Chapter 456

The moment their eyes met, Scarlett's breath hitched in her throat.

"The patient is temporarily out of danger. If there's no fever within 24 hours, she'll regain consciousness."

Aunt Margaret burst into tears.

Scarlett stood frozen, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Medical staff wheeled the hospital bed toward the ICU while the others crowded around Evelyn Roland, their gazes filled with admiration.

The young woman remained expressionless, as if she'd just performed a routine procedure.

"Miss Roland's medical skills are extraordinary for someone so young..."

"Far superior to certain so-called experts who only chase fame!"

Dr. Neil Harrison's face flushed crimson.

Scarlett kept her head down, avoiding Evelyn's piercing gaze.

"I'm going to see Grandma."

Sebastian Valdemar's icy voice cut through the air. "Miss Galatea, this isn't over yet."

Every eye in the corridor turned toward Scarlett.

"Dr. Harrison, didn't you claim the situation was critical?"

Beads of sweat formed on Neil's forehead. "I did everything I could! If not for my initial resuscitation efforts—"

"So you're saying I merely reaped the benefits of your work?" Evelyn's lips curved in a humorless smile.

"Pull the surveillance footage," Sebastian commanded, his tone glacial.

Scarlett clenched her fists. "Check it!"

"No!" Neil suddenly lunged forward.

Evelyn's eyes darkened as she delivered a swift kick.

Thud.

Neil crashed to the floor, his face a mask of disbelief.

"You—"

"Silence." The single word dripped with impatience.

The entire hallway fell deathly quiet.
