Chapter 284: Surgery
Before he could finish speaking, Jared Farrell raised a hand and grabbed his wrist. Though it seemed effortless, Nathaniel felt excruciating pain, as if his bones were about to shatter. Arthur and Hazel’s faces changed instantly, and they angrily shouted, “Jared Farrell! What are you doing? Let him go, you worthless scum! How dare you lay a hand on your cousin? I won’t let you get away with this!”
They rushed forward, trying to pull Jared Farrell away. Just as Jared was about to act, Tina tugged at his sleeve. “Why bother?” she said. These people had repeatedly obstructed them, completely exhausting her patience. She flicked a few silver needles that sealed their acupoints. Before Arthur and Hazel realized what was happening, they found themselves immobilized and unable to speak.
“Annoying,” Tina remarked coldly, looking at them as if they were mere ants, her eyes devoid of any emotion. She handed a life-saving pill to Hayden Cohen and instructed, “Give this to Mr. Lehman. Call Damian over immediately for surgery!” Despite her exceptional skills, she couldn’t perform two surgeries simultaneously. The pill would keep Nathan Lehman alive long enough for Damian to arrive.
“Don’t worry, Serena. I’ll handle it right away!” Hayden replied eagerly. Damian Kinley was a master surgeon; with his help, Nathan Lehman would be in good hands.
After giving her instructions, Tina turned to Jared Farrell and said, “I need an assistant!” Jared immediately made a phone call. Soon after, several people in white coats arrived, led by the hospital director. Seeing Jared Farrell, the director was about to greet him when Jared gave him a look that needed no explanation.
“Miss Reed,” the director addressed Tina respectfully. “Our hospital’s specialists will assist you with the surgery.” Jared had already briefed them on what needed to be done.
Tina quickly sterilized herself and led the team of doctors into the operating room.
“Are you serious? We’re assisting a young girl in such an important surgery?” one doctor whispered.
“Isn’t this too risky? It’s like they’re gambling with the patient’s life!” another added.
Despite their doubts, Tina’s composed and skillful actions soon captured their attention. Her commands were concise: “Hemostat.” “Scalpel.” “Wipe my sweat.” Even while suturing around the heart, her hands remained steady and precise.
The surgery took three hours. When Tina finally emerged from the operating room, members of the Farrell family were growing impatient. The silver needles Tina had used weren’t deeply embedded; soon enough, they regained their mobility.
Arthur immediately confronted Tina. “What did you do to my father?” But before he could continue, the doctors who had assisted Tina surrounded her excitedly.
“Miss Reed, do you have any more surgeries scheduled? Can I observe?”
“Me too! I can assist you; just let me watch!”
After just one surgery, Tina had become a revered figure among them.
Arthur and Hazel exchanged skeptical glances. Could Tina really be that skilled? A young girl who had lived in seclusion for years-how could she impress these renowned doctors?
They didn’t believe in her abilities, especially since Logan was still unconscious; everything remained uncertain.
“You can’t leave!” Arthur blocked Tina again and signaled Nathaniel to step forward. “He’s not awake yet; you can’t just walk away!”
“Exactly,” Clara chimed in. “Waking him up is the real skill!”
“Stop pretending,” Clara added mockingly. “You can’t actually wake Logan up, can you?”
“Move aside!” Tina said impatiently. “I don’t want to repeat myself.”
Her patience was wearing thin, and her expression turned grim. But Nathaniel stubbornly refused to budge. “Grandfather hasn’t woken up; you’re not going anywhere!”
Tina looked expressionlessly at Hayden Cohen beside her and asked, “Are you blind to someone bullying me?”
Hayden Cohen stiffened momentarily before responding firmly, “Anyone who dares bully Serena will have to answer to us.”
Did they think he and his brothers were pushovers? They clearly didn’t know who they were dealing with!
With that declaration, he pulled out his phone and made a call.
Jared Farrell’s brow furrowed deeply! Although he didn’t want those brothers of Tina’s around again, he couldn’t reveal his identity just yet-so their presence might actually help.
But still… Sigh!
Nathaniel watched Hayden Cohen’s actions with a sneer. “Calling for backup? Fine! I’d like to see who you can bring here-there’s no one in Ashbury the Farrell family fears!”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The Farrell family was one of Ashbury’s four major families; even though they’d been declining recently, they still commanded respect.
Hayden Cohen ignored him and waited with Tina nearby.
Soon enough, all of Tina’s brothers arrived at the hospital within half an hour after hearing she was being bullied.
Eight men crowded into the hospital corridor, leaving the Farrell family members stunned.
How could Tina have such powerful allies?
Each of these men was formidable on their own.
Yu Chixuan scanned the room with a cold smile and asked menacingly, “Who dares trouble my Serena?”
Nathaniel shivered under his gaze and shrank back fearfully.
Even though he had been the loudest earlier, now he was like a dog with its tail between its legs.
He recognized some of these men-they were not to be trifled with.
“No one is troubling Tina,” Clara quickly changed her tone and tried to smooth things over. “This is all just a misunderstanding.”
She didn’t know why they called Tina ‘Serena,’ but she knew these men were untouchable-especially while Logan was still unconscious.
“Tina must be exhausted from the surgery,” Vivienne added with a forced smile. “It was all a misunderstanding; why don’t you go rest?”
“A misunderstanding?” Dexter sneered coldly at Vivienne despite her polite words. He showed no signs of calming down as he retorted sharply, “Blocking Serena here-do you call that a misunderstanding?”
