The old man could not bring himself to watch Baby Zetty struggle and in pain, hence he very reluctantly stood up and followed Boye.
When they came to Baby Zetty’s operation room, they saw Baby Zetty making the smallest incision in the patient's stomach while skillfully holding a scalpel. She nimbly applied medicine to the infected area before sewing up his wounds deftly.
The old man's jaw dropped.
Boye said proudly, "Do you see that? This is the result o f me forcing her to dissect small animals."
"She hasn't dissected a person before, though?" the old man exclaimed.
Boye stared contemptuously at him. "You're timid and have poor comprehension, therefore you think that everyone will struggle like you. Baby Zetty is a prodigy in medicine. She can remember most of what she has seen, whether it’s a sketch or the real thing. She's able to locate each organ precisely."
The old man was not mad at Boye for belittling him and praising Baby Zetty. Instead, he laughed and said, "You finally have a successor, Boye."
Boye said, "Just wait and see. This kid will complete
her apprenticeship in less than five years."
The old man shook his head and said, "What she's learning right now is orthodox medicine. You haven't even passed on your legendary secrets to her. It’s a little early to make a conclusion."
Boye thought about it and said, "You're right. I’ll have t o think of a way to test her."
The next day, the critically ill patient was out of danger.
Baby Zetty let out a smile of relief.
