Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 507

Hearing the question, Sienna raised a hand in a polite 'hold on' gesture.

"The patient's condition has stabilized for now," she said smoothly. "The indicators for acute organ failure have dropped, and his psychiatric symptoms have been suppressed.

"What we need next is someone to perform a bile duct anastomosis. It's a minor procedure—just takes a few minutes."

She turned her head to look at Celeste.

"Dr. Vaughan." An elegant smile played on Sienna's lips. "You just demonstrated a highly complex surgery today and took home such a prestigious award. Handling this closing step should be no problem for you."

She paused, adding, "I've already used the Cirrus Needles to stabilize the patient's overall state.

"All that's left is connecting a tube. For someone of your caliber, it should be effortless.

"So many colleagues here are eager to observe and learn from you. Why don't you oblige us and give them a show?"

The moment she finished speaking, voices immediately echoed their agreement.

"Exactly, Dr. Vaughan! Your surgery earlier was spectacular, we couldn't get enough of it!"

"A joint surgery completed by you and Dr. Sloan will undoubtedly make global headlines!"

"Yes, please, Dr. Vaughan, you have to agree to this."

Guided by her words, the entire crowd's attention was now fixed heavily on Celeste.

Celeste's smile instantly froze.

But her reaction time was impeccable. She immediately lifted her right hand, her brow furrowing in slight distress.

"Dr. Sloan, I'm truly sorry. That demonstration surgery took nearly four hours, and I had to maintain intense focus the entire time.

"Now, an old injury in my right wrist is flaring up. It's incredibly sore.

"I'm afraid my hand might shake if I step up to the operating table, and I'd only cause trouble for the patient. You should do it instead."

As she spoke, she raised her right wrist and gave it a slight wave.

Her wrist was pale and slender, fully wrapped in pre-prepared gauze.
