Chapter 139


    Liam and the doctors were puzzled at the mention of Mrs. Killian. They wondered when Bernard


    had gotten married. The youngdy looked barely of age.


    Although their curiosity peaked, the doctors silently stared at Aaron, keeping their thoughts to


    themselves.


    …


    Outside the window, darkness gradually gave way to the breaking dawn, marking the end of the


    heart-wrenching wait.


    In the operating room, Hera''s forehead glistened with sweat as she deftly removed the bullet with


    the forceps in her left hand.


    The sound of the bullet hitting the metal tray echoed through the otherwise quiet operating room,


    drowned out only by the hum of machinery.


    Johnson''s eyes lit up with overwhelming joy.


    They had seeded! Judging by the vital signs monitor readings, Bernard''s condition had been


    resolved without anyplications.


    While he and other seasoned doctors had spent hours deliberating over a viable surgical n, Hera


    had effortlesslypleted the surgery after a quick examination of the CT scans and Bernard''s


    pulse.


    He found her to be truly remarkable.

    Johnson suddenly recalled Bernard''s search for Dr. Shadow. It seemed they no longer needed Dr.


    Shadow now that they had Hera.


    "Stitch him up," Hera instructed Johnson.


    As Johnson closed the wound with sutures, she applied a few more acupuncture needles to


    Bernard.


    With the surgery now concluded, Johnson moved to open the operating room door while Hera


    removed her gloves and gently brushed her fingers against Bernard''s cheeks. She let out a sigh of


    relief.


    Although Bernard''s body temperature remained slightly elevated, his fever had subsided, and his


    lips had regained their natural color.


    Despite his pale expression, he slept soundly, like a sleeping prince awaiting to be wakened up with


    a kiss.


    As soon as the operating room door opened, Aaron hurried over and asked anxiously, "How did it


    go?"


    Stepping out of the operating room, Johnson finally released his tension, his expression worn out


    from exhaustion.


    However, his demeanor shocked the other doctors, who assumed the worst. A chill crept down their


    spines as they contemted the potential consequences if Bernard had indeed perished during the


    surgery.


    "Captain Ludden, I''m truly sorry. If I had tried to stop them or perhaps joined their surgery, Mr. Killian


    might still be alive now," Liam eximed, dropping to his knees, his expression filled with remorse.


    Liam''s reaction startled the other doctors, leaving them uncertain if they should follow suit.


    "What nonsense are you bbering about!" Johnson interjected.


    "The surgery was a great sess! The patient is stable without needing to amputate his leg!"


    "Really?" Liam eximed in disbelief.


    Ignoring him, Johnson returned to the operating room to assist Hera in wheeling Bernard out.


    The doctors were left dumbfounded, unable to grasp how a youngdy had seeded in a surgery


    they deemed challenging.


    Without hesitation, they dropped to their knees, offering their sincere respect to Hera.


    "You''re a genius, Mrs. Killian! You have our deepest respect and gratitude, Mrs. Killian!"


    Hera stared at them in puzzlement.
