Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 262

At this point, the girl had basically gone through a full-body blood change. Lydia wanted to give it one more try, and he didn’t refuse. He figured they could look together a little longer. If they still couldn’t find the damaged artery, then they’d move straight to opening the skull.

Dr. Donley, who’d been helping out, was watching them with his heart pounding. He never imagined that, in a situation this dire, these two would still be so patient, carefully searching for the torn artery. One wrong move and the patient could flatline right there on the table.

After what felt like forever, Garrett was just about to suggest the craniotomy again when Lydia suddenly let out a relieved sigh.

“Found it.”

For a second, the whole room froze. Then everyone burst into excitement. They had all thought the girl was just holding on by sheer willpower. No one expected she would actually find it. It was unbelievable. If it had been any of them, they would’ve gone for the craniotomy long ago.

Garrett looked at Lydia differently now, like he’d finally found someone who could keep up with him. There was so much he wanted to say to her, but this wasn’t the time. All he could do was focus on helping her repair the artery, stitching it together with steady hands, making sure the blood would flow like it should.

From there, the rest of the surgery went smoothly. Lydia and Garrett fixed the artery, restored normal blood flow, and carefully stitched and bandaged the area to help it heal and keep out infection. The two of them worked with such skill, focus, and calm that it was almost unreal. Together, they saved a life.

Dr. Donley had never seen such a complex surgery pulled off so perfectly. He followed Lydia out of the operating room, still in awe. “Excuse me,” he asked, trying to sound casual but failing to hide his admiration, “may I ask which hospital you work at?”

Lydia paused for a second. “I don’t have a fixed place,” she said.

Dr. Donley’s eyes lit up. “Would you consider joining us at Mercy Hospital? I can talk to the director and get you a salary three times higher than anyone else’s.”
