Nora

Chapter 181:

Nora didn’t look at him anymore. Instead, she headed straight for the locker room.

Michael stood in front of the door, totally frozen in place.

What Miss Smith had said a moment ago? Was she saying she was Anti?

This… Surely not?

Miguel swallowed hard. The truth was that he had never imagined that Nora could be Anti. After all, it took time to train her skills in surgery, and one needed to perform many operations to cultivate a sense of things.

Most of the amazing surgeons in her sector were middle-aged. Not only could they keep up in terms of stamina, but they were also experienced. Therefore, everyone assumed that Anti had to be a middle-aged man or woman.

Nora… She was too young!

Given her age, she might not even be good enough to be Lily, Anti’s first assistant, right?

Was she… was she really Anti?

As Michael’s expression changed again and again, Nora had changed and came back out. Her hair was up, she was wearing a gown and a surgical cap.

Surgical caps were fastened very tightly to prevent the hair from being exposed. This was to prevent people from bringing germs and bacteria into the operating room. Most people looked very ugly wearing it, but when Nora’s face was fully exposed in this way, it made her look even more impressive.

She had a very cold expression on her countenance, and her eyes were downcast. The air around her was still as carefree as ever.

Previously it had given Michael a feeling of laziness and frivolity, but now it felt completely different: It was self-assurance and self-confidence!

As expected from her idol, indeed!

Michael’s eyes were sparkling. He merely watched as she approached the sink next to him. After carefully washing her hands and fingers, she looked at him again….noveldrama

Michael was so excited that he wanted to do a few laps around the hospital.

He had finally met his idol!!!!

Seeing him look at him as if he had gone crazy, Nora’s almond eyes narrowed a little as she smiled at Michael and said, “Anti is human, not a god.”

Michael, “!!!”

He suddenly thought about how he had refuted Nora and had misunderstood that she was looking down on Anti when she had said that earlier. But at the end of the day, he was just being self-indulgent!

She suddenly blushed all over her face. She swallowed saliva and said, “Ant…”.

However, before he could finish, footsteps suddenly sounded approaching them. They were most likely from the medical staff who had finished changing into surgical gowns and were about to enter.

Nora turned her head sharply and suddenly extended a finger, gesturing for him to be quiet.

Michael’s words immediately stuck in her throat.

Nora pulled out a surgical mask and quickly put it on, followed by a pair of goggles. Her movements were neither too fast nor too slow; it was as if she had timed it well. When they entered, he had already covered himself completely.

No one could see her original appearance when she was thus covered.

“Is Anti ready, Michael?”

A voice reached them before the others approached. Right after, Tina directed the medical staff to wash their hands. When they saw Anti, who had already changed, the whole group was stunned.

Someone couldn’t help but ask quietly, “Professor? Anti?”

Nora looked at them. Her gaze flicked past Tina to finally fall on Lisa, who was standing at the back of the crowd, but who was also looking at her with bright, glittering eyes like Michael.

She nodded slightly, causing the group of people to get excited.

“Anti, you are my idol!”

“Professor Anti, I’m so lucky to be able to see you perform an operation with my own eyes!”

“… Ahhh, I’m so excited!”

Nora raised her eyebrows. She smiled at the excited doctor and jokingly said, “Remember to keep your hands steady.”

The doctor immediately straightened his back and promised, “Easy, Anti! There won’t be any problems.”

In the midst of the joy and harmony, a discordant voice rang out. “Where is Nora Smith, Doctor Lange?”

Tina’s voice was neither high nor low, but still within earshot of Nora. Tina looked at Michael and said, “I saw her clearly just now – is she hiding somewhere so she can sneak into the OR?”

Michael, “…”

He wanted to say that Anti was Nora herself. But when he thought about how Anti had gestured for him to keep quiet before the others came in…. She must have been asking him to keep her identity a secret, right?

So, Michael replied, “Don’t bring that up anymore…”.

“Why not, I’m just trying to warn Anti about it, lest it suddenly appear out of nowhere during the operation.” Tina deliberately let out a sigh as she tried to give Anti a bad impression of Nora.

She feared that Anti would give Nora special treatment because of the Hunts.

It was logical for Anti to ask about what had happened after she said that, wasn’t it? This way, she could naturally say certain things after that.

But, unexpectedly, those eyes behind the glasses seemed to have only an icy coldness.

However, she must have been wrong.

After all, Anti was joking with the others and seemed quite even-tempered.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Tina continued on her own and said, “My apologies, Anti, this is an oversight on the part of the school for allowing someone in who really wanted to observe your surgery. We will definitely sue her if we catch her later! This has reached the point of gross medical malpractice.”

Nora, “?”

With what eye had Tina seen her break-in? Those who didn’t know her would have thought she must have done something really nefarious!

Her expression grew even colder.

Fearing that Anti would be angry, Michael stepped in front of Tina and said, “Okay, that’s enough. Let’s go to the operating room.”

Because of Michael, Tina nodded to everyone behind her.

They all had to go into the operating room to make preparations ahead of time and get all the instruments ready that would be used later. As Lisa walked past Nora, she greeted her cautiously, “Hello, Professor Anti.”

Nora smiled at her and said encouragingly, “I don’t have time right now, so follow Dr. Shaw and do your best to learn from him for now.”

Her voice… sounded quite familiar to Lisa.

She glanced hesitantly at Nora again; those eyes behind the glasses also looked a little familiar. In the midst of her hesitation, Tina reprimanded her. “Why are you spacing out? Hurry up and get in.”

Lisa hastily looked away. She glanced back at Nora before following the rest into the operating room.

Nora frowned.

Her cousin was a little too easy to get along with. Did she allow anyone to yell at her?

She was about to speak when Tina suddenly approached her and said, “Professor Anti, I am Tina York, a professor that the medical college has also specially invited. I have the honor of participating in the same operation as you.”

Nora stared at her.

Tina said unhurriedly, “Professor Anti, did you accept Lisa Black as your graduate student because of Nora Smith’s connections to Mr. Hunt?”

Nora, “?”

Tina continued her complaint against Nora. She said, “To be honest, Lisa’s test scores were not the best at the time. Besides, the research topic she proposed is also unpopular. By the way, she’s Nora Smith’s cousin, and she’s someone who can’t tell what’s good for her, just like Nora…”

Now, that was going too far.

He had originally intended to get rid of the woman after the operation, but she was simply too loud.

Nora suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, “I didn’t know I had become a person who doesn’t know what’s good for herself.”
