Chapter 169
Chapter 169:
As Hodge had pointed out, Tess struggled to accept that the person she had admired so deeply could be a woman her age. The glaring difference was too much for Tess’ pride to handle. As a proclaimed genius, the weight of that title had fed her ego, making it nearly impossible for her to admit that MO was far superior.
“You need to see this for yourself,” Brent said, placing a video in front of her.
Tess watched the tall woman in the footage performing Glenn’s surgery with flawless precision and unwavering confidence. Her skill and focus were unmatched, and she moved with absolute confidence.
So fast—unbelievably fast!
MO’s surgical procedure was truly incredible. She effortlessly tackled areas Tess had found daunting, executing each move with perfect precision.
It wasn’t just surgery; it was a brilliant performance.
In that moment, Tess felt as though a towering mountain loomed before her, leaving her feeling small and insignificant at its base.
Tess crumpled to the floor with a resounding thud, her mind swirling in confusion. “MO really did it!”
“Tess, let’s be rational,” Brent said, offering his perspective with a weary sigh. “MO is young, which only underscores her exceptional skill. Recognizing the gap in your abilities could prove very educational for you.”
Looking up, Tess offered Brent a strained smile. “Thank you, Mr. Debenham.”
Brent’s expression lightened as he sensed Tess’s acceptance. Acknowledging her potential to learn from MO could pave the way for her to become an exceptional surgeon.
“May I take a copy of the surgery video with me?” Tess asked.
“Absolutely,” Brent replied with a nod, approving her request.
Tess exited Brent’s office after securing the video, a fiery resolve burning in her eyes.

“I will not be outdone,” she whispered fiercely, clenching her jaw, fueled by renewed determination and a spark of defiance. “If you can master it, so can I. Just wait, and I’ll copy your technique.”
Meanwhile, Aiden watched the surveillance feed in his car, a video Braylen had provided. He reviewed the footage but found no trace of Janice, which made him frown in concern.
“Mr. Green, could there have been a mistake?” Braylen proposed. “Had Mrs. Green visited Auburn Hospital, it’s unlikely she’d dodge every camera. Yet, we’ve seen nothing of her in the footage.”
Aiden shut his eyes and massaged his temples, his voice tinged with strain. “But what if she did manage to evade them all?”
“Well…” Braylen hesitated, finding no argument to counter. Janice might have purposefully avoided being captured on camera if she had specific reasons to remain unseen.
Abruptly, Aiden’s eyes snapped open, his mind racing. “Was there any unusual activity at Auburn Hospital today?”
“Right,” Braylen’s eyes sparkled with intrigue. “A top-tier surgeon was here today to operate on a VIP. The details are limited; it seems they’re keeping it pretty secretive.”
A memory flickered across Aiden’s mind. He remembered Tess hastily leaving after a briefing about a notable operation. Could it be related to this?
“Dig up everything you can on this VIP.”
