Chapter 716

Haylan and Yvonne wandered around Massach General Hospital, occasionally popping into a department ward when they walked past.

Now and then, Haylan would grab hold of a patient, a nurse, or a doctor, pass then something, and engage then in conversation.

His foreign language was almost perfect, and there was no hint of an accent in his voice at all. Anyone would have assumed he was from the Whileal Kingdom.

Moreover, he was a highly persuasive individual. Very quickly, he managed to obtain information about Bernard from one of the hospital workers.

No wonder Bernard was acting all high and mighty. He was the assistant director of Massach General Hospital, after all.

However, his inedical skills were nothing to speak of. He had spent too little time tending to patients these past few years, choosing to focus instead on administration.

Unfortunately, Massach General Hospital judged its workers on their professional skills. His carefully cultivated people skills did not win him any respect. Everyone seemed to look down on him instead.

Jeremy Housman, one of the other vice presidents at Massach, seemed particularly contemptuous of him.

“Jeremy Housman?” Haylan asked, stunned.

This name sounded a little familiar.

The moment Yvonne heard this name, her eyes lit up. “Housman Jeremy? Is he in the hospital now?”

“You know him?” Haylan turned to her with a shocked expression.

“Not only do I know him, he’s practically my idol!”

Yvonne sounded incredibly excited as she gushed about Housman. Enthusiastically, she continued. “Doctor Housman is the most famous surgeon on earth! He’s known for being able to perform even the most complicated and dangerous cardiothoracic surgeries.

“Half of the human heart transplants in history were personally performed by him.

“Furthermore, the success rate of his surgery is very high. His patients face a survival rate of more than 90 percent, and they go on to recover very well too.

“He’s basically the Hippocrates of our times!”

Cardiothoracic surgery?

Upon hearing these two words, Haylan recalled something immediately.

No wonder this name was so familiar. It was him!

When he was learning medicine from his master long ago, his master brought him to several extraterritorial battlefields Haylan had assumed the role of a military doctor and helped to patch up injured soldiers

It was the busiest six months of his life. He frequently woke up at 6 am and headed straight to perform a high–stakes operation. He tended to patients till four in the morning and only slept for two hours each night.

Occasionally, when a battle broke out, he would be so busy that he stayed up for several nights in a row. The stress was

immense.

If not for the cultivation technique his master had taught him, Haylan would have died of fatigue

Back then, because there was so much work, he could not replace an assistant who could keep up.

Rather, it might be more accurate to say that they all gave up from fatigue.

Only a young man in his thirties continued to follow him as an assistant, helping Haylan with surgical procedures. He never uttered a word of complaint and seemed to have never–ending energy. Haylan had an excellent impression of hims

That young man’s name was Housman!

Back then, Housman was a fledgling doctor. While assisting Haylan, Housman asked him many questions and learned the best surgical practices from him.

He was particularly interested in the field of cardiothoracic surgery. Haylan remembered how eager to learn he was

Admiring his enthusiasm, Haylan taught the young man all he knew about modern medicine

However, he did not pass on the secrets of traditional medicine to him

After all, traditional medicine was Longhard Kingdom’s treasure. Without his master x permission, he could not teach to
