To Queenie, Zachary's confession was intensely revolting.
However, she was somewhat pleased with Zachary's plan of putting Arielle behind bars. Her lips lifted into a forced smile as she said, “We shall wait for that to come then. Though I don't think she deserves that severe punishment for bragging, she is indeed causing harm to patients if she can't keep to her promise.”
Queenie paused before continuing, “Oh yeah, where are the patient's close kins? I should go and meet them. Let me be in charge of this surgery.
“I'll bring you over.”
Zachary then led the way while Queenie followed behind.
In no time, they came before Henrick. “Greetings, this is Dr. Queenie Mill. She'll be the chief surgeon for the surgery this time.”
Henrick's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing Queenie. “Dr. Mill! I've long heard your name. You're a lot prettier than on the television.”
Countless appearances on various talk shows had brought immense fame for Queenie in Jadeborough. Hence it was no surprise that Henrick could recognize her.
Queenie smiled as she nodded her head in acknowledgment. “You're too kind. I'll be in charge of the surgery this time. But before we get started, we have to wait for the arrival of the robotic pacemakers that someone had promised to send us.”
With a serious look on his face, Henrick immediately asked, “Can my mom undergo surgery without that device? I'm worried she can't afford any more delays...”
“Rest assured. I've visited the patient earlier. I believe she can wait till the devices are delivered.
The other party has promised to deliver the devices before midnight tomorrow. We'll begin the surgery once we get them.”
“Then...” Henrick sounded hesitant. “What if the devices don't arrive on time?”
