Chapter 637:
A curious voice cfrom the doors beside Jarrod. When he turned his head, he saw a young male doctor
standing next to him.
Jarrod nodded slightly and quietly replied, “Yes.”
“Dr. Blakely will be assisting in the surgery today. He's the director of the cardiac surgery department here, so
please rest assured that your mother is in good hands.”

Jarrod sensed something was off. “Assisting? The Director?” The male doctor nodded. “Yes. Your mother’s
operating surgeon will be Dr. Wilson from Silver Boulder Private Hospital. Dr. Blakely will be assisting her.”
Despite his shock, Jarrod tried his best to stay calm.
“Dr. Wilson is truly kind and beautiful. Although she has only been a doctor for a few months, numerous
department heads hold her in high regard. While | haven't witnessed her work personally, her skills must be
exceptional, considering that Dr. Blakely is assisting her. Don’t you think?”
The doctor chuckled and added, “I have to go. Please excuse me.”
He then turned and hurried away.
Although the doctor tried to make the conversation light, Jarrod was clearly not amused. His face darkened,
seemingly overwhelmed with emotion.
His father, on the other hand, was visibly fearful. “Did | hear that right, Jarrod? | remember you saying Dr. Blakely
would be performing the surgery himself. When did they change it to that female doctor? That doctor just now
sounded like she—Dr. Wilson—doesn’t actually have enough experience. Your mother’s still in there. If the
surgery fails, you'll lose her.”
Jarrod’s father stood up, looking agitated. He grabbed his son’s shoulder, his voice rising. “How could you agree
to risk your mother’s life with such an inexperienced doctor?”

As his father blamed him, Jarrod looked toward the operating room, his body trembling violently. The surgery had
already been going on for more than thirty minutes, and it was too late to change the lead surgeon now.
“D-don’t worry, Dad. Mom will be fine,” Jarrod said, his words laced with uncertainty. Based on what he had just
heard from the doctor, Dr. Wilson's competence seemed dubious, and it appeared that she had secured the
position more through connections than merit. What Jarrod detested above all was seeing people obtain jobs
through favoritism and connections.
But it was too late to blher now. He could only hope that this doctor was skilled enough to perform surgeries
where lives were at stake. His focus was entirely on her abilities, causing him to completely overlook the
complexity of the surgery itself.
Outside the operating room, Jarrod and his father anxiously waited together. Meanwhile, inside the room, the two
doctors assisting Norah grew increasingly surprised as the surgery progressed.
