Suzy’s gaze darkened slightly before she spoke again, shifting topics. “I’m going to prepare for the surgery. I’ve decided it’s best if I handle it myself to be absolutely sure.”
“There’s really no need,” Claude replied gently. “Besides, the Goodwin family might be arriving soon, and if they see you performing my surgery, they might start making assumptions.”
He had a point, Suzy realized.
It was a simple procedure; she was probably overthinking it.
But how could she not?
His legs hadn’t fully healed, and any complications could be disastrous.
Just then, the door to the operating room swung open, and a nurse stepped out, holding a document. “Are you the patient’s family? We need a signature on this critical condition notice.”
Lina12” Suzy’s brows knit tightly.
it become critical?”
“It’s supposed to be a simple lung drainage–how did
“During the procedure, the patient’s blood oxygen levels suddenly dropped, and his heartbeat became extremely erratic. We’ve been trying to stabilize him for over ten minutes, but nothing’s worked…”
Suzy didn’t wait to hear more. She pulled out her medical credentials on her phone. “I’m a doctor. I’ll take over the surgery myself.”
The nurse hesitated but nodded. “You’ll need to suit up and sterilize.”
“Take me there.”
After putting on sterile gear and disinfecting, Suzy finally entered the operating room. Seeing Claude lying motionless, tubes connected all over him, her heart twisted painfully.
She quickly moved past the other doctors. “I’ll handle this.”
With practiced precision, she began intubation, followed by defibrillation, her expertise leaving the doctors around her stunned. In just a few decisive maneuvers, she brought Claude back from the brink.
As his heartbeat stabilized and his oxygen levels rose, Suzy pressed her hands against the edge of the operating table, breathing heavily. She’d saved countless lives before, but she’d never felt fear like she had just now
Fear and regret. If she’d insisted on performing the surgery herself from the start, maybe he wouldn’t have faced such a close call.

Though Claude’s life was saved, he needed close monitoring in the ICU.
As Suzy pushed his bed out of the operating room, she caught sight of Dylan approaching. The moment their eyes met, a chilling fury ignited in Suzy’s gaze. She strode up to him in a heartbeat, grabbing his collar. “Dylan Wright, you’d better hope he makes it out of this unscathed, or I won’t let you off.”
Dylan’s eyes narrowed as he met her icy stare. What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Oh, playing innocent?” Suzy scoffed. “Desmond was pushing his wheelchair, and somehow it tipped over? Don’t tell me that was just a coincidence.”
She knew the assassination attempt might not have been Dylan’s doing, but this… This felt too deliberate, toq timely.
Desmond had barely started pushing him before the wheelchair toppled. She’d witnessed Desmond’s meticulous work for years, and this wasn’t a mistake he’d make. Not unless someone ordered him to.
Dylan’s gaze darkened. “So, you think I instructed Desmond to sabotage him?”
“You know exactly what I think,” she said, releasing his collar with a look of disdain. “If anything happens to Claude, I won’t hesitate to make you pay.”
