Chapter 131 Chapter 131: Anyone who dared to operate risked losing the patient right on the table.
Casey looked up in shock and anger. "Are you insane? Can't you see how severe this is? Mr. Sampson's blood vessels can't withstand surgery. We should close the chest immediately and opt for conservative treatment." Khloe's eyes hardened, her stare as piercing and frosty as a blade. "If you refuse to operate, then leave this room now." Casey's expression darkened. Losing was not an option, especially if it meant kneeling before Khloe in front of everyone. The thought of such public humiliation was unbearable. She let out a sharp, disdainful snort, keeping her silence as she focused her attention on excising the tumor.
The moment she extracted a sizable portion, a gush of blood erupted, splattering across her face. Her hasty approach caused a blood vessel to rupture.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGasps filled the observation room, and Daryl quickly voiced his concern.
"This is serious. The tumor removal has caused vascular damage. If they don't act fast, Mr. Sampson could suffer from severe blood loss and face critical danger." "Orion, if she's out of her depth, you're next in line," someone suggested pointedly.
Orion stood with his arms folded, a smirk of derision playing on his lips. "I've made it clear-I'm not capable of handling this. Khloe's the one who vouched for her skill, so let her deal with it." Unspoken was the fact that Khloe had signed a waiver, freeing him from any liability.
In the operating room, alarms from the machines echoed as blood pressure readings wavered. Casey stumbled back, her scalpel clattering to the floor, her thoughts frozen in shock. A chilling realization hit her-she had made a catastrophic mistake.
Khloe cast a steady glance at Casey, her lips forming a tight line. Without hesitation, she clamped the ruptured vessel with hemostats. "Casey, keep going!" Casey's head shook vigorously, her voice breaking as tears welled up. "I can't do this! This surgery was your responsibility from the start. You're insane, and I refuse to match your level of madness.” Khloe's brow furrowed slightly. Casey had been the one to challenge her, insisting on handling the tumor. And now she was pointing fingers at her? Your escape begins with gVlnovls.[om Under the intense glare of the operating lights, Khloe's fingers tightened around the scalpel. “If you don't have the nerve, I'll take over. Switch positions!" Without wasting a second, she changed places with Casey.
Casey's face turned ghostly pale, her hands trembling.
Khloe's eyes shone with unwavering resolve. She plunged her hands into the bloody field, quickly stabilizing the vessel and halting the hemorrhage. Her movements were fluid and graceful, almost like a dancer's performance.
In a matter of moments, she had expertly sutured the vessel, stopping the bleeding entirely. The sutures were so precise they were almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than his face flushed with embarrassment. How could he have praised Khloe so openly?
No, it had to be a fluke. Her talent for suturing didn't guarantee she could manage the rest of this complex surgery. Meanwhile, Khloe maintained her focus, methodically excising the tumor with steady, confident hands.
Within a few short minutes, she had carefully extracted half of the tumor. The blood vessels remained stable, a stark contrast to the earlier chaos Casey had unleashed. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
