Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Snatched A Place To Observe

Jonathan’s initial intention of hiding his identity was to protect Anna. He no longer needed to hide it now that Anna was protected and well taken care of.

More importantly, he was not used to using his elder brother-in-law’s identity.

Moreover, the Blake family would not have approved it if Metropolis Hospital had arranged for an unknown doctor to operate on the old matriarch.

He was Jonathan Woods, after all. If the surgery failed, no one would raise an eyebrow. The public would conclude that he had failed because the illness was uncurable. It was fate at play.

However, if lan Lawrence failed to treat the old matriarch, everyone would definitely condemn Metropolis Hospital for negligence for allowing an unknown doctor to perform critical surgery.

Public opinions were the scariest thing in the world.

“Okay, okay,” Ben was overjoyed that Jonathan Wood’s identity could be revealed at last.

Naturally, Jonathan Woods was a force to be reckoned with, a name that commanded respect in the country. Alexander and Abigail ended up staying at the Barton residence for the night. Alexander had planned to stay in Horinton for the day after lunch to try his luck in town. His executive assistant called unexpectedly to inform him that Jonathan Woods would perform an operation on the old Madam Blake tomorrow afternoon in Jadeborough.

“Jonathan Woods is back?” Alexander was shocked beyond belief.

The executive assistant replied that there was no news that Jonathan Woods had returned to the country. The latter was probably on his way.

Alexander immediately hung up and called his father. “Dad, keep an eye on Jonathan Woods on your end. Do you have any flight information on him?”

“It’s tomorrow’s flight,” Tony Parks replied.

“How could he make it to the surgery tomorrow afternoon if it’s tomorrow’s flight? Most probably he would return early. I’ll hurry back now!” Alexander ended the call and urged Abigail, “Let’s return to Jadeborough immediately.”

Abigail also caught the news that Jonathan Woods was to operate on old Madam Blake tomorrow afternoon. She was extremely excited. “He’s actually coming back early. We’ll rush back immediately.”

They chose to take the high-speed rail back to Jadeborough instead.

Abigail had been on the phone all this time through all sorts of connections trying to get a spot for herself to observe the surgery live.

Her facial expressions were dramatic while on the phone. One moment, she was happy, and the next, she was worried.

“I knew that Metropolis Hospital allows for observation in the operating room. That system has been in effect for a long time. I even managed to get a spot two years ago to observe the famous surgeon Lee Lynch perform an operation.

“That’s right. Observing on the spot is the fastest way to improve.”

“Are there only four spots this time around? Have they all been taken? Please help me secure a spot. I really need this spot.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Yes, I’ve already registered my marriage with Alexander. I am now the legitimate Mrs. Parks of the Parks family.”

“Of course, Alexander respects me and supports my pursuit in the medical field.”

“Can I pay for someone else’s spot? Please help me to persuade that someone. Price is not an issue.”

“One million dollars? Are they trying to rob me? They would not have made the same amount being doctors for their whole lives. How dare they ask for so much?”

The other party claimed that the elder Quigley’s disciple, Jonathan Woods, was performing the surgery. It was something worth dying for. No doctor in his right mind would give up his spot to observe the great Jonathan Woods performing surgery. It was priceless.

Abigail became depressed.

Her annual pocket money was only 750,000 dollars. She had already spent more than half of that on the energizing pills for Samuel Parks.

Just as she was contemplating asking her father for money, Alexander whispered beside her. “Buy it!”

Abigail immediately felt confident. She smiled and said, “All right, you’re right. For medical students, such an opportunity to observe the great is worth every penny. Give me your bank account number later. Don’t worry; I won’t leave you in a lurch. Thank you!”

Abigail hung up feeling pleased and looked at Alexander ingratiatingly.

“Your bank account!” Alexander said.

“I’ll WhatsApp you.” Abigail immediately sent her account number to him.

Within minutes, Abigail received a transfer of 1.5 million dollars.

She smiled gently at Alexander. “Thank you, hubby!”

Alexander felt disgusted and had goosebumps all over.

He said calmly, “Seize the opportunity and build a good relationship with Jonathan Woods. Try to grab every future opportunity to observe his surgeries. Become his assistant if you could.”

“I think so too. Don’t worry, I will definitely seize the opportunity.” Abigail’s eyes flashed with determination to succeed.

Tony Parks did not find out about Jonathan’s change of scheduling information after he rushed back to Jadeborough. The flight information in the system still showed that he would board the plane tomorrow. Alexander frowned and said to Abigail, “We’ll go over before one tomorrow afternoon.”

“Should be earlier than that. I’m going to observe a live operation. People will think that I’m putting on airs if I’m late,” said Abigail.

Her hypocritical look disgusted Alexander yet again.

At noon on the following day.

Alexander and Abigail had their lunch earlier than usual.

They finished eating at 11 a.m. and arrived at Metropolis Hospital before noon.

They saw Julian Parks standing tall in the corridor when they arrived.

“Hey, Julian. Why are you here?” Alexander asked, flashing his signature smile.

Then, he immediately realized and smiled meaningfully. “Does sister-in-law know that you are here to visit old Madam Blake?”

Julian replied coldly, “I’m here to keep your sister-in-law company.”

An office door swung open immediately. Annalise and Jonathan emerged in white coats and masks with medical records in hand.

Alexander was stunned. Had he been mistaken? Was this the same man that Annalise called bro at dinner at the Parks’ residence that evening?

Abigail did not pay attention to Jonathan. Instead, she focused on Annalise and gave her a once-over. “Pfft, Anna, why are you dressed like this?”

“Is there a problem with observing the surgery?” Annalise asked in amusement.

“There’s no problem, but what’s the point of watching the surgery? Haha! Anna, why are you everywhere? Don’t tell me you arranged for reporters too. Haha!” Abigail almost burst out in laughter as she spoke.

Annalise might be able to learn a few things from the older men in the village. How could she have learned medicine too? Abigail scoffed.

Suddenly she thought of something and mocked, “Anna, when you lived in the village back then, did you a few medical trick: from the village’s barefoot doctors to treat colds and flu? Haha.”

“Yes, I did Annalise replied with a straight face.

If her mentor was considered a barefoot doctor, then she had indeed learned her medical skills from a barefoot doctor.

“Pfft, hahaha…” Abigail laughed exaggeratedly when she saw Annalise’s serious expression.

On the other hand, Alexander’s focus was on Jonathan Woods. He nodded politely at the latter and asked, “Hello, we’ve met before. You’re my sister-in-law’s brother from Princeville. Your name is Lawrence. lan Lawrence.”
