Chapter 94 Scratches
As soon as the words left his mouth, Kyle felt a sudden chill down his spine.
Although he didn't have eyes on his back, his instinct made him acutely aware that an icy gaze was fixed on him.
That gaze came from Samuel's direction.
Only then did Kyle remember that Amelia was the person Samuel had vouched for.
By speaking about Amelia this way, he was indirectly criticizing Samuel.
He instantly panicked inside.
No matter how worried he was about Geraldo's safety, Kyle hadn't forgotten Samuel's status.
He wasn't someone just anyone could mess with.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Kyle's forehead.
Just as he was trying to figure out how to take back his words, he heard the doctor say unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Samuel, who had been ready to teach the loose-lipped Kyle a lesson, paused, and the words about to leave his mouth stopped in his throat.
The doctor said, "Dr. Richardson's medical skills are extraordinary. Our Dr. McCoy willingly gave up the lead surgeon position to her."
The McGinnis family was stunned.
That Rodolfo McCoy was the best cardiac surgeon at Dawnview General Hospital.
And Dawnview General Hospital had originally become famous precisely because of Rodolfo's excellence in cardiac surgery.
The doctor continued indignantly, feeling it was unfair to Amelia.
"Her surgical technique was crystal clear to everyone in the operating room. Dr. McCoy is even serving as Dr. Richardson's assistant now."
"If it weren't for Dr. Richardson, what I'd be giving you wouldn't be a critical condition notice, but a death certificate!"
"Please show some respect to Dr. Richardson!"
"She's the one who desperately pulled the patient back from death's door several times in the operating room!"
Hearing the doctor's words, Kyle's mouth fell open, not knowing what to say.
He truly hadn't expected that Amelia actually had medical skills.
And skills that had earned Rodolfo's recognition.
No, not just Rodolfo—this doctor too.
To recognize Amelia in such a short time and defend her even at the risk of angering the family was enough to prove that Amelia's skills were indeed exceptional.
For a moment, Kyle's face showed not only embarrassment and shock, but also obvious shame.
He really hadn't expected this.
Griffin stepped forward to explain for Kyle.
"We're terribly sorry, doctor. My son has always been blunt with his words. He was just too worried about his grandfather and said things he shouldn't have. Please tell Dr. Richardson that she is our whole family's benefactor. No matter what the final outcome is, our entire family is grateful to her."
The doctor snorted lightly, ignored whatever else they had to say, and turned back into the operating room.
The operating room was in chaos, racing against time to snatch someone from death's hands—he had no time to argue with them here.
Besides, the entire surgical process was recorded. If the results were truly bad, no one could blame Amelia.
The heavy door of the operating room closed again.
Griffin and Christina exchanged an awkward look, then glared at Kyle with warning in their eyes.
This foolish child spent all day painting until he'd painted his brain stupid.
Didn't he think about whether Samuel was an ordinary person?
He wasn't.
So the person he vouched for couldn't be ordinary either.
What an idiot!
But no matter how stupid his son was, he was still his own flesh and blood.
Griffin had no choice but to walk over to Samuel and apologize for Kyle.
"Mr. Crawford, I'm truly sorry about what just happened. Kyle spoke thoughtlessly. Please forgive him."
Samuel said expressionlessly, "You should be grateful that Geraldo is Amelia's student. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have had the chance to say those things."
Griffin froze.
She was really Geraldo's teacher?
Both skilled in painting and medicine—what kind of remarkable person was she?
Kyle, not far away, also understood Samuel's meaning.
He meant that if not for the teacher-student relationship between Amelia and Geraldo, Amelia wouldn't have appeared here at all.
They should be grateful she was willing to help.
Yet he had repeatedly spoken disrespectfully to Amelia.
Kyle's expression changed again and again.
Samuel thought about the scene of the doctor fiercely defending Amelia and couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead.
Why did he have the feeling that someone had stolen his moment again?
Jeremy approached Samuel at this moment.
"Mr. Crawford, about Yasmin's matter?"
"Wait until Geraldo wakes up."
He had confidence in Amelia.
Geraldo would definitely be saved.
Seeing that Samuel's people weren't pressing her with questions anymore, Yasmin felt slightly relieved.
As long as Geraldo died, this matter would be over.
She was starting to regret it a bit now.
If she'd known it would be this troublesome, she should have just given the medicine to Geraldo back then. That way she could have gained the status of Geraldo's savior.
Instead of being in this situation.
But she quickly stopped regretting it.
If Geraldo died, Amelia would definitely suffer and blame herself.
Seeing Amelia in pain made her happy!
Because if Amelia hadn't shown up at Luminance Art Gallery with Grant, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
If not for her, everything would have gone smoothly and she would have already gained the Sullivan family's approval.
In the midst of all the anxiety, the minute hand made another round.
The operating room door opened again.
This time it wasn't the previous doctor who came out, but Amelia.
Followed by Rodolfo and the other doctors.
Everyone immediately rushed forward, and Samuel also stood up from his chair and came before Amelia.
"Dr. Richardson, how is my father?" Griffin asked first.
Amelia was somewhat surprised.
Why did it feel like the McGinnis family's attitude toward her had completely changed after she went in?
She set aside her confusion and said, "There were many dangerous moments during the surgery, but fortunately the final result wasn't bad. The operation went relatively smoothly. However, whether he can ultimately wake up still depends on Geraldo himself."
Griffin and Christina looked at each other, then moved to bow to Amelia.
"Thank you for saving his life, Dr. Richardson. The McGinnis family can never repay you. If Dr. Richardson ever needs the McGinnis family's help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Amelia quickly stopped them from bowing.
"You don't need to do this. He's my student, so I should naturally do my best."
Kyle was both excited and embarrassed.
He moved his lips, about to apologize and thank Amelia, when he saw Amelia directly ignore him and say to Griffin, "I can't say for certain whether Geraldo will ultimately wake up. He's been transferred from the special passage to the ICU. You can't go in to see him for now, but you can look at him through the ICU glass."
"Thank you, Dr. Richardson!"
Amelia nodded slightly, then suddenly walked toward Yasmin.
When Yasmin heard that the surgery was very successful, she nearly lost her balance.
Now seeing Amelia walking toward her, she almost couldn't control herself and wanted to turn and run.
Fortunately, reason kept her in place, forcing herself to appear calm.
"Is there something?" Yasmin asked proactively, putting on a composed appearance.
Amelia didn't speak, but grabbed her hand and pulled up her sleeve with her other hand, exposing her wrist.
"What are you doing?"
Yasmin angrily tried to pull back her hand, when she heard Amelia ask, "Where did the scratch marks on your wrist come from?"
