The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1713

It was no wonder Mr. Charles was blacklisted by every reputable surgical board on the planet.

If they hadn't been forced into this corner, Claire would never have accepted this case.

The patient wasn't the problem; the family's psychotic, violent tendencies were a massive liability.

One wrong move, and it would turn into a bloodbath.

"What exactly went wrong during recovery?"

"Can you elaborate?"

Both Claire and Tandy demanded answers.

Logically, Lucas should have received the absolute highest standard of care. How on earth did he suffer a secondary spinal fracture?

At the question, Mr. Charles's face twisted into a mask of pure rage.

It was the curse of a massive, power-hungry dynasty. Greed always bred betrayal.

A rival faction within the family had bribed Lucas's nurse to sabotage the brakes on his wheelchair, sending him crashing down a steep concrete ramp.

"What position was his body in when he impacted the ground?"

Claire wasn't just being nosy; she needed exact biomechanical data to assess the secondary trauma.

Mr. Charles ordered his men to pull up the security footage of the 'accident' for the doctors to review.

Lucas turned his face away, unable to stomach watching his own agonizing destruction.

Claire and Tandy scrutinized the footage frame by frame, then meticulously examined Lucas's spine once more.

Finally, they reached a consensus: the surgery was viable.

But it required a flawless dual-operation.

Furthermore, the surgery was only the first grueling step; the real battle was the extensive neurological rehabilitation, which rested entirely on Claire's shoulders.

"I'm currently treating another patient with severe spinal trauma. I'm using specialized acupuncture to stimulate nerve regeneration, and I'm highly confident in a full recovery."

"She trusts my methods implicitly, and her progress has been phenomenal."

"Even though she isn't walking yet, she's miles ahead of where she was post-op."
