Chapter 515 Lucy and Hayden were equally thrilled. "Carly, we'll be waiting for you outside," said Lucy. Carly nodded in agreement. "Okay." Adam turned his attention to Celine. "I'm entrusting Carly to you, Celine. Please, don't take any unnecessary risks." Adam was taken aback by Celine's sudden willingness to perform the surgery. Her change in demeanor felt abrupt, making him uneasy. Robin couldn't help but interject, "Mr.

Alvarez, are you seriously threatening Celine for Carly's sake?" Hailey, with crossed arms, added, "Mr. Alvarez, just wait. You'll regret this soon." Adam furrowed his brows, dismissing Hailey and Robin, and focused on Celine. Unperturbed, Celine assured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Alvarez. Carly, let's go." With a cheerful wave to Adam, Carly reassured him, "I'm heading in. With you here, Celine won't dare harm me!" Supported by Adam, Carly felt fearless.

As Celine and Carly approached the operating room doors, a familiar voice called out, "Celine?" Celine turned to see Alfred, the village doctor she had been waiting for. Alfred approached her, remarking, "Celine, you've grown so much." When Celine had been abandoned in the countryside, Alfred had shown her kindness, a gesture she deeply appreciated. "Alfred, it's been years. How have you been?" she inquired. "I'm doing well, Celine. I heard you've become a skilled doctor now. That's incredible!

Even as a little girl, I saw your talent for medicine. I always knew you were destined for greatness. And now, here you are, proving me right!" Alfred chuckled warmly. Carly eyed Alfred with disdain, noting his rural origins. "Celine, enough small talk. We have a surgery to attend to." Alfred's gaze briefly shifted to Carly before settling on Adam. Surprised, he exclaimed, "Wait... It's you?" Adam sensed a flicker of recognition in Alfred's eyes, feeling as though they had met before.

"Have we met?" he inquired. "Certainly! Do you recall? Years ago, you were gravely injured and found unconscious in the forest. A young girl discovered you and brought you to a cave. The next day, she sought my help, and I provided you with medication," Alfred recounted. A distant memory resurfaced in Adam's mind. He remembered spending a night in a cave, being cared for by a girl. The following morning, she had fetched a village doctor who had administered treatment to him. "I remember now.

I never properly thanked you for saving my life," Adam acknowledged. Alfred waved off the gratitude. "No need for thanks. I did what any doctor would have done. The true hero was that girl. You were in dire straits. Without her, you wouldn't have made it. You should thank her." Adam turned to Carly. "That girl was Carly. I found her later." Alfred gazed at Carly in disbelief. "What? She's the one who saved you?" "Is there a problem?" Adam inquired. This revelation was a nightmare for Carly.

Her complexion paled as she realized that the village doctor from her past had resurfaced at such a critical juncture. Having witnessed everything firsthand, he knew who had saved Adam's life. Carly's heart sank. Why did he have to appear now, just before her surgery? She implored Adam urgently, "Adam... My heart doesn't feel right. Let's stop talking and proceed with the surgery, please." She was eager to end the conversation and begin the procedure.
