Chapter: 355
Norah was calm throughout. The fact that her patient was royalty didn't bother her. She didn't pander to the patient's family, nor did she make a move that suggested subservience. Naturally, Alice did the same. They were both trained to maintain their composure even when they were standing under a hail of bullets. They wouldn't be flustered by something as trivial as attending to people with titles.
Alice stood at the door while Norah examined the patient.
Back when Norah was still active in the organization, she had been their go-to physician. She treated everyone who got injured or contracted a disease during missions and had yet to lose a patient.
No matter how severe their wounds were or how hopeless their condition was, the agents knew that they would be safe as Long as they got back to headquarters.
Norah's medical skills were nothing short of miraculous. Alice had personally witnessed her bringing a patient back from the brink of death.
From then on, Alice decided to dedicate herself to Norah and become her closest friend. After all, with a friend Like Norah, once was basically guaranteed a long and healthy Life.
When Norah walked out of the room, her expression was cold.
Alice approached Norah and asked, "How is it?"
“No biggie. Just a walk in the park." Based on her examination, Norah had figured that only a basic craniotomy was required. It was a procedure that she could perform even with her eyes closed.
Just as one would expect of the Supernatural Doctor. Norah could easily save or take a life with her surgical knife. She was always weighing life against death in her mind, and the only thing that remained constant was her steady hand in between.
“Then it's as good as settled. Why don't we have lunch first? If you require anything for the surgery, now is the time to let the butler know."
The royal family had a special infirmary made within the castle walls.
It was equipped with the most advanced instruments and technological tools, and it was staffed by a group of medical experts. Needless to say, their sole purpose was to monitor and take care of the princess' health. The operating room was already prepared beforehand.
Really, they had only been waiting for the Supernatural Doctor's arrival.
As the butler led them to the dining hall, Norah gave him some last -minute instructions. He assured her that everything would be ready as soon as they finished their meal.
They entered the dining hall to find that half of the long table was filled with the princess' parents and a host of distant relatives.
“Is this the Supernatural Doctor? Why all the secrecy? Why would she want to hide what she looks Like?
"Is she really the Supernatural Doctor? What if she's a fraud? How can she perform the surgery for Ailie?"
“Both of these women look too young to be medical professionals. Have you thoroughly looked into their backgrounds?"
“If anything happens to the princess, you will only have yourselves to blame."
Members of the royal family were usually direct with their speech.
They had no reason to fear speaking their minds. And as Norah and Alice drew closer, they overheard the animated discussion, not that the royal family made any effort to hide it from them.
The butler pulled two chairs back for Norah and Alice and stood back behind their seats to wait for orders. Impeccable service, as expected.
The Queen had a stern face and a domineering aura, and even when she greeted Norah, her words were cold and devoid of any emotion, “Hello, Supernatural Doctor."
