Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 556

After wrapping up his explanation, Dr. Ray jogged out of the lab, his white coat flapping behind him.

The rest of the team scrambled to gather their gear and followed him briskly. Outside, a large bus was already idling, ready to whisk them away.

Once everyone was on board, Dr. Ray briefed them on the situation. Just thirty minutes ago, the Mayor's car had collided with a truck on the East Ring Road, leaving him severely injured. He had been rushed to the city hospital, but the injury was dangerously close to his heart. The city hospital's doctors felt out of their depth and had called in Dr. Ray for his expertise.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the hospital. The Hospital Director was already at the entrance, anxiously awaiting their arrival. Seeing Dr. Ray step off the bus, he rushed over.

"Ray, thank goodness you're here! We need you in the OR right away."

The Director and Dr. Ray were old friends, familiar enough to skip the formalities, especially given the life-or-death situation. They sprinted into the hospital, with Shawn and the others close behind, Flora trailing slightly.

"Shawn, Darcy, you two are with me in the OR," Dr. Ray instructed as they hustled alongside the Director. After a brief pause, he added, "Flora, you too."

The senior team members couldn't help but show their envy. Dr. Ray always brought a couple of apprentices into the OR for surgeries—a rare opportunity. Some had been at the lab for years without ever getting such a chance, stuck observing from outside.

While there was envy, there wasn't any ill will towards Flora. Her talent was clear, and Dr. Ray's decision to mentor her made sense. Only Alexa seethed with jealousy, silently fuming but too cautious to voice her displeasure.

Shawn, thrilled that Flora was chosen, quickly pulled her aside to start the pre-op preparations. He was a regular here and knew the drill inside out.

Ten minutes later, Dr. Ray, Shawn, Darcy, and Flora, now clad in sterile garb, entered the operating room. The rest of the team stayed outside, watching through the glass.

Inside, several doctors and nurses were ready to assist Dr. Ray.

"Dr. Ray," they greeted him respectfully as he walked in.

Outside, Alexa and the others were spellbound by his skill. Dr. Ray was something else! Even from a distance, watching through glass, it was worth it.

Inside the OR, the doctors and nurses observing Dr. Ray were profoundly impressed. He lived up to his reputation as the "Reaper's Nemesis."

Shawn and Darcy's eyes sparkled with excitement and admiration. Flora, watching Dr. Ray's steady hands and calm demeanor, couldn't help but feel a surge of respect.

"We've got it under control!" a doctor exclaimed.

Dr. Ray's choice of central catheterization should have made it impossible to see the bleeding point directly, yet he had managed to accurately locate and stop the bleeding.

Dr. Ray truly was a master of his craft.
