From Ashes to Queen: Now I Call the Shots novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Medical Skills

There was a rare flicker of helplessness in Jasper’s expression.

He raised a hand.

The robot cat suddenly reached out a paw and patted Scarlett on the shoulder.

“Pixel, you’re the partner! A great partner!”

Its eyes turned a soft peach–pink, as if trying to show its affection.

Scarlett couldn’t help but laugh and pulled it into a hug.

“Your understanding skills, forget it. Why am I even arguing with you?”

The robot cat radiated a warm pink glow, making it look even more adorable.

Scarlett’s mood immediately lifted.

Jasper looked up. “So, don’t say things that might confuse it again.”

Scarlett blinked. What did he mean? Did I say something wrong? Something about Mr. Fletcher seemed off. But she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

At the hospital, after nearly a full day of work, John finally sorted through all the complicated cases and put together solutions for each.

The hospital director was so grateful, he nearly dropped to his knees.

He insisted on treating John to a meal.

But John had always been a low–key person who disliked those kinds of social events. He waved him off.

“Let’s skip that. Have Eugene come over, I think he’s got potential. I’d like to chat with him.”

The director was a bit taken aback.

Honestly, he preferred another young doctor over Eugene, someone who was more ambitious.

But John had spoken, so he didn’t argue.

If John really saw something in Eugene, that would certainly affect future promotions within the hospital.

Not long after, Eugene rushed into the office, beaming.

That’s when he noticed the cases in front of John were carefully categorized into several piles.

John had taken off his reading glasses, rubbing his temples from exhaustion.

“John, would you like some tea?”

He hurried off to make some, but John called him back.

John quickly slipped his glasses back on and motioned with a smile.

“Don’t bother with that formality. Come over here. Let’s have a talk.”

Eugene had been hoping for this. He immediately sat across from him, cautiously diving into academic

discussion.

By the end of their conversation, John still felt Eugene’s foundations were shaky;

But at least the young man had the right attitude and a strong desire to improve. More importantly, if Eugene could convince Scarlett to become his apprentice as well, John wouldn’t mind passing down his medical knowledge to him.”

“By the way, John, there’s another case I wanted your opinion on.”

Taking advantage of the moment, Eugene sifted through the pile and pulled out Rebecca’s file, respectfull handing it over.

To avoid complications earlier, Rebecca had been examined under a different name.

So John hadn’t noticed anything strange; he simply reviewed the numbers carefully.

“Professor, I wanted to ask–based on this patient’s current condition, is she eligible for a kidney transplant? And during the surgery, what specific precautions should we take? Also, if you had the time to lead the operation, I’d be extremely grateful.”

John assumed Eugene wanted clinical experience and gently set the case file down, speaking kindly.

“This isn’t a particularly typical case. You’d benefit more from observing more specialized surgeries. As it happens, I’ve scheduled a few in the coming days. You can come along and watch.”

Eugene thanked him, but didn’t let the case go.

“Professor, could you at least walk me through this one? I was thinking of going straight to the transplant, but the patient grew up in the mountains and didn’t have access to proper nutrition. Her body’s weak, and I’m worried complications might arise during surgery, so…”

“Hold on, hold on.”

The more John listened, the more tightly his brows furrowed.

“Wasn’t this patient on the road to recovery? Why are you talking about surgery? Wait–are you saying you’re not the one treating this patient?”

Eugene had no idea what he meant.

But then something clicked. His eyes lit up as he realized something was off.
