The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 616

Whether Tara can actually help or not is beside the point for Julianna. The sheer sight of Danny escorting her, the two of them standing shoulder to shoulder, feels like a physical blow to her chest.

"There's no need to consult them," Tara says, her tone unhurried and radiating a quiet, absolute confidence. "If you ask, they will simply tell you there's no time to lose and surgery is the only option. After all, very few people believe a simple acupuncture session can save a life."

Her approach to medicine goes far beyond what any conventional doctor is taught.

"You're that confident, Miss Dennis?" Gregory steps forward, his brow deeply furrowed. "If you fail to cure my mother—or worse, if you exacerbate her condition and cost us the optimal window for surgery—how will you account for that?"

When a life is hanging by a thread, caution is paramount.

"I am confident, yes," Tara nods. A faint, almost arrogant smirk touches her lips. "Besides surgery, do you have any other options right now? The doctors have already laid out the worst-case scenario. There's a massive chance she won't survive the operation. If they hand you that grim reality, do you demand they take responsibility when she dies on the table?"

Tara finds the man's interrogation ridiculous. Hospital doctors can never guarantee a flawless surgical outcome. They make families sign endless liability waivers. Yet, when it comes to her, he suddenly demands a watertight warranty? She knows her own skills, and she has the absolute certainty to wake the old woman up. What she doesn't appreciate is his hostile, condescending attitude.
