Chapter: 357
Antoni watched the two women disappear through the door of the operating room. About five minutes later, Ailie was wheeled inside.
Antoni sat on the bench on the opposite side of the hall and prayed that his sister would survive the whole ordeal.
“Alice, pass me the surgical tools." Norah calmly walked to the side of the surgical table. She mapped out the process in her mind as she donned her gloves.
"Here you go."
Norah had saved lives under less ideal circumstances. The organization wasn't exactly equipped with all the resources necessary for most of the surgical procedures she had to perform.
Over time, Alice learned all that she needed as a medical assistant by Norah's side. Apart from doing the surgery herself, she was more qualified than most professionals in the field. Alice now stood to the side, ready for whatever Norah would require of her.
ALL was still and silent inside the operating room except for Norah, who was moving with swift and calculated precision, and the muted beeping of the medical equipment that monitored Ailie's vitals in real-time.
The operation was a success, though there was a minor complication, which Norah perfectly handled.
As Norah exited the operating room, Antoni, who had been waiting anxiously, approached her. “How's my sister, Supernatural Doctor?" he asked with concern.
“She's doing well. She just needs some good rest," Norah reassured him.
With a wave of relief washing over him, Antoni expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Supernatural Doctor. Your payment is ready. If you'd please, come with me to the Lounge."
Norah, preferring to keep her much contact from royal entanglements, planned to accept the payment and leave promptly.
The royal family showed their gratitude with a generous check of 20 million dollars for her services, redeemable at any bank in Hander Land.
Just as Norah was about to head out, Antoni caught her attention and said, "Please hold on, Supernatural Doctor. I've got something else I need your help with."
Norah didn't respond. Instead, she gave him a curious look.
"It wasn't easy tracking you down, Supernatural Doctor. I'm hoping you can check on my mother's health. We'll cover the fee," Antoni proposed.
It dawned on Norah that he was referring to the Queen.
Antoni continued, “If you're willing, my mother has promised to grant you a privilege."
He did not specify the content of this privilege, leaving the decision to Norah.
“Supernatural Doctor, my mother assured you that, regardless of your decision, the royal family will respect your wishes," Antoni assured her.
Norah was taken aback by the Queen's even more gracious approach than Antoni's. She agreed, saying, "Okay."
Norah was intrigued by the privilege the Queen might offer.
Antoni led Norah and Alice back to the castle's center.
The Queen was busy with work in her study. Upon hearing from the butler, she paused her work, stood up, and walked to a small room next to her office.
