She hadn’t even reached the ward yet, but Olivia was already
surrounded by a group of old men. They were the pillars of the
medical field.
“Which school did you graduate from, young lady?”
“Who was your mentor?”
“That operation last night was superb!”
All of them were talking at once. It was very chaotic. They also had a gleam of joy and excitement in their eyes.
Joel said with pride, “I told you she could do it. What did all of you
say?”
“Joel, there’s no need to bring up the past. You made the right call. I was scared to death last night.
“Lionel would be finished if Mr. Heath died on the operating table.”
“Young lady, you have great mental fortitude. You managed to keep your cool in such a stressful situation.”
Everyone was praising Olivia, but Rufus didn’t say anything. He didn’t care about all those things. He just wanted to know if Vanessa was
actually Olivia.
That was why he was hesitant to speak when he looked at her.
Then, Olivia said, “My teacher once told me that the operating table is like a battlefield. Saving a life was like taking a life. You had to keep
your hand steady.”
As soon as she said that, Rufus turned to look at her. Their eyes met, and they saw the understanding in each other’s eyes.
That was something Rufus told Olivia before her first operation. Olivia was revealing her identity with that phrase. –
“You still remember that?” Rufus asked, looking straight at her.
Olivia said seriously, “I would never dare forget the words of my teacher. He is one of the most important role models in my life. I’m
very grateful to him.
“But I did something that disappointed him a lot. I think he must have
been devastated.”
“I’m sure he would be very proud of the woman you have become,”
Rufus said excitedly.
The young prodigy that he thought had gone down the wrong path
was back on track.
Everyone else hadn’t caught up yet. “Your teacher must be so happy
to have a student like you. I wonder who he is. Do we know him?”
Olivia smiled but didn’t reply. They would know who she was if she
kept talking.
“Alright, let’s not waste any more of her time. Mr. Heath is still waiting,
for her.”
Joel waved at Olivia and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to him. You’ve accomplished something incredible this time.
“You might even receive a medal of honor. Are you interested in joining our ranks since you’re such a skilled doctor?”
Olivia was taken aback. “Are you saying I should become a
government employee?”
She was offered a governmental position out of nowhere.
They arrived at the door as they finished talking. They were
disinfected before Joel led her into the room.
Ethan and Yale stood further away in the room while Krystal and
Tatiana were by Mason’s side.
Linus still wore a stern expression. He was like Ethan of the past. No
one could tell what he was thinking.
“Father, Vanessa is here. She was the one that turned the tides and
saved your life.”
Mason’s gaze shifted toward Olivia. He was completely different compared to when he was unconscious and when he was on the unconscious and when he was on the
news.
He always had a smile on his face and looked kind when he was on
the news.
He was completely different in person. He was still weakened, but his gaze was sharp. It was like he could peer into her soul.
He was indeed a man of authority. His presence was so commanding
that it made Olivia’s skin crawl.
Olivia stood at the side and greeted him politely. “Mr. Heath.”
Mason beckoned to her and dispelled his intimidating demeanor.
He said with a smile, “No need to stand at attention. The younger generation shows great promise.
“I didn’t expect a young lady to be the one to save me. Come, let me
take a closer look at you.”
