Chapter: 533

After all, Supernatural Doctor was a figure of immense admiration for anyone familiar with her medical expertise. The thought of her being in their midst sparked a thrill that was hard to contain.

Shelton's reaction to Sheri's indiscretion was swift and severe. He grabbed her wrist firmly, his voice laced with anger. "Sheri, I expressly told you to keep quiet about Supernatural Doctor's presence!"

Sheri's response was evasive, a thinly veiled attempt at justification. "I was just concerned about Doug, and so was everyone else. Sharing the news seemed like it might help us all stay focused."

But her true motive was different. Sheri was well aware of the admiration many at the institute held for Supernatural Doctor. By spreading the news, she aimed to draw a crowd, hoping to overwhelm Norah with attention and scrutiny to see whether Norah was indeed the Supernatural Doctor.

As word spread, researchers flocked to see Norah, crowding around her so closely that escape seemed impossible for her.

Even Doug, overwhelmed by his discomfort, perked up at the mention of Supernatural Doctor. "Is it true? Are you Supernatural Doctor?"

Hope flickered in Doug's eyes, clinging to the possibility that his hand could be saved. Supernatural Doctor's reputation for unparalleled medical prowess was known far and wide.

Norah, unfazed, glanced at Sheri, who was evasively looking away next to Shelton, seeing through her intentions. "Yes. Relax," she said calmly.

Upon assessing Doug's injury, Norah determined that surgery in an operating room was essential.

She retrieved a porcelain bottle from her bag and dusted Doug's wound with Rejuvenation Powder. As the researchers looked on in astonishment, the bleeding ceased.

“What did she just use? How did the bleeding stop so suddenly?" they wondered aloud, marveling at the apparent miracle.

“Could it really be just medicinal powder? What kind of medicine is that?"

The crowd was buzzing with questions, intrigued by the efficacy of the powder Norah had applied.

Sheri observed the unfolding scene, her interest piqued. Though she hadn't witnessed Supernatural Doctor's medical prowess before, the effectiveness of the medicinal powder was undeniable.

"The lab conditions aren't suitable. He requires surgery," Norah informed Shelton, standing up.

Given her medical experience, Norah was aware that the typical outcome in hospitals for such severe injuries might involve amputation, especially since only a thin piece of tissue was holding Doug's hand together, and the hospital lacked the technology for such a complex reattachment.

Doug, filled with hope, turned to Norah. "Supernatural Doctor, is there a chance to save my hand?"

"In a regular hospital, the outlook wouldn't be good," Norah replied honestly.

Shelton, after a sharp look at Sheri, moved closer to Norah to inquire further, “And what about under your care, Supernatural Doctor?"

Norah hesitated. "It depends on whether the hospital would allow me to lead the operation."

Shelton, realizing the hurdle was administrative rather than medical, let out a relieved breath. "That won't be an issue. I'll make the arrangements."

Shelton, wielding his authority as the institute's director, ensured he could make such decisions.

Just as they were discussing this, news came that the ambulance had arrived. Without delay, Shelton escorted Norah outside, while the medical team prepared Doug for transport.

Sheri watched them leave, a shadow crossing her features. If Norah, the Supernatural Doctor, failed to heal Doug's hand, Sheri wouldn't hesitate to spread tales of Norah's failure in living up to her name across medical forums. In Sheri's mind, if Norah lacked the prowess her title suggested, it would only be fitting for Norah to face embarrassment.
