The surgery required to remove these fragments was extremely complex and risky, and no doctor had been willing to take it on. However, delaying the procedure increased the risk of her falling into a vegetative state—or worse, brain death.
Athena assessed Lucy's critical condition by glancing over the medical records.
'Even Dr. Annie would admit this surgery is a tough one,' Athena thought, torn between getting involved or staying out of it.
Deep in thought, she pulled out her phone and started searching for news about Lucy's car accident. Since Matthew mentioned the incident was being kept under wraps, it wasn't a shock that no detailed information was available online.
However, she did come across some scattered articles about a major fallout between Lucy and the Graham Group's board of directors five years ago.
The board had issued a public ultimatum: if Lucy didn't step down from all her roles, they'd offload the majority of their shares to her rivals within the Graham family.
As the board's deadline loomed, Lucy vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a few documents. These papers revealed that she had agreed to most of the board's demands, keeping only her director position and transferring 12% of her shares to Matthew, while holding on to just 3% for herself.
After that, she disappeared from the public eye, and Matthew assumed the role of CEO of the Graham Group. In the years that followed, rumors swirled that Lucy had died, but no evidence ever surfaced.
As Athena sifted through the reports, her mind raced. 'Lucy must have seen the danger coming and made sure her brother was set up for success,' Athena reasoned internally.
She also noticed that Matthew had launched the "Miracle" brand around the same time. 'Could his sister's accident have fueled his obsession with creating it?' she wondered.
"The twisted mess of wealthy families..." Athena sighed, putting her phone down.
'At least Lucy was a loyal sister, and Matthew seems to have been just as dedicated to her. I've gotta admit, that's something I respect,' she thought. 'But should I take on Lucy's surgery?'
After a moment of hesitation, she snapped a photo of Lucy's medical records and sent it to a group chat labeled "Dr. Annie," with the message: [I've got a high-stakes patient here, and the reward is a Miracle 3.0. Who's in?]
Athena was, in fact, the elusive Annie. But Annie wasn't just her—it was an alias for her entire medical team.
