She had even said such hurtful things to him!
In this world, almost anything was for sale, but regret couldn’t be undone, and time didn’t move backward.
What she needed to do now wasn’t wallow in remorse but focus on saving Elliot’s life and then offer him a heartfelt apology.
Suzy had always been a skeptic when it came to faith, but in that moment, she found herself silently praying, over and over, pleading with the heavens to help Elliot survive this ordeal.
Perhaps her prayers were answered, as the pre–surgical examination revealed something extraordinary: Elliot’s heart wasn’t in the typical position.
While most people’s hearts are on the left side, his was on the right.
Even so, the situation remained critical–the bullet had grazed his aorta.
Although it was just a graze, it was still a dangerous injury that couldn’t be taken lightly.
The assisting medical staff, seeing the situation clearly, wore apprehensive expressions.
The complexity of this surgery was on a world–class level.
Could this young, relatively unknown woman handle it?
Their doubts didn’t last long. As the operation began, Suzy’s technique quickly dispelled their concerns.
Her skills were nothing short of masterful–on par with the world’s top surgeons.
Despite the emotional connection she had with the patient lying on the table, she maintained an extraordinary level of composure and focus.
Few could achieve that, certainly not anyone present in the room.
By the end of the surgery, the staff were left in awe of her abilities.
A procedure of such magnitude, which would normally take three to five hours for even the most skilled surgeon, had been completed by Suzy in just one hour.
Not only had she completed it, but she had also done it flawlessly.
The surgery was a success. Now, all that remained was to wait for Elliot to wake up.
To ensure there were no complications, Suzy stayed by his side to personally monitor his condition.
News of Elliot’s incident reached Dylan, who immediately rushed to the hospital.
When he arrived, Suzy was sitting outside the ICU, keeping vigil.
Having already investigated the situation, Dylan now fully understood the series of events. He hadn’t expected Suzy to have such a falling–out with Elliot over him.
Still, he didn’t dwell on it too much.
After all, if Suzy was willing to go as far as hiring a woman for him, it was clear the conflict with Elliot wasn’t solely about him.
It was likely that she was deeply dissatisfied with Elliot’s actions and unwilling to accept what he had done.

After all, she cared about Elliot.
He was her student, and as his mentor, she didn’t want to see him go down the wrong path.
No matter what had happened, with Elliot in such a critical condition, Dylan felt he had to come and check on him. They had crossed paths in life, and whether Suzy wanted to see him or not, he couldn’t ignore the situation.
Suzy, already in a terrible mood, felt her frustration grow when she saw Dylan.
His presence only reminded her of the hurtful words she had said to Elliot.
With a bitter laugh, she muttered, “I almost drove my own student to his death. Isn’t that just absurd?”
“Don’t be so hard on yourself. He won’t blame you,” Dylan said gently, trying to comfort her.
“Even if it were me in your place, I might have done the same. He’s your student–your only student. Of course, you don’t want him to make mistakes he’ll regret.

A mentor’s bond with their student was much like that of a teacher guiding a young protégé, always worried they might lose their way.
Dylan was certain that Suzy felt the same way about Elliot.
Hearing Dylan’s words, Suzy felt an even heavier weight on her chest.
“Yes, he’s my only student, the one I trained with my own hands. And yet, I doubted him!”
It felt as if a massive stone was pressing down on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
“Thank goodness he’s still alive. If something had happened to him, I’d never forgive myself!”
Dylan hesitated for a moment, then rolled his wheelchair closer to her. After a pause, he gently patted her shoulder. “He’s going to be okay.”
