Chapter 74: 074. Preparing for surgery_1 Chapter 74: 074. Preparing for surgery_1 Adam Jones didn’t notice the man’s complexion as he stood up from his executive chair and knocked on the desk, saying, “In this lifeti, Elly Campbell can only be my wife, Adam Jones. As my legal advisor, now is your ti to shine.”
The man was silent, not uttering a sound for a while, and the business card in his hand was unknowingly crumpled. In his usually cold eyes, there seed to be a struggle to contain sothing.
“What’s wrong?”
Adam finally noticed sothing was off and asked.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
The man regained his composure, discreetly placed the business card into his pocket, and told Adam, “Leave this matter to .”
Once he had left Adam’s office, the color in the man’s eyes suddenly darkened, and his hands by his side involuntarily curled up.
It really was her… Helen lendy.
People’s First Hospital—
“Elly.”
“Dean Stevenson?”
Elly Campbell had just finished her rounds when she was stopped by Dean Stevenson.
“Miss Jones’s heart donor has been found, and the surgery is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Find so ti to hand over to the patient’s family.”
As he said this, Dean Stevenson added another sentence, “Miss Jones has a special status, so try to tolerate it as much as you can.”
“Alright, Dean, I understand,” Elly responded.
Elly didn’t really want to handle Lily Jones’s surgery; she preferred not to interact with any mbers of the Jones family other than the Old Lady.
But she was the doctor who received Lily on the day of the incident and knew her condition best. Lily’s husband, Christopher Moore, specifically insisted that Elly perform the surgery.
As a doctor, she had no choice but to accept, only hoping that Lily wouldn’t cause any more trouble by then.
When it was almost ti to leave work, Elly found a mont to visit Lily’s hospital room.
Upon seeing Elly, Lily’s complexion imdiately darkened, but because her grandmother and brother were present, she didn’t dare to speak embarrassingly to Elly, nor did she show any goodwill.
Elly hadn’t expected Adam to be there as well; her steps montarily paused at the door, then she proceeded towards Lily with a composed expression.
“Sister-in-law.”
Christopher Moore was the first to stand up to greet Elly. Elly instinctively frowned at the address but not wanting to make a fuss about it, she chose to ignore this form of address from Christopher.
“Mr. Moore, Miss Jones’s surgery is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. I need to explain to you so necessary preoperative considerations and the risks that may occur during the surgery.”
“Of course, sister-in-law, please go ahead,” Christopher responded.
It was clear that Christopher was anxious about Lily’s operation. Normally a young master from a noble family, she often saw him dealing with official matters when she ca over, his actions sharp and decisive, exuding confidence in every decision without hesitation or drag.
And yet, whenever it ca to matters related to Lily, he always seed extrely nervous and unsure of himself. If it wasn’t for his deep love for Lily, why else would he act this way?
Elly inwardly admired Christopher for a mont and said, “Before the surgery, you’ll need to sign off on it. Please rest assured, we will do our utmost to ensure the success of the operation.”
As a doctor, she couldn’t be too definitive in her assurances. Her deanor when speaking to Christopher carried a noticeable formality, her gaze steady and direct.
