CEO's Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 5
You Can’t Afford Tim continued to think, as long as Mr. Stowe’s family signs the consent form, we can operate on him. Even if he
di*s, it will have nothing to do with us. We did the best we could. However, I don’t think he can wait that long. If we don’t do some
thing, he will d*e in ten minutes. “Professor Swift, shall we wait for his family?” Denise Moore, a young deputy doctor, tentatively
asked. “If we operate on him directly...” She thought, if something happens, Mr. Killian’s grandson will come after us. Our hands
are tied. Mr. Killian is bound to d*e today. “I suggest we give him heart stabilizer and efloxate now. The others can wait till his fam
ily gets here,” Denise suggested. The other doctors couldn’t think of anything better. They remained silent and looked at Tim, wai
ting for him to make a decision. Tim did not speak for a long time. Seeing that, Denise decided to be the decision maker and ord
ered the nurse beside her, “Go fetch the heart stabilizer and efloxate.” The nurse was about to do as she was told.. Paige, who w
as at the door, spoke lazily again, “If you do that, he will d*e.” She thought, once they give him the heart stabilizer and efloxate, n
o one can save him. He is now too fragile to take any medicine. Giving him the heart stabilizer and efloxate can only sober him u
p for a while. He will d*e within thirty minutes. “Who are you? Where do you come from? Go away. We are busy here. We have n
o time to waste on you.” Denise thought, what a pain in the a*s. Where does she come from? We are the experts, and we are tryi
ng to come up with solutions here. What is an ignor*nt girl doing here? “Quack.” Paige didn’t bother to waste time with them and
was ready to leave.. “What did you say? Stop right there!” Denise was furious and shouted. “Denise, she is just a girl. There’s no
need to be so serious with her. Mr. Stowe is our priority now,” Devan persuaded her. “She calls me a quack!” Denise was angry a
nd looked at Paige with dissatisfaction. Denise thought, I’m the most qualified, youngest deputy doctor in this group. I have recei
ved countless awards and praise. How dare she question my medical skills? Chapter 5 You Can’t Afford 1/3 “She doesn’t know w
hat’s going on here. There’s no point arguing with her.” Devan was anxious. He just wanted to deal with Killian as soon as possib
le. He thought, in any case, he must not d*e here, or everyone present will be doomed. Right now, we can’t operate on him, and
we can’t just let him d*e like that. I guess the heart stabilizer and efloxate are our only options. “Who did you call a quack?” Denis
e came in front of Paige and asked, unconvinced. “Tell me. I’m listening.” “Who else besides you?” Paige raised her eyebrows, o
bviously not taking Denise seriously. “You...” Denise was furious. She thought, how dare you! Paige crossed her arms in front of
her chest and said in a la*y tone, “In his condition, there is nothing to do but operate.” “Operate? Easy for you to say.” Denise wa
s so angry that she grinned. “Mr. Stowe has already had five heart surgery. Nowhere in his heart is intact. Let alone Farwen Hos
pital, no hospital in the whole country dares to perform his sixth heart operation on his scarred heart!” “Forget it, Denise.” Devan j
ust wanted to smooth things over. However, Denise was way more hot–
tempered. “There is no case like his in all the medical literature, including the foreign ones. His case is very unique,” Denise said
word by word. “Do you know how difficult the operation is? Before that, we communicated with numerous well–
known cardiac surgeons at home and abroad. No one could think of a better way.” “That’s because you are bad at it.” Paige raise
d her eyebrows. Denise sneered and scoffed, “Are you saying that you’re good at it? Go ahead then.” Paige glanced at the old m

an on the bed. She looked somehow a bit more unbridled, and she said in a casual tone, “You can’t afford me.” Denise was amu
sed. “He is not someone ordinary. Money is just a figure for him. If you can save him, forget about the money. I’ll kneel in front of
you!” “Alright.” Paige raised her eyebrows. Denise didn’t take Paige’s reaction seriously. “You are so ignor*nt. Have you graduate
d from high school? Do you know which side of the body the heart is on? Surgery is a serious business. It’s not like cutting some
steak in a restaurant. You can’t just do whatever you want. I don’t care who you are or where you come from. Apologize to me an
d get lost, and I’ll let you slide.” Paige glanced at the ID card on Denise’s left chest and said disapprovingly, “You’re the deputy d
octor of cardiac surgery, yet you can’t even operate artificial valve replacement. And you want me to apologize to you?” “You...” “
A quack is better than you.” “Listen to her! What the heck is she talking about? How can she say that?” Denise was flustered and
exasperated. The female director muttered to herself, “I’m surprised that she knows artificial valve replacement...” She thought, i
t’s such a professional medical term. I can’t believe I heard it from her mo*th. Maybe she knows medicine indeed. Devan realized
the same thing. He looked at Paige with surprise and shock in his eyes and whispered to Denise, “Why don’t we let her try? May
be she can do something.” “Mr. Herbert, what are you thinking? How can you believe her?” Before Denise finished speaking, ano
ther doctor whispered, “If something happens, we can let her take the blame...” “She is not a doctor here!” Denise turned around
and whispered. “You know who Mr. Stowe is, don’t you? If something happens, all of us present will be doomed. Do you think let
ting her be the scapegoat will be enough?” She turned around and glanced at Paige, her eyes full of contempt. “If she knew anyt
hing about medicine, she’d be known for it, and she’d be the chief here. None of us would be needed.” Devan was helpless. “But
we don’t have a better way now...” “Maybe we should... get Dr. Williamson here,” the female director said tentatively. Colin was
recognized as a genius in the hospital. However... “Dr. Williamson is very proud. He won’t take a look at patients who aren’t in hi
s charge.” Denise knew it very well. Therefore, she never bothered Colin with such a matter. Colin had a bad temper. Chances w
ere, they might get kicked out. He wouldn’t care about embarrassing them at all. “Then what should we do now?” Perhaps their v
oices were a bit loud. Around eight people outside the ward were watching them, discussing.
