The sentence left everyone in the room stunned.

“Come on, Grandpa, you’re pulling my leg, right? Audrey as your teacher?” Shawn exclaimed, incredulous at Aaron’s words. ‘It’s too unbelievable. The person we’ve been eagerly awaiting turns out to be Audrey?‘ he pondered, his mind reeling with disbelief and confusion.

“You disrespectful boy! Is that how you talk to my teacher? Show some respect!” Aaron scolded.

Shawn remained silent, seriously questioning whether his grandpa had lost his mind or if this was all some kind of joke.

The others in the room also voiced their doubts, “Aaron, could there be a mistake? How could Ms. Hernandez be your teacher?”

“Samuel’s health is precious. How can you entrust it to a young girl who knows nothing?”

“Exactly, Aaron. Ms. Hernandez is so young and she didn’t even study medicine. How could she possibly perform surgery? This must be a mistake.”

Audrey remained unfazed by the questioning looks and words from the others. She walked forward, her tone calm and indifferent. “What’s the status?”

“All indicators are normal. We can proceed with the surgery,” Aaron replied, handing over the medical record he held. It contained the results of the preoperative tests done that morning.

Audrey glanced at the data, her expression serious and focused. “We can proceed. It’s manageable.”

Hearing her words, Aaron sighed in relief and smiled at the Roscente family. “I understand your doubts, but rest assured. I’m willing to bet my life on it. If my teacher says there’s a 90% chance, then Samuel will be fine.” He knew that Audrey’s youth made her appear less credible.

Despite Aaron’s reassurance, Andrew looked at Audrey with concern and explained, “Ms. Hernandez, please forgive us, but we can’t entrust my grandfather’s life to you. We can’t take that risk.”

“Andrew, if someone other than my teacher performs the surgery, your grandfather won’t last two more months. Consider that carefully,” Aaron reminded, his brow

furrowed.

“I understand, but I still can’t trust Ms. Hernandez with my grandfather’s life. We can’t take that gamble,” Andrew responded firmly.

Aaron furrowed his brows, but Audrey fixed her cold gaze on Andrew. “If you don’t trust me, you’re welcome to join us in the operating room,” she said, her voice unwavering.

Andrew frowned, deep in thought. At that moment, Dylan, who had been silent, spoke up. “Let her proceed.”

His tone remained cold and indifferent, yet it exuded innate authority. His intense, unwavering gaze stayed fixed on Audrey’s face, betraying a curiosity about when she had acquired her medical skills.

With Dylan’s decision, the Roscente family had no further objections. Audrey didn’t spare Dylan a glance. “Ron, get ready for surgery.”

“Yes, teacher,” Aaron replied promptly.

Cade couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of the young woman addressing Aaron as Ron. Shawn shot a cold glare at Cade. He still couldn’t grasp how Audrey had assumed the role of his grandfather’s teacher.

Shortly after, Audrey and the others entered the operating room.

Dylan pressed his lips together, dark eyes brimming with inscrutable thoughts. His

impassive face betrayed no emotion as he stared in the direction Audrey had

disappeared. “Seven years ago, Audrey had no medical skills whatsoever. What could

have caused such a drastic change in her?” he wondered.

In the operating room.

Everyone had changed into sterile surgical gowns. Aaron had everything prepared, with surgical instruments neatly arranged on the left side.

Audrey put on her sterile gloves and approached the operating table, checking the patient’s vital signs. With a steady hand, she grasped the cold surgical knife and proceeded with methodical precision.

Andrew, who had known Audrey for years, remembered her primarily as the arrogant heiress of the Hernandez family who relentlessly pursued Dylan. Her infatuation with Dylan was an open secret in Northville’s high society.

This was the first time Andrew had seen this side of Audrey–serious, meticulous, and dedicated. He wondered, ‘What had transformed the infamous, once–disgraced heiress. of the Hernandez family?”

The surgery lasted four hours. Afterwards, Audrey delegated the finishing tasks to Aaron. “The surgery was successful. Monitor him for an hour before transferring him to the recovery room. Keep a close watch on his postoperative condition,” Audrey instructed.

Aaron nodded, still exhilarated by what he had witnessed. Every surgery performed by Audrey felt like an intense battle against death, thrilling and gripping.

The four–hour surgery had left Audrey slightly fatigued. “Thank you,” Andrew said. sincerely, relieved by the successful outcome.

“Transfer two million dollars to my account, Audrey replied coldly, glancing at Andrew.

“Of course,” Andrew agreed without hesitation.

Back in the hospital room, Andrew informed his family of the successful surgery, finally allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Andrew, was it really Audrey who performed the surgery?” Cade asked, still in disbelief that the once–spoiled heiress possessed such skills.

Even after witnessing it firsthand, Andrew found it hard to believe that the decisive, skilled surgeon was indeed Audrey. “Yes,” Andrew confirmed, then glanced at Dylan. Regardless of Audrey’s motives for saving his grandfather, the Roscente family owed her a tremendous debt.

“Where is she?” Dylan’s voice was cold as his intense gaze fixed on Andrew.

“She went to Aaron’s office,” Andrew replied.

Dylan found Audrey in the director’s office. As he entered, her already icy expression grew even colder.

“Why did you hang up on

“Let’s have dinner later,” Dylan said, unfazed by her coldness.

“No time, Audrey declined flatly.

Dylan almost laughed in exasperation at her response. “You’re going to eat with me, whether you like it or not,” he declared coldlyThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
