Chapter 1601

[ 583 words ]

“No need.”

Lucas’s leg injury wasn’t the biggest issue.

Many doctors could perform the surgery, but if it wasn’t done promptly and meticulously, the trauma would leave lasting complications.

For Claire, a procedure like this was second nature.

It was a perfect opportunity to keep her skills sharp, preventing her from getting rusty while she focused on her college classes.

Though she had treated quite a few patients before, she still felt she needed the practice.

Reaching the pinnacle of surgical skill required relentless dedication.

A leg surgery took far more time than treating a bullet wound.

By the time she finished, it was the middle of the night.

Director Brooks, who had been assisting Claire, was so exhausted he almost collapsed onto the floor.

He only managed to stay on his feet because a young doctor nearby rushed to hold

him up.

“I’m getting old. I just can’t keep up with the youth anymore,” he muttered. Claire had been operating for hours, yet she looked completely unfazed. He had merely been the assistant, yet his energy was utterly depleted. “Dr. Claire is truly incredible,” the medical team murmured in awe. Her exceptional medical prowess left the entire team astounded.

The fact that she effortlessly succeeded in a complex surgery that even the department head couldn’t handle spoke volumes.

It wasn’t something just anyone could pull off.

Director Brooks also recognized her brilliance, and knowing she was Professor Carlson’s student, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.

Some people were simply born at the finish line, possessing talents others could never hope to match.

After standing at the operating table for so long, Claire was actually exhausted, her complexion deathly pale.

The moment she stepped out, Dane popped a piece of chocolate into her mouth. The bittersweet flavor gave her body a much-needed jolt of energy.

After she finished the chocolate, Dane handed her a paper cup filled with water.

Claire downed it in a few greedy gulps.

She finally felt like she was coming back to life.

Watching Dane take such meticulous care of Claire, Stephen James felt a surge of approval.

“Claire, go grab some food with Dane and get some rest.”

Though they were family, Stephen quietly etched her life-saving favor to his team member into his heart.

At the same time, he marveled at the fact that The James Family finally had a prodigy in the medical field.

The family had produced brilliant minds in almost every industry, but never a doctor. Now, the youngest girl they had just brought back was a literal genius.

Stephen couldn’t help but think of Cindy, the imposter.

She shared their generational naming convention, but she never truly fit in with the rest of them.

Cindy was always overly timid and dramatic, lacking the confident grace that defined the James bloodline.

Logically, a granddaughter raised by

Pandora should have inherited

fraction of her commandin

Proce, if not all of it.

Yet Cindy always carried a petty, narrow-minded aura that bore zero resemblance to Pandora.

Word had it she didn’t look anything like her supposed parents, either.

Stephen had once casually voiced his suspicion that Cindy had been switched at

birth, noting she didn’t look like a James.

His father had chewed him out, telling him to stop talking nonsense.

Her parents had passed away, and Pandora was already heartbroken enough questioning her granddaughter’s lineage would only add insult to injury. . fo FindNovel.net

Since then, Stephen had never brought it up again.

But when the truth about Claire and Cindy was finally revealed, Stephen couldn’t help but sigh in

realization Cindy really wasota part of his family after all

And the moment he laid eyes on Claire, he knew that blood simply didn’t lie.
