As Janice listened, her heart was blooming with joy.
“Alright, Ill head back now,” Ewan said, planting a kiss on her check.
Janice caressed her belly and walked to the door to see him off, tender and affectionate like a wife.
Once Ewan had left, Janice closed the door, and the affectionate smile vanished instantly, replaced by a greedy and harsh expression.
She picked up her phone and dialed the obstetrician’s number. “Doctor, when can I schedule a cesarean section for my child?
“Miss Gibbs, I’ve already told you for the health of the child, we need to wait at least seven months. Otherwise, the child may not develop properly. leading to poor health and even life–threatening risks, the doctor explained.
Janice but had no choice but to agree. “Fine, schedule the C–section for when I’m seven months along. Make sure the surgery is booked”
What the Berry family wanted was a healthy son; otherwise, everything would be for night.
She needed the child to be born as quickly as possible; it was her ticket into the Berry family.
Born into an ordinary family, she had become a model thanks to her exceptional looks, but without money or connections, she had to accept the unspoken rules to secure resources in this industry.
The best case scenario was finding a sugar daddy, boosting her fame, finding another sugar daddy, and if luck was on her side, snagging a decent tycoon, and that would be considered a successful
life. Yet among those who struggled in this circle, only one in a hundred might achieve that
Fortunately, she got good luck, catching the eye of Ewan, no ordinary tycoon but the foremost scion of the first farmaly in Vaporleon City, and she got pregnant with his son.
The Berry family had only two young girls, one was mistreated by her stepmother, and the other caused a scene at her grandpa’s birthday party.
Upon the birth of Janice’s son, the Berry family would certainly not allow the child to be cast out. Ewan had already promised her that he would divorce and marry her
By then, she would become the first lady of Vaporicon Cay. The old woman, Matilda, would have to step aside.
It was the last class of the day At Vaporleon High School, less than half an hour before dismissal.
Lea felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Upon checking, she saw a message from Lorand Phoenix about a surgical task, a craniotomy and a heart transplant
Fach of both surgeries alone was highly difficult with fewer than fifty doctors nationwide capable of performing them. However, combined, no one dared to attempt.
–
After arranging for Lorrand to assist Charles, she had inquired about It is connections in the industry, they had a professional network of specialists. in heart and brain surgeries, revered like saviors in the field.
If she could make a name for herself in this circle, she’d have smooth sailing in the medical world.
Furthermore, they often shared such high–difficulty surgeries. If they couldn’t handle one, they’d seek help from others, benefiting mutually,
This was a chance to quickly gain fame and fortune. Lea needed it, so she asked Lorrand to keep an eye out. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
No one but her could perform this surgery now
So, Lorrand sent her the message. [The patient is at Fraley Hospital, a high–ranking official. His attending physician is Nixon Donovan. Forget it. don’t go 111 find another one for you later]
Nixon was ruthless, with no principles or morals. Lorrand didn’t want Lea, a young girl, to have any contact with such a person
Lea only replied with just two words, [I’ll go.]
Since no one else could perform sach a surgery, this was her best chance to make a name for herself. Coincidentally, she was racking her brains for a chance to meet Nixon and find out about his relationship with Matilda.
She sent Lorrand another message, asking him to prepare some things and pick her up after school.

After school, she arrived at the back gate of the school, where Lorrand was already waiting in his car.
He was now working with Charles, having performed several heart surgeries and earning a decent income.
His daughter was recuperating in the hospital, benefiting from newly developed medication, and her health was improving rapidly
Confident and ambitious now, he had groomed himself well, looking five years younger, poised and handsome.
Lea got into the car, heading to the hospital.
“Here’s the medical record, sent over from Fraley Hospital. If you’re not confident, we won’t go Lorrand said.
The
surgery fee offered was 5 million dollars, and if successful, not only would she earn the money, but everyone in the industry would know her
name.
In the future, both domestically and internationally, people would come to her for such surgeries.
“Nixon agreed to take on this patient because the high–ranking official has always been looking after him and Fraley Medical, and promises to provide him with more benefits in the future. But he is ruthless, if the surgery fails, he will lay all the blame on you. Not only will you not receive the surgery fee, but you will also lose money, face imprisonment, and in short, all the negative consequences will be pushed onto you,” Lorrand
went on.
While he spoke. Lea had already skimmed through the medical records.
“Did you bring all the medication?” she asked.
“Yes,” Lorrand replied.
Lea opened the package he brought, took out the items inside, and examined the medicine. “The surgery shouldn’t be a problem. With these medicines for recovery, it’s all good”
Hearing her confident speech, Lorrand felt reassured
The car sped up, heading toward the hospital
Lea took out her makeup kit, drew her eyeliner, and outlined a completely different eye shape, then changed into surgical scrubs, complete with cap and mask
Lorrand glanced at her in the mirror and was startled.
Apart from those clear, beautiful deep–set eyes, he couldn’t recognize her at all, even her aura and demeanor had changed.
Time was ticking. Lorrand accelerated the car, arriving at Fraley Hospital in less than twenty minutes.
Stepping out of the car, Lea looked up at the imposing building. The outpatient department was a six–to–seven–story structure, with different departments housed in separate buildings. Five buildings formed an arc, lying in front of him..
Adjacent was the inpatient department, featuring two newly constructed high–rises, one thirty–eight stories and the other forty–eight stories. Behind them were several more buildings, including a
dedicated experimental building and a central park area. These facilities alone have surpassed many well–known hospitals in the country
The land alone was worth tens of billions
After a moment’s pause, Lea stepped into the hospital took the elevator, and headed toward the operating room.
Exiting the elevator and stepping g into the corridor, she saw several doctors and staff in white lab coats waiting, whose faces filled with shock upon
her arrival.
For them, Lea was like a Godorss–the only one who could perform this surg
surgery.
A tall individual approached Lea,
Lea gazed fixedly at him; she had seen him in her past life on the internet and television, and had recently taken the time to look up his information
k revealed a
His features were more pronounced than in photos, his face elongated, initially giving off an aura of artistic elegance. A closer look sombemess in his brow, his eyes glinting with a dark light, occasionally betraying a shadowed dept
At a quick glance, he did bear a slight resemblance to Helen.
Lea couldn’t help but wonder if he was Helen’s biological father,

“You you’re the doctor here to perform the surgery, Dr. Berry” Nixon asked, surprised. The only information he had received in advance it was a Dr. Berry
The person before him only revealed a pair of eyes, but it was clear she was a petite woman, and quite young at that,
He knew the doctor coming wasn’t someone he knew, but he hadn’t expected it to be such a woman
“Let’s begin the surgery,” Lea said, her voice low but commanding respect.
“May I know your name?” Nixon questioned
Lea stared at him in silence
Nixon’s expression changed slightly.
Clearly, Lea had no intention of revealing her identity, otherwise, prople in the circle would already know about her.
“Are you sure about the surgery details!” Nixon asked
“Don’t waste time.” Lea replied coldly, petrifying Nixon for three seconds. He ordered, “Prepare for surgery?”
This surgery was inevitable.
If successful he would gain another powerful ally in Vaporleon City’s upper echelons. If it failed, the blame would fall entirely on this surgeon. He stood to gain no matter the outcome.
Lea disinfected herself, put on sterile surgical attire, and entered the operating room
Nixon, as the attending physician, naturally followed her in.
