Chapter 407 Planning the Wedding

Without Maya and others‘ influence, Athena’s reputation was now excellent.

Athena entered her office. It wasn’t large but looked bright and tidy.

On the windowsill sat a pothos plant, lush and thriving. Besides computer files on the desk, there was also a family photo.

It showed her, Teri, and Zaden.

This was a photo they’d casually taken during a trip to an amusement park. She’d had it printed and placed here.

Seeing Teri every day gave her even more motivation for work.

Athena had always loved Teri. She’d always thought it was because Teri was so well–behaved and sensible. She never imagined it was because she was her own daughter, her real daughter.

She was very satisfied with this life now.

After preparing, Athena began her work for the day.

Her work now no longer meant standing under surgical lights but had shifted behind the scenes.

She was guiding young doctors in designing complex surgical plans, hosting difficult case conferences, teaching her surgical skills and experience through simulation training and video analysis without holding. anything back.

Occasionally, she would also stand in the observation room watching high–difficulty surgeries through the real–time transmission system.

Actually, at the beginning, there had been skeptical voices.

Could a former surgeon who’d left the operating table for years due to injury really handle the role of instructor?

Also, because of Maya’s previous influence, Athena’s reputation had been mediocre. Many people weren’t convinced.

But Athena quickly won everyone’s respect with her solid theoretical foundation and clear logical thinking.

At work, she was gentle and patient, explaining thoroughly, always able to hit the nail on the head when pointing out problems.

Young doctors began affectionately calling her “Professor Hall,” competing to invite her to guide their surgical plans.

This afternoon there was an important simulated surgery teaching session.

Athena needed to arrive early at the teaching center to prepare. She carefully checked the simulation equipment, mentally rehearsing the key points she would explain later.

Although she couldn’t perform delicate operations, she could demonstrate for students or describe

“Professor Hall, could you check if there are any issues with my approach design?” A young doctor came over with a tablet to consult.

Athena took the tablet and carefully examined the 3D reconstruction image.

After pondering for a moment, she made several marks on it with a stylus. “Here, the angle can be adjusted by another five degrees to avoid this variant blood vessel. And here, pay attention to the layers when dissecting…

She explained with concentration, her eyes bright, radiating an intellectual and composed glow.

At this moment, Elijah passed by from outside and couldn’t help but stop to watch Athena.

Elijah was still involved in hospital affairs, and he and Zaden were still in open and covert rivalry. But because Athena and Zaden’s relationship had become increasingly unshakeable, he seemed to have no room to interfere between them.

So he could only back down.

On most days, Zaden would sometimes come to the hospital to pick her up. Occasionally seeing her speaking confidently in the conference room or focusing on giving guidance at the simulator, the corners of his mouth would unconsciously lift.

The woman he loved had never been a clinging vine needing to depend on others.

Even with broken wings, she could still shine brilliantly in her field of expertise. He felt immensely proud of this.

When it was time to get off work, Athena packed up and walked out of the hospital building.

Zaden’s car was already waiting at the entrance. He personally got out to open the car door for her, naturally taking the bag from her hands. “Are you tired?”

“Not bad, very fulfilling.” Athena sat in the car and breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing the satisfaction after a busy day.

The car didn’t head straight home but turned in another direction.

Athena was somewhat puzzled. “Where are we going?”

Zaden showed a mysterious smile. “It’s a secret for now. Let me keep you in suspense, You’ll find out soon.”

Athena was puzzled but still trusted Zaden.

Soon the car arrived at a private haute couture boutique Athena vaguely knew this brand. Although she was a doctor, she hadn’t forgotten to join the high society wives‘ circle. She’d occasionally heard them mention this brand that was well–known in their circle. Many people would come here to order gowns when attending events.

Why did Zaden bring her here?
