Chapter 553


    “Yes. I’m going to treat udette, of course!” Emmanuel dered confidently.


    Meanwhile, all the medical experts in attendance were thunderstruck by his


    promation. They were aware of Adolph’s daughter’s condition, and since


    she was on the brink of death, nothing could be done to save her.


    “Is he going to risk his life just for 7.5 million?”


    “His greed will be his downfall!”


    In the meantime, Rhea admired the man’s courage and self–assurance, but


    she was misled by the crowd’s whispers into believing he was doing it for


    money.


    However, Emmanuel continued, “I am willing to offer up my life in return if I fail


    to save udette, but if I manage to treat her, I want you, General Lenoir, to

    promise me that you will never go against the Quillen family in business ever


    again!”


    What the heck?! What is going on? Once again, everyone was gob–smacked


    by the man’s deration.


    On the other hand, Rhea’s eyes widened in disbelief. Huh! He’s not here for


    the money? How is he rted to the Quillen family? Why is he willing to risk


    his life to resolve the grudge between the two families?


    “Hah! If you save my daughter’s life, I’ll immediately stop everything I’ve been


    doing, and I won’t engage in any kind of business rivalry with the Quillen


    family for the next three years!” Adolph dered with a wave of his hand.


    “Deal!” Emmanuel stopped negotiating the terms with him. However, his


    immediate priority was to save udette, not only to put an end to the feud


    between the families but also to repay her for saving his life.


    Later, he was brought to her room, where he noticed four nurses caring for


    her. As soon as he saw her body, his heart skipped a beat due to her lifeless


    face. Then, he swiftly pulled off the nket to check on her, and his heart


    sank further when he discovered that her once beautiful body was showing


    signs of decay. However, with the assistance of the machines, she continued


    to breathe, albeit barely.


    Following a thorough examination of her condition, Emmanuel discovered


    that udette’s heart rate was extremely abnormal, and he realized that


    although surgery had been performed on her bullet wound, it had not been


    done well enough. Although he knew that her anatomy was slightly different


    from the norm, the surgeons had performed the procedure based on their


    prior experience with other patients. Consequently, her heart artery was


    blocked, resulting in heart failure and otherplications.


    “I have to do another surgery at once!” he murmured because he was


    confident in his treatment approach. He also knew she would likely die during


    the surgery, given her current condition.


    As anticipated, the four nurses shrugged and retreated when Emmanuel said


    he required assistance.


    “I need to perform heart surgery on the patient, and I need someone to help


    1. me. Does anyone here have any nursing experience?” Time was of the


    essence, so rather than wasting time trying to persuade the four nurses, he


    exited the room and asked the other medical experts waiting outside.


    When they heard this, everyone hesitated and exchanged nces, but no


    one dared to agree to do it. Everyone knew that if they saved udette, they


    would make a fortune and make a name for themselves, but if they failed,


    they might lose their lives.


    On the other hand, Rhea’s fists were clenched, and her face was flushed, but


    shecked the courage to speak up.


    Nheless, Emmanuel was sorely disappointed by their attitudes. Medical


    professionals have a professional and ethical obligation to help those in


    need, but these doctors are not interested. Then, he swept his eyes across


    the crowd, and everyone averted their gaze until itnded on Juan.


    In the meantime, Juan felt his eyes on him and sighed in embarrassment.


    Still, Emmanuel knew that someone of Juan’s status was not fit to be his


    surgical assistant. He was about to turn away when a beautiful young


    woman standing beside Juan stepped out of the crowd!


    “I’ll help you!”


    As soon as the beautiful woman uttered those words, everyone began to


    murmur to one another.


    “Rhea!” Juan couldn’t help but call out to his daughter, and while he didn’t say


    anything else, his expression said it all.


    As a long–standing rival in the medical field, Zander advised with phony


    sincerity, “You should talk some sense into your daughter, Juan, or otherwise,


    all the effort you put into raising her will have been for nothing!“
