“Not good,” Abigail replied.
“What?” everyone exclaimed at once.
Abigail stayed silent, but Ray explained, “If you’re his family too, I’ll make it clear—you need to prepare yourself.”
“What?!”
“Was it really that serious?!”
Finn realized right then that was why Abigail had him get the artificial heart—she knew about Dennis’s condition already.
“Our doctors are saving him right now. Just be ready,” Ray said.
However, Abigail stopped him again when he started toward the operating room again. “The artificial heart is here, doctor. I’ll do it if you don’t dare to do it.”
Ray looked Abigail in the eye. “I’ve made it very clear…”
“The rules are inflexible, but people aren’t.”
“I won’t let you perform the surgery no matter what you say.” Ray was clear, because he would never be able to assume the responsibility if anything were to happen.
“Dr. Hall? Dr. Clegg is calling. The patient is going into shock.”
Ray turned to leave right then—he did not have the time to waste his breath with Abigail.
“Shock?” Finn could not help turning toward Abigail. “The director…”
Abigail actually was not confident if she had to perform the surgery either, and she would have to assume responsibility if anything were to happen!
Even so, she did not hesitate.
Taking the artificial heart from Finn, she followed Ray, who shot her a solemn glare, into the operating room. “You can’t just barge in here!”
“The patient matters more right now,” Abigail calmly replied.
Ray sighed. “Fine. I’ll make an exception, but you’re only allowed to look. Do not interfere—nurse? Help her scrub up.”
“Thank you,” Abigail said gratefully. She then followed the nurse to get changed.
When she returned to the operating room and the doors opened, she heard Mark Clegg say, “No, it’s not working…”
Abigail ignored all else as she rushed to the table, scanning every vital reading right then and deciding that Dennis could still be saved.
Taking the defibrillator from Mark, she told a nurse to adjust the wattage. “Give me two hundred!”
“What…”
“I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens,” Abigail said as she calmly proceeded.
Ray could tell that she was certainly a doctor and a remarkable one at that.
Seeing that she was so determined, he almost felt guilty—but he still retained his rationality as a doctor and told a nurse to record a video.
That would serve as evidence. If Dennis died on the table, the other doctors and the hospital would assume no responsibility.
The nurse whipped out her phone and aimed it at Abigail. “Please repeat what you just said.”
Abigail continued to work while stating solemnly, “I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens! The doctors here have no responsibility for any mishaps!”
She certainly was putting everything on the line to save Dennis.
Once the nurse saved the video, Ray directed everyone to work with Abigail.
They managed to revive Dennis’s heart thanks to Abigail’s perseverance, but they were not out of the woods yet.
He would fall into another shock without surgery, and a second shock would make it further difficult to save him.
Abigail had no time to think now. “Prep him for surgery!”
Ray had the nurse prepare the surgical equipment and assist Abigail with everything she needed.
“Since you’re a member of the patient’s family, sign the surgery consent form. This is an essential procedure in any hospital, and we wouldn’t be able to take the responsibility if anything happens. So…”
Abigail understood—every doctor feared reprisals.
If Dennis died, his family would press the issue on this hospital.
But she wanted to perform the surgery, so she must therefore assume that responsibility.
“Give it to me,” Abigail said.
The nurse did so, and Abigail quickly signed it before turning to Ray. “I will need your assistant.”
Ray nodded. “Of course.”
“You know the people here, Dr. Hall. I’ll be counting on you now.”
“Just leave it to me.”
Having taken the Hippocratic Oath, Ray did his best to assist Abigail.
She opened the box and took out the artificial heart that Finn brought, then took a deep breath.
“Are you sure about this?” Ray asked.
“No,” Abigail replied.
“…Then why are you doing it?”
“Is there any other choice?” Abigail asked calmly in return.
That left Ray stumped.
There certainly was no choice, it was either surgery, which would give the patient a hanging thread’s chance at staying alive, or no surgery, and his death assured.
“Just do what you have to. You can count on me for the rest,” Ray told her.
Abigail nodded, just as Dennis was prepped for surgery.
Abigail picked up the scalpel and made an incision through his chest.
