Right then, a nurse walked over and scolded Sisley. She then turned to Ashlyn and flashed the latter a smile. âArenât you working today, Dr. Berry?â The nurseâs tone was filled with respect.
âMy grandpaâs in the emergency room,â Ashlyn answered with a nod.
âI see. Who are these people who raised their voices, anyway? Such terrible manners.â The nurse glared at Sisley and warned, âOne more time, and youâll be kicked out of the building.â
With that, the nurse bade Ashlyn farewell and left.
Right then, the emergency room door opened with a bang, and a nurse rushed out.
She strode quickly toward Ashlyn and urged, âDr. Berry, you need to get changed and have a look. The patient isâ¦â
Ashlyn frowned with worry. âWhatâs wrong?â
She gazed at the nurse while marching forward.
As she felt that her gown getting in the way she walked, she bent down and ripped off the hem. Just like that, her full-length gown turned into a mini skirt, revealing her long, slender legs. Before she left, she turned around and said to Lucas, âIâm going in to take a look.â
Lucas could not help but raise his brow after seeing her gorgeous legs.
Ashlynâs move earlier was incredible and attractive.
However, he scratched his chin, feeling slightly displeased at the idea of her legs being seen by so many people.
He had the urge to rush forward and wrap his coat around them. Alas, she was already too far away.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn put on a PPE before entering the emergency room with the nurse and approaching the operating table.
âThe patientâs blood pressure keeps dropping, and his heartbeat is slowing down. What should we do now, Dr. Berry?â
Ashlyn explained calmly, âHe mightâve fainted due to a cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction. He needs a head CT or an MRI to find out if thereâs anything wrong with his brain. It might also be caused by a heart attack. I performed bypass surgery on him six months ago. Get the examinations arranged now. Weâll come up with a solution after seeing the results. Inform the other brain surgeons, too. We need to have a consult.â
âGot it.â
Barney and a few brain surgeons were gathered in the meeting room an hour later.
âHe had a bypass surgery six months ago. And now, he has a cerebral infarction. He needs an operation right away.â Ashlyn eyed them calmly.
Barney hesitated momentarily before saying, âWith his current recovery ability, an operation isnât a good idea. After all, heâs rather old.â
âA bypass surgery typically needs to be done at least three months after a cerebral infarction surgery to reduce the risk.â
Ashlyn looked as calm as ever.
Barney sighed. âHopefully, his family will give their consent. This old body of mine is weak, too. Itâs a blessing to live another day at our age.â
âDonât say that, Dr. Hammer,â Ashlyn comforted. âIâll sign the papers,â she added.
âYou?â Barney looked at her in surprise.
âYes. Heâs my grandfather.â With that, Ashlyn stood up and said to all the doctors, âDr. Hendrickson, Dr.
Walker, please assist me in this surgery. Doctors who are interested in watching can enter the operating theater as well.â
Ashlyn had left the meeting room before Barney had even snapped out of his shock.
âHowâs that possible? Dr. Berry is Mr. Chapmanâs granddaughter? How is it I never knew this in the past?â Barney murmured under his breath. After all, he and Bob were close friends.
On top of that, he was the one who let Ashlyn perform the bypass surgery on Bob back then.
This is so odd.
While he was feeling perplexed, he heard his phone ring.
He unlocked it and realized it was Twitter promoting the latest news.
According to the tweet, the charity auction was a success. Many big shots contributed funds to the disaster relief. On top of that, a shocking thing happened.
The host, Hera, auctioned off the Chapman familyâs red jade and an intense feud broke out.
