When Turner noticed this, a slight smile crept across his face. This surgery was too important for him to simply hand over. It involved an elderly patient and was both high-risk and complex—a challenge he was eager to meet head-on. Failure would be excused due to the procedure’s difficulty, but success would greatly enhance his professional standing. More crucially, the patient, Larkin, was the father of the Director of Education.

Turner was gearing up to further his argument when a middle-aged man entered the office, halting the conversation. “Mr. Rodgers, you’re here.”

“Mr. Rodgers,” the doctors greeted Caiden as they quickly stood up.

Caiden, upon entering, wasted no time. “The complexity of Larkin’s case is exceptionally high. I forwarded his details to Star last night and requested her assistance. She has agreed and will arrive here soon with her team.”

The room erupted into a mix of disbelief and excitement. “God! Is Star really coming? I can’t believe I’m actually going to meet my idol!”

“This is fantastic! I’m so excited!”

While the others reveled in excitement, Turner’s face clouded over with anger. He turned to Caiden, his tone a blend of disbelief and irritation. “Mr. Rodgers! Isn’t it inappropriate to outsource a case from our hospital to an outsider?”

Caiden looked at Turner squarely. “As long as the surgery is successful, does it really matter who performs it?”

Caught off guard, Turner was silent for a moment before he responded, “But if the surgery fails and there’s an uproar from the patient’s family, our hospital’s reputation will be on the line.”

Caiden offered a reassuring smile. “There’s no need for concern. Star has personally reviewed the case and confirmed a ninety percent success rate.”

He then turned to address the gathered doctors, saying, “Each department may nominate five individuals to observe the surgery.”

Excitement immediately swept through the room.

“Really? Mr. Rodgers, please, I’d like to observe the surgery!”

“Me, too! Please pick me! I’ve always admired Star—it is a dream of mine to watch her work!”

Amidst the clamor, Caiden’s eyes briefly met Belinda’s. That morning, around seven, he had forwarded Larkin’s case file to her. Understanding the complexity of the procedure from his own expertise in cardiothoracic surgery, he had been relieved when Belinda had agreed to lead the operation.

As the department buzzed with everyone discussing potential observers, Belinda discreetly exited the room and made her way to the parking lot, where her team was already assembled.

Her assistant, Addie Juarez, greeted her with a set of new clothes and a bright smile. “Finally, back to surgery! I’ve really missed it.”

Fred Reynolds, another assistant, echoed her enthusiasm and said, “I feel the same way.”

Kori Watson, the surgical instrument nurse, spoke up. “Well, I actually enjoy the breaks from surgery.”

Belinda gave a soft chuckle, not saying anything.