She had done it many times, but this was the first time she felt this way.
It was not as if she was afraid of taking responsibility—she was just worried that Dennis’s lifelong research failed to save himself.
And that would be tragic!
It was Abigail’s first time transplanting an artificial heart, and she would be lying if she said that she was not nervous.
Still, the training she had, as well as the prudence and composure she honed from being a doctor, kept her ice cold.
Telling herself to keep it together, she then said, “CPB.”
Everyone worked in perfect tandem with Ray’s assistance.
Beep, beep…
One could almost hear the scalpel slicing through tissue.
But while the average person would feel the creeps form that sound, everyone in the operating room was used to it—some would even hear it every day.
For Abigail’s part, the research on the artificial heart had been simulated many times, and they had experimented on donated cadavers as well.
The test on the goat was the only living test subject they had.
Still, she was slowly getting into it.
Soon, there was blood build up in the chest and she could not see the veins.
“Suction.”
After that, she looked up, checking and ensuring the blood pressure reading was normal before continuing the surgery.
…
The surgery lasted over four hours, and it counts as a success—the artificial heart’s transplant was a success, and Dennis’s vitals were improving.
The next 48 hours would determine his survival, depending on whether he woke up.
“Take him to the ICU,” Ray said after the surgery.
Abigail quietly watched as Dennis was wheeled out, her thoughts inscrutable.
“Good work,” Ray told her.
“Everyone helped.” Abigail pursed her lips—the surgery would not have gone that well if not for Ray. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
But even as Abigail stepped out of the operating room, she still did not feel relief.
She changed out of her scrubs and watched her hands at the disinfection zone.
She left the operating room without work.
“Director.” Finn quickly approached her anxiously. “Is the surgery finished?”
“Yeah.” Abigail nodded.
“And you did it?” a cold voice demanded behind Finn right then!
Abigail turned toward it to find an unfamiliar face.
Who was he?!

I pray the surgery was success, Abigail is trying and she is good Doctor and the best friend any one could ask for.
Please upload more chapters!! It is getting very interesting.
What the hell 😡 why does Abegeil create more and huge problems for Diarmuid. 😡😡What’s her problem…
Dennis definitely will be targeted and someone will kill him in ICU and put blame on Abegeil because she already digged her own grave by taking all responsibilities of Dennis surgery.
Oh! dam you Abegeil .
I wish she will get pregnant soon but this time please don’t play hide and seek from your husband. He should be the one who take care of her, during her whole pregnancy period this time. He must know this news first please Author.
And please save Abegeil from trouble. Sometime she act so so stupidly.
It’s seems that Dennis would be kill by Diarmuid Abegeil enemy and Sun Pharma people and then blame would be on Abegeil shoulders because she has nonsense mentality, always find grave troubles and make Diarmuid suffered because of her stupidity. Sooner or later Dennis will die why did she do all these stupidity .
Please we want Diarmuid Abegeil’s Daughters and please Diarmuid must know about it from start. And take care of Abegeil whole this time.
It’s seem like Dennis death sentence Abegeil in jail and Create huge mess to Diarmuid again. What if she would pregnant and again she was in jail and again away from Diarmuid as usual.
Abegeil…….oh! ……..Abegeil …..you will never learn ….won’t you?
Happy for James and Erin ♥️
Happy for Diarmuid and Abegeil moments and Diarmuid and Tommy cute fight over Abegeil ☺️
I wish Abegeil will get pregnant again with twins or triplets babies. Diarmuid will be very happy and please no more hiding this time .I really want to see how much and the way in which Diarmuid take care of her with love care and affection.😘🥰😍
Abegeil always create mess and that was always so huge. She never care about her family and even Diarmuid and her children either. Dennis eventually will die and now will take all blames and even this thing is so big now whole media will cover and she will be in prison and again all these things make Diarmuid mad. He will run here or there to save her with all his worth and suffer as he always did. Waste his money and destroyed his precious project to save her and bail her out. It’s so much now, everytime Abegeil did the mess and Diarmuid suffer.
