Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Chapter 559

She has a strong presence! The only other person who's this oppressive is Vinson Nightshire.

The other doctors exchanged looks before turning to Zachary, signaling him to make the decision of who would head the surgery.

Zachary hesitated briefly before making up his mind. "You can head the surgery."

Though it was a simple surgery, if something were to happen and that expensive pacemaker went to waste, his career would be ruined.

After all, the chief surgeon would have to bear the most responsibility. Now that someone was here to bear the load on his behalf, there was no harm in giving up the position to her.

If she successfully implants the pacemaker, my name will still be on the record. No matter if the surgery succeeds or fails, I'll still end up reaping all the benefits. I should've thought of this earlier! Without hesitation, he gave up his position to Arielle and stood aside, doing nothing.

As he had already made up his mind, the other doctors said nothing and proceeded to examine the device according to the instruction manual.

Though the manual was in Ustranasion, they had studied overseas and could somewhat understand it.

Meanwhile, Arielle had already made the marks on the patient's body. She reached her hand out and said, "Scalpel!"

The surgical assistant wasn't used to working with her, but he still gave her the equipment she needed.

"Gauze!"

"Hemostat!"

"Forceps!"

The surgery went on smoothly under Arielle's direction.

Next to her, Zachary's eyes rounded in surprise.

Arielle was swift and precise, as though she was an experienced doctor.

She looks younger than Queenie. How many surgeries has she done to be this experienced? Besides, it takes years to graduate from a medical program. She's too young to be an experienced chief surgeon. Zachary had the necessary connections and was talented, but he didn't get many opportunities to join complicated surgeries like this when he was her age.

He clamped his mouth shut and watched as Arielle operated on the patient.

Soon, an incision was made on the chest.

Arielle uttered, "Pacemaker."

A doctor handed the tiny robotic pacemaker to her carefully.

Parting his lips, Zachary read out the manual, which he knew by heart. "Click on the green button. Then-"

Before he could finish, he saw Arielle clicking on several buttons on the robotic pacemaker before connecting one lead wire to the patient's heart chamber. After attaching the other end to the generator, she then slipped the pacemaker under the skin through the incision just below the collarbone.

The whole procedure took less than twenty seconds.

Twenty seconds! Even if I memorized the entire manual, I couldn't be as fast as her! Only someone that understands the device inside out and has plenty of experience in handling it can achieve that. Did she succeed?

The initially dormant line on the ECG machine started spiking from zero to a normal heart rate.

"It worked!" a doctor blurted out excitedly.

Arielle replied nonchalantly. "All right. Stitch this up!"
