The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1694

Dr. Anne briefed Arabella about Sean's condition, and concluded with a cautionary note, "From a medical perspective, the surgery would necessitate opening Sean’s heart, but what we concern is the risk of a sudden and massive hemorrhage during the operation. Given Sean's prominent status, we wouldn't risk proceeding with surgery without a 70-to-80-percent likelihood of success."

"But now, with Dr. Bell on board, it's like a weight has been lifted." Dr. Anne said with a relieved smile.

"Dr. Bell, do you think we could make a minor incision near the bullet without fully opening up the chest, so that we could extract the bullet with minimal risk?" Dr. Anne asked, seeking guidance with genuine respect.

"The bullet has been there for months, and it's already embedded itself in the heart tissue. A full thoracotomy is a must." Dr. Bell replied with authority.

Before Dr. Bell's arrival, Anne and her team would never have dreamed of performing such a risky operation on Sean.

In a newly opened VIP suite, Horace lay in his hospital bed, popping grapes into his mouth and spitting out the seeds for Sean’s bodyguards to catch.

"Catch every single one," he drawled with a smirk. "If any drop on the floor and I become even slightly annoyed, one call from me, and Sean's done for," he said, mimicking the gesture of snapping a neck.

The bodyguards tensed, their eyes fixed on Horace, hands clutching disposable bowls, not daring to let their guard down for even a second.

Inside the OR.

After Dr. Doreen had administered the anesthesia to Sean, Dr. Anne sterilized the surgical area, and Arabella made a precise and swift incision into the patient’s chest, forming a cross-shaped cut in the heart.

The OR was under surveillance, so when Steward saw the scene unfold, he was transfixed with shock.
