Chapter 76 The Eighteen-Year-Old PhD Alexander nodded seriously. "Absolutely! Remember when I got ambushed and hurt in Avalon City?" Declan and Landon nodded, recalling how Alexander almost lost his life back then.
Alexander went on, "Allison saved me. She tookto a university medical lab and did surgery onwith the most basic tools. That's when I first met her!" Declan and Landon's eyes widened in shock. They couldn't believe an eighteen-year-old girl had such mad skills. After a moment, Declan said, "Alexander, this is huge. The Shaw family..." Alexander nodded. "I'll let them know!" Allison didn't waste any time. She headed straight to the operating room, took a quick shower, disinfected herself, and changed into surgical scrubs-all in just ten minutes.
When she walked into the operating room, the anesthesiologist was stunned to see such a young girl. "Are you serious? Can you handle this surgery? If something goes wrong, who's gonna take the blame? No way, you can't do this. Have you even graduated? Are you nuts?" Allison shot him a look and said, "If you can't handle it, you can leave now!" The anesthesiologist, who had done thousands of surgeries, had never seen such a cocky doctor. "Leave? No way. This is a life-and-death situation. I'm telling you..." Allison ignored him and checked Hunter's body. "The patient has a fishhook in his chest with four hooks. Two are in the heart, and one's in an artery. Every minute you waste talking reduces his survival chance by ten percent. It's already been two minutes. Wanna keep talking?" The anesthesiologist went silent, still fuming and doubting Allison's ability.
Seeing this, Allison walked out of the operating room. "Alexander, get a new anesthesiologist, in three minutes!" Alexander frowned and looked at the hospital director, who glared at the troublesanesthesiologist before sending in the head of the anesthesiology department.

The director was worried but didn't dare say anything in front of Alexander.
Just then, the Shaw family members arrived.
Hunter's dad, Vance Shaw, still in his military uniform, rushed over. "Alexander, how's it going?" "The surgery's in progress!" There was a man following behind Vance. Vance frowned slightly and said to Alexander, "This is a military doctor. Let him assist too!" Alexander nodded. Having an extra hand wouldn't hurt, and he was also worried if Allison could handle it alone.
Knowing a military doctor was there, Allison calmly assigned tasks. "I'll remove the fishhook, you handle the bleeding. The tricky part is the hook in the artery. The heart might stop for a few seconds during surgery. We need to coordinate perfectly for him to survive!" The military doctor hadn't expected such a complex surgery. He nodded seriously and watched as Allison skillfully removed the fishhook bit by bit, causing minimal damage.
When the fishhook was out, the military doctor quickly used a hemostat to stop the bleeding, but blood still sprayed, hitting Allison's face. The nurse beside her screamed in panic, but Allison didn't flinch and kept working.
The hemostat clamped the aorta, and Hunter's heart stopped beating for five seconds. Allison silently counted in her head while quickly stitching up the damaged artery. When she hit five, she slowly removed the hemostat and sighed in relief when the artery held.

Allison reached out and gently squeezed the heart. Suddenly, it started beating again. Everyone in the room was stunned. The military doctor looked at Allison with newfound respect, realizing this girl was something special. Allison continued, "Let's close up the wound!" The surgery went smoothly from there. Due to the massive blood loss, Hunter needed over 2 pints of blood. Besides Alexander, several of Vance's colleagues also donated blood.
When the military doctor walked out of the operating room, he gave Vance a slight nod. Vance finally sat down, his nerves unwinding after three tense hours.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe military doctor approached Vance and said, "Mr. Shaw, the surgeon in there is a young girl. She's incredibly skilled, the best I've ever seen!" Vance was surprised and turned to Alexander. "Who is this young girl?" Alexander grinned, "She's my fiancée!" Vance was even more surprised. He didn't expect Alexander to have a girlfriend, let alone one so young. When he saw Allison, his gaze at Alexander beccomplicated. Wasn't this a bit inappropriate? Was she even an adult? The age difference was significant! Alexander introduced Allison to Vance. "Allison, this is Hunter's father, Vance Shaw." Allison greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Shaw. Hunter's surgery was successful. We need to observe him for forty- eight hours. If there are no complications, he can be transferred back to Skycrest." Vance looked at Allison, impressed by her calm demeanor and talent. "May I ask where you learned your medical skills, Ms. Bennett?" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

Alexander tensed up, worried about Allison's privacy, but she answered openly, "I started learning medicine from Mr. Taylor when I was fourteen. I already have my Ph.D.!"
Everyone, including Vance, was stunned. Christopher Taylor was a member of the National Academy of Sciences! To study under him at fourteen and earn a Ph.D. by eighteen was incredible! Vance praised her, "What a genius! If you don't mind, we can have sdiscussions." Hearing this, Alexander quickly put his arm around her shoulders. "Vance, she's still young. It's too early to talk about this!"
Vance wanted to say more, but seeing Alexander's warning look, he kept quiet. He was really impressed with Allision If only she could be his daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, she was already taken. Just then, Mia hurried over. "Allison, how is Hunter? Is he okay?" Mia wasn't in great shape, having also donated blood to Hunter. Liliana was worried, but Mia insisted. Allison said, "He's fine now, don't worry! You don't look well. Liliana, take her to a room to rest. She needs an IV!" Vance didn't blMia for Hunter's injury. He smiled at her, "Mia, go rest. Hunter is fine!" Mia's eyes filled with tears as she looked at Vance. "Vance, I'm sorry!" Vance comforted her, "Don't say sorry. He was just doing what anyone would do to help. Liliana, take her to rest!" Liliana nodded, exchanged a glance with Alexander, and took Mia to a room to rest.
Vance went to the ICU and saw that his son was fine. Only then did he call the family, who had already beenn anxiously waiting. Even Aiden had rushed over and scolded Alexander.
"Why have a yacht party? If something happened to Hunter, I'd beat you up!"
