Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 328:

After the successful operation, Terrell wanted to report to the President and propose to commute Khloe’s sentence so she could be released from prison. But to his surprise, Khloe refused. She looked at him coldly and made an unexpected request.

“No one should know that I was the one who performed the surgery. Don’t reveal it to anyone.”

Terrell found it strange. But when he met her eyes and considered her immense talent despite being in prison, he realized there must be a hidden story behind it. Terrell didn’t want to make things difficult for Khloe, so he could only claim the credit for saving the President.

His association with the President’s miraculous recovery turned him into a national hero overnight. He became a doctor revered by everyone. But deep in his heart, he always held a deep respect and gratitude for Khloe.

Terrell once tried to visit Khloe in prison and brought her some things. However, he was turned away. Obviously, the prison staff were deliberately making things difficult for her.

Everyone in the prison remained oblivious to Khloe’s abilities. They only saw Terrell’s success, totally unaware that the true hero was Khloe, the disgraced heiress they despised.

As he recalled the past, Terrell straightened up and looked at Khloe with eyes full of reverence, about to ask why she hadn’t sought his help after she was released from prison.

But before he could say anything, Khloe interrupted him. “You came just in time. Help me treat the patient. You can be my assistant.”

Terrell hesitated for a brief moment before nodding. “Understood, Miss Evans.”

Though curiosity burned within him, he recognized that Khloe had no intention of discussing the past. Respecting her boundaries, he chose not to press the matter.

What surprised everyone even more was Khloe’s unexpectedly casual tone when addressing Terrell, paired with his unhesitating obedience to her every command. How could someone of such modest origins pinpoint Izabella’s organ failure and command the unwavering respect of a prestigious doctor like Terrell? Just who was she?

Sheri’s complexion paled, and her earlier confidence was now completely gone. Despite her unease, she mustered the courage to step forward and speak. “Mr. Ortiz, this surgery cannot happen. Khloe Evans plans to transfuse Baylee’s blood to her mother. It’s completely forbidden.”noveldrama

Terrell cast a brief, dismissive glance in her direction, his demeanor starkly different from the respect he reserved for Khloe. With an impatient wave of his hand, he retorted, “Do you know, with your limited understanding? If Miss Evans suggested this treatment, she has her reasons. Stick to what you know as a PhD and stay out of this.”

Sheri froze, utterly shocked at the sharpness of his words. Was he really dismissing her so entirely? He outright implied her expertise paled in comparison to Khloe’s. The audacity was beyond belief.

After all, she was celebrated as Ouiswell University’s youngest prodigy.

But Sheri was no fool. Observing how Terrell deferred to Khloe, she quickly realized that stirring up more conflict would only backfire.

She decided to let them go ahead. When Izabella’s death became inevitable under Khloe’s care, she’d be there to watch Khloe take the fall.

Sheri’s mind was already crafting her next move. Forcing a polite smile, she retreated and said, “Then I’ll step aside. Best wishes for a successful surgery and the patient’s recovery.”

Despite her outward composure, Sheri quietly reached out to her informant in the Douglas family the moment Terrell and Khloe stepped into the operating room.

She ordered her confidant to intervene and guarantee Izabella wouldn’t survive the procedure.

Backed by Terrell’s approval, Ashton finally gave the order for the servants to extract Baylee’s blood. Baylee, unafraid of risking her life, had a deep love for her mother. Convinced by Khloe’s sincerity, she stopped fighting and braved the painful process.
