Chapter 730
Serena arched a brow at him.
She didn’t speak, but her expression screamed: Is that a problem?
Suddenly, Douglas remembered what she had said back at the warehouse p>
The Ghost Alliance has a Ghost Doctor who snatches people back from the Reaper.
It finally clicked. His eyes widened in absolute shock as he stared at her.
His niece p>
Don’t tell him she was the Ghost Doctor too p>
How many goddamn secret identities did she have p>
Douglas was completely and utterly dumbfounded.
It took him a long moment to find his voice. “But… but the risks are astronomical. And he’s family. I’m worried p>
No matter how brilliant a surgeon was, operating on family was a golden rule no one broke.
Emotions clouded judgment.
Especially since this was her grandfather.
The fatality rate for this procedure was off the charts.
Even knowing she was the Ghost Doctor, he feared the psychological weight would crush her.
She was a genius, yes.
But she was still just a twenty-year-old girl.
“His body can’t wait.” Serena met Douglas’s gaze, her voice unshakable. “When I operate, there are no risks p>
Looking into her calm, confident eyes, Douglas felt his anxiety melt away.
He was right.
His niece didn’t make promises she couldn’t keep.
She was Demon.
She was the Ghost Doctor.
If she said there were no risks, there were no risks.
Serena continued, “Four more days of the Medicinal Tonic and acupuncture, and we proceed on schedule p>
Dr. Miller and Dr. Baldur exchanged a glance. Remembering how even Mr. White treated her like a revered mentor, they gritted their teeth and nodded.
“Yes, Miss Serena. We’ll have everything prepped exactly to your specifications for you to lead the surgery p>
Serena, Nicholas, and Douglas left the office.
Serena glanced at Douglas. “The Phantom Hornets are finished, but there might be stragglers. Tighten security around the medical center. We can’t afford any distractions p>
Douglas’s eyes darkened. “Understood. I’ll lock this place down tight. You just focus on taking care of your grandparents p>
After checking in on her grandparents in the VIP suite.
Serena and Nicholas returned to their hotel.
As soon as they were gone.
A male nurse in scrubs trailed after Dr. Baldur, kissing up to him.
Silas clearly had a good rapport with the doctor, and Baldur was eating it up.
Mid-flattery, Silas suddenly asked, “With Mr. White out of commission, what’s going to happen to Mr. Vinton’s surgery p>
Before Baldur could answer, Silas exaggeratedly sighed. “Dr. Baldur, your skills are easily on par with Mr. White’s. Since he’s in recovery.. you should be the lead surgeon! You’re the only one in the entire center qualified to do it p>
Dr. Baldur chuckled, waving off the flattery but clearly pleased. “I don’t have the qualifications for this one. The lead surgeon will be Mr. Vinton’s granddaughter. I’m just an assistant p>
Silas’s eyes darted around as he feigned shock. “You’re that skilled, and you’re just assisting p>
Baldur checked his surroundings
and lowered his voice. “Don’t
underestimate her. That young lady is incredible. In just a few words, she resolved a surgical roadmap we had been stuck on for months Honestly even Mr. White was only supposed to be her assistant p>
Silas’s mind raced, though he kept his tone regretful. “What a shame. I was hoping
to witness you perform a miracle p>
Completely won over by Serena, Baldur laughed and waved him off again. “Miss Serena stepping into the OR is the real miracle p>
They chatted for a few more minutes before going their separate ways.
Silas slipped quietly into a restricted stairwell, pulled out a burner phone, and made a call p>
