Chapter 669

Queenie was engulfed with an unprecedented feeling of stress and pressure.

Although she had to admit that Arielle’s beauty surpassed hers greatly, she had never been threatened by Arielle.

After all, a mere pretty face was not good enough for Vinson.

However, that assumption was far from the truth.

Queenie was only jolted out from her thoughts when a nurse called out to her.

She slowly turned her gaze to the nurse, who said with a smile, “Dr. Mill, aren’t you overjoyed? Haven’t you always wished to operate a robotic pacemaker yourself? Your opportunity’s here! Doesn’t Mrs.

Southall require it now? Quickly, grab a robotic pacemaker and start the operation.”

The director also walked over and congratulated her. “Congratulations, Queenie. Your dream is going to be fulfilled!”

When Queenie heard that, she calmed down. However, she was soon reminded of how Arielle was the one who donated these pacemakers, and had a mix of emotions.

It was hard for her to accept it.

Determined to calm down and continue with the operation, she breathed deeply.

After all, she should be delighted that she could operate the robotic pacemaker personally.

Since she had missed the opportunity once, she must grasp it this time.

Queenie carried a robotic pacemaker and said to the director, “I’ll go to the emergency room now and handle the procedures later.”

However, he waved his hands dismissively and said, “Go on! You can deal with the procedures after the operation. Saving lives is more important, after all.”

Most of the hospital’s expensive equipment required rounds of approval before they could be used.

However, in the case of extenuating circumstances, the equipment could be used before approval.

Queenie nodded and rushed to the emergency room with the robotic pacemaker, feeling conflicted.

Meanwhile, Henrick was at the entrance.

As he rarely read anything online, he did not know that Arielle had donated the machine.

He kept apologizing. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know anything. I’m very apologetic to the donor. I wish that you and that donor will not be bothered by it.”

With an amused look in his eyes, Carter said, “I don’t know if the donor will be bothered, but I am.”

Henrick’s heart lurched as he asked, “Are you… Are you unwilling to treat my mother?”

Carter shook his head. “I established a hospital to save lives, so I will never give up on any patient.”

Henrick heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great!”

At that moment, Queenie arrived with the robotic pacemaker.

When Henrick spotted what she was holding, he asked anxiously, “Dr. Mill, is this machine going to be used for treating my mother?”

Queenie nodded and said, “There’s still time. You’re lucky that the machine arrived in time.”

“Thank you! Please use it on my mother quickly!”

Queenie mumbled a quick response and was about to head into the emergency room when Carter suddenly said, “Wait a moment.”

She turned around, puzzled. “What’s the matter, Mr. Morgan?”

Carter said lazily, “A payment or an IOU is required before an operation, but he hasn’t paid yet.”

After a slight pause, Queenie replied, “The patient’s family member has already paid for the operation.”

However, Carter shook his head. “I’m not talking about the basic operation fees, but this machine.”

Surprised, Queenie stared at him and reminded, “It has been donated to us for free…”

Since it had been donated, it should be available for the patient’s use free of charge.

“Huh?” Narrowing his eyes, Carter glanced at her. “Can donated items be used free of charge? From today onward, we’ll sell all donated items according to their market price and donate the money to the impoverished.”
