Chapter 268

Melody sent the recording directly to James on her way.

She had won the bet.

Soon, James called.

He said indignantly: It’s just a recording. Who knows if you got someone to fake it so wouldn’t divorce Ken?

You can come to the central hospital now if you don’t believe me. We’ll meet at the entrance of the Insterimond Hospital, Melody said with a frown.

Alright! James agreed without hesitation. He didn’t give up. At the same time, Insterimond Central Hospital.

Regina tried to buy time.

She had originally decided not to participate in the operation and would disappear that day. However, Regina did not expect Lucas’s condition to become serious suddenly when she coincidentally came to the hospital to visit Lucas today and confirmed with the Morgan couple about joining the research team.

The time for Lucas’s second operation had been advanced, and Regina was put on the spot…

Regina would not have come to the hospital to visit Lucas today if she had known it would happen. Regina finally got a text from Melody after her delay.

Melody was already downstairs.

Regina heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door.

When the doctor saw Regina coming out, he hurriedly rushed up and said: You’re finally out! Let’s enter the operating room quickly.

Not yet, Regina said, feigning profoundness. I’ve never worked with any of you on an operation before. I was afraid there’d be a problem with the coordination. So I got one of my assistants. She’s already downstairs and will be up soon.

The doctor could only nod.

Coincidentally, the Morgan couple also came over to ask because the operation had not started for a long time. Regina repeated her words.

Ander nodded solemnly. Alright! we’ll wait for your assistant. There can’t be any mistakes in Lucas’s operation.

Well… Regina said at the right time, When can my mother and I join your team?

Ander looked at Regina with a complicated expression.

He did not like the people with a clear purpose, but Regina saved his son’s life. At the moment, she was the only one who could save Lucas. Thinking of that, Ander suppressed the displeasure in his eyes and said: I’ll start the process immediately when the operation is over.

Thank you so much! Regina replied. There were hurried footsteps down the corridor just as Regina finished her words.

Regina looked up and saw it was Melody.

However, someone was behind her. Regina took a closer look. Isn’t it James who had brought Melody into the auctions? Why is James here, too…? Regina thought.

Regina was afraid that her lie would be exposed, so she took a few steps forward without saying a word and dragged Melody to the changing area.

When they passed Ander and Zue, Regina said: We’re going to change into surgical gowns and start preparing for the operation. As for the unrelated people… please leave.

Unrelated people, of course, she referred to James.

Ander responded and said to James, Sir, I’m sorry. Can you wait downstairs? The operation is about to begin. It needs absolute silence.

James had confirmed that he had lost the bet.

Fortunately, the bet was only to take Janet to the hospital for a checkup. It was not difficult at all.

However, it was his first time to be chased out like that. He could not help but say with a gloomy expression, I’m an unrelated person? Is this how you treat the friend of your son’s savior?

Ander, who did not know James, sneered inwardly.

Aren’t you just a friend of Regina’s assistant? An assistant claimed to be my son’s savior? Young people nowadays are getting more and more conceited! Ander thought.

Ander’s face darkened, and he was about to fly into a rage, but Zoe beside him hurriedly tugged at Ander’s sleeve. Stop talking. Our son is still waiting for the operation!

Then, Ander suppressed the anger in his heart.

Zoe smiled and said, Sir. There are no seats in the corridor. Why don’t I take you to the opposite side of the hospital for a cup of coffee?

James saw Zoe’s attitude was right. He pursed his lips and said: No, thanks. You guys wait here, and I’ll wait outside.

Then, James turned around and left.

Regina heaved a sigh of relief when she saw James leave. She pulled Melody into the changing room.

The changing room was connected to the operation room. After changing into sterile clothes, Regina and Melody walked into the operating room one after another.

On the way, Regina deliberately asked: How many assistants do you need for the operation? Can I be the only one?

She did not want the most talkative doctor to tell others that she could not operate at all…

Melody frowned. It’s enough, but the anesthetist can’t leave.

The anesthesiologist monitored the patient’s condition in real-time throughout the procedure in addition to administering anesthesia to the patient. The anesthesiologist was important in the operation team, but many people did not know that.

Okay! Regina quickly nodded.

He is just an anesthetist. I can tell him to shut up. I only need to ask the nurses and doctors to leave. It was only a dozen yards away, and Regina and Melody quickly arrived at the operating room.

Regina said: Other than the anesthetist, everyone else can leave now. To undergo the operation, it is important to ensure absolute quietness. We three here are enough.

The attending doctor could now help but say, Can you three do it?

Why don’t I stay?

How can you stay? Then wouldn’t the matter be exposed? Regina thought.

Regina thought so inwardly. However, she pretended to be serious and said: Dr. Stanton, don’t you want the patient to finish the operation quickly? I’ve said it. Three people are enough. You can’t help much here. I don’t feel comfortable with you here.

Rodney was a serious and complicated man. He dared not say anything else when he heard Regina’s words. Then, he left the operating room with the other nurses.

After Rodney came out, Ander could not help but ask in confusion, Dr. Stanton, why did you come out?

Rodney said ashamedly: Dr. Sterling said I can’t help much inside. I might as well wait outside. But I felt Dr. Sterling’s technique was superb last time. I believe she can do it.

Ander felt that something was wrong.

The operating room needs absolute quietness, but having an old doctor like Dr. Stanton in it can only be beneficial. Why does Regina let him out? Is Regina confident, or are there other reasons? Thought Ander. However, Ander quickly stopped thinking about it. As long as the results were good, it did not matter if Rodney was around.

Regina heaved a sigh of relief inside the operating room when she saw Rodney and the others leave. Then she walked to the anesthesiologist.

After some communication, the anesthetist successfully became Regina’s subordinate.

All the people who would reveal her secret were no longer around. She would still be Lucas’s only savior.

However, Regina saw Melody looking at her deeply when she turned around. Melody’s gaze was bright and sharp as if she could see through the secrets in Regina’s heart at a glance. Regina suddenly felt guilty and forced herself to ask: Why are you staring at me? You took my 40 million dollars. Aren’t you going to start the operation?

Melody said with a half-smile, Regina, there’s so such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world.

Regina knew Melody had seen through her plan when she heard that.

She gritted her teeth and warned, You took my money, so you can’t take the credit. Otherwise, I can sue you for extortion. The 40 million dollar transfer is evidence!
