Chapter 294: Chapter 293

Evelyn King continued, "I know I’m daydreaming, everyone knows what kind of presence Ayla is, so I’m just saying it casually."

Ivy River smiled without speaking.

She thought to herself.

If everyone knew Ayla was participating in this traditional Chinese medicine competition, they would be utterly shocked.

However, Evelyn King was not wrong. I have always adhered to the principle of fairness without any favoritism.

Because she is the leader in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Once they arrived at the competition venue.

Seaton Hospital’s top-floor operating rooms were all prepared.

"We are now at the top floor of Seaton Hospital. It indeed deserves its reputation as one of the leading hospitals in the country, with all top-notch surgical equipment. I believe the five doctors who advanced will surely meet everyone’s expectations!"

"Alright, let’s proceed with the draw. Are all contestants ready?"

The host continued to liven up the atmosphere.

Only Evan Smith and Ronan Jones applauded.

Griffin King saw this and quickly took charge, "Alright, let me explain today’s competition format."

"Everyone will draw lots in the order of the previous award announcements, Ivy River will go first, followed by the others. Whatever you draw will determine the surgery you perform, the difficulty level is generally the same for all patients."

Upon saying this, Evelyn King paused, "Except for one top-notch individual, I won’t say who, but their case is more challenging. If you encounter difficulties during the surgery, be sure to ring the bell immediately. We have professional doctors ready to assist you."

"I hope everyone will prioritize these patients. They came trusting in your medical skills to compete. Just take it seriously, alright, get ready to draw lots."

After Griffin King finished, everyone drew lots in order.

Ivy River glanced at it; operating room number one.

She immediately began pre-surgery preparations, amazing everyone with her direct action.

"Doctor River, honestly, you don’t have to rush. You can wait a bit for everyone."

Ivy River replied directly, "Host, right? Stop blabbering. Do you know how annoying your mouth is? Everyone is prepared, so let’s start directly, shall we?"

The host felt embarrassed and looked at the others, "Do you find me annoying? Probably not. Is it possible Doctor River is in a bad mood today? Hopefully, she won’t delay her surgery later."

No one responded, choosing instead to collectively look into the distance knowingly.

This was indeed hard to comment on, incredibly hard.

Ivy River sneered coldly, "Rest assured, my surgery will be outstanding. Can the judge host instead? Please don’t let outsiders, okay?"

Griffin King glanced at Edwin Blake standing not far away with a somber expression.

He quickly stepped forward, "Alright, alright, I think that’s fine. Let me briefly explain; once you all enter, prepare and then start directly. We have professionals to record the time, so don’t panic! Ensure patient safety and keep things orderly."

"Understood. We are well aware of the importance of patient safety. Otherwise, we’d be unworthy of the title of doctor."

In a rare response, Ivy River concurred.

Griffin King was taken aback but quickly reacted, "Alright, take your positions. Ivy River, don’t panic, if there’s an issue..."

Without waiting for her to finish, Ivy River entered the operating room.

She looked at the patient lying on the table, who seemed to be battling with death.

Connected to a breathing machine, his brows were furrowed as if in discomfort.

Ivy River quietly asked, "Grandpa, I’m the doctor treating you today. Don’t worry, I’ll ensure you’re safe."

"Thank you, child. I know my condition is difficult. If you can’t treat it, that’s alright, considering this is voluntary. I’m just here to try, knowing I won’t live long anyway."

After finishing, the old man began coughing weakly.

"Shh, don’t say such ominous things. Let me check your pulse; the problem shouldn’t be too big. Just believe in yourself, okay?"

Ivy River comforted him, casually glanced at the medical card, and began checking the pulse.

"Rest assured, Grandpa, after the surgery your chest will feel less constricted. I assure you. Is your son waiting outside?"

The assistant whispered, "This old man only has one daughter. She fainted directly upon returning from abroad and couldn’t accept it, quite tragic."

Hearing this, Ivy River’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "Alright, prepare the anesthesia."

She then leaned down to whisper in the old man’s ear, "Don’t worry, I’ll cure you. Once your daughter wakes up, she’ll witness your successful surgery."

"Really?"

The old man chuckled, "If my illness is difficult to treat, just forget it. After I die, donate any organs that can be useful..."

Before he could finish, he fell unconscious.

Ivy River said softly, "Let’s start. Just do whatever I instruct you to do; if I don’t say anything, don’t do anything."

"Alright."

The assisting doctors followed Ivy River’s lead are all top doctors from Seaton Hospital.

Typically able to take initiative on the operating table, now they were treated like assistants by Ivy River.

This action shocked not only those in the surgery room but also those outside it.

The main reason for choosing Seaton Hospital was its advanced equipment.

The second reason was the ability to live-stream surgeries in real-time.

People outside the operating table could watch clearly.

"Was Ivy River always so special when she was with you, Director Chadwick?"

Griffin King looked on, finding it incredible.

Lewis Chadwick commented casually, "Can I say that I still don’t fully understand what kind of person Ivy River is? But I do know one thing; her medical skills are genuinely amazing."

"Yes, I noticed. Ivy River’s patient is the most severe, with many complications, and I think she realized it."

"Trust her; the surgery will succeed, though Ivy River might not come first. Lower your expectations for her."

Lewis Chadwick glanced at Griffin King’s hopeful eyes and couldn’t resist speaking.

Griffin King took a quick look, "You’re acting like you’re not expectant either. Alright, let’s watch the surgery closely."

Isla Sutton arrived at the venue at some unknown time.

Seeing all eyes on Ivy River, her jealousy flared even more!

She smiled as she approached Edwin Blake, "Edwin, you’re also here watching Ivy’s competition? I saw it on TV; she’s really impressive!"

Edwin Blake frowned, turning around coldly, "Why are you here?"

"Can’t I be here? I also want to see Ivy’s competition."

Isla Sutton said with a wronged expression.

"I thought your competition was about to start. You need to be busy, right? How’s your hand? Will it be fine for the contest?"

"I think there shouldn’t be any problems. I came today to have Ivy check it again. I’ve been feeling some discomfort while washing dishes recently. Other than that, it’s fine."

After speaking, Isla Sutton looked even more pitiful.

Edwin Blake immediately said, "We’ll have Ivy take a look after her match. Right now she’s competing."

"Wow! Ivy’s at the final stage? How impressive!"

Upon hearing this, Alexander Hodges patted Edwin Blake’s shoulder, "Brother, I’m stepping out for some fresh air, are you coming?"

"Soon, wait for me outside."

Edwin Blake comforted Isla Sutton with a few words before turning to leave.

Alexander Hodges stood on the rooftop, looking coldly into the distance, "When are you planning to settle things with your wife? I just saw her at the venue."

"Hmm, I know."
