Chapter 305
Melanie rushed to the hospital. Dr. Wells and the other doctors of the same department were also waiting for her there.
“Here you are. It’s about your grandfather’s surgery. We want to ask you a few things,” said Dr. Wells.
Melanie noticed Dr. Wells‘ serious expression. Even after preparing herself, she could not help worrying. She looked thoughtfully at Dr. Wells and said, “Please don’t hesitate to say whatever you want.”
“Well… the hospital has a research study plan, and the patient we had arranged before can no longer participate. After the authorities read through the documents, they think your grandfather’s illness is suitable for the study.
“I was thinking of asking your permission.”
Melanie’s forehead creased. “What kind of research study plan is it?“.
“We have to record the surgery process of the patient for study purposes.”
Dr. Wells explained further, “Of course, we’ll only record the surgical site and will never expose the patient’s face or private parts. However, we still need the consent of the patient and his family members.”
Every doctor in the room looked at Melanie, waiting for her answer.
She noticed the point of the conversation. “Does this mean my grandfather can undergo the surgery?”
Dr. Wells nodded slightly before saying, “This depends on whether you and the patient agree to this condition.”
After all, many patients and their family members were uncomfortable at the idea of the surgery being recorded and would reject the offer.
The patient the hospital had negotiated with also suddenly rejected because of this reason.
Surprise flashed across Melanie’s face, yet she quickly suppressed the surging joy. “Can I ask the surgeon what we need to cooperate with during the surgery?”
“The surgeon is Dr. Hel. He came to Jepton because of the research study and doesn’t require the patient to cooperate in anything else. Everything is done according to the normal surgical process. The only difference is that we’ll be recording the surgery process.”
Melanie headed straight to the restroom after leaving the office.
She still could not believe her ears. Howard rejected her even after she looked for him many times, yet he was willing to carry out the surgery now.
Moreover, the surgical process would be recorded, and the surgeon would be careful
throughout the surgery.
That meant the success percentage of the surgery would increase.
The water flowed out from the tap. Suddenly, Melanie’s hands froze as she was washing them.

Meanwhile, Simon was at Butterfly Club.
In his arms was a young model. He walked casually from the dance floor to the seat.
Looking at the people playing a game of poker, he asked impatiently, “Have you called Eugene? Why isn’t he here yet?”
Someone tried to brush Simon off. “He might be stuck in traffic.”
Simon lifted his eyebrow. The person behind him asked, “Eugene might be busy lately. My dad told me Melanie resigned. LeapCo has lost an important employee. It must be a difficult time for LeapCo.”
Disdainfully, Simon retorted, “Would LeapCo be doomed without her?”
“We can’t be sure, but Eugene’s mood might be bad these few days.”
Simon ignored him and kissed the model’s cheek. Just as he was about to call Eugene outside, he saw the man walking in.
Eugene’s expression was cold, and he looked like he did not belong in this chaotic environment.
Before Eugene approached them, Simon could see he was in a bad mood.
He let go of the woman in his arms and whistled. “Who annoyed you?”
Eugene glanced at him indifferently. “I was dealing with something.”
“Was it about work?”
Eugene did not answer, and Simon clicked his tongue. “What were you dealing with, then?”
