The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 906

Just as Vivian's face grew dangerously pale and Alastair's expression darkened with dread, I suddenly looked up and broke the silence. "Me."

"What?" Everyone turned to stare at me.

Sabrina looked panicked. "Selena, what's wrong? Does something hurt?"

I shook my head, locking eyes with Alastair and Vivian. "I'll perform Ferris's surgery," I declared in a low, steady voice.

"Selena?" Vivian stared in sheer disbelief.

Alastair's brow furrowed sharply.

Standing nearby, Dr. York's face shifted from shock to sudden realization. A glimmer of hope sparked in his eyes.

Vivian grabbed my hand frantically. "Selena, what are you saying? How could you..."

"Dr. Hayes might actually be our best shot," Dr. York interrupted, cutting Vivian off.

His eyes lit up with profound anticipation. "Back in med school, her skills were entirely on par with Dr. Sterling's. They were the top two students in their class. The only reason things played out differently was because Dr. Sterling came to Capital General while Dr. Hayes initially chose not to work. Professor Lucas himself said they were the most brilliant students he ever mentored. Their capabilities are exceptionally high. When Dr. Hayes first applied to Capital General, she aced the written exam with the top score. We actually wanted to put her in Neurosurgery under Dr. Sterling's supervision, but due to a clerical mix-up, she got assigned to Anesthesiology. She might technically belong to the Anesthesiology Department, but her neurosurgical expertise is world-class. Given the situation, she is fully qualified to step up."

"Is that true? But Selena, your leg," Alastair said, his eyes also brightening with hope before darting anxiously down to my injured knee.

It wasn't broken, but the lacerations were severe. Standing unassisted was still incredibly difficult.

Alastair wasn't just worried about my physical stamina; he was worried about my mental state. "Selena, you haven't rested at all. Ferris's surgery will take hours. Are you sure you can handle this?"
