Chapter 349
However, Irene was all too willing to receive her punishment because she admired Stephen for his
exceptional ability.
Still, she only managed to clean up the storeroom around 4 p.m.
She was exhausted and did not have lunch, but she did not stop to catch her breath–she wanted to
head home before midnight, and so quickly left to sort the patients‘ files.
Still, Stephen suddenly showed up at the door. “Come with me. Leave that to someone else.”
“Chief.” Irene quickly put down everything and followed.
Stephen may be uptight and demanding, but he was really trying to teach her. He would always bring
her along during his surgeries, and he had her come along this time as well since the patient had an
atypical medical history.
As they entered a patient’s ward, Stephen handed Irene an MRI scan. “What do you see?”
Irene started studying it when someone called out to her.
“Irene Spencer?”
She turned to find Harvey Gooding standing by the patient’s bed, and asked in surprise, “Why are you
here?
“That’s my mother,” he said.
As Irene turned toward the woman lying in bed, Harvey continued, “I heard that Dr. Spencer is a
specialist on heart disease, so I brought her here.”
Irene understood then, and turned back to the MRI scan. “Ventricular fibrillation and aortic stenosis,
leading to heart failure. It’s potentially dangerous.”
Stephen nodded in satisfaction–her observation was quick and precise. “I suggest an operation as
soon as possible,” he told the patient, “or there would be danger if this is allowed to continue.”
“What are her chances, doctor?” Harvey asked.
“Fifty–fifty.”
Harvey was clearly dissatisfied with that answer. That would be no different from flipping a coin!
“The odds may swing either way, but she won’t survive if she doesn’t take the surgery at all,” Stephen
calmly said. “You can think about it, but don’t take too long–there are no other options given your
mother’s condition.”
With that, he left with Irene, and suddenly asked as they strode along the walkway, “What do you think.
about this surgery?”
“It would be ideal if she undergoes it as soon as possible,” Irene answered without hesitation.
“Ventricular fibrillation is potentially dangerous already, but with aortic stenosis as well, that’s a heart
failure at any
moment.”
Stephen nodded. “Good. Are you acquainted with the patient’s family?”
Irene nodded. “Yes.”
‘Make it very clear to him, if he asks.”
Irene knew that. “I will.”
“Irene?” Harvey called out, suddenly appearing behind them..
Stephen seemed to have expected that and said flatly, “Go on.”
Irene nodded and walked toward Harvey, saying, “Shall we talk somewhere else?”
Harvey was certainly willing since he had questions, and they headed to the small garden behind the
hospital, which was a good spot.
Staring at Irene for a while, he then asked, “I need you to be honest… Can we keep the surgery risk–
free?” Irene shook her head right then. “No.”
“Look, my father has passed away, and it’s just me and my mom. She’s very important to me, and even
though I get annoyed with her sometimes because she’s very stern, I understand that it’s for my own
good.
This was the first time Harvey had ever laid bare his soul and spoken about his family, and Irene
certainly understood. Even so, she said, “If you want her to stay with you, the surgery is your best
option. I’m sure you came because you heard about Stephen, and I think you can definitely trust him.”
Harvey stared at her for a while at that and Irene became uncomfortable, so she excused herself,
saying, ” I still have work to do. I need to go.”
Harvey caught her wrist. “Could you stay with me for a while?”
Irene refused and tried to shake him off. “I still have work to do.”
Harvey was going to let go, but tightened his hold when he saw a certain man approaching and pulled
her into his arms!
