“I can’t believe it! Khloe completed such a tough surgery in just an hour. How is that even possible?”

“Who’s claiming Khloe got in through nepotism? How dare they spread such lies!”

“Incredible! Did anyone record the surgery? This is priceless research material. If I show it to our department head, he’ll lose it—he’ll beg me to share the video!”

“Your department head may freak out, but ours has already lost it. He’s so upset about missing this conference, he’s on his way here right now.”

The audience was buzzing with chatter, and no one could hide their admiration for Khloe’s surgical skill.

In a private room on the second floor, Henrik watched as Khloe peeled off her surgical gown and mask, revealing a calm, composed face. His eyes lit up with admiration. Her remarkable performance brought him a sense of pride.

But when he saw others looking at Khloe with admiration, Henrik’s jealousy flared—he wanted to rip their eyes out. He longed for her brilliance to be something he alone could cherish.

The dark thought of keeping Khloe imprisoned by his side returned, but he quickly pushed it away.

“No, Khloe would never be happy like that,” he muttered to himself.

The idea of seeing her upset, in any way, was something he couldn’t bear.

Meanwhile, in the other two operating rooms, Sloane and Selena were giving it their all, each performing admirably and wrapping up their surgeries in almost three hours.

When they stepped out, they were surprised to find Khloe relaxing in the conference hall lounge, sipping coffee and snacking, as though she had been there for a while, already changed into fresh clothes.

For a moment, Selena and Sloane were both surprised, then a quiet thrill spread through them.

It seemed Khloe had been waiting outside for a long time. The fact that she had left the operating room so soon meant one thing—Khloe’s surgery must have failed.

Unable to hide her satisfaction, Selena marched up to Khloe with a sneer. “Well, well, Khloe, why so relaxed? You must have failed your surgery to be out so soon. Someone like you shouldn’t even think about competing with me.”

Khloe shot her a quick glance but remained silent.

Seeing her silence, Selena and Sloane became even more certain that Khloe was too embarrassed to say anything.

Fighting back a grin, Sloane said, “Khloe, it’s alright. The Wechsler Syndrome you got is incredibly tough. Few can handle it. You’re still young, so failing is understandable. If you have any questions for Mr. Smith, I can ask him for you later.”

Before Khloe could say anything, laughter rang out from behind her. Sloane turned, frowning, and saw Sylvie, whom she recognized from Khloe’s lab. Sylvie, noticing Sloane’s gaze, stood tall and smirked. “Isn’t it a little embarrassing? You took three hours for your surgery, while Khloe finished hers in just one hour. Your skills clearly don’t measure up to hers. Instead of feeling sorry for her, you should be feeling sorry for yourself.”

Her words caught the attention of those nearby, who exchanged curious looks. Selena’s and Sloane’s faces instantly soured. Selena’s eyes widened in disbelief and fury as she snapped, “What are you talking about? Finishing a Wechsler Syndrome surgery in one hour? That’s impossible!”

Sylvie crossed her arms, sneering. “Huh, if you two don’t have the skills, don’t think Khloe is like you. Her abilities go beyond what you can imagine. If you doubt it, go check the surgery records and footage.”

Selena and Sloane were doubtful, but the strange stares from the people around them made them feel uneasy.

The people who had once looked at Khloe with disdain before the surgery now regarded Sloane and Selena with a subtle hint of sympathy. Could Khloe really have finished the surgery in only one hour?
