Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 116 Another Identity

Jonathan brought Annalise and a few other surgical assistants into the operating theater.

Both the Parks family and Cassandra’s family stood guard at the entrance of the operating theater.

About half an hour later, Albert and Christopher arrived, along with a few younger members of the family. Not long

after, Tony and Alexander rushed over with their wives, too.

The hallway was filled with people.

Tony complained, “Dad, why didn’t you inform me that Aunt fell sick?”

Samuel retorted, “What’s the use of informing you? Are you a doctor? Can you treat her?”

Tony said, “Although I’m not a doctor, Abigail is. She knows a lot of things…”

Samuel retorted again, “Does she know more than Professor Woods?”

Tony was speechless.

Alexander could not help but frown. He felt even more certain that Abigail was useless.

Back at Horington, he had decided to marry Abigail so that she could put Annalise in her place.

He felt that in terms of capabilities, he was not inferior to Julian. It was just that his background was unfortunate.

If Julian married a woman from a small town, he would also marry one. As long as his wife was slightly better than

Julian’s, it would be enough.

That way, both Julian and Julian’s wife would bring embarrassment to the family.

And because Alexander had married Annalise’s cousin, every time they outsmarted Annalise, others would say,

“Look, Abigail and Annalise are cousins. How could they be so different?”

In his opinion, that would feel much better than marrying a wealthy socialite.

Before he decided to marry Abigail, he had investigated many things. Generally speaking, Abigail was indeed much

better than Annalise

But in the end, not only did Abigail not manage to humiliate Annalise, but Annalise also crushed her again and

again.

At first, they had thought that when Jonathan returned, Abigail could ask Jonathan to be her mentor. But even after

spending a few hundred thousand dollars to earn the right to observe him, Annalise had chased them out of the

operating theater.

After observing the surroundings, Alexander realized that Julian was there, but Annalise was not. Did she enter the

operating theater to be Jonathan’s assistant again?

As he thought about it, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Was his investigation not comprehensive enough? Or had something gone wrong?

Wasn’t Annalise an incompetent person who lived in the countryside? How could she have learned medicine?

Jonathan and Annalise had addressed each other as siblings. Once upon a time, they had even caught fish in the

village and made pickled vegetables together. Could he have taught Annalise some medical skills?

He suddenly thought of a possibility. He could not help but be shocked.

Was it possible that Annalise knew Joseph? Did Joseph live in seclusion in the village where Annalise lived? Could it

be that Joseph took pity on Annalise and taught her some medical skills before asking Jonathan to take good care of

her?

After the showcase ended, he had to find an opportunity to visit that village again.

In the operating theater.

Jonathan looked at the patient’s medical report again and informed Annalise of the indicators.

Annalise took Cassandra’s pulse while listening to John interpret the data in the report.

“Surgery first, then acupuncture.” Jonathan and Annalise said almost at the same time.

Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

They said in unison, “Let’s do it, then.”

This tacit understanding between the two stunned Jonathan’s surgical assistants.

Three of these surgical assistants had also participated in the surgery Jonathan performed on Madam Blake. At that

time, they were still curious about Annalise and Jonathan’s relationship.

Now, they felt that these two must be exceptionally close. They must have often performed surgeries together.

Otherwise, they would not have such amazing chemistry.

They felt even more respect for Annalise.

“Anesthesiologist,” said Jonathan.

The anesthesiologist immediately took action.

Jonathan then instructed his assistant to help with the craniotomy.

After the craniotomy, Jonathan and Annalise performed a blood draining procedure.

The assistants saw that Annalise’s movements were skilled and fast. Her technique was the same as Jonathan’s

All of them felt extremely envious.

Annalise looked to be less than twenty years old. She must be a student, but she had already mastered such a

skilled technique. She looked like she had performed countless surgeries in her lifetime.

They did not know that during the years when Annalise was overseas, she would sometimes perform three

surgeries a day and rely only on glucose to keep going. Not only had she performed hundreds of procedures. but

she had also experienced thousands of them.

John was so harsh toward her, using her like a robot. Once, when she had just finished performing a surgery and

rested for less than five minutes, he had immediately scheduled another surgery for her.

In his words, talent was useless in actual combat.

Real warriors were forged from life-or-death battles.

If some warriors who had only ever trained with their masters were thrown into the real world, they might not even

have the chance to draw their swords before they were defeated.

Why did doctors in good hospitals grow faster?

Besides the rich theoretical knowledge they had learned in school, it was also important that they consult more

patients in a good hospital. After all, in a good hospital, doctors would be busier, and they would get to treat more

conditions.

Chief surgeons were fully occupied every day. After performing more surgeries, they would naturally become more

skilled.

In the words of obstetricians, performing a C-section was as simple as cutting a watermelon.

During those few years, Annalise had often performed long and difficult surgeries. Her legs had become thicker

from standing, and she almost had varicose veins.

However, when John did not schedule any surgeries for her to perform, he treated her really well. He would

personally cook her delicious food, chat with her like a friend, and tell her about their mentors’ dreams.

At their age, their mentors’ greatest dream was for their disciples to surpass them.

John had sighed and said that none of them could surpass their mentors in terms of medical skills. Only Annalise

could. This was because she was talented, and they had provided her with all kinds of opportunities. In addition, she

was still young.

With so many opportunities around, how could she possibly afford to slack off?

When she was overseas, John was the chief surgeon, and she was his assistant.

Later, when she obtained her qualification certificate and was licensed to practice medicine, John asked her to

become the chief surgeon.

After three years, she had grown from a surgical assistant to a world-renowned neurosurgeon, Joy.

Then, she quietly disappeared.

Her name was still well-known internationally, especially in Western countries.

After returning to the country, she quietly returned to the village. In the words of her mentor, because she had

gone overseas to study, the day she finished her studies was also the day she was meant to return to her country.

Medicine and patients knew no borders. But the people and their lifestyle habits differ across countries.

This time, John had returned to the country to officially take over their mentors’ legacy.

His goal was to become a new legendary expert in the medical field

More than an hour later, the surgery was over. Jonathan handed the suturing over to his surgical assistant.

After the surgical assistant finished suturing, he asked Jonathan, “Professor, can we transfer the patient to the ward

now?”

“There’s something else. Jonathan glanced at his assistants and said, “Take a good look at the next procedure and

learn diligently. You will surely benefit from it.”
