Chapter 257

He recalled what he saw in the ward and slowly uttered a response.

“Judging from the equipment in the ward, I suppose it’s cardiac surgery. However, our boss said…”

He paused and looked at everyone present before dropping a bomb.

“Our boss won’t be the one performing the surgery; he’s merely acting as the lady’s assistant.”

‘What?!’ they thought.

Everyone was stunned. They were the best laboratory in San Joto; none of the commercial hospitals could compare to them. Having Rowan as a part of their higherups meant that they were indestructible.

Even so, someone like him still had to be an assistant to that lady!

‘Who is this lady?’ they could not help but wonder. A number of them voiced their doubts, “You’re bluffing! Cardiac surgeries are Level B operations. Whether or not the lady can perform this surgery is a different story. How dare you say that our boss is an assistant to that lady for such a surgery?”

Many of them turned to look at Team B after hearing his words. Since they were practically the best team at their laboratory, it goes without saying that they were remarkably talented. While their team only consisted of four members, all of them were exceptionally skilled at cardiology.

‘Here at our laboratory, only the people in Team A and our boss can boss us around!’ they thought.

The four of them had condescending looks as they stared at the crowd, “Just because she can solve a problem from Team D doesn’t mean that she can perform a Level B surgery!”

The subordinate stared at them as he pictured Nicole’s calm and collected face. Suddenly, he felt confident to stand his ground, “It’s undeniable that Level B surgeries are of great difficulty. However, I’m certain that she can do it!”

‘She’s good; everything she says is unimaginably insightful. She even explained the perplexing questions in my research succinctly and thoroughly. Someone like her can’t possibly be unable to perform a Level B surgery,’ he thought.

On top of that, the way Rowan treated her made him almost certain that she was a world-class talent in the medical field.

The members of Team B gazed at his confident expression and sneered. They then said mockingly, “In that case, she must be a renowned talent in San Joto, or maybe even internationally. Why don’t you tell us her name so that we can revere this person?”

“This…’ he thought.

The subordinate’s mind went blank. He recalled asking for her name, but she dodged his question.

Cold beads of sweat started forming on his head.

Many gave him sardonic gazes. Everyone knew what his expression meant. They shook their heads and dispersed; no one wanted to listen to his nonsense.

However, the members of Team B stayed. They were looking at him disdainfully, “Well? Did this skilled person not dare to reveal their name? Talk about being in Team D. Why don’t you go home and clean that brain of yours? Otherwise, how are you going to continue doing research.”

They said before returning to their team’s designated location arrogantly.

Nicole was upstairs, so she did not hear their conversation. She was currently having a cup of joe that Rowan made. Suddenly, she froze.

Rowan’s coffee brewing skills have deteriorated,’ she thought. She remembered clearly that he made great coffee back when they were at Elendora. What Nicole was not aware of was that Rowan’s coffee brewing skills did not deteriorate , but her standards in coffee had been unknowingly raised by a certain someone.
