The Replacement He Never Wanted

Chapter 489 Performing Surgery with Divine Healer

"Really?" Addison felt a surge of excitement in her chest. This was an extraordinary occurrence. Matthew had never allowed anyone to observe him before. Was she really witnessing such a rare moment? Watching a groundbreaking surgery could teach far more than any textbook, especially when the surgeon was someone renowned worldwide. "Why wait? You should come now, or it'll be too late," Matthew said with a look of feigned seriousness. Addison's face lit up with uncontainable joy. "No, no, I'm coming now!" In the cold silence of the operating room, an elderly man and a young woman stood side by side, both gloved and masked, holding the sharp surgical blade. The bright light above glinted off the cold steel, sending a sharp gleam through the room. From the outside, it appeared like a beautiful sight, filling anyone who saw it with admiration.Marilyn, watching in awe, gripped her son's arm and whispered, "Lance, did you see that? "Addison is actually operating alongside Divine Healer!" Her heart was a whirlwind of shock, amazement, admiration, love, and a touch of regret. Marilyn shook his arm, her voice trembling, "Lance, am I seeing things right? "Is Addison really working with Divine Healer? Lance, pinch me, please." Lance, momentarily distracted by his mother, glanced at Addison, his voice low. "You're not seeing things. "Addison is indeed right there, with Divine Healer." "Oh my goodness! My daughter-in-law is working with Divine Healer! She is truly impressive. If this becomes known, how many wealthy families in Halton will be jealous!" Marilyn gazed at Addison, deeply focused on the surgery, her eyes sparkling with admiration. Meanwhile, Virginia rolled her eyes in disdain. SowhatifshewasassistingDivineHealer in surgery? Shewasn'toneherself—just a helper. Therewasnothingtomake a bigdealoutof. Her lack of understanding was painfully obvious. Butwhydid Addison insistonstayingsoclosetoDivineHealer? Virginia always viewed people in two ways: either as "soaring high like clouds" or "stuck low like mud." To her, no matter how hard the mud tried to lift itself, it could never reach the sky, particularly someone like Addison. By clinging to Divine Healer, all she was doing was setting herself up for failure, making her appear even more foolish. Virginia turned her head away with a cold expression. However, after a brief moment, she glanced at the eager Marilyn and the quiet Lance, and something clicked in her mind, causing a smirk to appear on her face. Addison's bold attachment to Divine Healer might not be entirely harmful to her, after all. If she made a mistake that resulted in trouble for Divine Healer ... after all, in the operating room, even the smallest error could have deadly consequences.If Steven were to die because of her slip-up, Addison wouldn't have any reasonable excuse to offer. It would be easy to twist the situation in her favor. Even if Addison didn't make any mistakes, everyone now knew she was involved in this surgery. In the future, if she wished to harm Steven, she could easily shift the blame onto Addison. Thinking of this, Virginia felt much better, and the irritation she had earlier faded away. She was so much in love that she poured herself a cup of tea and savored it alone, her mood lighter than before.
