Chapter 1047
“Is there something wrong with your knees? Why do you people drop to the floor at the slightest provocation?” Calliope said, exasperated. “I can’t just walk in and perform surgery whenever I please. I’m not his attending physician, and this isn’t my hospital p>
“How can you expect to operate in someone else’s hospital without following any proper procedures?” she added, shaking her head. “Surely they’ve got their own protocols p>
“They’ll make an exception for you, Ms. Jewell!” one of the doctors chimed in eagerly. “That’s right-The Miracle Doctor! Our director is always talking about your skills. He absolutely adores you p>
“I’ll get the director right away p>
It was obvious the doctors wanted to see the fabled Miracle Doctor at work just as much as they wanted to save a life. In no time, the hospital director himself was ushered in.
True to form, the director didn’t waste a breath on formalities. “Prep an operating room. Dr. Calliope will lead the surgery,” he ordered without hesitation.
“You really mean it?” Calliope stammered, a little stunned. She only came to observe; now she was being thrust into the role of lead surgeon.
“Miracle Doctor, I trust you implicitly,” the director said with gravitas. “This operation is critical to Mr. Howell’s survival. We need you p>
She originally had no plans to get involved. But seeing how helpless everyone looked, and knowing time was ticking for Nigel, Calliope realized there was no one else for the job.
With a resigned breath, she headed for the operating theater.
Damien arrived a little later, after searching the hospital top to bottom. He finally caught sight of Nigel’s men crowding outside the operating room.
“Where is my wife?” Damien demanded.
“She’s in surgery!” one of Nigel’s men said immediately.
“What?” Damien was taken aback.
“The doctors here all said they couldn’t handle the case. Their skills just weren’t up to it,” another man explained. But Ms Jewell is the Mirade Doctor she’s extraordinary! She agreed to operate, and the director jumped at the chance p>
“She really is an amazing woman,” someone muttered. “She should be with Mr. Howell p>
Whispered conversations spread among Nigel’s entourage they all thought Silas was totally unworthy of Calliope, whereas their own boss was the perfect match for the Miracle Doctor.
Damien overheard and shot them a glare. “Are you kidding me? She’s already married! She has nothing to do with your Mr. Howell p>
“She’s our boss’s savior,” one man insisted. “That means she cares about him! Why else would she keep saving him p>
Damien rolled his eyes. “If we see someone wounded, of course we’ll help. Don’t read into it. It does you no good p>
He silently reminded himself to warn Calliope to keep her distance from Nigel-these guys were starting to get ideas. Still, it was uncanny how she always ended up saving the same man.
Inside the operating room, Calliope was the picture of concentration. The director had assigned his best nurses and senior surgeons to assist, but they could only watch in awe as she worked. She looked so young, but her movements were swift, precise, unfaltering? Many of the techniques she used were things they had struggled for years to master, yet she performed them effortlessly.
“No wonder everyone calls her the Miracle Doctor,” one nurse whispered.
“She’s so young-her hands are rock steady. Unbelievable p>
“How can she possibly be this skilled p>
During a brief pause, a surgeon couldn’t help but ask, “Doctor, I thought traditional medicine wasn’t known for surgery p>
“I trained in both fields,” Calliope replied, calmly continuing her work. “There aren’t many surgeries I can’t handle, unless it’s something truly rare or experimental p>
“Ms. Jewell, you really are remarkable,” someone murmured, full of admiration.
