Chapter 13 I’m Warning You
“Cora, your mother’s me tal state is not stable. Try not to provoke her any further,” reminded Matt,
Flora’s attending
doctor, after finishing his examination.
“I’ll be more careful next time,” Cora said, visibly depressed.
Matt changed the subject. “How’s your internship going lately?”
Aside from being Flora’s doctor, Matt was also Cora’s schoolmate and a surgeon at the First Hospital.
“It’s been going well. I’ve been learning a lot in the emergency room,” Cora replied.
“That’s great! Professor Smith has high hopes for you to become the best surgeon in the cardiac
surgery department. The
prosthetic valve dysfunction replacement surgery you performed two years ago is considered a classic
case, mentioned
by every professor in the Department of Medicine.”
Normally, medical students who hadn’t graduated yet could only serve as assistants, even if they had
the opportunity to
observe surgeries under Professor Smith.
However, Cora possessed exceptional talent, and Professor Smith held her in high regard.
He had entrusted Cora to be the primary surgeon in the prosthetic valve dysfunction replacement

allowing her to lead the operation.
Of course, Professor Smith was there to guide her every step of the way. If anything went wrong, he
could intervene and
correct it promptly.
As it turned out, Professor Smith’s faith in Cora was justified. She performed exceptionally well in that
complex surgery,
setting a new record as the youngest surgeon in the cardiac surgery department with outstanding
results.
Enter title…
Matt served as the third assistant during that surgery and was always excited to talk about Cora’s
exceptional
performance ever since.
“Another genius doctor joined us lately, by the way. She ski ped grades and obtained a master’s degree
in junior high,
then pursued medical studies abroad. I’m curious to know who between you and this doctor is better.”
The admission standards at the medical university Cora attended were much higher than those of
typical universities.
Thus, upon graduation, Cora earned three qualifications: a doctoral candidate, a doctorate, and a
professional doctor’s
certificate.
Having ski ped grades to become a medical student during her junior high years, Cora was a shining
example that
ordinary students like Matt Cohen admired.
Now, hearing about another straight-A student like Cora joining the hospital, it was inevitable for Matt
and others to make
comparisons.
But Matt did not know that being a doctor held no value to Cora’s mother.
When Cora decided to s ip grades and pursue medicine, Flora was vehemently opposed to it.
It was only through the persuasion of her father and brother that Flora reluctantly gave in.
With the Lane family in dire straits and Cora unable to help due to professional constraints, she now
blamed herself for
not heeding Flora’s advice back then.
Thankfully, Matt noticed Cora’s pale face and promptly changed the subject.
Cora returned to the emergency room, where Sally intercepted her to share some gossip.

“Old Mr. Hansen has been experiencing heart problems lately, and he came to our hospital,” Sally
informed Cora, “Eason
the Dog and Mia visited him this morning. That jerk is surely good at kissing butts! I should’ve dumped
the trash can on
his head when I had the chance!”
“…Eason the Dog?”
“Yes! That’s what I’m gonna call him from now on.”
‘No need to insult a dog!’ Cora thought.
But she didn’t pay much attention to that piece of gossip.
Even though Cora had slept with Byron, considering Byron’s relationship with Eason, it was impossible
for Cora and
Byron to become a couple.
Yet, while accompanying a patient to the ward, Cora met Mia, who wouldn’t let Cora by a s her.
“Cora, what are you doing here?”
“This is a hospital, not your home,” Cora replied without even sparing her a glance, intending to leave.
But Mia continued
to block her way.
“I’m warning you. Don’t use your position to get close to Eason!
