Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Schemes and Surgery Recommendations
Hung up the phone.
Director Arnold dialed Sean Vaughn’s number.
"What’s up? Keep it short, I’m working out at the gym." Sean Vaughn was wearing athletic pants, with only a thin white tank top on his upper body, exposing his well-defined arms.
Sean Vaughn’s face was dripping with sweat, his black messy hair also wet and drooping on his head, he gasped heavily for air.
"Working out? Weren’t you exhausted after shooting and unwilling to work out? You only exercise at the gym when you’re resting?" Director Arnold found Sean Vaughn’s behavior a bit strange.
"People change, I suddenly feel that after shooting the MV, I’m not that tired. I want to work out and get eight-pack abs, don’t I have ideals?"
Sean Vaughn flicked the sweat off his messy hair, working out was really damn tiring.
"Wow! That’s a great goal, you got to keep it up!" Director Arnold was pleasantly surprised with Sean Vaughn’s ambition because in the post-production of Sean Vaughn’s MV, there was a segment showcasing male strength and physique.
Due to Sean Vaughn’s dissatisfaction with Susan Heston, he directly cut that scene and refused to shoot with Susan Heston, the fangirl. Director Arnold had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
Is Sean Vaughn working out now to prepare to add the cut scene back in?
Director Arnold was very excited but did not ask Sean Vaughn at this moment.
"What’s the reason for calling me? If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up." Sean Vaughn saw a bottle of mineral water not far away, planning to drink some and replenish his energy before continuing his workout.
Director Arnold recalled the purpose of his call to Sean Vaughn.
He quickly said, "Don’t hang up! Ivana Monroe is injured, the MV can’t be shot normally now."
The phone in Sean Vaughn’s hand immediately fell to the ground.
He quickly picked it up and asked urgently, "Injured? How serious is it? Tell me quickly, which hospital is she in? I’m heading over right now."
Director Arnold was surprised that Sean Vaughn cared so much about Ivana Monroe.
Director Arnold said, "Young Master Vaughn, calm down first. Ivana’s ankle is fractured and needs to rest for a month. I told her we would wait until her foot healed to resume shooting."
Sean Vaughn angrily said, "Are you crazy? Ivana is already that seriously injured and you’re discussing shooting with her? Is money all you care about?"
Director Arnold: "..."
Director Arnold felt he was being wrongly accused. He was very lenient towards Ivana, unlike what Sean Vaughn suggested—only seeing money.
Director Arnold said bitterly, "Young Master Vaughn, calm down. That’s not what I meant. I meant... to let her rest peacefully without worrying about the shoot."
Young Master Vaughn, you seem to be overly anxious about Ivana.
Sean Vaughn snorted coldly, "She’s my sister, not yours. If your sister’s ankle were fractured, could you remain calm? Enough nonsense, which hospital is she in? I’m going over now."
Director Arnold: Ivana doesn’t seem to be your biological sister, does she!
Director Arnold: "I don’t know which hospital she’s in either. I asked her, but she wouldn’t say and hung up the phone."
Sean Vaughn: "You’re really useless."
Director Arnold: "..."

The next day came in a blink.
A new orthopedic doctor entered Ivana Monroe’s hospital room: "Hello, I’m Professor Griffin from Mount Cygnus Hospital’s orthopedic department."
Ivana Monroe: "Hello, Professor Griffin."
Leo Griffin nodded: "I am now responsible for your treatment. I’ve reviewed your scans. Applying a cast is the most rudimentary method and might not heal your fracture."
Timmy Monroe heard this and became tense.
Ivana Monroe: "Then what’s your suggestion, Professor Griffin?"
Leo Griffin: "Surgery."
Ivana Monroe frowned and remained silent.
Leo Griffin continued unhurriedly: "You’ve just fractured your bone now, which is the best time for surgery. If you miss this optimal period, it will increase the difficulty and risk of the surgery. I hope Ms. Monroe can make a decision quickly."
Pausing for a moment, he added: "I am the chief expert of the orthopedic department at Mount Cygnus Hospital, ranking second in all of Ravenswood for orthopedic surgery. No one dares to claim first. Even at Ravenswood’s primary hospital, when faced with challenging orthopedic surgeries, the director personally invites me to perform the operation."
So impressive?
Ivana Monroe suddenly asked, "Did Leon Keane ask you to come?"
Leo Griffin paused, hesitated for a moment: "The director invited me."
Because of Leon Keane’s connections, it’s not surprising that the director sent Leo Griffin over.
Ivana Monroe nodded: "I see. I will consider it further."
Leo Griffin frowned: "Don’t take too long to consider, give me a quick response, I have other patients requiring surgery."
Ivana Monroe: "Okay."
After Leo Griffin left.
Aunt Golding excitedly said: "Ivana, you should agree to his proposal. Professor Griffin is the top bone specialist in Ravenswood. It’s said that every year, just to make an appointment with him, you have to book half a year in advance."
That’s just to get an appointment; as for surgery, it might require even more time.
Even so, countless people still wait each year for Leo Griffin’s surgery.
Surgeries always have risks, but Leo Griffin can minimize them to the lowest possible level, and his post-operative recovery is incomparable to other orthopedic surgeons. One astonishing feat was a leg fracture that allowed walking within seven days after the operation.
Simply an astounding medical miracle.
Aunt Golding feared Ivana Monroe didn’t know these things, so she told her everything she knew, adding finally: "He is truly the best orthopedic professor in Ravenswood, no one can compare to him."
Ivana Monroe was amazed after hearing this. If it truly is this way, she should have agreed to Leo Griffin earlier.
Ivana Monroe said: "Yes, he’ll come again. When he does, I’ll ask thoroughly just how many days after the surgery my foot can completely recover."
Aunt Golding: "It’s certainly faster than having a cast put on. Didn’t Professor Griffin mention that a cast might not heal your foot?"
Timmy Monroe, who hopes Ivana gets better soon, said: "Grandma Golding made Professor Griffin sound exceptionally skilled. Mommy, you should undergo surgery!"
Ivana Monroe smiled: "Okay."

Shelton Hale’s office.
Leo Griffin entered directly without knocking.
Shelton Hale saw the person enter and asked, "How did it go? Did she agree to the surgery?"
Leo Griffin shook his head: "She said she needed to consider it."
Shelton Hale’s face darkened: "This is truly surprising. She actually didn’t happily agree immediately and still wants to consider? Could she have discovered something?"
Shelton Hale said this intentionally to imply Leo Griffin’s inefficiency.
"Are you doubting my reliability?" Leo Griffin sniffed disdainfully, continuing: "Women! They’re typically indecisive and like to dawdle. Let her think it over!"
Shelton Hale: "How confident are you that she’ll agree?"
"Eighty to ninety percent. The old caretaker with her seems to know the name of Leo Griffin well. Her facial expressions were quite animated when I mentioned I was Leo Griffin. After I left, she’ll likely advocate for me to convince Ivana to undergo surgery."
Leo Griffin suddenly remembered something: "When I was in Room 2, Ivana mentioned Leon Keane. What’s their relationship?"