I want peace for Diarmuid love life and I want his children more and more with Abegeil.
Abegeil always give me headache🥴🥴🥴
Happy for James and Erin, want their huge wedding too.
Don’t like Zachery and lulu story and don’t want to read them either .

I want Diarmuid Abegeil’s twins or triplets daughters and more son and more children. Please Author
Something bad going to happen .Abegeil oh my if Dennis will die or someone kill him and you will be the only one to blame.why did you do that , not think one for Diarmuid sake. What will he do now to save you?
Eventually Dennis will die but our angel Abegeil always ready to create mess for his husband and then all blame put on him and she will say “it’s all your faults”
Another problem for Abegeil and Diarmuid as usual . Abegeil acted carelessly. I am afraid, things will turn horrible if Dennis would kill by enemy. After Erin incident, Abegeil should not act carelessly. It’s all rises more and more problems for Diarmuid. What if Abegeil will put behind the bar.
Please Author, Abegeil pregnancy wanted now and Diarmuid’s daughters this time and also more children latter.
Thanks for fast update 🙏 I hope next updates would be faster too.
I am disappointed that Diarmuid did not kill Harvey Gooding bastard. Even didn’t hurt and harm him badly. He is still in Franconia free and recovering peacefully. I am not satisfy by Author favour to save Harvey from Diarmuid wrath.
James took Erin revenge and it’s satisfactory but what about Diarmuid ? Even didn’t take bastard Harvey manhood 😕😖
True, how could he forgive Harvey easily. Diarmuid must or should kill this bastard. At least make him useless by taking his manhood.
100% Agreed
Exactly ! Diarmuid should punish Harvey or kill him badly.
Me too, disappointed as he could not kill or harm Harvey and just leave him to rest peacefully and recover easily. It so annoying and out of course.
Author love Harvey Gooding a lot. Do you know? He is author’s favourite that’s why author save him to torment us more.
Not just disappointed but highly disappointed. He deserve worst death and even torture regularly by physically and mentally by Diarmuid. And please take his manhood too.
True
I am also disappointed.
Love every moment Diarmuid and Abegeil shared 😍🥰😍🥰 they are Love 💕
Diarmuid’s daughters please. Abegeil pregnancy please
Author it’s a request .
No separation, no run away, no hide from Diarmuid, no misunderstanding this time .please Author please.
And this is how Abegeil “payback” Diarmuid by creating huge mess for him. So he will be doom again to save her from all these legal inquires and police arrest, possibly in prison for many years. It’s horrible , so much horrible to imagine future events now.
And as usual Diarmuid suffered a lot🥺 because of her misdeeds and careless moves.
I still remember that how much had Diarmuid suffered during her arrest in Minerva for stealing research data. Diarmuid almost burst in tears at that time, destroyed his wealth and projects , bent himself Infront of other people so they could help him to save Abegeil and even almost lost his child. And now Abegeil again did the almost same thing, she knew that someone was trying to hurt them, still she gave them a chance after digging her own grave. That’s nonsense. She is arrogant and self-center. She never care for Diarmuid and don’t show any concern for him. As I see according to her act of stupidity and senseless decision.
Sorry Author I am dejected. I have foreboding sensation.
Agreed🥺
I wish her a happy, save, and healthy pregnancy soon. Diarmuid must involved this time in whole pregnancy period and take great care for Abegeil during that time. Must know that he is going to be a father again and hope for twins and triplets with both girls and boys. Oh this feeling make me so happy.
I agreed that Harvey Gooding must be dead or torment by Diarmuid’s hands. How could Diarmuid spare his life so easily?
I have feeling that something bad even worst will happen and Diarmuid and Abegeil again separated from each other. Another run away plan by Abegeil or another separation and misunderstanding 🥺🥺
I love Diarmuid a lot ♥️♥️♥️
How old is Tommy ? I am confused his thinking and doing is like a adult kid not baby like 2-3year old.
Tommy baby brother name?? They always call him baby brother?
I am also confused and really want to know ? His act is not support by his age clearly.
So happy for James and Erin. Now Abigail you simply the best. Pretty please more chapters. Thank you
