"The patient is unconscious, battling heart failure. Emergency surgery is the only option now. The donor heart has arrived. We must proceed immediately. Contact the family; I'll administer the cardiac stimulant myself." Casey, standing nearby, let out a dry chuckle, his lips curling with mockery as his gaze flicked to Khloe. "Dr. Ruiz, you should know Khloe's the one who plans on operating on Mr. Sampson. She even invitedto join her.” Orion shot her a frigid look. "Her advice might have been sound, but performing a heart transplant? That's out of the question. Theoretical knowledge is completely different from practical skills. No one could do it—not even you, Casey, with your reputation as a prodigy surgeon. Now, enough of this nonsense; everyone out!" He turned briskly, planning to inform the family, when Khloe's voice rang out again. "A single cardiac stimulant won't save him. Pinning your hopes on meds alone is reckless." When Orion turned back to shoot her a murderous glare, Khloe's gaze met his, unflinching. "Face it, Dr. Ruiz, you're nothing more than a quack." Once again, a stunned silence fell over the room.
All eyes darted between Khloe and Orion, disbelief etched on every face. No one had expected her to speak so brazenly.
Orion's expression darkened, his fury barely contained. "You insolent girl! Do you even hear yourself? If I'm a quack, then what does that make you? What can you do?" Khloe flashed a confident smile, her eyes gleaming with defiance. "I can guarantee the success of the surgery. Can you?" Orion arched an eyebrow, caught off guard by her audacity, before crossing his arms and letting out a derisive snort. "You talk as though this is just a minor procedure, but it isn't! Mr. Sampson's condition is beyond critical. His heart valve is partially necrotic, and there's a malignant tumor dangerously close to his heart. The risks are astronomical! Even the best surgeons wouldn't dare promise success, so what makes you think you can?" "Unlike you, I'm confident I can do it," Khloe declared boldly, her smirk deepening as she met his glare head-on. "If Mr. Sampson undergoes the heart transplant, I can guarantee his full recovery." Updates loaded at g@lOrion's anger flared, his hand twitching as he itched to smack the arrogance right off her face.
How dare she talk so confidently when someone's life was at stake? “This isn't sexperiment for you to play hero. The surgery requires exceptional skill-skills that a mere auditor like you can't even dream of. You're not just overestimating yourself; you're risking the reputation of the entire medical school with your reckless behavior! No one can guarantee a 100% success rate, not even the most experienced surgeons." Khloe stepped toward him, her heel clicking against the tiled floor with sharp finality.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Since you admit you can't make any promises, why not letshoulder all the risk? I can sign a disclaimer if that's what you're worried about. That way, if anything goes wrong, I can take the blame. But if I succeed, the school's nwill resound across the country. Unless, of course, you're afraid of being overshadowed by someone you claim is incompetent." Her words struck Orion like a bolt of lightning. Khloe had hit a sore spot.
He wasn't afraid of her success.
Rather, he was worried ried about the risk of an incident occurring on his watch; if something went wrong, he would bear the brunt of the blame.
Now that Khloe proposed she shoulder all the risk, Orion scoffed scoffed loudly, attempting to mask his inner turmoil. Reckless fool! If you're so eager to humiliate yourself, I won't stop you!"
