The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 290

Percival gave her a rather aloof grunt “What is it?”

“I heard Richard had a car accident. Seeing that the man in front of her paid absolutely no attention to

her, Calista clenched her fingers and squeezed out a smile. “The surgery was very successful. I

wonder who the surgeon was Could you introduce me?”

“No” Percival coldly glanced at the woman in front of him, not mincing his words in his response.

Calista was taken aback, and her smile from on her face I came based on her reputation, Mr. Ellington.

You don’t need to be so sensitive

“And?” Percival’s attitude did not soften at all but rather became more indifferent

“1 “Calista wanted to say something else but Percival didn’t give her another glance. He quickly turned

around to leave

Just as Percival left. Paul, who had been feeling a bit restless in the hospital room, came out.

He saw Calista and was slightly surprised “Calista, what brings you here?”

Calista snapped out of her depressed daze. She smiled and said. “I came to check on Richard”

“Oh Paul was now very sensitive to the name Richard and didn’t feel like continuing the conversation,

so he said. “Then go in. My grandfather is in the room”

With that, Paul turned to leave

“Wait” Calista suddenly called out to him.

Paul stopped in his tracks Is there something else?”

“I heard that the doctor who treated your grandfather is very good. Can you tell me who she is?” Calista

asked

At the mention of this, Paul’s anger flared up. “Good? She’s nothing more than a blind cat! What kind of

medical skills does Vivienne, that country bumpkin, have? Mentioning her is bad luck Paul didn’t want

to talk to Calista anymore and turned to leave

Calista stood in disbelief. She could hardly believe her ears.

Vivienne?

The one who performed the surgery on Richard was Vivienne?

How could this be?

Even if she knew enough medical skills to fool people, there was a huge gap between performing

surgery and regular checkups.

But according to the hospital staff, Vivienne’s medical skills were really exceptional

Not

She didn’t believe it!

This must be people over–glorifying Vivienne again!

Calista clenched her teeth and pushed the door into the room open, only to see Ryan and Cathy, who

hadn’t left.

Richard was lying in bed already fast asleep.

Dr Pendleton ”

The Ellington and Pendleton families didn’t cross paths much, but Cathy had heard about Calista from

friends

Since the was from a prominent medical family, Calista’s reputation was quite well known.

“Hello” Calista politely greeted her I heard about Richard, so I came to check on him.”

“It’s good that you came, I was worried about what to do.” Cathy quickly walked up to her clutching her

like her last lifeline “Ever since the surgery, the old man has lost his appetite and has become quite

sleepy Could it be that Vivienne made a mistake during the surgery? Dr. Pendleton, please help us!”

Calista was still reeling from the blow of being overshadowed by Vivienne Hearing this, rather than

worrying about the old man’s health, she felt a bit relieved

That Vivienne couldn’t possibly have the ability to perform surgery. It seemed she was just a looker with

no real talent

if Richard was having these symptoms night after the surgery, there must have been a mishap during

the procedure

She pretended to give Richard a serious examination, then raised her head and asked senously, “You

said Vivienne performed the surgery? Does she even have a medical license? How date she perform

surgery?

Cathy was taken aback by her question and turned to look at Ryan

“Yeah! Vivienne doesn’t even have a medical license! How could she operate on the old man?”

Ryan, who had been sent the whole time, slapped his thigh in regret “That little wretch fooled us all!

She’s not a doctor at all! How could she have the guil to stop into the operating room” is she

disregarding the old man’s life?!

15 a very serious matter Any slight negligence can lead to fatal problema Calista added fuel to the fire

“Vienne was far too reckless.

Just as she finished speaking Vivienne walked into the room after dealing with some matters

Upon seeing Ryan and Cathy still there plus an extra Calista in the room Vivienne Karowed her brows

slightly.

“Grandfather mentioned that he wanted to rest” She crossed her arms and coldly watched the couple,

not even glancing at Calista

You can cut the act After hearing what Calista had sart Cathy straightened up Dr. Pendleton said you

don’t even have a medical licenser You had no right to operate on the old man! You could go to jail for

this

I think you have ulterior motives Ryan, who originally kept quiet, now angrily pointed at Vinerne “You

want to harn the old man

Vivienne shot him a glance, and Ryan quickly withdrew his finger

His memories of being choked by her disciples were still fresh in his mind, and he didnt know why he

felt auch bear. He completely lost all courage in front of Viventa

“I don’t have a license? Vivienne sheered at Calista as she crossed her arms. T seems like you know

me very well

Calista lett a surge of anxiety well up within her She indeed had not checked and just casually

mentioned that Vivienne lacked a license, but the old mame kaas of appetite and constant sleepiness

were facts that Cathy herself had conveyed

Chapter 290

“Can you deny that there were no issues with your surgery?” She pointed at Richard on the bed as her

tone grew heavier. “Richard is still unconscious Isnt that proof

enough?

Vivienne laughed, as if she had heard a joke

“What’s so funny about saving lives? Are you treating human lives like they’re nothing? Calista said

with indignation,

Damn that Vivienne!

She dared to mock her?!

“Enough”

Before Vivienne could respond, Richard lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. “Nonsense! Who

is doubting Vivienne’s medical skills?

Calista was taken aback.

Hadn’t Cathy said that the old man had been sleeping so deeply that he couldn’t be awakened? But

now he was not only awake, but he also seemed more vigorous than ever “Richard She put aside her

surprise and composed herself “Are you alright?

“Should there be something wrong with me?” Richard retorted. “You all are making my head ache with

your incessant bickering. I was merely pretending to sleep to avoid the hassle yet I heard you all

criticizing Vivienne

He cast an unsatisfied glance at Calista “Some people, despite being renowned doctors from

prestigious families, can’t even tell the difference between a patient pretending to sleep and being

unconscious” He said, mocking her so called skills

Calistas face flushed and then paled under Richard’s sarcastic reprimand. How could she have known

that Vivienne actually had the skills to restore Richard to his usual state”
