Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 158 Legendary Deft Hands

could count on if I had zero faith in you.”Many doctors and nurses were willing to assist him, but Arius had a much higher expectation of his assistant since it was an intricate surgery.After much deliberation, Arius thought Sophie was the only one qualified to perform this procedure with him!“Arius, people would think you’re putting the patient at risk.” Sophie might be familiar with the surgery, but she had neither received formal training in medical school nor obtained any certificates.“Do you think I care about what others would say? I have confidence in you, Sophie. And I believe you will one day supersede me and become the best surgeon. Being the top surgeon in the country can be quite lonely, and I think it’s time for you to take over the title. What do you think?”His remark rendered Sophie speechless.More than twenty doctors overheard their conversation outside, and their mouths twitched. Why does he think so highly of that young lady?All of them expressed interest in training under Arius, yet the genius doctor ignored them and gave preferential treatment to this eighteen-year-old. What logic is this?“What if Dr. Gullifer made a wrong judgment about her? She’s just a young lady. Can she actually do this?”They were all experienced doctors who had carried out hundreds of medical procedures. Are we no match for this teenage girl?One of the doctors turned to the director and raised his concern. “Can we trust this young lady? The person lying on the operating table is not an ordinary patient…”If anything goes south, everyone in the hospital will be in deep trouble.All these doctors had worked hard throughout their careers to get to where they were. Our careers will be over if the surgery fails! We can’t allow this to happen!The director, who sat in the middle, kept mum and did not respond to the doctors’ concerns.“Keep quiet. The surgery is about to start.” The director had faith in Arius. He believed his most competent disciple would surpass his own achievements.Likewise, the director dared not underestimate Sophie too. After all, Arius was the one who brought her to the hospital.Arius might seem unreliable, but he would not take any surgeries lightly. Moreover, he would also meticulously explore all the options before making the best decision on a medical procedure.Since Arius requested Sophie to join him in the operating room, the director had high hopes for the young lady.“But they might put our future in jeopardy!” There were still doctors who were not willing to accept the fact that Arius was better than them. The doctor who made that remark felt that the Chanaeans had over-glorified Arius. We know he made it into the international medical association. So what? What’s the big deal?“Oh, shut up! Why don’t you take over if you think Arius can’t do it? The man lying on the operating table was initially your patient anyway!”The doctor immediately kept mum.“Those who want to watch the procedure, zip it. Those who aren’t interested, feel free to leave right now.” The director shot daggers at the doctors. It took me some time to bring Arius over and arrange this live demonstration for them, yet all they do is complain!As soon as the surgery began, the doctors who doubted Arius were stunned the moment he made a perfect incision on the patient’s body. He indeed has a pair of deft hands that work wonders!While everyone was still astonished by the demonstration, Sophie had also made a flawless surgical incision in the patient’s heart under Arius’ guidance. All the experts could not help but gasp when they saw what she had done.“Here. Make an incision here,” Arius instructed. Taking a glance at the spot he pointed, Sophie made another precise cut.“Oh, my God! My eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, are they?” At first, these doctors thought Arius merely brought this young lady into the operating room because he wanted to impress her, but when she made the incision, they were taken aback by Sophie’s skills.The director, too, could
