Chapter 5
When Layla saw me, she froze in panic.
She sized me up from head to toe, and when she noticed my rosy complexion and healthy appearance, she was left more
startled.
“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to have already…?”
She must have thought I was dead.
No wonder she had been looking at me like I was a ghost.
I smirked, a mocking grin spreading across my face, and teased, “Layla, what’s wrong? I only resigned. I didn’t die!”
The other patients, hearing my words, immediately gathered around me, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
“Dr. Hart, is that true?”
“Can you really perform pain-free surgeries?”
I smiled and nodded, “Of course I can!”
Layla immediately screamed, “Impossible! You can’t perform pain-free surgeries!”
I gave a cold, disdainful snort and retorted, “Who said only you could learn it?”
Her face turned pale, and she was so flustered she couldn’t speak.
I studied her expression carefully, raising an eyebrow and smiling. “I watched your video and learned it.”
“Impossible! I can’t… I can’t…”
With my provocation, Layla almost blurted out the truth in her panic but stopped herself just in time.
At that moment, Nova appeared.
She pretended not to recognize me, and holding a microphone, she began to interview me.
“Dr. Hart, you say you can also perform pain-free surgeries now? Is that true?”
I nodded and challenged Layla to a contest.
“Layla, how about we have a competition? Let’s see who can really perform pain-free surgeries.”
Layla instinctively shook her head, refusing, “I’m not going to compete with you…”
But before she could finish her sentence, she felt the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd.
The onlookers exchanged confused whispers, casting curious glances at her.
“She’s already done dozens of pain-free surgeries, and now she’s afraid of Dr. Hart, who’s just learned?”

1 feel like Layla’s getting a little guilty. Look at her, she’s sweating from Dr. Hart’s challenge.”
“Have you seen her surgery videos? I’m really curious. How does she manage to make her terrible skills seem pain-free?”
The hospital director, noticing the crowd gathering in front of the hospital, had been considering urging Layla to resume
surgeries.
Now, hearing that I could do the same, though skeptical, he approached.
“Have you really learned it? You’re not trying to fool me, are you?”
I shrugged. “It’s boring to demonstrate this technique alone. I’d like to do a live competition with Layla and invite some
expert doctors to the scene so we can all communicate and share insights.”
Upon hearing this, Layla became even more nervous, struggling to say anything. But then, she suddenly had an idea.
She immediately agreed.
“Fine, but don’t end up killing the patients.”
I looked at her in confusion. “Who said we need patients there? We’ll be our own patients.”
“You can only perform the technique properly if you’re pain-free yourself, right?”
“Layla, you’re not scared, are you?”
