Chapter 152
Amelie sat wearily on a chair in the office with her eyes closed.
Even so, her mind wasn’t blank as her rapid-fire thoughts screamed beneath her lids. Instead, her mind was busy thinking about all the things that had happened recently.
Suddenly, her phone rang, causing her to jerk out of her thoughts.
She snapped her eyes open and saw it was an unknown number.
Amelie frowned slightly and simply took it as a scam call. So, she didn’t answer it right away.
However, the caller rang Amelie up again. It was obvious that the caller had set their mind to looking for her.
She was left with no choice, so she tapped on the answer button and took the call.
“Hello, may I speak to Miss Dillon?” A polite voice belonging to a middle-aged man sounded on the other end.
“This is she. May I know whom I have the pleasure of speaking with?” Amelie couldn’t help asking as she listened to the highly unfamiliar voice.
“I’m Mr. Zachary-Zachary Satterlund,” replied the person on the other end of the phone.
The name Zachary Satterlund left Amelie in a trance for a long while. So many incidents that took place in the past flashed through her mind like it was projecting a movie.
“Mr. Zachary,” she quickly addressed in a respectful tone. Her body also straightened as she greeted, “Hello.”
Amelie had a special bond with Zachary. In fact, he even saved her life before.
He let out a gentle chuckle before he said, “It’s fortunate that you still remember me. Actually, I’m calling you today because I have something that I need your help with.”
“What is it? Feel free to tell me.” Amelie didn’t hesitate to agree with Zachary’s request.
Zachary pondered briefly. “The situation is like this. I recently returned to Capland to give a talk and I need some special surgical cases to stand in during my speech. You are the only case I have encountered for corneal exfoliation surgery in‘living donors and also the first patient who suffered from a severe infection that I had saved. Hence, I hope to name you as an example of analysis for my students who are passionate about the medical field. Is it alright for you to work with me for an eye and psychological examination? Of course, you can decline if that makes you uncomfortable.”
“When is it?” Amelie didn’t turn him down.
Initially, I wanted to ask for Mr. Zachary’s help to excise my cornea, but he disagreed. What was more, he was the one who incessantly dissuaded me among those who opposed me from proceeding with the surgery. Still, although he opposed me back then, he was also the one who never forsaken me. He even brought me back when I suffered from an infection at a later stage. Since I did sign a medical liability waiver, Mr. Zachary could totally disregard me under such circumstances. Considering his kindness toward me in the past, there’s no way I won’t heln him with even such a small favor In truth I have naid attention to undates related to Me
brilliant medical skills are quite popular abroad. Today, he is an important director at a leading medical institution. He still works as a medical professor at the university and has contributed to countless
achievements.
Zachary was delighted when he heard her silent agreement when she asked for the meet-up time instead of turning him down. Therefore, he quickly replied, “Meet me at Jittan Hospital at 9.00AM two days later. We can change the time if you’re not available.”
“That won’t be necessary.” Amelie smiled. “I will be there on time.”
“You have my sincere thanks.” Unfortunately, due to his practical nature, he wasn’t really good at pleasantries. Therefore, he just expressed his gratitude with an earnest demeanor.
Amelie pursed her lips. “It’s nothing. You don’t have to thank me. Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking you for saving my life all those years ago.”
