The Runaway Groom Chapter 813

Ray had the nurse prepare the surgical equipment and assist Irene 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…”

Irene 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.

The nurse did so, and Irene 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.”
