Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 52

Hearing this, Xavier couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort. "Tessa, stop crying. You haven't slept all night. Take this time to get some rest."

Tessa breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. It seemed the situation wasn't too bad yet.

Half an hour later, the sky grew faintly bright.

Willow was completely soaked in sweat, but Asher's condition was finally stabilized.

She walked out of the operating room, exhausted. Leo was the first to approach her. "How is the situation?"

Willow's voice was hoarse. "His condition is stable. He just needs to be observed for twenty-four hours."

Tessa's voice choked with sobs again. "Thank God he's okay, otherwise I would never forgive myself."

Willow shot her a sarcastic look, but at that moment, her body was simply too exhausted to say another word.

Tessa, however, didn't stop. She spoke with a hint of disappointment, "Willow, you and Dr. Sterling really have a great relationship. She was actually willing to let you assist in such a major surgery. Unlike me, who isn't liked by anyone..."

This sentence practically forced all of Willow's credit onto Adelina, implying that Tessa's surgery only failed because she wasn't "liked."

Willow scoffed. Before she could even speak, Adelina, who had just walked out of the operating room, couldn't hold back. "Don't pin all the high praise on me. I already said I was powerless in this surgery. The lead surgeon was Willow. I won't take a sliver of this credit!"

Tessa was so furious she almost passed out. Did this woman have no brains? If she had claimed the credit, saving Asher would have been enough to get her promoted!

A great opportunity was handed to her on a silver platter, and she didn't even know how to take it. No wonder she had been stuck in the same position for so many years!

Adelina rolled her eyes at Tessa, then turned to Willow. "Willow, go catch up on some sleep first, or your body won't be able to handle it. But once you've rested enough, you'll need to keep a close eye on the patient during this twenty-four-hour observation period... I'm a little overwhelmed right now."
