The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1356

And if the Soranos knew that it was Gene Pearce's lover who operated on their retainer, Winter was going down even quicker.

Such was the trap Paco set for Winter—damned if you do, damned if you don't.

He sneered, as he believed it was impossible for Winter to save Gus Zeller.

Before Winter arrived, he had examined Gus—the man's bones were broken all over and he had lost one arm, while his organs were bleeding.

Even his heart rate was dangerously low.

To Paco, experienced as he may be, Gus could well have been run over by a train.

He was a dead man walking, and things would get very bad for anyone who takes his case.

And it just so happened that Paco could use it against his new chief, who was just starting her first day.

"No matter how unusual the circumstances are, saving the patient is top priority," Winter said, clearly more determined than Paco expected.

She pushed Paco out of the way and led her bestie Jean Zims toward the surgical table.

Even if she spent days practicing with many patients thanks to Frank, she was still left gasping at the patient on the table.

Jean appeared at a loss beside her too—modern techniques like stitching wounds together might work, but there was barely a one percent chance of survival for this man.

"Hehe… So? Are you sure about this, chief?"

Paco and his assistants entered just then, grinning at Winter as she spaced out.

"My thoughts don't matter. I'm a doctor, and I will do my best."
