Chapter 553

“Yes. I’m going to treat Claudette, of course!” Emmanuel declared confidently.

Meanwhile, all the medical experts in attendance were thunderstruck by his

proclamation. They were aware of Adolph’s daughter’s condition, and since

she was on the brink of death, nothing could be done to save her.

“Is he going to risk his life just for 7.5 million?”

“His greed will be his downfall!”

In the meantime, Rhea admired the man’s courage and self–assurance, but

she was misled by the crowd’s whispers into believing he was doing it for

money.

However, Emmanuel continued, “I am willing to offer up my life in return if I fail

to save Claudette, but if I manage to treat her, I want you, General Lenoir, to

promise me that you will never go against the Quillen family in business ever

again!”

What the heck?! What is going on? Once again, everyone was gob–smacked

by the man’s declaration.

On the other hand, Rhea’s eyes widened in disbelief. Huh! He’s not here for

the money? How is he related to the Quillen family? Why is he willing to risk

his life to resolve the grudge between the two families?

“Hah! If you save my daughter’s life, I’ll immediately stop everything I’ve been

doing, and I won’t engage in any kind of business rivalry with the Quillen

family for the next three years!” Adolph declared with a wave of his hand.

“Deal!” Emmanuel stopped negotiating the terms with him. However, his

immediate priority was to save Claudette, not only to put an end to the feud

between the families but also to repay her for saving his life.

Later, he was brought to her room, where he noticed four nurses caring for

her. As soon as he saw her body, his heart skipped a beat due to her lifeless

face. Then, he swiftly pulled off the blanket to check on her, and his heart

sank further when he discovered that her once beautiful body was showing

signs of decay. However, with the assistance of the machines, she continued

to breathe, albeit barely.

Following a thorough examination of her condition, Emmanuel discovered

that Claudette’s heart rate was extremely abnormal, and he realized that

although surgery had been performed on her bullet wound, it had not been

done well enough. Although he knew that her anatomy was slightly different

from the norm, the surgeons had performed the procedure based on their

prior experience with other patients. Consequently, her heart artery was

blocked, resulting in heart failure and other complications.

“I have to do another surgery at once!” he murmured because he was

confident in his treatment approach. He also knew she would likely die during

the surgery, given her current condition.

As anticipated, the four nurses shrugged and retreated when Emmanuel said

he required assistance.

“I need to perform heart surgery on the patient, and I need someone to help

1. me. Does anyone here have any nursing experience?” Time was of the

essence, so rather than wasting time trying to persuade the four nurses, he

exited the room and asked the other medical experts waiting outside.

When they heard this, everyone hesitated and exchanged glances, but no

one dared to agree to do it. Everyone knew that if they saved Claudette, they

would make a fortune and make a name for themselves, but if they failed,

they might lose their lives.

On the other hand, Rhea’s fists were clenched, and her face was flushed, but

she lacked the courage to speak up.

Nonetheless, Emmanuel was sorely disappointed by their attitudes. Medical

professionals have a professional and ethical obligation to help those in

need, but these doctors are not interested. Then, he swept his eyes across

the crowd, and everyone averted their gaze until it landed on Juan.

In the meantime, Juan felt his eyes on him and sighed in embarrassment.

Still, Emmanuel knew that someone of Juan’s status was not fit to be his

surgical assistant. He was about to turn away when a beautiful young

woman standing beside Juan stepped out of the crowd!

“I’ll help you!”

As soon as the beautiful woman uttered those words, everyone began to

murmur to one another.

“Rhea!” Juan couldn’t help but call out to his daughter, and while he didn’t say

anything else, his expression said it all.

As a long–standing rival in the medical field, Zander advised with phony

sincerity, “You should talk some sense into your daughter, Juan, or otherwise,

all the effort you put into raising her will have been for nothing!“
