathalie Quinlan.

After venting his anger, he realized he was wrong to do so.

The other party was just a high school girl who hadn’t even attended college.

They were proper doctors, and it was really graceless of them to lose their temper at a high school student.

He rubbed his forehead and then apologized to Nathalie Quinlan, ”I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lashed out at you.”

”Ms. Quinlan, tell me honestly if you have a better way to treat this younger brother?”

He was serious, ”If you don’t, I hope you tell Mr. Yancey the truth about the situation so we can still seize the time to operate on the younger brother... Although the results might not be satisfactory, it’s the best we can do, and we will give it our all!”

The orthopedic staff didn’t say it out loud, but they agreed with him in their hearts.

About ten people were all looking at Nathalie Quinlan, waiting for her answer.

They could see that Mr. Yancey trusted her immensely; without her clarifying, today’s surgery couldn’t proceed.

Nathalie Quinlan didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she walked over to the bed, wiped the undried tear stains off the little guy’s eyelashes with a tissue, and threw it into a nearby trash can. When she turned back around, she had gathered up the tenderness in her face, one hand in her pocket, both beautiful and cool.

”Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

”I’ve got what I needed. Let’s prepare for the surgery.”

...

The lights in the operating room lit up.

From green to red.

This time, Amadeus Yancey and Alfred Garland were the ones waiting outside.

Compared to the last time, Alfred Garland was much more composed this time around.

Especially after learning that Nathalie Quinlan was the divinely skilled doctor from McKinney, he became even more calm!

After all, for the young master’s condition, aside from Nathalie Quinlan, there wasn’t a second person in McKinney who could cure him!

As for the results, he could only think optimistically, hoping that Ms. Quinlan would be able to heal the young master.

The surgery went on for a full four hours, with the sky outside changing from a pale belly of a fish to complete darkness, the night sky hanging high.

Candice Yancey had rushed all the way from Beijing by airplane to McKinney, and then hurried from the airport to the hospital without a moment’s rest.

As soon as she saw Alfred Garland and the others, ignoring her exhaustion, she asked anxiously, ”Amadeus, where is Edric? Where’s Edric?”
