"I don't want to ruin our morale, but the success rate for the surgical treatment on both wounds is insanely low," the third expert said."It doesn't matter how low the success rate is—we still have to treat the patient no matter what," an expert with graying hair piped up. "We've already reached this step in the surgery. We mustn't give up now.""I'm not saying that we should give up. I'm saying that these wounds are located in vital areas. If the patient starts hemorrhaging badly during the surgery, we'll be in big trouble."Vera argued, "No matter how troublesome it is, we still have to proceed with the treatment. We're doctors, and we exist just to save lives. Isn't that the case?""You're right, Dr. Frost. But I suggest that we should come up with a plan before the final surgery. The chance of the patient hemorrhaging greatly during the surgical process is very high," an expert said.Another expert continued, "Even though things have been going on smoothly for us so far, the
The next day, Cassian went to work.He had just arrived at the office when a nurse ran over anxiously. "Dr. York, Dr. Frost wants you to see her in her office right away.""Did she say what she needs me for?" Cassian asked."Dr. Frost didn't say anything, but I think it most likely has to do with the patient our hospital has taken in this morning.""What patient?""We took in a patient who was completely riddled with injuries. He was in a very bad state. Dr. Frost and a few experts happened to be discussing surgical plans meant for him.""Got it."Cassian put on his white coat before striding toward Vera's office quickly. He was about to knock on her door when the door was opened from the inside. Vera hurried out of the office the next moment."Are you looking for me, Dr. Frost?" Cassian asked."You came right on time, Cassian. Follow me to the operating theater," Vera said as she began walking down the corridor. "A surgery will be taking place soon. You'll be working as my as
Cassian's disappointment was quickly replaced by a lighter mood. He turned around and smiled at Serena."Good night, Serena.""Good night." Serena flashed Cassian a gentle smile.Once Cassian exited Serena's room, he noticed the smug smile curling on Jessica's lips. His temper instantly flared.Why was she being smug about the fact that he didn't get to sleep with Serena in the same room?Cassian huffed coldly, which made Jessica's smile widen in return.The guest room was located on the second floor of the villa. Cassian couldn't sleep at all, no matter how much he tossed and turned on his bed. All he could think about was Serena's damp form when she exited the bathroom.He had to admit that Serena truly lived up to her nickname as Siren Landon.Since Cassian couldn't sleep, he might as well start cultivating.Thiago had helped him out several times in Crystalis tonight, which touched him greatly. Cassian had no idea when exactly he could activate the All-Seeing Eye, but he s
Yes!Cassian practically hollered that answer silently.All the men in this world would definitely want to shower with a gorgeous woman like Serena as long as they were sexually healthy!But Cassian was prone to embarrassment very easily. During his lapse of hesitation, Serena had already closed the bathroom door. Soon, the sounds of flowing water came from the bathroom.Cassian regretted being indecisive, to say the least. Serena had already extended an invitation to him, and yet he didn't have the guts to enter the bathroom purely out of embarrassment. Because of that, he lost the golden opportunity to start something new with Serena.Now, he could only wait in her room.Time ticked by slowly. Cassian could only twitch in his spot anxiously. There were times when he wanted to barge into the bathroom right away, but in the end, he held his urge back. He was worried that his intrusion would piss Serena off.A few minutes had passed, and yet Serena still hadn't exited the bathr
Jessica mentally cursed at Cassian.What difference was there between Cassian and those perverts? They were all filthy men!"Just check on Jessica's injury, Cassian," Serena continued.Cassian studied the bruise on Jessica's chest. This was her first time being stared at by a man in the chest. Naturally, she blushed against her will.Two minutes later, Jessica realized that Cassian was still staring at her chest.She barked out impatiently, "So? Do you have any idea how to treat this or not?""Oh, I've made my own discovery alright," Cassian replied. "Your skin is quite delicate."Jessica was so furious that her cheeks went tomato red. She was about to berate Cassian when she heard him adding, "But then again, you're not as delicate as Serena.""You—" Jessica's temple was literally throbbing in fury. She'd have beaten Cassian up on the spot if not for the fact that Serena was still around.That pervert didn't just ogle her—he even demeaned her!That fucking bastard!"Stop
Serena had her arms wrapped around Cassian's neck. The distance between them was less than four inches, not to mention their bodies were still molded against each other. Because of that, Cassian could clearly feel Serena's breasts pressing against him.He had never experienced such an incident before. All he could feel was his rapid heartbeat. His cheeks still flaming, he said, "Serena, I—""Just spend the night here, okay?" Serena interrupted without bothering to hear Cassian out.As Cassian gazed at Serena, he felt as though the swirling emotions in her eyes were so strong that they could absorb his soul just by looking at them."Promise me, okay?" Serena sounded like she was pleading with Cassian. When illuminated by the dim light, her visage looked even more enchanting.Cassian couldn't come up with an excuse to say no, so he could only hum in response.Serena smiled happily at his response. "Cassian, my cheek is stinging."Back in Crystalis, Jeremiah had slapped her in th
