Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 503
“How dare you! Lydia is Mr. Jefferson’s fiancée. She gets to decide whether you stay or go,” Aiden snapped.
Dr. Louis realized he’d seriously underestimated her, and now he’d lost the bet too. Shame burned through him, but more than anything, he needed to know who this young woman really was.
“I’ll leave if you want, but can you at least tell me your ranking in the Medical Association?” he asked.
Lydia let out a small laugh. “I don’t really keep up with those rankings, but I think my name’s at the top.”
The moment those words left her mouth, the whole operating room fell into a stunned silence. Two whole minutes ticked by before anyone managed to process what she’d said. It was only when Lydia started Connor’s IV and hooked up the monitors herself that reality seemed to snap back into place.
First. She said she was ranked first. Wasn’t that… Miracle Hands? The Miracle Hands everyone talked about?
No way. Had they really just watched Miracle Hands perform surgery right in front of them?
But all they could remember was how fast she’d worked, like someone had pressed fast-forward on reality. They barely remembered the details, just her impossible speed.
Regret crashed over them. No wonder Mr. Jefferson’s assistant had told them to pay close attention before the surgery. They felt like idiots now.
Lydia ignored them and motioned for Aiden to help her wheel Connor to the ICU.
“Wait, please!” Dr. Louis finally snapped out of his daze and rushed after her, his face full of regret. “I’m so sorry. We were blind. We didn’t recognize your skill.”
Lydia didn’t even look back. “You get what you deserve.” That was all she said. She had no time for people who didn’t matter.
“The car was totaled. We had to get out, but the attackers didn’t care about their own lives. They started shooting at us like maniacs. I… I’m not as fast as Connor. I couldn’t dodge in time. He got shot protecting me.”
Chris' voice dropped. He stared at the floor, shoulders hunched with guilt. “Grandpa wanted to send me to the military so Connor could train me himself, but Connor refused. He said I was the youngest and should live the life I wanted, not spend every day ready to sacrifice everything like he does.”
He swallowed hard. “Connor acts cold, but he’s always looking out for me and Mikey. This time, I’m the one who dragged him down.”
Chris' eyes were rimmed red, his words shaky. If anything really happened to Connor because of him, he’d never forgive himself.
“Thank you for saving my brother, Lydia. You’re our family’s lucky star. I mean it. You’ll always be my sister-in-law, no matter what.”
Lydia wasn’t great at comforting people. After a moment of quiet, she just said, “Those people tonight were after him from the very beginning.”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
