Used to being in a position of authority, Harrison did not take no for an answer.
Jared was, unfortunately, well-aware of this fact, and he resorted to calling Carter for help.
Carter answered his call from the emergency room. After hearing out Jared's request, he replied hesitantly, “All right, the two of you can come in, but you'll need to put on scrubs. They're performing an open-chest surgery on him, and it's vital to keep the environment sterile.”
“I know.” With that, Jared hung up and explained the situation to Harrison.
His grandfather was more than aware of the risks of the need for stringent hygienic requirements during surgeries, having had his fair share of wounds and injuries in the army.
The two of them sanitized themselves and put on scrubs before entering the emergency room.
Jared and Harrison were struck silent upon seeing Harvey on the surgical table.
Queenie was getting ready to perform the open-chest surgery, and the sight of someone as high-profile as Harrison observing the surgery peaked her anxiety.
His murderous aura was palpable and impossible to ignore, a consequence of his years of experience commanding the battlefield.
“Are you the lead surgeon on Harvey's operation?” Harrison fixed his piercing gaze on Queenie.
He was at least two meters away from Queenie, but her hands could not help but fidget nervously at his question.
Even her voice shook as she replied, “Y-Yes, t-that's me.” “She looks too young to be a lead surgeon. Are you sure she's the best pick?”
Harrison glanced at Queenie before questioning Carter.
Carter nodded firmly. “She's the best surgeon in our hospital with a flawless track record. I'll make sure that she has our hospital's entire resources at her disposal.”
His words seemed to reassure Harrison, who then stared coldly at Queenie and barked, “You better perform the best damn surgery of your life, or I'll shoot you dead!”
Queenie broke out into a cold sweat.
Such an operation already had a low chance of success. Coupled with the bullet in his heart, they had no idea if Harvey's would be even worse than expected after cutting open his chest.
Harrison's threat had Queenie deciding then and there that she could not agree to lead the operation.
