Athena hadn't expected that when she arrived at the hospital ready to help, she would see Elijah there too. When Elijah saw Athena's curious gaze, he said to her, "We have a lot of patients. Several are in critical condition and need emergency surgery. Go prepare right away." Hearing Elijah's words, Athena didn't dare to argue. She immediately turned and went to prepare. After Athena put on her sterile gown, she noticed Elijah was wearing one too. She couldn't help but wonder if Elijah was going to observe the surgery. Maybe since he'd just taken over the hospital, he wanted to be hands-on and didn't trust anyone? Athena felt frustrated, but Elijah was now the hospital administrator. She kept quiet. She walked toward the operating room. Once Athena entered work mode, she was completely professional and pushed everything else to the back of her mind. She didn't notice that her assistant had been switched out and replaced with Elijah. Without turning her head, she said to the person behind her, "Hemostat." A hand passed her the hemostat, but it wasn't the usual slender female hand she was used to. Athena's movements paused. She looked back and discovered the person standing behind her was actually Elijah. Her brow furrowed. Did Elijah even know what he was doing? Athena had originally thought he was just there to observe, but she hadn't expected him to actually assist. Based on her distrust of Elijah, Athena immediately became extra vigilant. She had to stay completely focused to avoid any mistakes.She'd braced herself for problems to arise. But unexpectedly, every instrument she needed, Elijah passed to her accurately and without error. He didn't cause any trouble at all. Did Elijah actually know what he was doing? Athena couldn't help but become curious. ... At that moment, a figure stood outside the operating room, looking through the glass at what was happening inside. The accident was so severe, even Maya had come to help. Although she wasn't performing surgery, she was still helping to treat patients. Maya had inadvertently passed by the operating room and noticed Athena inside. What shocked her even more was seeing Elijah there. He's in there too? Maya recalled the conflict between Zaden and Elijah today. She knew Zaden must be very dissatisfied with Elijah, and now Elijah was together with Athena. The two were coordinating with each other, and they looked quite in sync. Perhaps if she only showed this to Zaden once, he wouldn't care too much. But what if these instances accumulated? People couldn't always trust someone unconditionally. Maya pulled out her phone and took a photo of the scene in the operating room. At that moment, Elijah happened to be picking up a surgical instrument to hand to Athena, and their hands touched. The image froze at that instant. The two really looked quite familiar with each other. Maya looked at the photo on her phone, and the corner of her mouth curved into a smile. She put her phone away, planning to use it at the most perfect moment. Athena performed several surgeries in a row, almost equal to a full day's workload. They were a private hospital, so usually there weren't that many patients. Although Athena was busy every day, she didn't need to work overtime. Today was unusually demanding. After the last surgery was successful, Athena finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. Athena's eyes held a trace of fatigue, and her vision was already blurry. She took off her surgical gown, disinfected, and returned to the break room. She had just sat down in a chair when the break room door was pushed open. Athena saw Elijah's figure. Her brow furrowed and her expression grew frustrated. Why did he keep haunting her like a ghost? Athena looked at Elijah and asked, "Do you need something, Mr. Elijah?" Elijah sat down in the chair in front of Athena, though he didn't get too close, so Athena didn't feel pressured. He looked at Athena and said, "Nothing much. Just came to chat with you. Is that not allowed?" Athena was speechless. She had no interest in talking to him. However, Elijah had now taken over the hospital. He was basically her direct superior. Athena didn't want to defy him, afraid of being given a hard time later. She looked at Elijah and asked, "What do you want to talk about? I don't have much time. My daughter is home alone waiting for me. She'll be scared." Elijah could tell Athena was using her daughter as an excuse.He said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, you don't have a daughter, do you? That's Zaden's daughter." Hearing Elijah say this, Athena felt unhappy. She instinctively became protective. She immediately retorted, "I'm Mrs. Storm now. Zaden's daughter is my daughter. What's the problem with that?" Athena threw the words right back at him, using Elijah's own statement to question him in return.
