Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 874

Chapter 874 Something Was Amiss

“Surgery?” Sophie asked.

Dominic hummed in response. “Can you, Sophie? If you can't take this up, I can talk to the other professors.” He felt they were making things difficult for her.

“It's all right. I can handle it,” Sophie replied. It's just surgery, no big deal. I've encountered all sorts of medical scenarios in the medical research center.

“Sophie, we're talking about a matter of life and death here. If you fail, it'll haunt you for the rest of your life,” Dominic warned. This is especially important for anyone pursuing a career in medicine, no matter what people might say.

“I can do this, Mr. Sawyer, don't worry. I'll take this seriously and will never take someone's life lightly,” she responded.

Upon seeing how determined Sophie was, Dominic could only nod in acknowledgment.

Dominic and another professor then drove Sophie to the general hospital. The University of Medicine students, who witnessed that, started discussing it among themselves.

“What's going on? Where is she going? I thought she has another evaluation to sit for in the afternoon?” one of the students asked.

“I know, right? This is so weird. Does anyone know what's happening?”

“No idea, but she's lucky to be driven by the chancellor himself. She can now live the rest of her life without any regrets,” uttered another student. When did the chancellor become so kind to the students?

Simon and Sandra exchanged glances and wondered what was going on. Where are they taking Sophie?

“Simon, do you think something happened?” Sandra's eyes were filled with worry.

Simon shook his head. “I don't know. Let's call Sophie and ask her about it!” Simon immediately took out his phone and dialed her number.

“Sophie, where are you going?” he asked.

She replied, “Don't worry about me. I'm going to take the practical exam. I won't be joining you guys for dinner, so don't wait for me.”

“Are you sure?” Simon asked again. Why does she need to take the exam elsewhere? What on earth is going on?

“I'm fine, really. Don't you have faith in me?” Sophie said.

“All right then. I'm going to hang up now. Call me if you need anything!” Apparently, Simon was still rather worried about her.

Sophie hummed in acknowledgment. She appeared quite relaxed after ending the call.

Dominic could not help but nod in approval upon seeing the expression on her face. That's right. An excellent doctor should always remain calm and composed no matter what happens, as their role requires them to possess strong psychological fortitude.

A doctor must maintain a level head and remain steady no matter what happened during surgery, and Dominic believed Sophie had all of these qualities.

Once Simon hung up the phone, Sandra immediately asked, “Where is she going?”

“She's going to sit for the exam! Let's not worry about her. She'll be all right,” he replied. She's a member of the Chanaean Medical Association. This is just an evaluation. How could she possibly screw up?

“She's going to sit for the exam? What's the exam about?” Sandra asked. Why does she need to go somewhere else to sit for the exam?

Sandra was still haunted by the previous frightening incident where Sophie was taken away.

“All right, calm down. I understand your concern, but worrying about Sophie won't help. I'm sure no one will harm Sophie with Tristan around,” Simon said.

Sandra hummed in response.

Meanwhile, Dominic and Sophie had arrived at the hospital.

Dominic then brought her to meet the lead surgeon for the surgery. This time, Sophie was not required to perform the operation. She just needed to assist from the sidelines.

Nonetheless, Dominic was still understandably worried because of the complexity of the operation.

“Sophie, if you encounter any unexpected situation later, stay calm and don't panic. You're not the lead surgeon this time, so you only need to assist in any way you can,” he said. Those old men were just trying to scare her. They wouldn't simply risk sacrificing a person's life just to get to her.

“You seem more nervous than I do, Mr. Sawyer,” Sophie said. To be honest, I don't feel anything about the surgery. I can even handle it on my own, but I guess I should keep a low profile.

“All right. I'm only nervous because you're the pride of the University of Medicine,” Dominic said.

It had been a long time since the university had such a talented student, and he would not allow anything to go wrong.

“Sophie, I know everyone calls you a genius, but we're talking about an actual surgical procedure here. Once you get in, you just need to observe and learn from Dr. Kinslet and don't do anything crazy. You hear me?” Dominic warned.

“Got it. Mr. Sawyer,” Sophie replied. Don't do anything crazy? They themselves made this crazy arrangement, for goodness sake!

“I have to go in now. We'll talk later!” After changing into a surgical gown, tying her hair, and putting on a scrub cap, Sophie washed her hands.

Suddenly, the lead surgeon, Armand Kinslet, walked in. “You're Sophie Tanner?”

Though Sophie was also wearing a surgical gown, he could tell the young lady had a great figure.

Sophie lifted her head and introduced herself, “Hello, Dr. Kinslet. My name is Sophie Tanner, and I'll be assisting you in this procedure.”

The lead surgeon sized the beautiful young lady up and knitted his brows. “Is this a joke? How could they make such an arrangement? We're dealing with a matter of life and death here!”

Armand was the best surgeon in the general hospital, but he was notorious for having a bad temper. His expression turned grim when he saw that his assistant today was a young lady.

The nurse beside him immediately explained, “Dr. Kinslet, the director made this arrangement.”

“I'll go and talk to him now!” He raised his voice.

“The director has left for Fandar today.” The nurse was aware of Armand's temper, but with the surgery scheduled and the patient in need of urgent medical attention, there was no room for delay.

“But—”

“Don't worry, Dr. Kinslet. I won't cause any trouble,” Sophie assured him as she could tell what he had in mind.

Since Armand had no prior knowledge of her identity, Sophie did not blame him for feeling distrustful toward her.

“All right then. You must listen to me and follow my instructions when we're in the operating room,” said Armand after taking a deep breath. It's pointless to say anything now, as the surgery is about to begin.

Furthermore, there would be nurses assisting him in the operating room as well. One of the nurses had worked with him for years, so he was confident enough to proceed with the surgery.

Armand then led Sophie and two other nurses into the operating room.

Before entering the room, Sophie reviewed the patient's medical record and had a clear idea of the surgery.

Meanwhile, the patient had already been anesthetized and was now lying on the operating table.

“You don't have to do anything later. Just observe from the side.” Armand did not want to put Sophie in a difficult position, and given the critical nature of the procedure, he did not want her to interfere.

“Got it.” Sophie was fine with the arrangement.

Since Armand did not want to involve her, she would simply observe from a distance. The surgery proceeded smoothly, and Sophie merely stood beside him and watched. She did not interrupt or voice her thoughts, as she did not want to affect the lead surgeon. However, as the procedure progressed, Sophie noticed something was amiss.
