The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 1355

While that meant Winter could not handle complicated cases and could not refine pills, her knowledge of acupoints, massaging, and skill with acupuncture could handle most of everything, albeit less effective than Frank could.

After all, people like Frank who mastered both martial arts and medicine were a rarity.

On the other hand, Paco was taken aback that Winter ignorantly took the scalpel, though he was soon laughing along with his assistants.

The surgical wing was a place of solemnity, and they were ruining it.

"Wait, chief." Paco smirked even as he walked up to Winter. "It's not like I'm belittling you, but you just graduated from university and did not go through your internship. This is your first time taking the scalpel, right?"

Winter nodded tamely and did not argue.

"Pfft…"

Paco stifled a laugh, while his assistants laughed out loud.

They were all elites here in Zamri Hospital, and all the qualified doctors were getting swamped with the sharp increase of patients.

It was how he had an excuse to have Winter take the scalpel.

"Look, chief—I don't know what your connection to Gene Pearce is, but this surgery isn't your typical case!"

Paco winked at Winter pointedly—from his point of view, a child like her who had just graduated was appointed chief? Who would believe her if she said she did not have an affair with Gene Pearce?

Everyone else thought so too, and it was a deliberate attempt of harassment when they had her take the case.

They would make an example of her, so that Gene would see reality and take her away already.

Even if she refused to take the case, he could go public, making it known across Zamri that Gene had installed his lover as the chief of Zamri Hospital.

It was a sacred place, and the news would undoubtedly invoke unrest.

Eventually, Gene would be overwhelmed by pressure to find another chief.

And being the most respected doctor in the building and being the most senior, it was the perfect opportunity for Paco to take over.

He was also positive that if Winter proved to be stupid enough to take the case, she had no chance of saving Gus Zeller since she had just graduated.

Soon, the Soranos would definitely come after Gene.
