Chapter 636: Chapter 636

Upon hearing that Darren had passed the critical stage, Bard was finally reassured.

"I’ll call your parents to give them the good news. It’ll surely cheer them up."

"Sure." Rosemary removed her sterile gown and had just stepped out when she was stopped by several doctors.

"We’re sorry for our ignorance and any offense we may have caused. Please accept our apologies."

The doctors all bowed their heads in sincere apology.

The leading lady doctor said, "My name is Adeline. I’m sorry for my previous rash remarks. They were uncalled for."

"I owe you an apology for my arrogance and ignorance," Lisa joined in, her tone deeply remorseful.

"I overlooked a tiny spot on the ultrasound scan, unaware that it could potentially be a blood clot, and I kept administering medication for breathing difficulty and accelerated heart rate, nearly missing the patient’s optimal treatment time."

Another male doctor, Colvin, also felt outmatched. If he hadn’t seen Rosemary perform the surgery with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that a young girl in her teens could be so proficient and adept at her craft.

Only Beatrice was secretly thrilled in her heart, thinking that she had the chance to assist Dr. Bell. She could flaunt this experience and countless renowned hospitals would vie for her.

"It’s okay. It’s all in the past now."

Rosemary didn’t hold a grudge against them and instead passed by them, planning to visit her grandfather in the ward.

"Dr. Bell."

Just as male doctor Brade caught up with her, he was met with a warning glare from Rosemary. His mind went blank from the fright and it took him a while to recover.

"Oh, Dr. Rose."

She probably didn’t want people to know she’s "Dr. Bell", preferring to keep her identity a secret. True enough, when he addressed her as Dr. Rose, she withdrew her stare, her reaction not as intense as before.

Brade heaved a sigh of relief.

"I was wondering if you could stay for a few more days, so that we could learn from you."

"Yes, if we could learn even a trick or two from you, it could save more patients," Adeline followed suit.

"Your suturing technique is simply incredible, unmatched by anyone," Lisa expressed her admiration sincerely.

"Dr. Rose, I want to learn from you as well," Beatrice put forth her request, looking at Rosemary expectantly.

"I don’t take apprentices," Rosemary responded indifferently. "I don’t share my skills."

"We understand that we’re not qualified to be your apprentices, and we know you won’t easily share your skills.

We just need some verbal guidance."

"Just a few questions to ask."

"Oh, Dr. Rose, there’s a tricky case that we could use your help with."

"I also have a patient."

Rosemary, hearing their mounting requests, simply pushed open the door to her grandfather’s ward, stepping in.

"I’m quite occupied, sorry."

Everyone watched as the hospital room door closed, leaving them with their mouths half-open, sighing in disbelief.

If only they had known earlier that she was Dr. Bell, they would have been more courteous.

Now, she didn’t want to waste her time with them.

Meanwhile

Serena had prepared a fruit salad by herself, ready to serve it to her parents, when she heard Louisa’s excited voice.

"You’re kidding? The surgery was successful? Bell was the lead surgeon? That’s fantastic!"

Louisa was so overjoyed that tears streamed down her face.

"I knew it, Rose is the best. How’s Dad doing now? Really? Rose said so herself? He’ll be awake in a day or two?"

Serena was so frustrated that the salad plate was shaking in her hands.

Damn it, that woman had stolen the limelight again.

"If it weren’t for the Temple family crisis, I’d really like to go and see." Louisa was weighing up her options, torn.

"In a few days, Kenneth and I will make a trip. It’s been a long time since we last saw Dad. He would be so happy to know how talented his granddaughter is. Let Rose stay in Dawnstar for a few more days. Good, good, let her have lunch and take a nap first. We’ve already had our dinner here."

Solterra was six hours ahead of Dawnstar. It was seven o’clock in the evening here, but only one o’clock in the afternoon there.

After his wife hung up the phone, Kenneth asked with delight, "So, Dad’s okay now?"

"Rose examined him, found a small hole in his heart that was leaking blood, which formed a clot and plugged the hole.

The others couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Dad, but Rose insisted on doing an ultrasound, found the problem, and performed the surgery in time."

"Thank God for Rose." Kenneth sighed with gratitude.

"She’s so capable, all thanks to those old men. During the years when we hadn’t found our daughter, they treated Rose as their own granddaughter, passing on all their skills to her. As soon as we’re free, we should visit them one by one."

"Dad, Mum, who are we visiting?" Serena asked sweetly as she brought in the dessert fruits.

"Serena’s here?" Kenneth grinned.

"These fruits look different from usual. Did you make them yourself?"

"Can you tell they’re ugly just because I made them?"

Serena carved the flesh of the cantaloupe into a bouquet pattern, topped it with mangoes shaped like roses, and added grapes and watermelon balls.

"Very creative. I’ll try one." Kenneth said, but the fruit he picked up was first fed to his wife. He then tasted a peeled grape.

"Sweet, delicious."

"Dad, Mom, who were you talking about visiting just now? I’m on vacation now. I have time to go with you."

"We’re referring to the old men who taught your sister."

"Then, can I learn from them too?" Serena showed keen interest.

"If I could be half as capable as my sister, I could make you proud and help more people, so Rose wouldn’t have to work so hard alone."

Kenneth thought it was a good idea and was about to agree when Louisa interjected,

"Those old men have never taken on any disciples, only your sister. We can guess their intention. Serena, you should focus on your studies. Having Rose is enough to handle any emergencies. The more people involved, the more worries."

Indeed, those men were Rose’s "masters". Asking Serena to become their disciple would mean sharing not only Rose’s family but also her "masters".

It wasn’t that Rose was stingy and unwilling to share. The fear was that they chose their disciples based on fate, talent, and gifts — not on relationships or introductions.

Upon hearing this, Serena felt uncomfortable. Was the implication that it was enough for Rosemary to be the center of attention? That she, the adopted daughter, wasn’t needed to handle family matters?

"If you want to learn, I can hire other famous teachers for you. They don’t have to be the same as your sister," Kenneth said with a chuckle.
