Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 158 Legendary Deft Hands

he caught up with Arius.Constance’s legs weakened after she heard that, and she staggered a couple of times, only managing to steady herself by clinging to the railing next to her.She knew she had offended Arius. Would Dr. Gullifer still help us?Despite learning the truth about Arius, Constance refused to leave. She wanted to be there for Mason since there would be a high chance of him regaining the ability to walk.She would do anything for Arius so long as he was willing to operate on Mason. I’ll even drop to my knees before him if he wants me to! I’ll do anything as long as he can heal my son’s leg!Constance was overwhelmed by mixed emotions. The doctor she had been hunting high and low for had finally appeared, but he turned out to be the man she had offended.It was a hard pill to swallow.While Sophie and Arius were in the operating room, the rest of the people could only watch the live stream of the procedure from another room.Sophie glanced at Arius when she saw no other surgeons and nurses in the operating room.“Looks like you have a lot of faith in me, huh?” Sophie said. She was concerned since the man lying on the operating table was a high-ranking official, and his survival would affect the life and death of many people.Arius chuckled while putting on a pair of surgical gloves. “In this world, you’re the only one I trust. There would be no one else I 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
