Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 416

"But our doctors made a mistake. We misdiagnosed him. We will accept whatever demands for compensation you have."

This was a disaster. His position as hospital director was definitely on the line.

Vincent looked at Stella. "What do you think we should do?"

He was amazed that this young woman had pinpointed the core issue so effortlessly.

Stella thought for a moment. "Uncle Vincent, handle the hospital's negligence however you see fit. But I want to transfer Grandpa to the Blackwood family's Brighton Hospital. I am fully confident I can cure him."

She had a good impression of Brighton Hospital and trusted their facilities.

The Vaughn estate was quite far from Brighton, which was likely why he hadn't been admitted there originally.

Zimmerman was stunned. He had assumed the old man was already dead.

Hadn't Dr. Jordan said he wouldn't survive the next twenty-four hours?

And now this girl was saying she had full confidence in a cure?

Dr. Jordan was their foremost oncology expert. If he said it was hopeless, what was going on here?

Had Dr. Jordan misdiagnosed him too?

He glanced covertly at Dr. Jordan, only to find the specialist staring at Stella with burning intensity.

The patient had been at death's door, and she claimed she could save him?

Could he tag along to observe and learn?

This was an unprecedented learning opportunity, and he wasn't going to let it slip away.

When Stella didn't respond, he quickly added, "You need assistants anyway, so why not take me? Our hospital misdiagnosed him, so please, let me do my part to make amends on our behalf."

"Yes, exactly!" Director Zimmerman agreed hastily. "Dr. Jordan is right. Please let him assist you."

He prayed that Dr. Jordan's earnest offer might soften Vincent's impending wrath.

Stella saw right through Dr. Jordan's eager expression. He just wanted to watch her operate.

While his logic made sense—he knew the patient's history best—she refused him.

"That won't be necessary. Brighton Hospital has its own specialists. Plus, I've reviewed every single treatment protocol you've used. Right now, I understand his condition far better than you do."
