Chapter 362 Success
Outside, the elder Gardners were beyond apprehensive when not a sound came from inside Benedict’s room five
hours into the surgery, and with each passing time, Olivia’s expression grew increasingly grim. “What’s taking her
so long? Can Nicole actually do it?” she said, grumbling with balled fists.
Colton comforted his aunt after hearing her skepticism. “She’s already been inside for five whole hours. Success or
not, there’s nothing we can do but put our faith in her now.”
Olivia chewed on her lips but said nothing in the end.

Benjamin was bleeding out. In fact, blood was practically gushing like a never-ending stream.
Julia noticed the problem as well, so she moved to Nicole’s side and asked while holding back the quiver and
nervousness in her voice, “What do we do now, Nicole?”
Nicole was pretty frustrated as well, for she knew this couldn’t have possibly happened since she had done a
detailed examination on Benedict.
It wasn’t the time for doubt, so she collected herself and whispered to Julia, “Get the antihemorrhagic agent and
these drugs ready. We can only resort to extreme lengths to keep him alive now.”
Despite her hesitation, Julia still saw to it immediately after receiving Nicole’s orders, for she knew this wasn’t the
time to hesitate. She had to comply unconditionally with the operating surgeon.
Compared to the Gardners’ anxiousness, Pierre was composed. Nicole must be snowed under right now, he
thought, and the old man will definitely bleed out!
He grinned confidently. It turned out that he had tampered with the anesthetic after coming here, adding an agent
that would prevent the blood from clotting. Better yet, this agent would be flushed out of the human body after
twelve hours.
Nicole is probably witnessing an intense bleed-out after operating on Old Mr. Benedict, and soon enough, she’ll
have no choice but to pronounce the old man dead! Ha! What easy success! Not only will someone else be taking
the blame for Old Mr. Benedict’s death, but I can also overthrow her. What a win-win situation!

After Julia was done blending the drugs, Nicole injected them into Benedict’s system.
Thanks to the strong dosage, the blood clotted in seconds.
However, the initial eight-hour surgery took Nicole sixteen hours due to the mishap, which was double the time she
had estimated.
Once she finished stitching Benedict up, she nearly collapsed to the floor from sixteen hours of full concentration.

Despite not being the operating surgeon, Julia was also well spent after the sixteen-hour surgery.
The two ladies practically supported each other out of the room.
Outside, the Gardners instantly stood on their feet and latched their gazes on Nicole as soon as she came out.
With that, Nicole pulled a ghastly smile, collected herself, and said in a low voice, “Old Mr. Benedict is okay now.”
Richard had arrived sometime during the surgery, and he hurriedly helped Julia up when he saw her wobbly legs.
Julia shook her head in response, indicating she was fine. “I’m just the assistant. Nicole has it worse than me.”
Meanwhile, Richard helped her to the couch to rest, looking at her with an aching heart.
Nicole leaned against the wall, but having stood for hours and being mentally exhausted had her on the verge of
blacking out.
With that, Colton helped her to the couch as well.
Nicole thought she could gradually feel her legs again after resting for a while. Then, she turned to Richard, having
trust issues now after experiencing Benedict’s unforeseen mishap.
