Chapter 553

Chapter 553 “Yes. I’m going to treat Claudette, of course!” Emmanuel declared confidently. Meanwhile, all the medical experts in attendance were thunderstruck by his proclamation. 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 Claudette, 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 declaration. On the other hand, Rhea’s eyes widened in disbelief. Huh! He’s not here for the money? How is he related 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 declared with a wave of his hand. “Deal!” Emmanuel stopped negotiating the terms with him. However, his Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ƒ)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. immediate priority was to save Claudette, 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 blanket 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 Claudette’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 other complications. “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 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 glances, but no one dared to agree to do it. Everyone knew that if they saved Claudette, 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 she lacked the courage to speak up. Nonetheless, 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 it landed 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!“
