Chapter 523 Her Life Is in Your Hands
“This is ridiculous!”
Cherise inhaled deeply, making her way towards a crimson BMW. As she started the engine, her brows furrowed, “How could she insist on conceiving despite knowing her health condition? And being aware of the potential complications during delivery, why did she wait until now to seek help?”
Despite her grumbles, Cherise still sped toward the hospital.
“Dr. Shaw!”
Upon her arrival, a young cardiologist rushed to greet her.
“Where’s the patient’s file?”
“Here!”
Cherise’s brows creased as she anxiously skimmed through the medical records.
When her gaze landed on the patient’s name, she froze in place. Maeve Lenoir.
The patient was Maeve.
A wry smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
After all these years, Maeve had gotten married and was expecting a child.
“How is it?”
The young cardiologist’s prompt brought Cherise back to reality.
She glanced through Maeve’s medical records. “The patient’s condition is complicated. You might not be able to handle it.
The cardiologist frowned. “What about Dr. Staber then?”
“She…”
Cherise mumbled, “She might not be willing to operate on this patient.”
Just as she finished speaking, Lucy, who had just completed an operation, hurried over in her surgical scrubs. “I heard there’s a challenging case?”
Cherise nodded, passing her the file.
Lucy frowned. “Maeve Lenoir? From Adania? How many Macves could there be in Adania?”
Cherise smiled, “Considering her age, address, and name, it’s likely the one we know.”
“Damn!”
Lucy rolled her eyes, “Can’t the director stop accepting every case? Doesn’t the thought of supervising Maeve’s surgery disgust you?”
Cherise shook her head. “I’m afraid I won’t just be supervising the surgery today.”
Lucy looked at her in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“Neither of you are capable of performing this surgery.”
Sighing, Cherise walked toward the changing room. “I plan to do it myself.”
Lucy was dumbfounded.
“Are you out of your mind!? Even if you perform the surgery yourself, you can’t guarantee both the mother and the child will survive! If the surgery fails, what will the Lenoir family say? They’ll undoubtedly accuse you of seeking revenge and lacking medical ethics! Why bother?”
Cherise glanced at Lucy. “As long as my conscience is clear, that’s all that matters. I can’t control how the Lenoir family will comment about me.”
With that, she slammed the changing room door shut.
“Dr. Shaw.”
Just as Cherise had changed and was about to leave the changing room, she was halted by a man with tears streaming down his face.
“I’m Maeve’s husband. My name is Charles Luther.”
The man fell to his knees in front of Cherise, “My wife’s life is in your hands! I tried to dissuade her when she was pregnant, but she was obstinate… I had no other choice. I found out about you after inquiring around. People say you’re an exceptionally skilled doctor…”
Cherise looked indifferently at the man kneeling before her. “I’ll do my best.”
“Money is not an issue.”
Charles took a deep breath, his eyes brimming with sorrow and anxiety for Maeve. “Regardless of the fee, I can afford it!”
“Also…”
