Under the Heiress' Facade



Oscar, Randy Nickerson, the three Presgraves, and several medical staff waited at Silverleaf Hospital entrance, creating a grand spectacle. Even the media hurried over after receiving the news. Many onlookers curiously wondered which VIP they were about to welcome. Meanwhile, Wayne steadily parked the car at Silverleaf Hospital. Johnson saw the commotion through the car window. He couldn't help but recall that the last time he saw such a grand spectacle was to welcome Bernard.

However, Hera did not say anything about the crowd. Instead, she said to Wayne, "You can go back first, Wayne. You don't have to wait for me." With that, she took the canvas bag and got out of the car.

Oscar and Randy stepped forward to welcome her.

"Randy, this is Dr. Shadow, also known as Hera Youngworth." Oscar stood between them as he introduced them to each other. "Hera, this is the head of Alternative-Western Medicine Integrated Association and director of Silverleaf Hospital, Randy Nickerson."

Randy extended his right hand. "Silverleaf Hospital welcomes you, Dr. Shadow."

"Mr. Nickerson, you can call me Hera." Hera extended her right hand and shook hands with him.

Randy admired someone like Hera, who was neither humble nor arrogant. He answered with a chuckle, "Sure. I'll do the same as Oscar and call you Hera."

After that, Randy looked at Johnson, who had followed Hera out of the car. "Is Mr. Chime with you?"

"Yes. Johnson is my partner," Hera introduced.

While taken aback by the word "partner", Johnson also felt very touched. Did that mean Hera acknowledged his capability?

"Mr. Nickerson, Mr. Bloom." He reached out to shake hands with them. After shaking hands, the four went toward the hospital complex.

"Hera, the operating room and equipment are ready. Even the patient has been transferred over here. However, I do have a request, which I'm wondering if you could agree to," Randy spoke up.

"What's your request?" Hera asked.

"The Alternative-Western Medicine Integrated Association has set up a research group with the Alternative Medicine Association to study comatose patients. The group comprises doctors with significant achievements in psychiatry.

"But everyone needs more in-depth research on comatose patients. Hence, Oscar and I are asking on their behalf whether they could enter the operating room and observe the surgery. It'll be an opportunity for them to learn," Randy explained gently.

"Once inside the operating room, everyone will definitely remain silent and won't disturb you," Oscar added.

It was quite common for doctors to observe surgery in operating rooms. Hera herself had often been observed at operations whenever she attended medical seminars overseas in the past.

Whenever she went overseas to attend medical seminars, many also watched her operate.

Besides, the Alternative-Western Medicine Integrated Association and the Alternative Medicine Association were a rather big deal in the medical field in Jedburgh.

Since Oscar and Randy had personally made the request, Hera decided not to reject them. After all, she was using Silverleaf Hospital's facilities. Thus, she nodded in agreement. "Sure."

Oscar, Randy, and the other medical staff behind them were thrilled to hear her answer. "Thank you."

By the time Marcus arrived at

l

Silverleaf Hospital, he happened to spot Hera entering the hospital complex while surrounded by a crowd Next to her was Oscar and Randy, who came out to personally welcome her.

Although Marcus was the scion of the Chime family, which was a prominent family in the medical field, he very rarely had the chance to meet Oscar and Randy at the same time. Why was Hera worthy of such an opportunity?

"Dr. Shadow is currently at Silverleaf Hospital. She'll be operating on Harvey Presgrave, who's been in a coma for more than a decade.

"She has even permitted a group of psychiatrists to observe the surgery in real-time. If this operation is successful, Dr. Shadow will achieve another milestone in her medical expertise.

"It'll also become a breakthrough for comatose patients. This is a very exciting moment. How I wish I could enter the operating room to livestream the operation for everyone!"

Marcus happened to overhear a nearby reporter speaking into the camera during a live broadcast. His gaze darkened, and he stepped forward to enter the hospital.

Before the operation, Hera reviewed the latest medical data on Harvey's condition. She held a meeting with Johnson and the nurses, while the doctors from the research group on comatose patients listened in from the side.

Once the meeting was over, Hera and the others had to get ready for the operation. Connor and his family had been waiting by the conference room door.From NôvelDrama.Org.

When Hera came out of the room, Connor immediately asked, "Dr. Shadow, what are the chances of the operation succeeding?"

Fearful that Tyler had hired Hera to harm Harvey, Fiona couldn't help but say, "You must wake up my son. Otherwise..." Before she could finish her threat, Connor stopped her.

Hera glanced at them indifferently before saying, "Get the press release ready." Then, she headed to the changing room to prepare for the operation. Her words left Connor and Fiona confused immediately. What press release was she talking about? Would the operation be a success or failure? While in the changing room, Hera checked her phone before changing into her surgical gown. Bernard had sent more than a hundred WhatsApp messages while Hera held her meeting.

All the videos were live updates about him preparing to return to Jedburgh, from leaving the hotel to heading to the airport at Miridian.
