Zoe gasped and took a step back as she watched Alyssa approach with a cold determination.

Despite wearing heels, Zoe was still shorter than Alyssa. However, the height wasn't the problem. Alyssa had outshined Zoe in terms of her inner qualities and her intimidating air. Zoe was reduced to nothing In front of Alyssa.

"W-What are you doing?" Zoe gasped. She turned white.

"Nothing much. I just want to clear your doubts," Alyssa replied with a calm smile and took off her surgeon cap. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders in a sassy way.

She announced, "Your dear Jasper is out of critical condition. You don't have to pray for him anymore."

Then, she whispered into Zoe's ear, "You should just ask for my help instead of praying. Since he got hurt because of me, I'll treat him till he's recovered. So, please don't waste your time worrying for him." Zoe was trembling in rage at Alyssa's provocation. It seemed that Alyssa had overheard what she said in the corridor.

Just as she was thinking hard on a clapback, Landon joined them, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He blurted out, "Lyse, you know how to perform surgery?"

"Of course," she replied crossly and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She had just made it through a long surgery and wasn't in the mood to talk.

"No, I mean, you're cool! You're the best!" Landon scrambled for compliments.

She gave him a side-eye and shook her head, saying, "If you studied harder in school, you could use adjectives with more than two syllables."

Alyssa couldn't help but wonder how someone as lovely as Lauren ended up with a shallow man like Landon, whose only redeeming quality was his wealth. Zoe quivered in resentment, wishing that Landon would shut up.

Suddenly, they heard urgent footsteps approaching from the corridor.

The hospital director, Abel Liverton, hurried over with the deputy director and two experts to greet Winston and Jonah. Their expressions were a mix of eagerness and politeness.

"Abel, skip the formalities. I didn't call you because you're a busy man," Winston remarked. It seemed that a person of Winston's social stature was more inclined to act with generosity and open-mindedness.

He continued, "Abel, meet my daughter, Alyssa, the one I've spoken so highly of many times." Winston proudly pulled Alyssa to his side and added, "It may be hard to believe, but she's an exceptional doctor. She just completed a ten-hour-long surgery. She freaking cracked open a brain!"

Jonah and Landon shuddered upon hearing Winston's crude description. Abel and the deputy director exchanged looks and turned to Winston in shock.

Abel stammered, "M-Mr. Taylor, is she really your daughter?"

Winston furrowed his brow at the strange question. "What's that supposed to mean? She's definitely not yours!"

Abel clarified, "No, no. What I meant was, were you unaware of her reputation?"

Winston looked puzzled. "What reputation?"

Taking a deep breath, Abel proceeded to introduce Alyssa to everyone with great respect and admiration.
