Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Heart-Stopping
Evan Reed was in the operating room; when had he ever encountered such a thing?
He saw the scissors stabbed into Leo Griffin’s arm and swallowed his cold saliva. Ivana Monroe must have gone mad to treat Dr. Griffin like this.
Even more ridiculous was Dr. Griffin. Instead of quickly running out to get help after being stabbed, he actually asked him to hold down Ivana.
Had Dr. Griffin gone mad too?
Evan could only think of these things.
Leo Griffin’s arm was bleeding, and even the slightest movement brought excruciating pain. He saw Evan standing still, as if terrified out of his wits, and roared in anger, "Didn’t you hear what I said?"
Evan was startled, stammering, "Dr. Griffin, you’re injured, don’t worry about her, saving your life is most important."
Evan reminded Leo Griffin.
Leo Griffin was nearly exasperated to the point of vomiting blood.
Shelton Hale really sent him a moron as a teammate.
Leo Griffin was in unbearable pain, his mind racing with thoughts on how to convince this nitwit Evan to help him. This coward was deathly afraid; if he said that Ivana climbed down from the operating table and posed a threat to him, Evan might run faster than a rabbit.
A flash of inspiration struck Leo Griffin.
"Do you know who arranged this surgery?"
Evan was baffled.
"Who?"
"It was President Kane, the pinnacle of Ravenswood’s pyramid. If we can’t successfully complete the task, not only will we face unemployment, but we’ll have thoroughly offended President Kane, making it impossible to survive in Ravenswood in the future."
Was it Leon Keane who arranged this?
Ivana’s mind went blank instantly; she simply couldn’t believe that Leon Keane would do such a thing.
No.
Impossible.
Leon would absolutely never do that; if he wanted to harm her, there were many ways to do it, and he wouldn’t need to sneak around in a hospital to do it.
Leo Griffin was lying.
Ivana gradually regained her composure, her beautiful face pale as she looked coldly at Leo Griffin.
Evan was extremely shocked; he believed Leo Griffin’s words.
"President Kane... why would he do this?"
"Ask him yourself when you see President Kane next time, ask why he did this."
Leo Griffin shot Evan a contemptuous look.
In his heart, he thought: I only mentioned President Kane, I didn’t say Leon Keane. Ravenswood is full of people with the surname Kane, there are dozens of famous ones too. Even if something happened, Ivana going to tell Leon would only make him more disgusted.
As long as Leon doesn’t help Ivana, he’ll be fine.
As for Evan, this honest coward, there’s no need to mention him. He wouldn’t have the guts to ask Leon directly.
How perfect is my plan?
Hiss~
Leo Griffin, caught up in his pride, moved his injured arm, causing intense pain to strike again.
Leo Griffin’s expression turned gloomy as he said, "Quickly come over and help, my surgical incision has opened up, just hold her down for me and I’ll finish the surgery quickly."
Evan obediently ran over, apologetically looking at Ivana, reaching out to hold her: "Don’t be nervous, Dr. Griffin has a high success rate in surgeries, it’s just a minor operation, could you please stay calm?"
The anesthesia in Ivana’s body hadn’t completely worn off yet. She had used all her strength earlier to grab the scissors for a desperate fight, and now she was weak all over. Her ankle was in excruciating pain, and she was bleeding profusely; she was no match for Evan, this strong man.
Ivana was very calm at this moment.
When Leo Griffin forcibly gave her an injection, she didn’t know whether it was anesthesia or poison, fearing he wanted to kill her. Now it seemed he didn’t intend to kill her.
Of course, Ivana also definitely didn’t believe Leo Griffin was kindly performing surgery for her, because Leo Griffin was lying. Leon was unaware of her ankle surgery from the beginning.
If he knew, Leon would have told her.
Leo Griffin probably didn’t know about her relationship with Leon yet?
Ivana was certain Leo Griffin might be used by someone, aiming to cripple her.
Even if Ivana told Leo Griffin now that he was being used, he probably wouldn’t believe her.
She focused her gaze on Evan.
"Can’t you see? He’s not trying to heal my foot at all but wants to cripple it. A doctor with an injured arm can’t even hold the scalpel steadily, how can he perform surgery?"
"Dr. Reed, you’re being tricked by him."
Evan froze, his eyes panicked; what Ivana said seemed somewhat reasonable. Dr. Griffin’s arm, injured with scissors, was the one holding the scalpel, so how could he concentrate on performing surgery?
"Reed, don’t trust her, we can’t defy President Kane’s orders." Leo Griffin’s face was gloomy, enduring the intense pain, picking up the scalpel, as Ivana said, the scalpel danced in his hand like a jitterbug.
Leo Griffin thought coldly, with this cut, Ivana’s foot would definitely be ruined.
Evan’s eyes were filled with indecision, not knowing whom to trust.
Seeing Evan’s expression, Ivana calmly said, "I have Leon’s number; you can call to confirm. If this wasn’t arranged by Leon, you’ll both be in trouble."
Evan looked at Ivana in surprise, "You have President Kane’s phone number?"
Ivana’s face pulled into a pale smile, "Didn’t he say Leon asked him to perform surgery on me? Then my relationship with Leon must be deep. I don’t mind telling you now; I’m Leon’s legal wife."
Leo Griffin was stunned for a moment, but quickly dismissed the doubt in his heart. Impossible, Ivana couldn’t be Leon’s legal wife; it was all just her delusion.
Ivana did this to Evan, hoping he would let her go.
She never expected Leo Griffin to believe her. Seeing Evan’s wavering eyes, she pressed further: "Don’t dare? Or are you afraid Leon won’t let the two of you go once he knows?"
"To be precise, it’s not two people, it’s one. That person is you... Dr. Reed. Because Leo Griffin has long planned a way to escape, and you’re the scapegoat."
Ivana didn’t expect she’d hit the nail on the head by accident.
Leo Griffin said coldly, "Shut up! Evan’s not a fool; he won’t just switch sides and believe you over a few words; the cost of offending President Kane is huge. Evan, believe her now and call the number she provided, but don’t regret it afterward."
"This... this..."
Evan was wavering.
Ivana’s eyes flashed with disappointment.
Leo Griffin sneered in his heart; Evan was just a cowardly idiot, and Ivana was counting on him?
Leo Griffin tightened his grip on the scalpel, aiming it at Ivana’s bleeding incision, slightly surprised at how much blood had flowed in such a short time. This woman’s blood was plentiful; even after losing so much, she had the strength to speak nonsense with Evan.
Go to hell!
The scalpel suddenly plunged down.
Bang!
The operating room door was forcefully kicked open by a powerful force.
Leo Griffin’s scalpel stabbed into the operating table.
