A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 858
As the best general surgeon in Rocher Private Hospital, Queenie was appointed the lead surgeon of Harvey‘s operation.
Initially, Queenie had refused to operate after seeing the severity of Harvey‘s injuries. The risks were far too high, and she did not wish to mar her perfect record.
After finding out that the patient was Harvey Jupiter, however, Queenie changed her mind and agreed to lead the operation.
Despite the risks, success would surely propel Queenie into a lucrative promotion.
Queenie regretted her enthusiasm once she found herself in the operating theater.
Harvey‘s injuries were far more severe than she had imagined. He had six bullet wounds, one of which had punctured the right side of his heart.
If he had arrived at the hospital just half an hour later, he would have died.
Damn it, why did I bite off more than I could chew?
Meanwhile, Carter was anxiously awaiting Queenie‘s reply. He frowned at her prolonged silence and asked, “I asked you a question. Did you not hear me?”
Queenie snapped out of her trance and uttered apologetically, “I‘m sorry, Mr. Morgan. Mr. Jupiter‘s injuries are so serious that I–I might not be able to save
him.”
“What the heck are you saying? Didn‘t you guarantee that you would save him?”
A vein throbbed angrily on Carter‘s forehead. I would‘ve punched the lights out of her right now if she was a man!
Queenie was taken aback at his uncharacteristic outburst.
Paling, she stammered, “I–I‘m sorry, Mr. Morgan. I didn‘t have the CT scan results back then, so I didn‘t know there was a bullet in his heart. I must say, though, that Mr. Jupiter has a strong fighting spirit. The average patient would‘ve died-”
“Shut up!” Carter cut in. “I don’t care what the hell you need to do, but you better save his life!”
