51 The Mysterious Patien (2/2)

The bodyguards looked at the newcomer man waiting for his command. The man, however, was still unconvinced.

”Sorry, miss, but could you please prove your identity.”

”Sure,” she said and took out her identity card from her purse.

The man took it and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

”You are only 22?”

Sia chuckled at his questioned and simply said,

”Sir, you know that it's impolite to ask a woman of her age?”

The man's ever stoic face had a momentary crack on it but he quickly restored his expression.He returned her ID with a slight arc on his lips,

”Sorry, it was just unexpected that the Dr. Illes, Dr. Brown and the CEO have been praising since we came here, was so young.”

He nodded at the bodyguards and gestured for Siana to come in.

”No problem at all. I get suspected of my identity quite often.”

She smiled at him. Her tensed shoulders relaxed a lot: looked like the patient was not in a critical condition or else they wouldn't be so relaxed. Seemed like there was no need for her to rush them or to run around.

As the doors to the neurosurgery department opened, the neurosurgery staff members inside loudly let out the breath they were holding. The tension from before was gone and now was replaced with sincere smiles at the sight of the 'angel' of their department. Sia couldn't help but smile back at them bemusedly. This patient, whoever he was, surely had put everyone on a tight spot.

The man on her side was observing her since he met her. It was about five minutes walk from the entrance to the room so he had time to evaluate her more carefully. When the doctors were talking about her, everyone had a look of admiration and appreciation for her. They wouldn't stop describing how talented she was and how much she could change the course of the surgery for his dad. He would have never expected that that revered doctor was but a girl who was much younger than him. There was only one thing that could explain the situation: she had to be a genius. Remembering all the praises and seeing the relieved and happy looks of the staff members, his opinion of Siana became even better. Being a genius was one thing, but being respected and liked by others was a completely different matter. Seemed like it was a right choice to wait for the girl.

The bodyguards at the room opened the doors for them. When they entered, Sia noticed that not only was Dr. Brown present, but also some of the attending neurosurgeons and the CEO himself. She shifted her gaze to look at the man leaning on the black leather chair that was originally supposed to be the doctor's seat. He was a man of about 50 years old, with a strong intimidating presence that could not be ignored. There was a scar on his left cheek which combined with his thick brows and sharp eyes gave him a fierce look. His eyes were deep and filled with years of experience. No wonder everyone was so flustered: the sight of the man was enough to realise that he was no simple man at all.

While she was assessing the mysterious patient, the man was similarly examining her with an apparent interest in his eyes. There was even a slight glint that passed through his eyes when he saw her composed and unperturbed look. It had to be known that not anyone could remain so calm at his presence. Moreover, being able to become a neurosurgeon at such a young age, no wonder those old men were so proud of her and wouldn't stop boasting.

”Hello,” she greeted the people present in the room. They greeted her back but did not say anything else. There was an awkward silence in the room.

Seeing that her colleagues were reluctant to speak up and wouldn't explain what was going on, she shifted her gaze at the patient and smiled,
