The operation was ultimately successful after several hours in progress. Yet, the unfortunate man was still not out of critical condition. He remained unconscious, reliant on various machines to sustain his life.
Team 5 felt thoroughly exhausted after managing this procedure, all but Disha. Despite this being the most difficult case Aresha had ever encountered. Nevertheless, Disha managed to complete it with remarkable proficiency.
Once the operation was over, Anna, Disha, and two other colleagues emerged from the surgery room. Anna and Disha walked at the rear, discreetly switching back their business cards to their original state.
No longer trading roles.
"Mom is so proud of you, sweetheart," Anna whispered to her child, not wanting others to overhear. Considering the necessity to keep her child's identity securely concealed. Yet Anna could not veil her immense pride in her only child.
Disha simply nodded slightly, silent. The delicate nature of their relationship was sustained by circumstances, due to the threats to Disha's safety.
Anna also felt a profound sense of guilt for having placed her child in such a situation, forced to live as though not part of either the Dude or Walker families.
But in place of carrying the weight of their family's prominent name, Anna prioritized the safety of her child above all else.
Exiting the operating theatre, they were immediately confronted by Samuel, his gaze filled with hope.
"How is it, doc? How did the surgery go? How is my employer doing?" Samuel inquired impatiently.
Anna then carefully removed her mask before replying.
"The surgery went well; the patient will soon be moved to a recovery room," Anna explained, her authoritative presence undiminished by age. Anna’s gaze always managed to elicit submission from others.
Upon hearing the doctor's update, Samuel exhaled a sigh of relief. Rayden Carter's life was as precious as his own, and he would do anything for the wellbeing of his employer.
News of the successful surgery quickly spread throughout the hospital. The rest of the surgical team heard it as well. Rafaela and Dena, upon catching wind of the news, clicked their tongues in frustration.
Of course the surgery had been a success; it was Doctor Anna at the helm. If it had not been for Anna, Rafaela was certain Team 5 would not have succeeded.
It was all just luck.
Another surprising piece of news soon began to circulate: the critically ill man was no ordinary person. He was Rayden Carter, CEO of Carter Kingdom, the city’s most influential property company.
This revelation caused an uproar across the hospital, as nobody expected such an important figure to be treated there in critical condition.
Rumors that Team 5 would receive a substantial reward for successfully performing the surgery started to surface, a rumor that provoked Rafaela’s envy. She wished she could turn back time and have her team perform the surgery.
But realizing that time could not be rewound, Rafaela could only vent her frustration on that nerdy girl.
As Disha rested in her room, the door was abruptly flung open, and in strode Rafaela and Dena.
Bang! Rafaela slammed Aresha’s desk with force, echoing the irritation in her heart.
Disha remained silent, gazing at the two women with an indifferent expression.
"Don’t get conceited just because your team managed the surgery! If not for Doctor Anna, your team would have surely failed!" Rafaela declared with a venomous look.
"Do you even know who the VIP patient is? He’s Rayden Carter. A village girl like you has no right to be responsible for him," Rafaela raged further.
"So go now, find Doctor Anna and tell her you refuse to care for that patient again! Understand!!" She threatened, pointing her index finger directly at Disha’s face.
It was time for Team 5 to step aside, for her team to step up and take charge.
"Just a nerd!" Dena added insultingly.
Both women then smirked maliciously, their snickers filled with derision.
