Chapter 8 Is It Her?

• Outside the operating room, a tall and attractive young man stood in front of the door.
• His face was hidden by a mask, leaving only his intense dark eyes visible.
• He wouldn't allow anyone near.
• The crowd facing him was furious and ready to lash out.
• Unfortunately, they had just made their attempt.
• They couldn't get anywhere near him.
• "Hey, step aside! Let Dr. Curran in! It's almost too late! Do you want to hurt my sister?"
• Hannah Laurier's voice trembled with desperation, nearly in tears.
• "He's going to amputate your sister's leg! Are you out of your mind? She's a dancer! How will she dance without her legs?!"
• Yosef remained firm and unmovable, as steadfast as a pine tree in a storm.
• His attractive eyebrows were slightly knitted together.
• Why hadn't Elaine shown up yet?
• As long as he was present, these people wouldn't be able to enter the operating room.
• But Anna ...
• Would she be able to wait until Elaine got there?
• Jay, clad in a white coat and holding the patient's examination file, had a stern expression.
• His face was stern as he instructed his assistant, "Call all the security guards and have them throw him out. You can't even handle a guy? You're so useless!"
• Time was critical.
• The procedure had already been delayed by about ten minutes.
• If it were postponed any further, not just the leg, but the patient's life could be at risk.
• Jay would not tolerate such a fundamental error.
• Yosef remained silent.
• He sneered with disdain.
• Even if a whole crowd arrived, it wouldn't make a difference.
• It wasn't enough to matter to him.
• Seeing him unmoved and with tears streaming down her face, Hannah cried out in desperation, "Anna's running out of time—what does it matter if she can dance or not? Please move aside! Who are you anyway? I'm begging you! Please!"
• Yosef was in a dilemma.
• He was slightly unsettled but remained in place.
• No, he was waiting for Elaine.
• When he looked up, he saw Elaine approaching quickly.
• He let out a slow sigh of relief.
• Even though Elaine was fully equipped, he recognized her immediately.
• No matter how well she disguised herself, he would still know her.
• "El ... "
• "Shh ... "
• Elaine gave Jay's stern face a quick glance and signaled Yosef for silence.
• Jay's sharp tongue was not to be taken lightly.
• Who was useless?
• Yosef promptly closed his mouth, understanding the situation.
• At that moment, Elaine was too focused on the urgent matter to concern herself with anything else.
• She pulled Hannah away from the crowd, speaking in a low voice.
• "To be brief, Hannah, I can save Anna. Not only can I save her life, but I can also save her leg."
• "You ... Who are you?"
• Hannah had only seen Elaine a few times before and didn't recognize her now.
• "Don't worry about who I am. If you want to save your sister, just follow my instructions."
• Elaine said to Hannah.
• Hannah looked into her eyes.
• They were clear and bright, holding a firm resolve.
• She knew she was taking a risk.
• However, she felt an inexplicable trust in the girl standing before her.
• More than anything, she wanted her sister to be safe and sound, rather than losing a leg to save her life.
• Hannah stepped into the bustling crowd and approached Jay.
• "Dr. Curran, I'm sorry, but I've found a doctor who is better suited to treat my sister. Could you please ask everyone to leave?"
• Jay's brow furrowed immediately.
• "Who is that?" he demanded, his sharp gaze shifting to the girl standing next to him, facing him sideways.
• Elaine was dressed in a pink hoodie adorned with cat ears, looking very cute.
• The hoodie was a gift from her mother, Rebecca.
• With her slender frame and youthful appearance, she looked like a high school student, no older than sixteen or seventeen.
• "Is it her?"
• Jay asked, pointing toward Elaine.
