Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 554
Juan was under even more pressure now after hearing what Zander had
said. If I talk Rhea out of it, someone will surely say that we refused to try to
save the patient, and our reputation as a doctor will suffer as a result! Also,
what would happen if I allowed her to go for it and the treatment failed to
treat Ms. Lenoir? In light of the earlier threats made by General Lenoir, I
cannot risk my daughter being dragged down!
“I trust him, Dad!” After speaking briefly with her father, Rhea approached
Emmanuel with a flushed face.
Every doctor had to take an oath before practicing medicine, but she realized
today that many doctors had thrown their professional ethics out the window
over time. They eventually lost their initial passion for medicine and became
entangled in greed and fame. Therefore, Emmanuel’s courage and
confidence were like a ray of sunshine in the darkness, profoundly affecting
her. She didn’t want to be a coward like the rest of the people in the room.
How could someone be a doctor if they lacked the courage to try to save the
patient?
“Hi. My name is Rhea Gomez. C–Could I be your assistant?” She looked at
Emmanuel and asked nervously.
Then, he looked into her clear eyes and smiled. “Of course. Come with me,

please!”
Later, she followed him into Claudette’s room.
After seeing this, Laura couldn’t help but chuckle. “General, when all hope is
lost, we must rely on the younger generation!”
Despite this, Adolph remained silent, though his expression was difficult to
read.
In the meantime, the room had all the instruments needed for the surgical
procedure.
After donning a mask and gloves, Emmanuel stretched out his hand and
said, “Scalpel Handle No. 4!”
Rhea wasted no time and quickly placed the scalpel on his palm. While doing
so, she quickly glanced in his direction and noticed that he seemed glowing.
He looks rather handsome! Oh, shoot! Why did that thought pop into my
head? Then, she quickly averted her gaze, and her cheeks reddened.
Nonetheless, his gaze was not on his assistant but on Claudette’s body,
where he swiftly made an incision while keeping his hands steady and
moving precisely!
She was amazed upon witnessing such delicate surgical procedures. This
man in front of me doesn’t look much older than me, so how did he gain so
much surgical experience?

“Increase the dosage of antibiotics!”
“Oh! On it!”
While she was engrossed in the surgical procedures, the man’s voice
snapped her out of her reverie.
“Needle and thread!”
“Got it!”
On the other hand, Rhea was fast on her feet and had lightning reflexes as
she handed the tools to Emmanuel the instant he reached out his hand.
Immediately after, he stopped Claudette’s bleeding by sewing up the wound,
leaving Rhea again in awe. So fast! So steady! So accurate! No wonder Dad
thought so highly of him! He’s a genius!
“Start a blood transfusion for the patient!”
“Oh... Yes!”
Once again, his voice jolted her out of her dazed staring. Oh, dear! I’m in the
middle of surgery! How can I let my attention wander so much? This won’t do!
I must pay attention!
Shortly after, Emmanuel let out a sigh of relief and took off his gloves.
“Is the surgery over, Dr. Lowe?” After saying this, Rhea hastily handed him a
handkerchief to wipe away his sweat.
When he heard this, his gaze turned to the young, attractive woman behind

him. This woman, unlike Sarah, has a pleasant scent, and her bright eyes
make people feel at ease. Maybe that’s why they call them “angels in white“!
“Yeah. It went pretty well. Thanks for your help!”
He meant every word he said, and her contribution could not be overstated.
The degree to which a surgeon and his assistant worked well determined the
operation’s outcome. Despite this being his first time working with her, she
could cooperate effectively with him, so she was certainly up to the task!
