Chapter 1298
Anthea was isted, but Amelie felt very happy, thinking that Anthea, with an exaggerated opinion
of her abilities, finally got what she deserved.
Amelie handed the handkerchief to the olddy and said, "My dear godmother, I think the military
doctors are right!"
Thedy looked at these well-experienced military doctors and then at the young Anthea. In a short
time, she made the decision. "No, I don''t agree with her! I cannot risk my husband''s life!"
Anthea fell into silence.
Her knuckles whitened as she clenched her fingers.
In the eyes of this storm, Anthea felt that in her humble position, her word did not carry much
weight.
As a doctor, her mission was to cure patients and save people. Very asionally, there would be
someone question her medical skills, which was no big deal. But now, in the face of distrust and
criticism from all the others, she still felt very sad.
Seeing that the olddy made her choice, a military doctor said, "Little girl, go back to your private
hospital! We don''t need you here anymore!"
"Young people these days are too impetuous and irresponsible!"
"I think it''s time for the medicalmunity to reestablish rules and regtions. Thus, only doctors
with real abilities can be the director of a department!"
Everyone thought she made the treatment decision with indecent haste, regardless of the old chief''s
safety, so their words were somewhat harsh and mean.
Anthea pursed her lips and said nothing.
However, a chill still struck to her heart.
"Creak-"
At this time, the door of the ward was gently pushed open.
Adam, who had entered the ward without anyone noticing, stepped out with his military boots and
closed the ward door behind him.
He stood there, tall and robust, and said in a deep voice, "The old chief has agreed to have the
operation."
Everyone was stunned.
Obviously, during their animate debate, Adam went into the ward and persuaded the old chief.
Anthea looked at him nkly.
Her eyes met his dep-set eyes. He was looking at her with certainty and belief.
When no one believed her, he had so much confidence in her! Her cold heart suddenly felt a surge
of warmth.
Adam, like a burning brazier in the winter, drove away all the coldness from her.
Anthea, deeply touched, felt like crying.
The olddy widened her eyes in shock. Amelie, who was supporting her, gritted her teeth in hatred.
Especially when she saw them looking at each other silently, she was ovee by a sudden surge
of jealousy.
Although his wife went into the ward to persuade him, the old chief still insisted on having the
surgical operation.
Since the patient himself agreed, the other''s opinion did no longer matter.
The military doctors all sighed and shook their heads, feeling worried about the operation.
"Miss Lee, I suggest you give up on this operation!" Amelie, while supporting the olddy, stepped
forward and spoke up, "My godfather is old. So experienced military doctors in the hospital suggest
that we give him a conservative treatment, but only you insist on carrying out the surgical
treatment!"
"Miss Celestin, I''m a doctor!" Anthea reminded her.
A cold glint shed in her eyes as she looked at Anthea and said contemptuously. "This isn''t an
ordinary hospital. The person lying in the ward is not an ordinary patient either. He''s an old chief
who has made countless contributions to the country all his life!"
"Miss Lee, I know you are a doctor, but I can''t believe in your ability!
"You can''t use the case of my godfather to practice your skill and umte experience! His life is
of utmost importance. If anything happens to him, how can you take the responsibility?"
Each sentence said by Amelie had some hidden meaning.
Undoubtedly, she was reminding her godmother that it was Anthea who insisted on carrying out the
operation regardless of the others'' objection.
Every day the olddy was in a state of anxiety because of her husband''s illness. Though she had a
mild nature, she red at Anthea with a resentful look after hearing Amelie''s provoking words.
If one had to choose between living healthier after a highly risky operation and living longer with an
illness, most people would choose thetter.
The olddy wanted her husband to apany her for a little longer. The most critical thing was
that she did not believe in Anthea''s ability like other military doctors. She felt that Anthea was so
young that she might not give mature consideration to this. Therefore, she was not willing to let her
handle her husband''s illness!
Amelie provoked and embarrassed her in public. Though Anthea knew she did it for malicious
purposes, she had no intention of flinching. "I can take the responsibility!"

She was a doctor with the ability to save people, and she always took her patients seriously.
In addition, Anthea was very confident in her medical skills.
It was true that she was not as mature and experienced as other military doctors. But she had been
following Vincent to practice in hospitals and take part in rescue missions in disaster areas all over
the country since freshman year.
She persisted with the surgical operation because she had encountered a simr case when she
was abroad.
Anthea looked at the old chief''s wife. "Madam, pleasetrust me!"
But with Amelie at her side criticizing Anthea, how could she have any good impression on her?
The olddy, thinking that she put her husband''s life at risk, warned Anthea angrily, "If anything bad
happens to him, I won''t forgive you!"
Anthea said nothing more and just told the doctors next to her to prepare for the surgery.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Amelie''s mouth.
Her beautiful eyes were full of contempt and cruelty because she did not believe in Anthea''s ability
at all.
Six years ago, when Anthea was a medicine student, Amelie saw her afford the first-aid to a boy at
a banquet. Nevertheless, she just took some first-aid measures. It only showed that she was very
smart.
Now that six years had passed, she became a doctor, so what? So many military doctors with
superb medical skills did not dare to perform surgery on the chief, but she insisted on doing it.
Wasn''t she showing off her ability?
Amelie was waiting to see her head for her doom!
The old chief had been in hospital for a week, and his physical condition was poor. Thus, Anthea
decided to perform the surgery at three o''clock in the afternoon.
Anthea, who had changed into a green surgical suit, walked to the operating room with two
assistants.
Before she entered, she looked to the right.
Adam was there, wearing a starched military
uniform. He was tall and strong with broad shoulders and a very graceful bearing.
Looking into his pair of deep-set eyes, Anthea clenched her hands with determination and felt more
secure as if she had received some power from him. After taking a deep breath, she walked into the
operation room with great confidence.
Then the door of the operating room closed.
Everyone else was waiting outside in the corridor.
The surgery took a long time.
The old chief''s wife had been pacing back and forth at the door worriedly. After all, she had little
confidence in Anthea.
She was extremely worried that her husband would die on the operating table!
In the army, the old chief had a high opinion of Adam. Therefore, to please Adam, Amelie had been
very attentive to the old chief''s wife and seeded in making the olddy her godmother.
Amelie tried her best and seized every chance to show her tenderness and capabilities.
The olddy was very touched to see her being so busy. She said, "Amelie, thank you for your hard
work. You''ve been so busy in the hospital these days!" "Godmother, don''t say that. It is what I
should do!" Amelie gently shook her head, appearing to be very well-behaved and tender.
She looked up, her eyes involuntarily following the tall and strong figure before her.
