The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 200

Seeing the figure sprawled out on the hospital bed, Noella furrowed her brow.

Calvin’s face lit up with hope upon spotting Noella!

The patient was in critical condition, but he remembered Noella’s paper was about the very research on the symptoms now manifesting before them.

Noella glanced at Palmer and passed the sandwich Ulrich had handed her to Palmer’s waiting hands.

“Be back in a jiffy.”

“Sure thing.”

Palmer knew she’d dive into the fray, so a faint smile played on his lips.

Donning surgical scrubs, Noella followed Calvin into the ER.

“Take a gander, he’s got what looks like a problem in his aortic dissection. The inner layer of the aorta’s torn, and it’s a Type A. Guy’s passing out and bleeding massively from the dissection, and they didn’t even dare do CPR on the way here. We’ve got to operate now, and honestly, even I’ve only got a thirty percent shot at pulling this off.”

Noella nodded. She grasped the gravity of the situation and looked up at Calvin with a serious tone, “I’ll take over, just sign the consent.”

Calvin gritted his teeth. He knew there was no time to waver, thus quickly stepping aside

for Noella.

“Let’s get anesthesia going and prep for surgery!” Seeing the hesitant looks from the other doctors, Calvin asserted firmly, “I’m in charge! We’re all backing Noella on this!”

With Calvin’s word and the urgency of the patient’s condition, the ER buzzed to action.

Two hours later.

The assisting doctor wiped the sweat from Noella’s forehead with awe at her steady

hand.

No wonder Professor Calvin had insisted on her for the operation. Her skill was rare even among seasoned surgical experts!

Noella exhaled a sigh of relief, “The surgery went well, but we need to monitor closely for complications like renal failure.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll inform the family.” Calvin affirmed.
