Chapter 29 The Surgery
“I can give it a try,” Angela sald. “My father has collaborated with this institute before,
“That would be wonderful,” Dean Foley exclaimed with joy,
Old Mrs. Wilson also excitedly grasped Angela’s hand. “Angela, if you can get these two experts,
whatever you want, Grandma will promise you,”
“Grandma, it doesn’t matter, as long as Henry gets better.”
Angela called her father, and then subtly glanced at Ava, Evelyn took a few years to almost handle all
members of The Wilson family, except for Ava and the annoying Lucas, who still treated her with
Indifference.
Based on this incident, she was determined to make Ava look at her in a new light.
Evelyn also fell into contemplation.
The NS Research Institute, the one her Grandma left to her, had the power to recruit renowned
individuals like Benjamin Mitchell and Nicholas Turner. She hadn’t expected the institute to have such
influence.
These two individuals, though currently known only domestically, would rise to the top of the medical
world five years later, thanks to a groundbreaking research project.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
The quiet corridor suddenly echoed with a series of ringing tones.
Angela joyfully took out her phone. “There must be good news.”
She turned the corner, and her father spoke up.
Chapter 29 The Surgery
“Angela, Benjamin Mitchell and Nicholas Turner are currently engaged in research and have no time.”
“Dad, is it because the money isn’t enough?” Angela looked anxious. “This matter is crucial to whether I
can enter The Wilson family. Please think of a way. Offer double the price, no, even better, triple or
quintuple.”
“If it can be bought with money, even if I have to sell the entire company, I’ll ensure you enter The
Wilson family with your head held high.”
“I’ll continue trying for you, but the chances are slim. Angela, this is my failure. Next time, next time, I’ll
make sure the path to enter The Wilson family is smooth for you.”
“I understand.”
Angela hung up the phone in disappointment.
She stood by the floor–to–ceiling window, thinking about how to explain when she returned.
Then she saw two familiar figures entering the outdoor elevator downstairs, heading straight to
the top floor.
Benjamin Mitchell and Nicholas Turner!
Angela smirked.
Her dad had always been straightforward. It seemed he finally thought of preparing a surprise
for her.
Angela quickly approached, welcoming Benjamin Mitchell and Nicholas Turner to the entrance
of the ICU.
“Grandpa, Grandma, the two experts have arrived.”
Old Mr. Wilson and Old Mrs. Wilson were surprised to see Benjamin Mitchell and Nicholas Turner
being truly invited by Angela, and then came the delight.
Without much delay, Henry was wheeled into the operating room.
This surgery was estimated to take four hours.
At the three–hour mark, Evelyn’s phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.

She answered, and Alexander’s voice came through.
“This old guy really wants to cause trouble. I think you need to come down.”
Evelyn asked, “Where?”
“The morgue.”
“…” Evelyn was somewhat speechless upon hearing the location.

She glanced at The Wilson family members, greeted only David, and then went downstairs.
“Can’t sit still after just three hours? And you’re pretending to be so concerned about Henry…” Old
Wilson expressed his dissatisfaction. Old Mrs. Wilson was focused on the operating room and ignored
him.
Angela spoke quietly, “Grandpa, some people are just naturally good at acting. It’s not worth
getting into trouble with them; it is not good to your health.” After saying this, she felt a chill
running down her spine.
It’s was Ava, she was staring at Angela with an ice–cold gaze.
“Dad, if it weren’t for Evelyn, Henry might have been in trouble today.”
Old Mr. Wilson did not approve, “If you want to thank someone, thank Angela for bringing these two
experts.”
Angela suddenly felt a triumphant sensation.
Ava sneered. She was not only referring to this surgery; she had heard every word in Alexander’s
phone call just now.
Old Mr. Wilson was always stubborn, and she didn’t plan to argue further.
“You might not like her, but Henry does. You should be clear about Evelyn’s place in Henry’s
heart, right?”
This sentence made Old Mr. Wilson and Angela feel a stabbing pain…
In the morgue.
Alexander’s two bodyguards were holding someone down.

That person seemed to have struggled, with clothes covered in dust, a red and swollen face, and
countless bruises. Only with careful scrutiny could one recognize him as the furious departure, Watson.
Alexander handed Evelyn a transparent glass bottle as she entered.
“When we caught him just now, he was about to swap this medicine for Henry’s. He definitely
has ulterior motives..”
The glass bottle was specially made, with no labels on it, and Evelyn’s hands were slightly trembling.
She recognized this medicine.
The effects of this medicine were similar to euthanasia, created by a secret organization in Country M.
In her previous life, it had caused harm to many people and was widely reported two
years later.
Evelyn thought Watson was only driven by self–interest, but she hadn’t expected him to be so
ruthless.
Suddenly, her eyes turned redden.
