Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 80

The nurse was momentarily stunned; she hadn't expected me to say that. "Who are you?"

"I'm Jace Ranford. You can look me up online. Hurry up and prepare the operating room, or it's going to be too late."

The nurse was still hesitating when a sharp voice rang nearby. "What are you waiting for? Prepare the operating room now! This is a matter of life and death. We're a hospital. We can't just stand by and watch a patient die."

The nurse immediately nodded and rushed off to get people to prepare the operating room.

I turned around and saw a woman in a white coat walking toward me. When she saw me, she smiled. "Dr. Ranford, what a coincidence. We meet again. I'm Nadine Thorpe."

I didn't recognize her at all. I frowned and asked, "Are you a doctor here? Can't you perform the surgery?"

Nadine was taken aback before she shook her head. "I'm a gynecologist. This isn't my area of expertise."

That explained it. I nodded, and my expression softened. "This hospital was the only one nearby, and given how urgent this is, we'll have to borrow your operating room."

"No problem. I trust your skills."

Nadine seemed to have full confidence in me. Not long after, the operating room was ready, and Nadine called over another nurse so the two of them could assist me.

The surgery process wasn't smooth; in fact, it was extremely challenging. Nonetheless, I had performed over a thousand surgeries in my career, and I had seen worse.

I maintained my composure. Since Nadine and the nurse were quite obedient as they assisted me, the surgery was finally over after six hours.

Once the patient was wheeled out, I removed my mask as exhaustion hit me.

"Take him to the ward and put him on an IV drip. I'll write up a prescription later."

"Got it."
