The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 165

After reviewing the surgical plan, Dr. Jansen offered a few suggestions for improvement. She also recommended using her team's state-of-the-art equipment, which could better protect the patient from sudden drops in blood oxygen levels during the open-heart surgery.

What thrilled Madeline even more was that Dr. Jansen was actually in The Capital specifically for a vacation. She would be staying for a month and proactively stated that she felt a connection with Evie and was willing to perform the surgery herself.

Privately, Sloane whispered to Madeline.

"Maddy, is it possible that York, that bastard, knows how badly he screwed you over in the past and is trying to make it up to you?"

Madeline froze for a second before offering a calm smile.

"You're overthinking it. If he really wanted to make amends, he wouldn't be making them through Evie."

"Plus, it's just a coincidence."

Professor Jansen had already said it herself—she hadn't been back in a long time and just wanted to tour The Capital.

It was purely just good luck on her part.

Either way, Evie's surgery was finally settled for now.

York offered to drive her back to FlyDream Media.

Looking at his unreadable expression, Madeline couldn't quite figure out what was going through his head.

Noticing her staring, York spoke with a teasing, half-smile.

"What's wrong, Ms. Monroe? Is my face so captivating you can't look away?"

Madeline was speechless.

When would this man ever learn to just talk normally?

"You're flattering yourself."

"Where is Professor Jansen?"

"I arranged for her to stay at The Capital Grand Hotel."

"Relax, a professor like her isn't going to flake on you."

Madeline was speechless once again.

She had every reason to believe this bastard was deliberately trying to piss her off just because he was in a bad mood.

Spending any amount of time with York was enough to give her an ulcer.

Madeline flashed him a stiff, professional smile.

"Don't project your petty mindset onto others."

"Is Professor Jansen coming to The Capital a coincidence, or did you specifically fly her out here?"
