Chapter: 833

“Luna, snap out of it.”

Luna covered her cheek, tears streaming down her face. “Why did you slap me?"

She broke down, crying again. "Shayla is dying. Just save her, and I'll accept any punishment you think I deserve."

Norah was at a loss for words and gestured to the nurse.

"Assist me."

Seeing Luna start to cry again, Norah delivered another firm slap and met her gaze with calm authority. "Pull yourself together. You're Shayla's mother, her main support. She'll need you strong when she recovers."

With that, Norah headed into the building to check Shayla's condition.

Luna quickly grasped Norah's intent. Was this Norah's commitment to treating Shayla?

The nurse offered her arm for support. "Ma'am, Dr. Wilson's medical skills are among the best. Your child will be in good hands."

Shayla's condition was dire. She had multiple fractures and potentially severe brain trauma from the fall.

The doctor who took over announced urgently, "The patient's condition is critical. We need to start surgery right away!"

Choosing the right surgeon for such a complex case was crucial. They needed a highly skilled doctor for the surgery.

“Where is Gil? Get him here."

“He's still in surgery and hasn't finished yet."

"Contact the other neurosurgeons and have them come for the surgery as soon as possible.”

Norah confidently stepped forward, indicating her readiness to lead the operation. Aware of the hospital gossip surrounding Norah, a male doctor hesitated and cautioned her.

"Dr. Wilson, I recognize that you're the attending physician in the Cardiac Surgery Department and have a broad surgical background, but neurosurgery is particularly challenging. It demands a deep understanding of neuroanatomy, and the clinical expertise and ethical standards required are stringent. It's not a specialty where one can simply step in."

“But I am qualified." Norah presented her credentials, with the title “Certified Neurosurgeon" prominently displayed.

"You're a certified neurosurgeon?"

The male doctor was astounded. To his knowledge, Norah worked as a doctor in the Cardiac Surgery Department. He never realized she was also skilled in neurosurgery!

"Yes." Norah tucked away her credentials. "The patient needs us now.

We can discuss this later."

She chose not to elaborate further. Entering the operating room, she prepared by changing and disinfecting herself. Everything was set inside. With a clear mind, she began the surgery.

Luna was sitting outside the operating room, her tears falling uncontrollably.
