Chapter 255 She Said Not Him
“Doctor, how is the situation?”
“After the rescue, Old Mr. Hansen has managed to recover his
life.”
The doctor’s words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, especially Lydia, who hurriedly made a gesture of gratitude and said, “Thank goodness, thank goodness!”
But Mark’s expression paused for a moment.
Luckily, everyone was looking at the doctor, so his unusual expression went unnoticed by most people.
“However, the current condition of Old Mr. Hansen is still not
optimistic. We must perform the valve replacement surgery as soon as possible. Although the surgery is relatively mature now, the success rate is extremely low due to the severe heart
failure.”
The doctor’s words made the complexion of the members of
the Hansen family change again.
Byron’s expression turned serious as he pressed the doctor for more information, asking, “What is the success rate?”
Chapter 255 She Said Not Him
“Due to the extremely severe heart failure of Old Mr. Hansen,
the assessed success rate is only around ten percent.”
Lydia burst into tears once again. “Oh, dear God, please spare my elderly father. I am willing to trade thirty years of my own life to give him more than ten years, so he can witness his yet–to–be–born great–grandchild and see Byron start a family and build a career.”
However, whether this prayer was entirely sincere or partly
put on for show, discerning people could see through it clearly.
Mark furrowed his brow, unsure about what he was thinking.
“However, if you can get Professor Smith to perform the surgery personally, the success rate will significantly increase. There was a patient with a condition even more severe than Old Mr. Hansen’s who, after undergoing valve replacement surgery with Professor Smith’s direct involvement, is still
healthy and alive to this day.”

“Has Professor Smith gone abroad?” Eason chimed in, asking at the right moment.
“No, he has retired and is not taking on any surgeries anymore,” the doctor replied. However, the doctor believed
that with the financial resources and connections of the

Hansen family, they should be able to persuade Evan to
perform the surgery.
Then, the doctor left.
Upon hearing that Osborn’s rescue operation had concluded, Jane hurriedly came over to Byron and said, “Byron, I know
where Professor Smith lives.”
“That’s great news, Miss Yoris. You are truly a lucky star of our family!”
Lydia was moved to tears on the spot and almost bowed in gratitude to Jane.
“Miss Yoris, could you please go with Byron now and find Professor Smith?” Patrick and Ben were not as emotionally overwhelmed as Lydia, but they earnestly entrusted Jane with
the task.
“Then, Byron, you go with Miss Yoris to find Professor Smith,
and I’ll stay here at the hospital,” Mark said.
Despite being aware of Cora’s concerns about not having
much contact with Jane, Byron understood that she wouldn’t mind much in that situation. So, he nodded and prepared to inform Cora before setting off with Jane.
But Cora suddenly spoke up.

“Professor Smith is currently in Kinton, and there’s no point in trying to find him.”
Almost in that instant, their gaze turned towards Cora.
Byron also looked at Cora with a slight frown and asked, “How do you know that Professor Smith is not in New York?”
Before Cora could respond, Jane quickly said, “Dr. Lane, I
met with Professor Smith yesterday and had some academic discussions with him!”
Cora didn’t pay much attention to Jane’s almost boastful tone and calmly met Byron’s gaze.
“Professor Smith was called to Kinton for an emergency symposium on atherosclerosis, so he rushed there overnight. Besides, it’s pointless to seek his help because he didn’t
perform that surgery back then.”
