Chapter: 172

Gil complimented, "You're still as excellent as ever. Jamison came to thank me yesterday. He must be aware of your exceptional talent. I'm afraid it will be much more difficult to have you help me with the surgeries of the Neurosurgery Department moving forward."

Norah took off her surgical cap and modestly said, "I'm flattered. Well, I just have basic medical skills. We can still exchange any medical insights at any time. I guess I only have experienced a bit wider variety of cases than you."

"Norah..." Gil shook his head with a smile. “You're being modest. Ever thought about publishing a few papers? Good for your career, you know?"

"Will do. Might need you to proofread my work by then."

At the door, Jordy rushed up to them. “Dr. Wilson, how is my brother doing?"

Despite the animosity she harbored against Jordy, Norah didn't display it as she dutifully discharged her responsibilities as a physician, updating Jordy on the patient's condition and delivering care directives.

Jordy stood there respectfully, nodding repeatedly. “Dr. Wilson, thank you so much. I'm sorry for letting the arrogance get the better part of me and having uttered those disrespectful words. It won't happen again. I promise."

Norah maintained her poker face, responding coolly, "Alright."

Norah grasped Jordy's polite facade was merely for the benefit of the Andrews family lurking in the background. Without their support, she could have found herself in trouble caused by him and his crew the night they first crossed paths. Jordy was a master of deception.

Norah scoffed. As long as he didn't push her buttons, she was okay, but if he dared, she wouldn't hesitate to clap back!

After wrapping up the surgery, Norah headed back to the Cardiac Surgery Department.

"Dr. Wilson, Jamison wants a word with you," Jolie informed Norah upon the latter's return to the department.

Before reaching her desk, Norah detoured to Jamison's office.

Since the surgery yesterday afternoon, Jamison had assigned Norah four more patients. Norah had the heaviest workload in the department currently, but she found fulfillment in her work and had no qualms about it.

“The Hayes family scheduled a tendon grafting surgery for Mr. Hayes and specifically asked for you. Actually, I don't get why they didn't pick someone from orthopedics instead of insisting on you?" Jamison shared.

Jamison's words were tinged with confusion. Norah was primarily a doctor in the Cardiac Surgery Department, only occasionally lending her expertise to the Neurosurgery Department. He wondered if Norah had any knowledge about tendon grafting. Plus, Mr. Hayes, the head of the Hayes family, had a significant reputation in Glophia. The reason behind the specific requirement of having Norah operate was a puzzle for Jamison.

Norah sighed inwardly at Kason's swift maneuvering. “I have a personal connection with Mr. Hayes. I persuaded him to have the surgery done at Silver Boulder Private Hospital."

Hearing this, Jamison's face lit up with realization. "Ah, I see. But can you handle a tendon grafting surgery? I heard about your stellar performance in the Neurosurgery Department today. You're skilled in cardiac surgery and neurosurgery, but what about orthopedics?"

Norah replied calmly, "I have some knowledge in that area."

Jamison's expression darkened. "What do you mean? If you're not fully confident, why agree to Mr. Hayes' surgery? If anything goes wrong, it could spell trouble for your career. Mr. Hayes is a big shot in Glophia, after all.”

Jamison didn't want Norah to jeopardize her career for a fleeting moment of glory.

Misinterpreting Norah's modesty for incompetence, Jamison continued, “Listen, decline this surgery for him. The orthopedic department at Silver Boulder Private Hospital has competent doctors. It's not worth risking your career. With your medical skills, becoming a shining star in Glophia is just a matter of time."

Amid yesterday's surgery conducted by Norah, Norah's extensive medical knowledge and deft surgical techniques had left a Lasting impression on Jamison.

Norah found it somewhat amusing and touching. Jamison was someone who appreciated talent and genuinely cared about her career.
