Chapter 616

“Can you come over now? We still haven’t figured out the best surgical plan.”

None of those guys can hold a candle to Caden. All they’ve got on duty were greenhorns.

They were not as experienced as Caden. They might be debating, but the final say was still in Caden’s

hands.

Caden didn’t have any better ideas either. This case hadn’t been seen at home yet.

The patient’s family had been to many hospitals. They ended up at Hope Hospital. If even Hope

Hospital can’t treat him, there’s practically no hospital in the country that would dare to take this case.

“It’s a critical situation.”

If he didn’t have 100% assurance, he wouldn’t be calling in the middle of the night; disturbing her rest.

“I’m on my way.”

As soon as Arabella said this, Romeo gave her fingers a squeeze, a look of jealousy and warning in his

eyes.

Arabella gently stroked his head, telling him to cut it out. This was a matter of life and death so there

was no room for fooling around.

But Romeo turned his face away, apparently miffed.

“Do you need any other doctors? I can call them. Who do you need? I’ll get them over right away.”

It’s nighttime and most doctors were gone, just a few interns left in the ER.

“No need. You’ll do.”

Caden’s words made Romeo even more jealous. He squeezed Arabella’s hand, daring her to say it

again.

“Should I have a friend pick you up from school?” Caden had to stay and monitor the patient. At this

hour, he’s the only doctor who can help.

“No need. I’ll get there myself.”

Romeo was even more pissed off.

After Arabella hung up, she saw Romeo’s anger. She took his hand and gave it a gentle shake.

His anger was somewhat placated by her gesture, which became softer.

“Do you think it’s appropriate to leave your fiancé in the middle of the night to meet another man?”

“Romeo.”

“I don’t want to hear your explanation.” Romeo seemed to have decided not to let her go..

“You’re misunderstanding.” Arabella took his hand and briefly explained the situation.

Her soft little hand made his anger disappear.

“If I don’t participate in this surgery, relying only on him, the risk is indeed high.”

Although the surgery was not complicated, the few people in the hospital at this time were not skilled

enough.

“You’re not a hospital employee.” Romeo was still upset. “And you’re on your period so you should

rest.”

“I don’t feel uncomfortable.” Arabella wanted to involve Romeo to reassure him, “You can come with

me.”

“What can I do?”

He can’t perform surgery. Would he just stand by and watch them talk in medical jargon and share

insights? That would make him feel worse.

“You can supervise me and see if I behave improperly or if I’m being flirtatious with other men.”

Romeo was amused by her.

Seizing the opportunity, Arabella said, “He’s been taking care of my grandma all along. We haven’t

been dating in private.”

Their communication was all about medicine, with no personal feelings involved.

“I’m aware of his intentions towards you.”

Romeo had noticed the way Caden looked at Arabella before. Those eyes clearly showed a love that

he wanted to control but couldn’t, mixed with restraint and

pain.

“Who would dare compete with you for your fiancée?” Arabella stood up, took his hand, and said,

“Come on, go with me.”
