Nora didn't look at him anymore. Instead, she went straight into the changing room.
Michael stood outside the door, totally frozen in place.
What Ms. Smith had said just now... Was she saying that she was Anti?
This... Surely not?
Michael swallowed hard. He had really never once imagined that Nora might possibly be Anti. After all, it took time for one to train their skills in surgery, and one needed to perform many operations in order to cultivate a feel for things.
Most of the amazing surgeons in their industry were middle-aged. Not only could they keep up in terms of stamina, but they were also experienced. Therefore, everyone assumed that Anti must be a middle-aged man or woman.
Nora... was a little too young!
Given her age, she might not even be good enough to be Lily, Anti's first assistant, right?
W-was... was she really Anti?
While Michael's expression was changing again and again, Nora had changed and came back out. Her hair was tied up, and she was wearing a surgical gown and a surgical cap.
Surgical caps were fastened very tightly to prevent hair from being exposed. This was to prevent people from bringing germs and bacteria into the operating room.
Most people looked very ugly wearing it, but when Nora's face was fully exposed like this, it instead made her look even more stunning.
She had a very cold expression on her countenance, and her eyes were downcast. The air around her was still as casual as ever.
She had previously given Michael a lazy and frivolous feeling, but she felt completely different now—this was self-assurance and confidence!
As expected of his idol, indeed!
Michael's eyes were shining. He simply watched as she walked over to the sink next to him. After washing her hands and fingers carefully, she looked back at him...
Michael was so excited that he wanted to run a few laps around the hospital.
He had finally met his idol!!
At the sight of him staring at herself as though he had gone daft, Nora's almond-shaped eyes narrowed a little as she smiled at Michael and said, "Anti is human, not a god."
Michael,"!!"
He suddenly thought of how he had refuted Nora and misunderstood that she was looking down on Anti when she had said that previously. But in the end, she was just being self-effacing!
He suddenly flushed crimson all over his face. He swallowed and said, "Ant—"
However, before he could finish, footsteps coming toward them suddenly rang out. They were likely from the medical staff who had finished putting on their surgical gowns and were about to enter.
Nora abruptly turned her head and suddenly stretched out a finger, gesturing to him to keep quiet.
Michael's words immediately became stuck in his throat.
Nora took out a surgical mask and quickly put it on, followed by a pair of goggles. Her movements were neither too quick nor slow; it was as if she had calculated the time just right. By the time they entered, she had completely covered herself up.
No one could see her original appearance at all when she was all covered up like that.
"Is Anti ready, Michael?"
A voice reached them before the others even approached. Right on the heels of it, Tina led the few medical staff over to wash their hands. When they saw Anti, who had already changed, the whole group was stunned.
Someone couldn't stop themselves from asking softly, "Professor... Anti?"
Nora looked at them. Her gaze swept past Tina to ultimately fall on Lisa, who was standing at the back of the crowd but also staring at her with bright and shiny eyes like Michael.
She nodded slightly, making the group of people excited.
"Anti, you are my idol!"
"Professor Anti, I'm so lucky to be able to watch you perform an operation with my own eyes!"
