Over 60 years ago, the Gaztrict family had been just a small, insignificant household in Capitol. At that time, Noah Gaztrict was only a medical intern.
One Sunday, the hospital received a critical case—acute pulmonary edema.
Only two interns were on shift, one of whom was Noah.
When they learned that the patient was the head of the Stroud family, the other intern trembled in fear and immediately called the department director.
Only Noah noticed how dire the situation was and took action himself, going straight into the operating room.
By the time the director arrived, Noah had already saved the Stroud family head's life.
From that day on, the Gaztrict family gained a foothold in the Stroud family's private medical team.
And with that opportunity, they skyrocketed, rising to become one of the top noble families in Capitol within just a few decades.
Combined with Caleb's extraordinary medical talent, the Gaztrict family had reached its peak. They'd enjoyed 60 years of glory, and Noah didn't want any mistakes now.
Thinking back to that fateful day, a flicker of hesitation appeared in his aged eyes. But still, he couldn't bring himself to hand Xavier's life over to such an inexperienced girl.
Even back then, he had only dared to operate because he had observed countless surgeries and practiced techniques repeatedly.
But this girl? She looked like she was still in high school!
"No! She has no experience. If she goes in, she'll just make things worse! And besides, Mr. Stroud despises women—"
"Something's wrong!" A nurse suddenly burst out of the room, cutting him off in a panic. "Mr. Stroud has pulled out all his tubes and monitors—his behavior is extremely erratic!"
Caleb shoved aside the guards blocking the door and dragged Scarlett inside.
"Caleb!" Noah roared, furious, his eyes nearly bulging as he shouted and waved, "Stop him! Stop him!"
But by the time anyone could react, Caleb had pulled Scarlett in and locked the door behind them.
The crowd of doctors outside stood in stunned silence.
