What was keeping her busy?
Wasn’t she supposed to call him after her grandpa’s surgery and lunch?
What ti was it now?
Did she go for a nap?
Rembering how Rosemary had endured such a long flight to Dawnstar and imdiately plunged herself into saving lives, Roo didn’t bother her further. But his mind was filled with thoughts of her.
Rosemary’s focus was unyielding. What was originally a 10-hour operation, she completed in just six hours. The patient’s blood loss during the entire procedure was only about 500 milliliters, and his liver was without blood supply for two hours.
Everyone at the hospital was completely astounded!
In this operation, led by Rosemary, three doctors successfully repaired the arteries, hepatic veins, portal veins, inferior vena cava, and other blood vessels. The liver retention reached 98%, and the liver function was normal.
Not only Dr. Brade and another surgeon were amazed and thrilled, but all the doctors in the observation room also cheered! They were all deeply impressed and benefited greatly from observing such a lengthy operation.
When Rosemary ca out of the operating room, the woman rushed up to ask about her father’s condition. Upon hearing that his liver function could be completely preserved and the operation was successful, she broke down in tears and knelt before Rosemary.
Rosemary tried to help her up, but she was crying her eyes out. She was insistent on expressing her gratitude to Rosemary.
The other doctors in the observation room surrounded Rosemary, inquiring about her background, praising her dical skills, and asking about her future plans.
Seeing his niece being surrounded by so many people, Bard couldn’t help but say,
"Would you all mind stepping aside? My niece needs to change her clothes. She’s been operating for such a long ti, and she’s tired."
Everyone turned to look at the man standing on the other side of the crowd. He was a formidable figure that no one in the country didn’t recognize.
"Mr. Bard."
"Mr. Bard, she’s your niece?"
"The genes of the Griffith family are really good. Everyone in your family is so outstanding and excellent."
Rosemary nodded at her uncle, who had helped her out of the crowd, and went to the changing room to remove her surgical gown and sterilize herself.
The woman from Dawnstar who had been kneeling on the ground, with the help of others, stood up and looked at Bard in disbelief.
Bard noticed her gaze and looked back, also sowhat surprised.
Janice?
One of the group directors. They often t, but their positions were different. At yesterday’s board eting, only she and a few other old directors voted against.
Janice asked Bard in disbelief if the woman earlier was his niece. His real niece? She had never heard him ntion it before.
Bard told her that she was indeed his niece whom he had recently found. He asked her not to spread the word.
Janice nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face again. She told Bard that without Rosemary, her father would have been long gone. She couldn’t believe that this miracle-working doctor was Bard’s own niece. What a coincidence.
Bard gave her a few comforting words. He was surprised to hear that she had information about the inner workings of the company. She promised to email him the details that night.
Bard didn’t expect this unexpected gain. It was all thanks to Rosemary.
Seeing that his beloved niece had co out, Bard told Janice that his niece hadn’t eaten anything since noon and had even perford two surgeries.
Upon hearing this, Janice felt guilty. She thanked Rosemary again and promised to et Bard that evening.
Rosemary was a bit confused. Did they know each other?
It wasn’t until her uncle introduced Janice that she understood their relationship.
Seeing that the sky outside was already dark, probably around seven or eight o’clock, Bard suggested,
"Let’s go out for dinner, and I’ll show you the night view of Dawnstar."
"Alright."
Rosemary was indeed hungry, but more than that, she was tired. She got into the car and quickly drifted off to sleep.
Seeing her so exhausted, Bard rembered what Sampson had once said about the tough tis she had gone through. His heart ached for her.
After an indeterminate amount of ti, Rosemary was awakened by Bard’s soft voice. She looked around to find that they had arrived at a beautiful hilltop restaurant overlooking the night sky of Dawnstar.
The restaurant manager personally opened the car door for her. Rosemary responded briefly.
Bard looked at her with a hint of admiration in his eyes,
"I didn’t expect your French to be so good."
It was even better than Serena’s.
When Serena had a whim to learn French, he had hired a top-notch language tutor for her. But surprisingly, her pronunciation wasn’t as good as Rose’s.
Seed like his niece had many virtues waiting to be discovered.
Rosemary looked at the night view below and suddenly rembered her promise to call Roo after dinner.
Was he still waiting?
"Uncle Bard, you go in first. I need to make a call."
"Alright." Without asking any more questions, Bard handed the car keys to the parking attendant and went in.
Rosemary took out her mobile phone from her backpack, only to find several missed calls: from her parents, friends, subordinates, and also Roo.
She called Roo back first. He picked up almost imdiately.
"Are you awake?"
"How did you know I was sleeping?" Rosemary thought he knew about her nap in the car, but she soon realized he was referring to her afternoon nap.
When he found out she hadn’t eaten since noon and had perford two surgeries, Roo said sympathetically,
"After you eat and get ho to rest, I’ll call you."
Eating sothing was the most important thing now.
Rosemary heard the automated voice in the cabin on his end and imdiately guessed what was happening,
"Are you on a plane? Coming to Dawnstar?"
Private planes allow phone calls.
Roo didn’t expect her to guess so quickly. Fearing she might get angry, he quickly explained,
"I just happen to have so business in Dawnstar."
He was not shirking his responsibilities.
"Oh." Rosemary chuckled with interest. She knew this guy couldn’t resist following her.
"Alright, when you get here, take around if you have the ti."
Roo couldn’t believe what he was hearing, his eyes lighting up with happiness,
"Alright, I’ll take you around. Go eat first."
"Sure."
After hanging up the call, Rosemary noticed the restaurant manager still waiting for her not far away, his face bearing a respectful and polite smile.
"Ms. Rose, this is the first ti I’ve seen Mr. Bard bring a lady to dine here. Mr. Bard is a rare gentleman—handso, gentle, and loyal."
Rosemary cut him off before he could finish,
"I’m his niece."
The restaurant manager was taken aback for a few seconds before quickly correcting himself,
"He’s also a great uncle! I dare say, he’s the best uncle in the world, bar none."
"Oh, so isn’t Mr. Sampson good?"
Caught off guard, the manager quickly replied,
"No, no, no, Mr. Sampson is also very good."
"Enough. Just show the way."
"Okay."
