To Queenie, Zachary's confession was intensely revolting.
However, she was somewhat pleased with Zachary’s plan of putting Arielle behind bars. Her lips lifted into a forced smile as she
said, “We shall wait for that to cthen. Though | don’t think she deserves that severe punishment for bragging, she is indeed
causing harm to patients if she can’t keep to her promise.”
Queenie paused before continuing, “Oh yeah, where are the patient's close kins? | should go and meet them. Letbe in charge
of this surgery.”
“I'll bring you over.”
Zachary then led the way while Queenie followed behind.

In no time, they cbefore Henrick. “Greetings, this is Dr. Queenie Mill. She'll be the chief surgeon for the surgery this time.”
Henrick’s eyes lit up instantly upon seeing Queenie. “Dr. Mill! I've long heard your name. You're a lot prettier than on the
television.”
Countless appearances on various talk shows had brought immense ffor Queenie in Jadeborough. Hence it was no surprise
that Henrick could recognize her.
Queenie smiled as she nodded her head in acknowledgment. “You're too kind. I'll be in charge of
the surgery this time. But before we get started, we have to wait for the arrival of the robotic pacemakers that someone had
promised to send us.”
With a serious look on his face, Henrick immediately asked, “Can my mom undergo surgery without that device? I'm worried she
can’t afford any more delays...”
“Rest assured. I've visited the patient earlier. | believe she can wait till the devices are delivered. The other party has promised to
deliver the devices before midnight tomorrow. We'll begin the surgery once we get them.”
“Then...” Henrick sounded hesitant. “What if the devices don’t arrive on time?”
Queenie looked regretful as she explained, “If there's a delay due to the delivery, then I'm afraid Mrs. Southall might not be able to
make it...”
Hearing that, Henrick almost jumped out of his skin.
“What if that indeed happens? Can't you begin the surgery now? Can't we proceed without the device?”
Queenie shook her head. “Without the device, we'll be dealing with extremely high risks if we go on with the surgery. And not to
mention, there's only a twenty percent success rate. The choice is yours, and we won't force you to wait for tomorrow. You can
choose to proceed with the surgery now without the device.”
Henrick fell silent as he contemplated the options.

Twenty percent versus eighty percent success rate...
“I'll wait for the device then. But I'll surely pursue the matter if it doesn’t arrive on time!”
Queenie nodded. “Don’t worry. If the devices don’t arrive as promised, our hospital will also hold the other party liable.”
Henrick clenched his teeth tight. “I'll never let that person off the hook for failing to keep to her promise!”
His reaction was exactly the outcQueenie was hoping for.
After chatting for a while longer, she then returned for duty.
Meanwhile, Henrick stood frozen for a long tbefore the word Cindy said to him earlier popped up in his mind - Jinx.
Indeed. Nothing much ever happened in the house before Arielle came. Though Michael has admitted that Cindy made him say
those words, what if they turn out to be true? Shandie has died, and so did Yvette. And now it's Mom's turn. What if I'm next?
