Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 221

Dr. Simpson walked beside Lydia and shot Milana a pointed look. “Mrs. Smith, she will do everything she can for your son. Everyone on the surgical team is committed to helping her. Please, just wait outside and trust us. We need to focus on the surgery, so let’s not waste any more time.”

Dr. Simpson couldn’t stand the way Milana talked, always sounding so sharp and threatening. Did she not realize that if Lydia hadn’t agreed to take on this risky operation, there would be no hope for her son at all?

Instead of being grateful, Milana was acting like this, making all the doctors feel bitter and discouraged.

Milana’s cheeks burned with embarrassment after Dr. Simpson’s words. Deep down, she was just scared that Lydia wasn’t as skilled as everyone said, and that something could go terribly wrong.

She just couldn’t bring herself to trust Lydia.

If Luke weren’t running out of time, she wouldn’t have Lydia be anywhere near the operating room, not even as Miracle Hands’ apprentice.

She was still mad at Mrs. Smith for forcing them to apologize to Lydia. Mrs. Smith couldn’t even get Miracle Hands himself, and now had to swallow her pride and hope for the best. She made a mental note to settle this after the surgery.

Jenson was mortified that Milana would say something like that in front of all the doctors. He stepped forward quickly, trying to smooth things over. “I’m sorry. Truly. My wife is just worried sick. We trust all of you and believe you’ll save our son. Please, we’re counting on you.”

To show he meant it, Jenson bowed deeply to the whole medical team.

Dr. Simpson finally let it go. He looked at Lydia. “Let’s head in.”

Lydia glanced at Jenson and Milana, gave a quiet nod, and followed everyone else into the operating room.

As the doors closed behind them, Jenson turned to Milana and hissed, “Until Luke is better, you need to be respectful to Lydia.”

No matter how they felt about her, they had to face reality. They were the ones begging Lydia for help. If they kept acting this way, why would anyone want to save their son?

Milana knew she’d lost her temper, but she just couldn’t accept that Lydia was Miracle Hands’ apprentice. She kept worrying Lydia wouldn’t give it her all.

“I understand…” she said quietly.
