Vincent promptly scooped up Alfy and dashed downstairs to the car. Within ten minutes, Katelyn and Vincent had transported Alfy to the hospital.
Katelyn had prearranged the hospital details during the drive. Upon their arrival, Alfy was quickly whisked away to the operating room. Throughout the ordeal, Alfy clung to Katelyn’s hand. Her lips turned pale, and her voice shook as she begged, “Katelyn, please be careful. I’m terrified of the pain.”
Alfy had always been closely guarded by her uncle since her childhood and had never undergone surgery before. Fear was unavoidable for her. Katelyn gazed at Alfy and whispered reassuringly, “Trust me.” The grip Alfy had on Katelyn’s clothing whitened her knuckles from the force she was exerting. Comforted by Katelyn’s words, Alfy began to settle down somewhat.
Katelyn gave a nod to the anesthetist standing next to her, signaling him to start the anesthesia.
Feeling the anesthesia take effect, Alfy’s body relaxed, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.
Katelyn proceeded with the preparations. To Katelyn, performing an appendectomy was a straightforward task; she was confident in her surgical skills.
The head surgeon was initially surprised to hear that Hades, a distinguished healer, was attending to a mere case of appendicitis. He wondered why such a renowned figure would handle a routine operation.
His curiosity was satisfied when he discovered the patient was Hades’s own apprentice. This revelation made sense to him.
The surgery took Katelyn just under an hour to complete. After finishing the operation and tidying up the surgical area, she had already removed her white coat.
Alfy’s eyes fluttered open. Seeing Katelyn seated beside her bed, she murmured weakly, “Katelyn…”

“Stay still; don’t move. Are you still in pain?” Katelyn asked, her voice filled with empathy for Alfy’s miserable condition.
Alfy had endured much. Her usually gentle features now appeared noticeably thinner.
At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted the quiet. Both Katelyn and Alfy turned their heads toward the sound.
Bernie entered the room with a concerned look and asked, “Alfy, how do you feel? Should I look for another doctor for you?” He approached the bedside and took Alfy’s hand gently.
Understanding her uncle’s deep concern, Alfy reassured him, “Uncle Bernie, I’m actually feeling much better now.”
After a brief pause, she added with a smile, “Moreover, the surgery was performed by the famous Hades. There’s no one else quite like her.”
“Hades?!” Bernie stopped short. His eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly asked, “Where is she now?” Alfy instinctively glanced at Katelyn.
Katelyn subtly shook her head, cautioning Alfy to remain silent.
Given that the T Organization was actively searching for her, Katelyn preferred to keep her identity hidden from everyone but her own people. Disclosing it to Alfy’s uncle could lead to unnecessary complications. Katelyn was not in favor of that.
