Divorce never felt so good Novel by Adina Goodwill

Chapter 22 Layla immediately let out a scoff What she didnt realize was that her laugh sounded completely out of place in front of the emergency room , drawing puzzled frowns from several doctors and nurses who glanced at her .

Layla , oblivious to their stares , turned her mocking gaze on Isis Surgery ? You make it sound so easy ! Let me give you a little reality check ! This patient is elderly and suffering from severe heart failure .

His heart disease has been ongoing for years , and hes had multiple surgeries .

His heart is in such bad shape , its practically falling apart It couldnt handle even the smallest incision ! In this situation , I can confidently say that there isnt a single doctor in this country who would dare perform surgery on him! Laylas voice rang out with certainty .

She thought , Even I wouldnt risk operating on Samuel , let alone someone like Isis , who knows nothing at all .

She was sure that his would be too embarrassed to speak after hearing her , but to her surprise , Isis simply looked her in the eye and said two words .

I dare The room fell silent instantly .

Robert studied her carefully , his gaze lingering as if he found something vaguely familiar about her , but no matter how he looked at her , she was just an inexperienced young girl .

He thought .

How could she possibly be so bold ? Adrians jaw practically hat the floor .

He thought , Does his even know what she is saying ! Is she crazy ? She dares to perform surgery ! She probably hasnt even seen a scalpel in her life ! Layla , after a brief moment of stunned silence , burst out laughing .

Hi Do you even know what youre saying You dare ! Do you even know what surgery is ? Do you know where the heart is ? Do you think a scalpel is just a kitchen knife you use to chop vegetables ? Stop making a fool of yourself ! She thought .

Honestly , how could anyone be as clueless and foolish as laid ? With that , Layla wiped the smile from her face , adopting a cold , aloof expression .

Alright , enough of this nonsense .

Get out of here and stop getting in the way of us saving this patient ! She turned to Roben .

Dr.

Campbell , the patients heart could stop at any moment .

We need to administer the heart stimulant right away .

Robert sighed in resignation .

It seemed like they had no other choice .

He wondered .

Could we really trust this naive girl who has just appeared our of nowhere ! Just as he was about to give the go ahead , someone suddenly shouted , Mr.

Carter is here ? Roberts expression instantly softened with relief .

He thought .

Mr.

Carter has finally arrived ? This is great n news ! Samuel will be alive long enough to Isis raised an eyebrow .

She thought , Mr.

Carter ! Isnt that my employer for the day ? She turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw a tall man in a black trench coat striding toward them , flanked by a group of bodyguards .

He had a long , commanding figure and a sharp , cold face that radiated an aura of power one that made it clear he was not someone you approached lightly .

She thought .

Is this the ruthless and domineering head of the Carter family that Athena has told me about ! Isas suddenly realized the patient theyd been discussing must be none other than Samuel from the Carter family , the very one she was supposed to treat today .

Julian walked toward them with a chilling , distant gaze .

As his eyes landed on Isis , his expression briefly faltered , as though something stirred beneath the surface .

At that moment , Robert hurried forward , his voice urgent .

Mr.

Carter , youve arrived just in time ! Samuels condition is critical and we were about to administer the heart stimulant ! Laylas eyes gleamed as an idea struck her .

She pointed at Isis and said , Mr.

Carter , youve come at the perfect time ! There are people here getting in the way of us treating Samuel Have someone throw her out right away ! 1/2 Chapter 22 Lavda Adran couldnt help but speak out in protest He thought , What is Layla thinking Everyone knows how powerful the Carter family is , and Mr.

Carter , in particular , has a reputation for bring ruthless Publicy throwing his out would only make things worse for her Even though Isis and 1 are divorced , I dont want to see her harmed .

Besides , if Isis , in a moment of panic , brings up our past connection , it can cause trouble .

This is the hospital , our workplace , after all ! Sure enough , after hearing Laylas words , Julian slowly walked over to is .

His gaze locked on her , his emotions untraible .

Isis met his eyes without hesitation .

She had nothing to hide , so there was no reason to look away .

But Julians stare was intense , almost unnerving He studied her for a long moment before speaking , his voice as cold as ever .

Despite he softening it slightly , his words still carried a chilling edge that made everyone in the room uneas .

Did you stop them from treating the patient ? Laylas eyes lit up with excitement .

She thought .

Youve angered Mr.

Carter now , Isis .

Its over for you .

Isis faced him without flinching , her voice steady .

Yes Why? Because they wanted to inject the patient with a heart stimulant .

Once its given , theres no turning back Her response was calm and sure , but it struck Julian like a bolt of lightning , stirring something deep inside him .

Layla immediately snapped back .

Youre talking nonsense ! You dont know anything about medicine , so stop spreading hes and ruining the hospitals reputation If the patients condition gets worse , whos going to take responsibility ! She turned to Julian , trying to appeal to him .

Mr.

Carter , you have to throw her out .

Shes not even a doctor ! And now shes shamelessly claiming shell operate on Samuel like his life is some kind of joke ! Im the head of the cardiothoracic department at St.

Stephen Hospital .

Layla continued , her voice growing more forceful .

I can say with full responsibility that Samuels body isnt fa for surgery .

Isiss eyes were cold as she spoke in a quiet , certain voice .

Thats because you cant I cant Layla laughed derisively .

And you think you can ! You , a housewife who spends her days cooking and cleaning are going to perform surgery ! At the mention of housewife , Julians eyes hardened instantly His gaze cut toward Layla like a sharp blade , and for a brief moment , she froze , unnerved by the intensity of his look .

She thought , Why is Mr.

Carter glaring at me like that ? Have I said something wrong İsis , meanwhile , remained focused on the conversation .

Her voice was calm but unwavering I can Her words were simple , but the certainty in her tone was undeniable .

Despite the softness of her voice , her cool , composed demeanor made it hard for anyone to dismiss her .

Layla scoffed , clearly unimpressed .

You You think just because you say you can , that means anything ? Who would believe you ? Her words seemed to snap everyone back to reality , and even Adrian , who had been quietly observing , couldnt help but shake his head .

Hed almost been fooled for a moment , almost believing that Isis really could do it.

But he thought , How can she ? No one knew better than he did that she had no medical training .

It is impossible .

But just as the room fell silent , a low , powerful voice suddenly broke through .

I believe her .
