Cao Yong glanced at the hands of his watch and said routinely, "I’ve previously talked to the patient and her family. If the situation remains unchanged after the expert’s consultation, the surgery is scheduled for this afternoon. — Director Zhai, do you want to stay here and watch the surgery before leaving?"

Since President Xiao was genuinely concerned, having the expert remain here to see the surgery to its conclusion would be an explanation to everyone.

"Dr. Cao." Deputy Director Lv commented that there was no need to have someone supervise the surgery like a warden.

"No problem. Once we’re in the operating room, Director Zhai knows that as the chief surgeon, I have the final say, and he can only stand aside." Cao Yong replied.

Senior Cao was so domineering. A group of senior and junior disciples felt their blood boiling.

Deputy Director Lv naturally had nothing more to say.

As for Zhai Yunsheng, whether he was willing to accept such a proposal and arrangement.

His nephew’s suggestion was in line with clinical norms, so Zhai Yunsheng nodded and said, "It’s your arrangement, Dr. Cao."

After the meeting, everyone immediately got up to prepare to visit the patient in the ward.

The sound of chairs being pulled back resounded, and Xie Wanying instantly remembered to withdraw. She turned and quickly walked to the nurses’ station to find a place to hide. Eavesdropping felt like being on tenterhooks.

A large group of footsteps emerged from the meeting room heading towards the ward.

At the patient’s bedside, Zhai Yunsheng personally inquired about and examined the patient’s condition, ultimately confirming that it was consistent with what was discussed in the meeting.

The surgery was scheduled for the afternoon. With Cao Yong’s prior explanation and the expert’s review, Mr. Liu felt at ease and followed the doctor to the office to sign the surgical consent form.

As they were leaving the ward, Zhai Yunsheng suddenly turned his head and said to his nephew, "Let her come to the operating room in the afternoon to watch."

The group following them overheard this ambiguous remark and were unsure whom the great boss, Zhai Yunsheng, was referring to for watching the surgery in the operating room.

Song Xueling’s gaze subtly shifted towards the nurses’ station.

Huang Zhilei, adjusting his glasses, caught the look in Cat Song’s eyes and could confirm where the little junior sister was hiding.

After Cao Yong responded with, "Mm."

Huang Zhilei strode to the nurses’ station and soon found Xie Wanying hiding behind the screen.

"Yingying. Senior Cao said you’re allowed to watch the afternoon surgery." Huang Zhilei said.

Unexpectedly caught so quickly by Senior Brother Huang, Xie Wanying, who was drinking water, nearly choked, coughing and clearing her throat, she subtly studied Senior Brother Huang’s expression: When did he realize it? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Huang Zhilei couldn’t help but smile wryly, saying, "Did you think we didn’t notice?"

Embarrassment was overwhelming. Even Senior Brother Huang noticed her eavesdropping at the door, indicating how unsuccessful her attempt was. Presumably, the seniors spared her dignity by not pointing it out. Trying to emulate Doctor Song’s stealth was evidently not her forte.

"Yes, Senior Brother." As usual, Xie Wanying chose to confess honestly.

"The surgery preparation starts at two-thirty in the afternoon. You can come at three, no rush." Huang Zhilei advised her to rest well at noon. Medical students are also very busy and need to seize any available downtime.

She could watch Senior Cao perform surgery in the afternoon. Recalling it, this wasn’t her first time watching Senior Cao perform surgery. On her first day of clinical observation, she had seen Senior Cao operating, but from such a distance that she couldn’t see clearly. Today’s afternoon surgery might truly mark the first time she would see Senior Cao perform surgery up close.

For some reason, she felt her heart racing.
