Chapter 608

Vivian Laurent had just stepped through the hospital doors when Dr. Lee from the cardiology department intercepted her.

"Dr. Laurent, Chief Wang needs you in the OR immediately. There's an emergency."

Vivian quickened her pace. "What happened?"

"An unexpected lesion was discovered during a bypass surgery. Chief Wang is uncertain how to proceed."

She swiftly changed into surgical scrubs and strode into the operating room.

"Chief Wang?"

Beads of sweat dotted the chief surgeon's forehead. "Dr. Laurent, look at this vascular obstruction. It wasn't detected in the preoperative scans."

Vivian leaned closer, her brow furrowing slightly.

"My hands are shaking, and the residents lack experience," Chief Wang admitted tightly. "You're our only hope."

She took the instruments without hesitation. "I'll handle it."

Her movements were precise and efficient. Within twenty minutes, the lesion was successfully removed.

"Incredible," the residents whispered in awe.

Chief Wang exhaled in relief. "We owe you one."

"Just doing my job." Vivian peeled off her gloves. "The patient is stable now."

Outside the OR, Mrs. Semona paced anxiously.

"Mom, please sit down," Bianca Semona urged, guiding her mother to a chair. "Dad will be fine."

The operating light flicked off. A doctor emerged. "The surgery was successful."

Mrs. Semona burst into tears.

"Bianca, go thank Chief Wang with some fruit," her mother instructed.

Bianca carried a fruit basket to Chief Wang's office.

"You should thank Dr. Vivian Laurent from General Surgery," the chief demurred. "She saved your father's life."

Bianca's fingers clenched around the basket. "Vivian?"

"Yes. Her expertise made all the difference."

Bianca's expression darkened instantly.

She marched to the General Surgery Department and stopped a nurse. "Where's Dr. Vivian Laurent?"

The nurse pointed down the hallway. "That's her right there."

Bianca turned. Her pupils contracted sharply.

The face she despised most was walking toward her.
