Chapter 352 Finding Out Her Identity
As Benedict was very cooperative, Nicole didn’t need to spend much effort. She was able to collect all of his health data in just one morning.
However, her expression was severe when she looked at the report. Although she knew that Benedict’s health was bad, it was even more serious than she imagined now that she read the report.
Staring at her face that was turning grimmer with each passing second, Colton could already guess it and he asked, “You’re not confident of this?”
Shaking her head, she flipped through the data in her hands before turning to him and said, “Let’s go to the living room, and I’ll tell it to Mr. and Mrs. Gardner as well.”
He nodded in agreement.
Due to the series of checkups earlier, Benedict was tired and had fallen asleep. Meanwhile, Julia was helping to conduct tests on the blood which was eventually drawn out.
Led by Colton, Nicole approached the couches with the report in her hand and when Anna and Benjamin saw her coming toward them, they looked a little hopeful.
After taking a look at the report, Nicole lifted her gaze at them and explained, “Old Mr. Benedict’s health is more serious than I thought. However, there’s still a certain chance with an operation. If I’m the main surgeon, there’s more than a fifty percent chance.”
When Anna saw that Nicole seemed serious when she spoke, she was a little surprised and stared at Nicole. Parting her lips, she asked, “Nicole, do you really have so much confidence?”
Before this, the other doctors all mentioned twenty percent of chances, so the figure Nicole said now was considered high.
In response, Nicole nodded. Actually, if it was only referring to the surgery, she had at least ninety percent of confidence because of her self-confidence. In spite of that, Benedict’s physical health was simply so terrible that he may not be able to take the risk of the operation. Taking that into consideration, she came up with fifty percent.
“Yes. Initially, I planned to operate tomorrow, but after seeing Old Mr. Benedict’s health report, I think I’ll need to prepare some things. So, we’ll delay the surgery to make preparations. At the latest, the surgery can be performed this week.”
Hearing the confidence in Nicole’s voice, Anna felt much more assured. Without saying much, Benjamin stood up. “I’m going to take a look at Dad. If you really have so much confidence to treat him, the Gardners will owe you a favor.”
The Gardner Family was influential and wealthy, and there would be inexhaustible glory and wealth in this life to have the honor of being owed a favor by them.
Nicole didn’t have much to say and she nodded in acknowledgement. “I got it. Old Mr. Benedict is someone whom I regard to be my grandfather, so I’ll put in my best effort.” She paused for a couple of seconds before adding, “I’m going to keep the things away and make a move first.”
After she was out of the room, it slowly dawned on Anna as she spun her head to look at Colton, asking, “When did Nicole study medicine?”
Smirking, he answered in his husky voice, “She’s White Nicholson’s student.”
This time, she was shocked as her heart skipped a beat. “Is she really White Nicholson’s student?”
Colton nodded and stared at Anna as he explained, “Back then, White Nicholson died because he was set up by someone. Before his death, he advised Nicole not to continue practicing medicine. That’s why she has never disclosed her identity. This time, just take it that it’s Nicole who’s treating Grandpa, and not White Nicholson’s student.”
After hearing that Nicole was White’s student, Anna was assured. No wonder she seems so confident, she thought, and she understood the reason behind White’s advice to Nicole. By operating on Benedict, she would be violating her teacher’s will.
“I got it. I won’t tell anyone else about this, so don’t worry. But now that I know she’s White Nicholson’s student, I can have peace of mind,” she said with a relieved look.
