Chapter 158 Legendary Deft Hands
âDo you not know who Dr. Gullifer is, Mrs. Laird? I thought I told you Dr. Gullifer might be able to
heal Mr. Mason's leg,â the attending physician exclaimed.Constance froze right there. Little did she
know that the man she had looked down on was the mysterious Dr. Gullifer.âAnd what about the
girl? That girl is probably just eighteen years old, so why is she standing next to him? How could she
wear the surgical gown and follow him into the operating room?â Constance refused to believe
what she had heard. That man is not Dr. Gullifer. Dr. Gullifer is a medical genius from Chanaea. Why
would he associate himself with a teenage girl?The attending physician actually did not know much
about Sophie.âl have to go in now, Mrs. Laird. The director has granted me access to the operating
room, so I must take this opportunity to learn from Dr. Gullifer!â The attending physician could not
hide his excitement. All doctors, including myself, want to witness how Chanaeaâs best surgeon
conducts the medical procedure! It's a dream come true for melThe attending physician was given
this once-in-a-lifetime chance merely because the director owed him a favor. Otherwise, the
director would not have granted him exclusive access to the operating room.So instead of wasting
time talking to Constance and letting the opportunity slip away, he caught up with
Arius.Constanceâs legs weakened after she heard that, and she staggered a couple of times, only
managing to steady herself by clinging to the railing next to her.She knew she had offended
Arius. Would Dr. Gullifer still help us?Despite learning the truth about Arius, Constance refused to
leave. She wanted to be there for Mason since there would be a high chance of him regaining the
ability to walk.She would do anything for Arius so long as he was willing to operate on Mason. I'll
even drop to my knees before him if he wants me to! I'll do anything as long as he can heal my
son's leg!Constance was overwhelmed by mixed emotions. The doctor she had been hunting high
and low for had finally appeared, but he turned out to be the man she had offended.It was a hard
pill to swallow.While Sophie and Arius were in the operating room, the rest of the people could only
watch the live stream of the procedure from another room.Sophie glanced at Arius when she saw
no other surgeons and nurses in the operating room.âLooks like you have a lot of faith in me, huh?â
Sophie said. She was concerned since the man lying on the operating table was a high-ranking
official, and his survival would affect the life and death of many people. Arius chuckled while putting
on a pair of surgical gloves. âIn this world, you're the only one I trust. There would be no one else I
could count on if I had zero faith in you."Many doctors and nurses were willing to assist him, but
Arius had a much higher expectation of his assistant since it was an intricate surgery.After much
deliberation, Arius thought Sophie was the only one qualified to perform this procedure with
him!âArius, people would think you're putting the patient at risk.â Sophie might be familiar with the
surgery, but she had neither received formal training in medical school nor obtained any
certificates.âDo you think I care about what others would say? I have confidence in you, Sophie. And
I believe you will one day supersede me and become the best surgeon. Being the top surgeon in the
country can be quite lonely, and I think it's time for you to take over the title. What do you
think?"His remark rendered Sophie speechless.More than twenty doctors overheard their
conversation outside, and their mouths twitched. Why does he think so highly of that young lady?
All of them expressed interest in training under Arius, yet the genius doctor ignored them and gave
preferential treatment to this eighteen-year-old. What logic is this?"What if Dr. Gullifer made a
wrong judgment about her? She's just a young lady. Can she actually do this?"They were all
experienced doctors who had carried out hundreds of medical procedures. Are we no match for this
teenage girl?One of the doctors turned to the director and raised his concern. âCan we trust this
young lady? The person lying on the operating table is not an ordinary patient...âIf anything goes
south, everyone in the hospital will be in deep trouble. All these doctors had worked hard
throughout their careers to get to where they were. Our careers will be over if the surgery fails! We
can't allow this to happen!The director, who sat in the middle, kept mum and did not respond to the
doctorsâ concerns.âKeep quiet. The surgery is about to start.â The director had faith in Arius. He
believed his most competent disciple would surpass his own achievements.Likewise, the director
dared not underestimate Sophie too. After all, Arius was the one who brought her to the
hospital. Arius might seem unreliable, but he would not take any surgeries lightly. Moreover, he
would also meticulously explore all the options before making the best decision on a medical
procedure.Since Arius requested Sophie to join him in the operating room, the director had high
hopes for the young lady.âBut they might put our future in jeopardy!â There were still doctors who
were not willing to accept the fact that Arius was better than them. The doctor who made that
remark felt that the Chanaeans had over-glorified Arius. We know he made it into the international
medical association. So what? What's the big deal?âOh, shut up! Why don't you take over if you
think Arius canât do it? The man lying on the operating table was initially your patient anyway!" The
doctor immediately kept mum.âThose who want to watch the procedure, zip it. Those who aren't
interested, feel free to leave right now.â The director shot daggers at the doctors. It took me some
time to bring Arius over and arrange this live demonstration for them, yet all they do is complain!As
soon as the surgery began, the doctors who doubted Arius were stunned the moment he made a
perfect incision on the patient's body. He indeed has a pair of deft hands that work wonders!While
everyone was still astonished by the demonstration, Sophie had also made a flawless surgical
incision in the patient's heart under Ariusâ guidance. All the experts could not help but gasp when
they saw what she had done.âHere. Make an incision here,â Arius instructed. Taking a glance at the
spot he pointed, Sophie made another precise cut."Oh, my God! My eyes aren't playing tricks on
me, are they?â At first, these doctors thought Arius merely brought this young lady into the
operating room because he wanted to impress her, but when she made the incision, they were
taken aback by Sophie's skills.The director, too, could not believe his eyes.As a mentor who had
poured his heart and soul into the medical field and guided countless young doctors, the director
had learned a lot just from watching them carry out the procedure in the operating room.He was so
thrilled that his hands started shaking, losing control of his emotions.The doctor who had doubted
Arius earlier was also utterly struck dumb by how well they performed the surgery.The success rate
of this surgery was less than one percent, yet at this point, everyone was confident that the
procedure would be a huge success!âThis Arius is indeed one of a kind!"âYeah! But don't you think
the young lady is more impressive? She's just a teenager, but her skills are insane. She's just as
capable as Arius.â"l thought so too. Who is she? I guess the Chanaean medical field is about to
witness the rise of an emerging star.â
