That was not much of a surprise.
After all, Michael could not have built such a hospital in San Joto had he come with no background.
Steve’s face looked a little grave while he was thinking of this.
He knew it; there was more to Jared than met the eye.
Meanwhile, Nicole was in the ward, looking on as a doctor was instructing two nurses to do a routine
check on Mr. Riddle Sr., who was hooked up with tubes to some medical instrument.
Nicole leaned casually against the wall as the nurses were doing their job.
She waited for them to finish before asking calmly, “How is his condition?”
Hearing the crisp, bitter voice, the doctor looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and replied
involuntarily,
“He needs surgery as soon as possible because we have observed signs of heart failure.
The coronary instability has caused plaque rupture, affecting the blood supply to the heart.
More delay may affect the normal function of certain parts of the body.
According to our observation, it is likely to be the brain.”
Nicole nodded and asked, “Where’s the location?”
The doctor hesitated as if he did not understand why Nicole wanted to know in such detail.
But he still said, “It’s in the worst probable location.
The occlusion of the left anterior descending branch has caused anterior wall myocardial infarction.
If he does not undergo an operation in time, it will cause extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction,
which is the most serious and dangerous situation.
The right surgeon has to be found within three days to perform the surgery.
Only then the patient has a chance of recovery.” He was afraid that Nicole would not understand the
medical jargon, so he specifically told her how dangerous the condition was.
Nicole nodded gently and thanked the doctor.
She then picked up the stethoscope from the doctor’s instrument tray, put on the medical gloves, put the
stethoscope directly on Mr. Riddle Sr.’s chest, and calmly adjusted the position of the ventilator.
The doctor saw her seemingly chaotic yet professional and skillful technique and became baffled,
wondering if she was not a family member of the patient but a medical student.
A nurse thought Nicole was pretending to be a doctor and could not tolerate it.
She looked on with a sneer and then reached out to snatch the stethoscope from Nicole.
But Nicole’s reaction was ten times faster than the nurse’s hand.
She grabbed the nurse’s arm and blurted out, “Don’t.”
The nurse burst into tears as the force of Nicole’s hand was too much for her.
She quickly nodded at Nicole to signal that she would do nothing.
Only then did Nicole let go of her hand and listen intently to the heartbeat of Mr. Riddle Sr.
After determining his heart rate and strength, she put down the stethoscope and left the ward without
saying a word.
The nurse looked at Nicole from behind and said indignantly, “What is she? She shouldn’t have played
with the medical gear.
She doesn’t respect the doctor at all.”
The doctor pulled back his eyes and stared back at the nurse.
“First, you’re not a doctor, and she didn’t disrespect me.
Second, if I remember it correctly, it

was you who put the ventilator on the patient.
Had she not corrected the tube in time, the oxygen might have flowed in a reverse direction: You know
what would have happened, right? “the doctor said in a stern voice.
The nurse’s face instantly turned pale.
“I-I didn’t mean it.” The doctor did not look at the nurse again.
He conveniently rated an F on her appraisal report.
“Had you not been my sister-in-law, I would have sent you back to school to study another four years,”
he said.
The nurse looked at the F with indignation.
She did not dare to show that on her face but kept saying, “Thank you.
Thank you.” The doctor shook his head helplessly and then left the ward without looking at her face.
After the doctor left, the nurse looked up and clenched her right hand with the slightest look of remorse
on her face.
She had only made a minor mistake, but the doctor reprimanded her so harshly.
She could not understand why he also gave the good-for-nothing girl so high regard.
