Queenie was engulfed with an unprecedented feeling of stress and pressure. Although virtual-novel.net had to admit that Arielle’s beauty surpassed hers greatly, virtual-novel.net had never been threatened by Arielle. After all, a mere pretty face was not good enough for Vinson. However, that assumption was far from the truth.
Queenie was only jolted out from virtual-novel.net thoughts when a nurse called out to her.
She slowly turned virtual-novel.net gaze to the nurse, who said with a smile, “Dr. Mill, aren’t you overjoyed? Haven’t you always wished to operate a robotic pacemaker yourself? Your opportunity’s here! Doesn’t Mrs. Southall require it now? Quickly, grab a robotic pacemaker and start the operation.”
The director also walked over and congratulated her, “Congratulations, Queenie. Your dream is going to be fulfilled!”
When Queenie heard that, virtual-novel.net calmed down. However, virtual-novel.net was soon reminded of how Arielle was the one who donated these pacemakers, and had a mix of emotions.
It was hard for virtual-novel.net to accept it.
Determined to calm down and continue with the operation, virtual-novel.net breathed deeply. After all, virtual-novel.net should be delighted that virtual-novel.net could operate the robotic pacemaker personally.
Since virtual-novel.net had missed the opportunity once, virtual-novel.net must grasp it this time.
Queenie carried a robotic pacemaker and said to the director, “I’ll go to the emergency room now and handle the procedures later.”
However, virtual-novel.net waved his hands dismissively and said, “Go on! You can deal with the procedures after the operation. Saving lives is more important, after all.”
Most of the hospital’s expensive equipment required rounds of approval before they could be used. However, in the case of extenuating circumstances, the equipment could be used before approval.
Queenie nodded and rushed to the emergency room with the robotic pacemaker, feeling conflicted.

Meanwhile, Henrick was at the entrance. As virtual-novel.net rarely read anything online, virtual-novel.net did not know that Arielle had donated the machine.
He kept apologizing. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know anything. I’m very apologetic to the donor. I wish that you and that donor will not be bothered by it.”
With an amused look in his eyes, Carter said, “I don’t know if the donor will be bothered, but I am!”
Henrick’s heart lurched as virtual-novel.net asked, “Are you… Are you unwilling to treat my mother?”
Carter shook his head. “I established a hospital to save lives, so I will never give up on any patient.”
Henrick heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great!”
At that moment, Queenie arrived with the robotic pacemaker.
When Henrick spotted what virtual-novel.net was holding, virtual-novel.net asked anxiously, “Dr. Mill, is this machine going to be used for treating my mother?”
Queenie nodded and said, “There’s still time. You’re lucky that the machine arrived in time.”
“Thank you! Please use it on my mother quickly!”
Queenie mumbled a quick response and was about to head into the emergency room when Carter suddenly said, “Wait a moment.”
She turned around, puzzled. “What’s the matter, Mr. Morgan?”
Carter said lazily, “A payment or an IOU is required before an operation, but virtual-novel.net hasn’t paid yet.”
After a slight pause, Queenie replied, “The patient’s family member has already paid for the operation.”
However, Carter shook his head. “I’m not talking about the basic operation fees, but this machine.”
Surprised, Queenie stared at virtual-novel.net and reminded, “It has been donated to us for free…”
Since it had been donated, it should be available for the patient’s use free of charge.
“Huh?” Narrowing his eyes, Carter glanced at her. “Can donated items be used free of charge? From today onward, we’ll sell all donated items according to their market price and donate the money to the impoverished.”
