    Chapter 7


    Dr. Greg finally broke the silence and said, “Let’s just see how she handles this patient.”


    After Dr. Greg left, several other doctors trailed behind him. “Dr. Greg, you can’t just watch. We need to


    do something before Mr. McMillian arrives…”


    Susana turned to a nurse and said, “Turn on all the cameras in the operating room. I want to record


    everything. Plus, it’ll be fun to watch her make a fool of herself!”


    Word spread around the hospital about aplex surgery being performed by a high school girl, and


    doctors flocked to watch. mA young girl could cure a disease that even Dr. Greg can’t handle. Was this


    some kind of joke?


    As Arabe donned her surgical gown and prepared to enter the operating room, Susana approached


    her. “Just a heads-up, the old man’s pericardium was damaged in a previous surgery. His heart is


    practically glued to his sternum. If you’re not careful during the operation, you could rupture his heart


    and kill him. Then you’re done.”


    “I’m not you,” Arabe replied coolly, her beautiful eyes sparkling. “I won’t make such a rookie


    mistake.”


    Furious, Susana stomped and stormed off, muttering, “I can’t wait to see how you handle the first cut.”


    The observation room was packed with doctors, all stunned to see a young girl at the helm of the


    surgery.


    “Dr. Greg, where did this girle from? Are you seriously letting her run wild?”


    “She looks like she hasn’t even graduated from high school… The patient is Mr. McMillian’s


    grandpa…”


    “If anything goes wrong, we’re all screwed.”


    “She likes the spotlight, Dr. Caden is willing to take the fall for her. Why should you guys worry?”


    Susana stood with her arms crossed, watching the girl through therge ss wall with a sarcastic


    smile.


    Arabe put on her surgical mask, her captivating eyes were bright and steady, and she exuded


    confidence.


    “Adjust the body position.”


    “Start the anesthesia.”


    “Disinfect the skin.”


    “Hand me the scalpel.”


    Arabe issued orders to Caden in a methodical manner.


    The doctors in the observation room were all taken aback.


    “Does she really know what she’s doing?”


    “She seems to be following the right steps…”


    “Could she actually save Phillip?”


    Susana sneered, “Maybe she learned it all from TV. Don’t get your hopes up.”


    If this girl could actually save lives, she would eat a scalpel on live TV.


    When the doctors saw Arabe holding the scalpel in her left hand, they all gasped.


    “What’s going on? She’s left-handed?”


    “Left-handed surgeons aren’t as steady as right-handed ones.”


    “If she’s right-handed but deliberately using her left hand, she’s nuts!”


    “She doesn’t seem to be taking this seriously.”


    “Maybe she never intended to perform the surgery. Dr. Greg, how could you trust a little girl’s words?


    We’re screwed!”


    Nobody would dare to use their left hand for such a major surgery!


    Caden was surprised to see Arabe using her left hand. He remembered her being right-handed. Had


    she injured her right hand?


    Due to multiple heart valve recement surgeries, Phillip’s heart structure was far from normal.


    Arabe made the first


    Incision without hesitation, shocking everyone.

    “Even experienced surgeons wouldn’t dare to do this. How could a little girl be so calm andposed?


    I’m starting to question my own eyes!”


    “Her first cut was spot on…”


    “She’s fast, precise, and ruthless.”


    Even Susana was stunned. “How is this possible…”


    How did she do it? She didn’t seem like a novice at all.


    Arabe found Phillip’s heart covered in scars, with blood vessels disced. Without the protection of


    the pericardium, his heart was practically attached to his sternum.


    Caden saw the severity of the situation. Initially, he was worried she wouldn’t know what to do, but she


    remained calm and handled every detail perfectly.


    “Zoom in on the video.” Dr. Greg, despite his shock, was curious to see how she would handle the next


    steps.


    Arabe was meticulously separating the adhered heart and sternum, the most challenging part of the


    surgery. Considering Phillip’s condition, even experienced surgeons would take hours to handle this.


    But for Arabe, half an hour was enough. She was focused, her bright eyes sparkling with


    confidence.


    Everyone held their breath, as this was an extremely critical phase. Any mistake could be disastrous!


    Suddenly, a group of people entered. The man leading the group seemed to be in his twenties, but he


    exuded a powerful aura. With sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and delicate features, he was imposing


    and stern. People stepped aside when they saw him, their voices filled with fear and respect. “Mr.


    McMillian, you’re here?”


    Behind him were seven top cardiac specialists.


    Only Mr. McMillian could assemble such an elite team in such a short time!


    “Phillip’s condition has worsened. We have barely managed to control his pneumonia, and now he’s


    showing signs of heart failure.” Dr. Greg stepped aside respectfully. “Today’s examination revealed that


    Phillip has prosthetic valve infective endocarditis and perivalvr leakage…”


    “Who’s she?” Romeo’s gaze fell on Arabe, his eyes cold and indifferent.


    She was wearing a medical mask, with only her bright eyes peeking out. You could tell, that she was


    just a kid in her teens.


    “She, she is…” Dr. Greg’s heart was racing just looking at her. If he let the cat out of the bag, would he


    even see tomorrow’s


    sunrise?


    Meanwhile, his assistant Carl couldn’t hold back his rage. “How the hell could the hospital hire a doctor


    this young? On the way here, I heard some high school kid wanted to operate on Phillip McMillian. Is


    this her? Has Hope Hospital gonepletely bonkers? So as long as you’ve got the guts, you can just


    go ahead and operate on Phillip, regardless of whether you’re qualified or experienced enough? I think


    you’ve all lost your marbles!”


    “Carl, it’s not like that.” Dr. Greg was so scared he was shaking in his boots, unable to utter a single


    word of exnation.


    Every doctor in the observation room was freaked out, not knowing what to do.
