A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 996

Yeager spent a sleepless night, feeling that it was Liana's meddling that led to Hailey breaking up with him. As a result, he vented all his frustration on Liana.

The next day, Yeager arrived at the hospital looking dispirited. As soon as he sat in his office, he saw Will Webb approaching with a beaming smile, holding a stack of documents.

"Dr. Yeager, the drug I've been developing has succeeded!" Will exclaimed.

Upon hearing the news, Yeager eagerly took the documents Will handed him.

"These are praises from international experts," Will continued.

"Yes, even our hospital will give recognition," he added.

Yeager was overjoyed, his hands trembling as he clutched the documents.

"In that case, with this drug, do you think we have a chance to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine?" Yeager asked with excitement.

Will nodded casually and waved his hand as if it didn't matter much.

"All that stuff doesn't matter. The important thing is that these drugs can relieve patients' pain and cure them."

Will believed that a doctor's duty is to save lives, personal glory isn't that important. But Yeager didn't think so.

"Saving lives and personal glory are equally important."

Will didn't argue with him anymore. People chase different things and naturally have different thinking. It's no big deal.

As they excitedly looked through the documents, the director walked in smiling, patting Will on the shoulder.

"Mr. Webb, you did great. The Nobel Prize in Medicine should be yours this time."

Will scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

"It's a team effort, Dr. Yeager also helped a lot."

The director glanced at Yeager and smiled.

"Dr. Yeager only assisted, the one who will accept the award will definitely be you."

"I can assist with the surgery, but I'm not familiar with your patient..."

"Don't worry, I'll be in the operating room with you in the afternoon, guiding you," Yeager assured.

Hearing this, the ever-helpful Will agreed readily.

"Okay."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, with Will taking the lead and Yeager guiding from the side, a major incident occurred during the surgery.

The patient suddenly died on the operating table. The hospital's top management, including Liana, rushed to the scene.

The deceased patient was an internationally reputed medical expert. Although he was old and retired, he still held a high status in the global medical community.

This should have been a very safe surgery, but due to Will's mistake, the patient died. The patient's family members rushed over, hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital, emotions running high.

Will leaned against the wall, his gaze fixed on the sterile surgical gloves, drops of blood kept falling. He couldn't understand how such a simple surgery could have resulted in a medical accident...
