Chapter 862: Chapter 862: The Old Burying the Young

"Beep——"

The elongated beep sounded particularly piercing in the quiet rescue room.

"Wha- what’s happening?! Julian! Julian! You can’t make me, an old man, see my own child’s funeral!"

Old Master Kingston stepped forward.

But just as he took a step, he felt the murderous gaze Summer Monroe directed at him.

That gaze clearly said: Dare to come closer and see what happens?

Old Master Kingston, a man of war throughout his life, was momentarily intimidated by Summer. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Master, rest assured, Summer won’t let anything happen to Julian. I vouch for her with my honor."

After handing the robotic heart to Summer, Damian Knight moved back to stand beside Old Master Kingston.

He didn’t understand medical skills, so he wouldn’t interfere with Summer, nor would he allow others to disturb him.

Old Master Kingston nodded heavily, but cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

He had two grandsons, but compared to Ronan Kingston, who studied abroad since childhood, Julian Kingston, who grew up with him in the military, was his true treasure.

If anything happened to Julian Kingston, he felt he wouldn’t hold on for much longer.

He’s committed many acts of killing on the battlefield, yet he felt powerless when it came to saving lives.

Everything... depended on that young girl.

Old Master Kingston looked over and saw Summer focused and serious, her hands constantly moving, coordinating with the surgical assistants beside her.

He had never entrusted anything serious to a young girl before, but somehow, seeing her focused expression, he suddenly had more trust in her.

Perhaps because... this girl was fiercer than him—a single look could intimidate him, so she definitely wasn’t ordinary!

...

Time ticked by, second by second.

Huge beads of sweat started forming on Summer’s forehead, and the color of her lips gradually changed from light red to white.

Suddenly, there came a "beep——", and the heart rate monitor instantly turned into a straight line.

Old Master Kingston’s eyes widened in an instant.

He didn’t understand medicine, but he knew what that line meant—

People only turn into a straight line when dead!

For a moment, Old Master Kingston stood there, dazed, his brain unable to think, turning blank.

Gone?

His eldest grandson is gone??

Claire Woodward looked at that flat line, the curve of her lips almost reached the sky.

Indeed, the surgery failed.

Excited beyond measure, Claire Woodward didn’t even glance at Julian Kingston’s "body" and directly said, "Summer! I told you the robot couldn’t replace a functioning heart, why didn’t you listen? As a doctor, how can you treat a patient’s life as child’s play? You simply aren’t qualified to be a doctor! Your conscience will punish you!"

As Claire Woodward’s voice dropped, Old Master Kingston was suddenly snapped back to reality.

As volatile as Old Master Kingston, he immediately wanted to swing his cane at Summer.

It was this young girl who killed his eldest grandson!

"I’ll make you pay with your life—"

However, just as Old Master Kingston raised his cane, a strong hand grabbed it.

"Master, Summer is under my protection. Without my permission, no one can touch her. You, included."

"You—" Old Master Kingston was almost about to jump out of his skin in rage.

At this moment, Summer’s voice suddenly rang out, "What are you doing? Didn’t the surgery end successfully?"

Old Master Kingston paused, and incredulously asked, "What did you say? Julian isn’t dead?"
