Chapter 629:
Norah, though highly skilled, knew better than to let pride cloud her judgment. Skills, she reminded herself, were
for honing, not just possessing.
Meanwhile, in the bustling cardiac surgery department, Toby Blakely, the department director, distributed
documents among his team.
“Take a look, everyone. Here's the file on our new patient. How do we feel about the proposed surgery?”
He paced, his hands locked behind him, awaiting their thoughts.

“Dr. Blakely, this procedure poses significant risks. A single misstep could jeopardize the patient's life,” one
doctor commented.
“Indeed, it's more daunting than a heart transplant. Honestly, Dr. Blakely, you might be the only one here who
could manage it,” another added.
“Performing this surgery flawlessly is beyond any guarantee. It's exceedingly complex,” said a third voice.
Baylor, feeling similarly, nodded in agreement. At this point, it seemed like the success rate might not even
reach thirty percent.
The room filled with nods of concurrence. The surgical challenge was immense, and no one but the director
seemed equipped to face it.
Toby's frown deepened, a touch of disappointment in his tone. “Is there really no one else who can take this on?”
“You're all top doctors here. If you can’t handle this operation, it’s quite humiliating,” Toby stated bluntly.

A doctor responded, “Dr. Blakely, this patient’s condition is rare. We seldom see such cases. It's understandable
that we lack confidence.”
“Yeah, | only have a vague idea about the procedure. I'm not entirely sure what steps to follow,” another
confessed.
“Dr. Blakely, are you considering performing this surgery yourself?” queried another doctor.

Toby was aware of the high skill level in his department. Faced with a daunting challenge, he believed they
should be ready to tackle it. Why the hesitation?
“Well...” Toby sighed, his tone heavy with resignation.
“Dr. Blakely!” Baylor interjected, raising his hand. “I have a suggestion. There's someone who | believe is up to
the task.”
Toby's expression softened slightly. “Who might that be?”
“Norah Wilson. She's the leading surgeon at our hospital's cardiac surgery department. Her surgical prowess
surpasses even our director! Her record is spotless: every operation she performs achieves a 100% success rate!
And she’s currently at Concord Hospital,” Baylor declared enthusiastically.
Before Toby could reply, other doctors quickly chimed in.
