Chapter 269

The reason Regina was willing to pay Melody 40 million dollars so readily was that she insisted Melody couldn’t say she was the one who saved Lucas after Melody had accepted the money.

It was a good deal to trade 40 million dollars for a chance for her to join the Morgan research team was an excellent deal. With that in mind, a smile appeared on Regina’s face. She said leisurely: You can go and check how many years you’ll be sentenced to for such a large sum of blackmail.

Melody raised her eyebrows. Regina was not stupid. She knew how to use it to threaten Melody. However, Melody didn’t care. It didn’t matter to her who saved the life. The important thing was that nothing could happen to the patient. It was that Melody had met Lucas. Moreover, she had performed his first operation. Melody would feel bad if anything happened to Lucas.

Therefore, Melody would still do her best to operate on Lucas even if Regina did not give her 40 million dollars. Melody could not be bothered to argue with Regina. She said seriously: I will operate, but you must cooperate with me during the process.

I’ll even without you telling me. Let’s get started! Regina urged impatiently.

Melody pursed her lips and did not say anything else. She began to prepare for the operation.

Previously, Melody dared to bet with James because she saw Lucas’s spleen was also damaged when she operated on him.

However, Lucas’s heart condition was too bad at that time, so Melody could only deal with his heart first. Lucas’s damaged spleen happened to be close to his damaged heart. One who had not participated in the heart operation could not perform the spleen operation at all.

Since Regina had taken Melody’s credit, the hospital would let Regina participate in the operation. As long as Regina did not want her matter to be leaked, she would certainly come to Melody.

Soon the preparation for the operation was complete. Melody officially began the operation after communicating with the anesthetist.

Scalpel… Hemostatic forceps… Medical scissors… Melody methodically asked Regina for surgical items.

At first, Regina was quite cooperative. However, she became angry and complained. Do you think I am your servant? These things are right here. Can’t you get them yourself?

Melody frowned and stared at Regina coldly.

Is this what you meant by cooperation? Melody asked.

Regina retorted unhappily; I’m telling the truth. Don’t you have hands? Can’t you take it yourself? Don’t think you’re so great just because you know how to operate. I’m not going to serve you. I didn’t spend 40 million dollars to hire you to order me around! Then, Regina did not want to do it. She pulled a chair over and sat down.

Melody was so angry that she laughed.

Don’t you know this is what the assistants are supposed to do? Do you want me to touch the patient’s internal organs while touching the items on the table? Can’t you have some basic knowledge?

Without looking up, Regina said: I study traditional medicine, not your trifling operations skills. Anyway, I don’t care. Hurry up and continue the operation!

You…

Even the anesthetist, bribed by Regina, could not stand to watch the scene. He stepped up and said: Miss, let me help you.

Melody took a deep breath. She knew it was not the time to quarrel with Regina. Melody could only suppress her anger and continue the operation with the anesthetist’s cooperation.

Regina, sitting on the chair, was happy and relaxed. After taking the gloves off, Regina took out her phone and texted Jennie.

She hadn’t dared to tell Jennie, her mother that she hadn’t bought Draba last night. Now that she was about to make a huge contribution, it was time to tell Jennie.

She believed Jennie would not blame her.

Soon, she finished editing a large paragraph of text, highlighting the promise Ander had made to her.

Jennie replied not long after.

[you can’t even do such a small thing!] [Forget it, I’ll find time to personally go overseas to buy Draba.] [By the way, are you sure the person you found can save Lucas? Nothing can go wrong with the research team! You can’t let Ander know you weren’t the one who saved Lucas.]

Regina knew from the reply that Jennie was not angry with her.

Ander’s favor was much more important than the Draba.

She quickly replied. [Lucas’s first operation was performed by the person I hired, so there shouldn’t be any problems. I have sealed her mouth with the money I used to buy Draba. She dare not speak out.]

After receiving the message, Jennie heaved a sigh of relief and replied: [That’s good. I’m going to meet the people from Silk Beauty Cosmetics soon. Then, I’ll go straight to the Insterimond Central Hospital to look for you.]

[Okay, Mom.]

Regina was in a great mood after replying.

It seems that things are going well on Mom’s side. Mom and I will soon have Icy Clear Cosmetics. I can foresee the pharmaceutical makeup market in Halcyon will belong to us.

Regina’s face, hidden behind a mask, smiled smugly when she thought about that. She glanced in the direction of Melody. Upon seeing the operation was still ongoing… Bored, she turned on her mobile game and fought hard in the canyon of the game.

Meanwhile, Melody was also doing her best on the operating table.

The operation lasted for more than three hours.

When Melody finished the last stitch, her vision blurred after a day without food.

However, she still forced herself to take out the acupuncture bag that she carried with her and seriously placed a needle on Lucas.

Finally, Melody fainted and collapsed on the ground after completing the operation.

Miss! Are you alright? The anesthetist quickly went over to support Melody, but he saw Melody had fainted. He quickly turned to Regina for help.

Miss Sterling, please come and give me a hand. Let’s help her out…

What a bother! Regina turned off the game and walked to Melody. Then, she asked the anesthetist, how’s the operation going?

It went smoothly, the anesthetist replied. Then he repeated, Miss Sterling, please help me carry her…

It’s just an operation. How useless! Regina complained as she carried Melody. Regina wouldn’t care about Melody’s life or death if it weren’t for the fact that Melody had fainted here and Regina couldn’t explain it. Upon seeing Melody’s ugly face right before here, Regina squatted with a disgusted look and carried Melody onto the stretcher with the anesthetist.

After Melody lay on the stretcher, she regained her consciousness for a moment and weakly reminded Regina, who was closest to her.

The needle on his body must be removed in 10 minutes.

Then Melody’s vision blurred again, and she fainted.

You’re such a slob!

Regina cursed and told the anesthetist to push Melody out of the operating room through the other passage. Then, she deliberately pretended to be weak and staggered to open the main door of the operating room.

As soon as the door opened, Ander and Zoe immediately came forward to ask about Lucas’s condition.

Regina, how’s Lucas?

Regina, how’s Lucas’s condition?

Rodney was also anxious because he was not in the operating room. He was worried about the situation inside.

However, it was inappropriate for him to squeeze in front of Ander and Zoe to ask, so he could only ask Regina with his eyes.

Regina opened her mouth. Suddenly she closed her eyes and fell to the ground…
