While that meant Winter could not handleplicated cases and could not refine pills, her knowledge of acupoints, massaging, and skill with acupuncture could handle most of everything, albeit less effective than Frank could.
After all, people like Frank who mastered both martial arts and medicine were a rarity.
On the other hand, Paco was taken aback that Winter ignorantly took the scalpel, though he was soonughing along with his assistants.
The surgical wing was a ce of solemnity, and they were ruining it.
"Wait, chief." Paco smirked even as he walked up to Winter. "It''s not like I''m belittling you, but you just graduated from university and did not go through your internship. This is your first time taking the scalpel, right?"
Winter nodded tamely and did not argue.
"Pfft..."
Paco stifled augh, while his assistantsughed out loud.
They were all elites here in Zamri Hospital, and all the qualified doctors were getting swamped with the sharp increase of patients.
It was how he had an excuse to have Winter take the scalpel.
"Look, chief—I don''t know what your connection to Gene Pearce is, but this surgery isn''t your typical case!"
Paco winked at Winter pointedly-from his point of view, a child like her who had just graduated was appointed chief? Who would believe her if she said she did not have an affair with Gene Pearce? Everyone else thought so too, and it was a deliberate attempt of harassment when they had her take the case.
They would make an example of her, so that Gene would see reality and take her away already.
This was Zamri Hospital, where individual ability mattered, especially if one wanted to be chief.
Still, it was now an entirely different matter since Winter took the case without flinching.
It would be a major feat if she seeded, and the Soranos of Morhen would be grateful to their hospital.
And the Soranos of Morhen''s gratitude would certainly be worth a lot of money!
On the other hand, if Winter failed, Zamri Hospital would be at fault.
While there was no guarantees when it came to saving lives, the Soranosmanded great influence.
Even if they would not press
charges, they would be
prejudiced against them, and th
presiding surgeon would have to
give up their career in medicine.
That was why Paco shadily lured Winter into taking the scalpel.
Even if she refused to take the case, he could go public, making it known across Zamri that Gene had
installed his lover as the chief of
Zamri Hospital. én.swnovels
It was a sacred ce, and the news would undoubtedly invoke unrest.
Eventually, Gene would be overwhelmed by pressure to find another chief.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
And being the most respected doctor in the building and being the most senior, it was the perfect opportunity for Paco to take over.
He was also positive that if Winter
proved to be stupid enough to take the case, she had no chance of saving Gus Zeller since she had just graduated.
Soon, the Soranos would definitelye after Gene.
