Chapter 22
Layla immediately let out a scoff
What she didn’t realize was that her laugh sounded completely out of place in front of the emergency room, drawing puzzled frowns from several doctors and nurses who glanced at her.
Layla, oblivious to their stares, turned her mocking gaze on Isis “Surgery? You make it sound so easy! Let me give you a little reality check!
“This patient is elderly and suffering from severe heart failure. His heart disease has been ongoing for years, and he’s had multiple surgeries. His heart is in such bad shape, it’s practically falling apart
“It couldn’t handle even the smallest incision! In this situation, I can confidently say that there isn’t a single doctor in this country who would dare perform surgery on him!”
Layla’s voice rang out with certainty. She thought, ‘Even I wouldn’t risk operating on Samuel, let alone someone like Isis, who knows nothing at all.”
She was sure that his would be too embarrassed to speak after hearing her, but to her surprise, Isis simply looked her in the eye and said two words. I dare
The room fell silent instantly.
Robert studied her carefully, his gaze lingering as if he found something vaguely familiar about her, but no matter how he looked at her, she was just an inexperienced young girl. He thought. How could she possibly be so bold?”
Adrian’s jaw practically hat the floor. He thought, Does his even know what she is saying! Is she crazy? She dares to perform surgery! She probably hasn’t even seen a scalpel in her life!
Layla, after a brief moment of stunned silence, burst out laughing. “Hi Do you even know what you’re saying You dare! Do you even know what
surgery is?
“Do you know where the heart is? Do you think a scalpel is just a kitchen knife you use to chop vegetables? Stop making a fool of yourself!”
She thought. Honestly, how could anyone be as clueless and foolish as laid?”
With that, Layla wiped the smile from her face, adopting a cold, aloof expression. “Alright, enough of this nonsense. Get out of here and stop getting in the way of us saving this patient!”
She turned to Roben. Dr. Campbell, the patient’s heart could stop at any moment. We need to administer the heart stimulant right away.
Robert sighed in resignation. It seemed like they had no other choice. He wondered. Could we really trust this naive girl who has just appeared our of nowhere!
Just as he was about to give the go–ahead, someone suddenly shouted, “Mr. Carter is here?
Robert’s expression instantly softened with relief. He thought. “Mr. Carter has finally arrived? This is great n
news!
Samuel will be alive long enough to
Isis raised an eyebrow. She thought, “Mr. Carter! Isn’t that my employer for the day?
She turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw a tall man in a black trench coat striding toward them, flanked by a group of
bodyguards.
He had a long, commanding figure and a sharp, cold face that radiated an aura of power–one that made it clear he was not someone you approached lightly.
She thought. Is this the ruthless and domineering head of the Carter family that Athena has told me about!
Isas suddenly realized the patient they’d been discussing must be none other than Samuel from the Carter family, the very one she was supposed to treat today.
Julian walked toward them with a chilling, distant gaze. As his eyes landed on Isis, his expression briefly faltered, as though something stirred beneath the surface.
At that moment, Robert hurried forward, his voice urgent. “Mr. Carter, you’ve arrived just in time! Samuel’s condition is critical and we were about to administer the heart stimulant!”
Layla’s eyes gleamed as an idea struck her. She pointed at Isis and said, “Mr. Carter, you’ve come at the perfect time! There are people here getting in the way of us treating Samuel Have someone throw her out right away!”

Chapter 22
“Lavda” Adran couldn’t help but speak out in protest
He thought, “What is Layla thinking Everyone knows how powerful the Carter family is, and Mr. Carter, in particular, has a reputation for bring ruthless Publicy throwing his out would only make things worse for her
Even though Isis and 1 are divorced, I don’t want to see her harmed. Besides, if Isis, in a moment of panic, brings up our past connection, it can cause trouble. This is the hospital, our workplace, after all!
Sure enough, after hearing Layla’s words, Julian slowly walked over to is. His gaze locked on her, his emotions untraible.
Isis met his eyes without hesitation. She had nothing to hide, so there was no reason to look away. But Julian’s stare was intense, almost unnerving
He studied her for a long moment before speaking, his voice as cold as ever. Despite he softening it slightly, his words still carried a chilling edge that made everyone in the room uneas. “Did you stop them from treating the patient?”
Layla’s eyes lit up with excitement. She thought. You’ve angered Mr. Carter now, Isis. It’s over for you.
Isis faced him without flinching, her voice steady. “Yes”
“Why?”
“Because they wanted to inject the patient with a heart stimulant. Once it’s given, there’s no turning back
Her response was calm and sure, but it struck Julian like a bolt of lightning, stirring something deep inside him.
Layla immediately snapped back. “You’re talking nonsense! You don’t know anything about medicine, so stop spreading hes and ruining the hospital’s reputation If the patient’s condition gets worse, who’s going to take responsibility!”
She turned to Julian, trying to appeal to him. “Mr. Carter, you have to throw her out. She’s not even a doctor! And now she’s shamelessly claiming shell operate on Samuel like his life is some kind of joke!”
I’m the head of the cardiothoracic department at St. Stephen Hospital. Layla continued, her voice growing more forceful. “I can say with full responsibility that Samuel’s body isn’t fa for surgery.”
Isis’s eyes were cold as she spoke in a quiet, certain voice. “That’s because you can’t”
“I can’t” Layla laughed derisively. And you think you can! You, a housewife who spends her days cooking and cleaning are going to perform surgery!”
At the mention of housewife, Julian’s eyes hardened instantly
His gaze cut toward Layla like a sharp blade, and for a brief moment, she froze, unnerved by the intensity of his look. She thought, Why is Mr. Carter glaring at me like that? Have I said something wrong”
İsis, meanwhile, remained focused on the conversation. Her voice was calm but unwavering “I can‘
Her words were simple, but the certainty in her tone was undeniable. Despite the softness of her voice, her cool, composed demeanor made it hard for anyone to dismiss her.
Layla scoffed, clearly unimpressed. “You
“You think just because you say you can, that means anything? Who would believe you?”
Her words seemed to snap everyone back to reality, and even Adrian, who had been quietly observing, couldn’t help but shake his head. He’d almost been fooled for a moment, almost believing that Isis really could do it.
But he thought, “How can she? No one knew better than he did that she had no medical training. It is impossible.
But just as the room fell silent, a low, powerful voice suddenly broke through. “I believe her.”
