Chapter 121: Surgical Prowess and Hidden Jealousy

(God’s POV)

Elena and her surgical team were fully focused on performing the carotid endarterectomy for Mr. Hunter in the operating theater. She made the incision swiftly, cutting the skin along the anterior border of the

sternocleidomastoid muscle.

She separated the subcutaneous tissue layer by layer to expose the carotid bifurcation. She didn’t even need additional instruments to expose the subcutaneous tissue, managing to longitudinally incise the vessel wall without damaging the vagus nerve, hypoglossal nerve, or the superior thyroid artery.

Under the microscope enhanced with moonlight herb–infused solutions for werewolf physiology, she thoroughly dissected the plaque and intimal tissue. The team members, working with her for the first time,

were equally astonished by her “blind knife” technique.

Even the senior healers in the institute with over a decade of surgical experience wouldn’t dare to make such a decisive cut.

“Pay attention to blood pressure control,” Elena said without looking up.

The nurse and anesthesiologist beside her stared at the monitors, not daring to lose focus for a second. They feared that a fluctuation in blood pressure would lead to complications in werewolf patients.

The nurse smiled and replied, “The surgery was successful, but there will be some post–operative

complications typical for werewolf patients. He’ll need to be observed in the ICU for three days with

moonlight herb treatments before being transferred to a regular ward.”

Relieved, Mrs. Hunter said, “As long as the surgery was a success, that’s all that matters.”

Just as Elena walked out of the operating theater and Mrs. Hunter was about to thank her, Lisa Hunter,

standing not far away, glanced at Elena and guiltily looked away. At that exact moment, Hugo Ashworth

arrived with two pack security officers, walking straight towards them.

Before Elena could react, an officer asked, “Excuse me, who is Lisa Hunter?”

Lisa’s face turned pale. Her mother, Mrs. Hunter, interjected, “That’s my daughter. Officer, my daughter hasn’t done anything wrong! What happened?”
