Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life
Chapter 558

Dr. Ray's expression was serious. Even with his limited experience in neurosurgery, he knew just how critical the situation was. The nerves were completely obscured; no one would dare make an incision under these conditions.

Dr. Wenz's forehead was slick with cold sweat, his composure shattered. The patient's condition was dire and demanded immediate action. If they didn't operate, the patient would die for sure. But making that incision...

Dr. Wenz's hand, gripping the scalpel, turned white. He wasn't confident about proceeding when he couldn't see what he was doing. As he hesitated, mustering the courage to go ahead, Flora, silent until now, finally spoke up.

"Let me try."

Her voice, cool and composed, cut through the tension in the room. Everyone instinctively turned to look at her. Seeing it was a young woman, eyebrows furrowed in concern.

"Flora, Flora!"

Darcy, startled, stammered and quickly pulled Flora back, signaling her to keep quiet.

"What's up with you, girl!"

Dr. Wenz couldn't help but snap at Flora, his anger surfacing. Couldn't she see how dangerous this was? Why was she adding to the chaos? Even if Dr. Jules himself were here, he might not be confident in success. What made this young woman think she could do it?

Dr. Ray's gaze was intense as he looked at Flora. At first, he too thought she was being reckless and wanted to scold her. But then he remembered her impressive performance at the night market the other day. Flora wasn't one to boast. Besides, she was the apprentice of the esteemed neurosurgeon, Dr. Jules. Jules valued her highly, and given his status as a top expert, Flora's skills must be significant. Biting his lip, as if making a monumental decision, he asked, "Flora, how confident are you?"

"Seventy percent now, but if we delay, it drops to fifty."

Fifty percent...

Dr. Ray bit his lip again. Ideally, it would be best not to drag Flora into this risky situation, but he didn't want to give up on a life so easily. "Alright, go ahead!"

It took a huge internal struggle for him to say that. Flora couldn't help but give Dr. Ray another look, surprised that he would trust her so readily.

As Dr. Ray's words resonated, everyone in the operating room was shocked. Outside, the lab's senior fellows were even more astonished. Holy smokes!

Dr. Ray actually agreed to let Flora lead the surgery!

"What is the professor thinking?!"

They were in a panic. The mayor's dire condition made his survival seem unlikely. If Flora led the surgery and something happened, the responsibility would fall on her and the medical lab. If the mayor's family found out he died under the knife of a nineteen-year-old girl, the entire lab would face severe consequences.

Inside the operating room, the other doctors were stunned by Dr. Ray's boldness.

"Dr. Ray, you..." one doctor murmured, unsure if he understood the consequences of his decision.

"Dr. Wenz, you've lost confidence, haven't you?" Dr. Ray clenched his fists tightly. "Since that's the case, let's let Flora try. If anything happens, our lab will take responsibility."

Dr. Ray's statement was calm and authoritative, though internally, he was more scared than anyone.

Flora, oh Flora, you must succeed. Dr. Jules trusted you so much; your expertise can't be lacking, right?
