Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 255

"Doctor, how is the situation?"

"After the rescue, Old Mr. Hansen has managed to recover his life."

The doctor's words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, especially Lydia, who hurriedly made a gesture of gratitude and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

But Mark's expression paused for a moment.

Luckily, everyone was looking at the doctor, so his unusual expression went unnoticed by most people.

"However, the current condition of Old Mr. Hansen is still not optimistic. We must perform the valve replacement surgery as soon as possible. Although the surgery is relatively mature now, the success rate is extremely low due to the severe heart failure."

The doctor's words made the complexion of the members of the Hansen family change again.

Byron's expression turned serious as he pressed the doctor for more information, asking, "What is the success rate?"

"Due to the extremely severe heart failure of Old Mr. Hansen, the assessed success rate is only around ten percent."

Lydia burst into tears once again. "Oh, dear God, please spare my elderly father. I am willing to trade thirty years of my own life to give him more than ten years, so he can witness his yet-to-be-born great-grandchild and see Byron start a family and build a career."

However, whether this prayer was entirely sincere or partly put on for show, discerning people could see through it clearly.

Mark furrowed his brow, unsure about what he was thinking.

"However, if you can get Professor Smith to perform the surgery personally, the success rate will significantly increase. There was a patient with a condition even more severe than Old Mr. Hansen's who, after undergoing valve replacement surgery with Professor Smith's direct involvement, is still healthy and alive to this day."

"Has Professor Smith gone abroad?" Eason chimed in, asking at the right moment.

"Professor Smith is currently in Kinton, and there's no point in trying to find him."

Almost in that instant, their gaze turned towards Cora.

Byron also looked at Cora with a slight frown and asked, "How do you know that Professor Smith is not in New York?"

Before Cora could respond, Jane quickly said, "Dr. Lane, I met with Professor Smith yesterday and had some academic discussions with him!"

Cora didn't pay much attention to Jane's almost boastful tone and calmly met Byron's gaze.

"Professor Smith was called to Kinton for an emergency symposium on atherosclerosis, so he rushed there overnight. Besides, it's pointless to seek his help because he didn't perform that surgery back then."
