Chapter: 173

"I appreciate your concern, Jamison. But there's no need to persuade me. I've done my research and have confidence in it. Let's schedule the surgery for this afternoon. I'll start rearranging my patients tomorrow," Norah declined firmly. Jamison was unaware that Kason was arranged by her, which had led to his concern.

“Okay, since you're sure about it, I won't push any further." Seeing that his persuasion was falling on deaf ears, Jamison relented. After having Norah in the Cardiac Surgery Department for a while, he understood her character, a quiet force to be reckoned with.

“Here are the materials. Perform the surgery whenever you're ready."

Jamison handed over the materials. "When you do the surgery, take some of the department's doctors with you. Let them observe and learn from you."

Norah nodded. "Sure."

In fact, earlier this morning, Jamison had shown the recording of Norah's yesterday's surgery to the department's doctors for analysis and praised Norah's quick thinking and surgical prowess.

Jolie, seeing Norah return, pulled up a chair beside her, inquiring, "Dr. Wilson, what did Jamison want? Are you doing surgery this afternoon? Can I assist you? Dr. Padilla mentioned that your surgeries are exceptionally skilled, and I'd love to learn from you."

Norah maintained her impassive expression as she organized the items on her desk. “Well, maybe next time. I have one surgery for another department this afternoon, so I can't take you with me."

Jolie probed, “What surgery? Can't I come along to observe and learn?"

“Nope. The arrangements are all set."

Jolie's disappointment was evident in her reply. “Oh, okay. Just remember to take me next time. I'll go do rounds."

Jolie returned to her desk, grabbed the patient records, and left the department.

The nurse had coordinated with Kason regarding the timing of the surgery. Kason arrived at Silver Boulder Private Hospital promptly at 2 p.m.

Inside the ward, Norah saw Kason, already changed into hospital attire.

"Norah, you're here," Kason greeted Norah, settling onto the bed, and complying with the nurse's examination.

"Yeah. Don't worry. The surgery will be quick, and I'll ensure you make a full recovery," Norah reassured him confidently. "You'll be feeling like your old self in no time!"

With her exceptional medical skills, Norah was sure about this when those words escaped her lips.

Kason remained composed. “Thank you, Norah."

As Norah had said, the surgery went smoothly.

To facilitate Kason's tendon recovery, Norah decisively tackled each tendon, repairing them one by one. As the anesthesia began to wear off, Norah watched as the nurse wheeled Kason into a regular ward.

After completing the necessary paperwork and nearing the end of the workday, Norah went to check on Kason's condition. As she entered, she heard Kason murmuring, "Nora, Norah..."

Beside Kason sat a visibly concerned Kaiden, his arm wrapped in bandages.

Hearing movement at the door, Kaiden turned and asked, “Norah, what brings you here?"

“I performed Kason's surgery. I came to check on his progress."
