Fortunately, Nathan held her in his arms from behind. With a pale face, she bit her lip tightly and said in
a trembling voice, "Nathan... Something terrible is about to happen to Adrian."
Nathan's heart cracked when he saw the pained look on Mandy's face. He immediately took out his
phone and dialed a number. "Arrest Eve and Ouyang immediately!" he barked at whoever was on the
other line.
Nathan had no physical strength left to rein in his anger. He grew up with Eve, and, one way or another,
he had some feelings for her. He had assumed that she would not be cruel enough to make venomous
personal moves against an innocent child. He had assumed wrong. She really was capable of doing
something terrible and unpardonable.
All of Adrian's test results revealed that there was a large amount of bacteria and viruses in his body.
The Dean even said that in all his thirty years working as a physician, he had never encountered such
a terrible case.
The fifteen top-level doctors in JR Hospital, including Audrey, held a meeting at once. They sat in the
meeting room and discussed possible methods to remove the bacteria and viruses from Adrian's body.
"For now, the only solution is to draw Adrian's bone marrow and to see how much bacteria and viruses
are in his body," Doctor Li from the hematology department said seriously, pushing his black-framed
glasses to the bridge of his nose.
Mandy was also sitting in the meeting room. Her legs were still weak. She took a deep breath. Pain and
sorrow shrouded her face. She knew that drawing Adrian's bone marrow meant the beginning of his
suffering. As a four-year-old child, how could Adrian bear all these painful and invasive treatments?
However, this seemed to be the only way out for him.
After an hour in the meeting room, all the directors and doctors had reached a consensus on the
matter.
Mandy nearly had a nervous breakdown. However, she had no other choice. She could only let Adrian
undergo the bone marrow biopsy. To remove all the bacteria and viruses in the body, there were only
two ways. One was to research and develop a new drug to do the job, and the other was stem cell
therapy.
"This is urgent. If we're going to save the child, we should immediately go to the blood bank to look for
blood stem cell matches for Adrian," Audrey said gravely. She did not expect that the final test results
would be the same as what Leo had told her.
"Another solution is to research and develop a new drug to combat the bacteria and virus. For every
kind of bacteria in the world, there's a drug. I don't believe that the human body can't remember every
bacteria it ever hosted." Mandy suggested as she rubbed her temple. Since she saw Adrian's test
results, her temples had been throbbing as if they could sense that something bad was about to
happen.
"I think it's not a good idea right now. Drug research and development require a lot of experience and
time, and we simply are out of time," Audrey retorted with eyebrows furrowed.
The medical field was very complex. What's more, Ouyang had spent three years on the research and
development of his bacteria. Therefore, the cure could not be developed in a short period of time.
"There should be a plan B for everything. Don't you know that? You have been a doctor for so many
years," Mandy asked almost mockingly. She did not know who Audrey really was and what she was up
to. She felt like Audrey had always gone against her when it came to Adrian as though Adrian was her
own son.
Being questioned by Mandy in front of her colleagues, Audrey curled her lips and fell silent. She
suddenly did not know what to say. The atmosphere in the meeting room turned eerily quiet and heavy.
Nobody moved a muscle.
"Doctors, Adrian is suffering from shock! Adrian is suffering from shock!"
At that moment, a nurse suddenly stormed in the meeting room to deliver the news.
Upon hearing it, Mandy immediately stood up from her seat and raced toward the ward. The doctors
and the Dean followed her immediately.
At that moment, Adrian had been sent to the operating room. In the morning, Adrian started to vomit
after breakfast. At that hour, Mandy was in the meeting room with the doctors, leaving Nathan and
Fiona to take care of him. After he vomited everything he had for breakfast and coughed a few times,
he suddenly went into shock.
Fortunately, the surgeons came immediately and took him to the operating room.
Mandy stopped at the door of the operating room. She also wanted to go inside, but she could not
because of hospital protocol. She hesitated and turned to the Dean of the hospital.
Nathan was also standing at the door of the operating room, great anxiety giving him a long face. He
knew that Mandy wanted to go inside, but he was afraid that she would step out with too much of a
psychological burden. With that thought in mind, he reached out and grabbed her by the hand.
"Nathan, he's my child. I must save him myself," Mandy spoke confidently, her face full of fighting will.
She thought that she had saved so many people before. Why could she not save her own child? After
finishing her words, Mandy looked into the Dean's eyes.
The Dean was the most powerful man in hospital. He had a say in everything. As long as the Dean
allowed Mandy to go inside the operating room, no one would dare to stop her.
The Dean understood what Mandy was thinking. He was touched by her words, so he said
immediately, "We must save your child. Let's go inside together."
Entering the changing area before the operation, Mandy changed into a green, sterile operating gown
and scrubbed her hands and arms. She was still familiar with such protocols, but now she had a
strange and sad feeling in her heart.
'I'm a doctor. I must save my child, '
Mandy thought to herself as she stepped inside the operating room with a determined look on her face.
At that moment, Adrian was already lying motionless on the operating table. Doctor Wang, the first-aid
doctor, was sweating with a B-ultrasound machine in his hand. "Adrian's blood pressure is dropping!" a
nurse shouted out.
"Set up an IV line right now," Mandy gave orders in a calm tone after taking a deep breath. She was
standing in front of the operating table.
Audrey immediately got two bottles of medicine and injected them into Adrian's veins.
Looking at the changing numbers on the monitor, Mandy frowned. She pressed one of her hands on
Adrian's chest and started to massage him skillfully. Everyone was confused and wondered what
Mandy was doing.
Every time she pressed, she exerted force to his heart. To everyone's surprise and amazement, she
cut Adrian's arm with a scalpel.
"What are you doing, Mandy?" Angelina exclaimed with wide eyes.
The rest of the doctors were all shocked. They all knew that Adrian's blood coagulation function had
been decreased, and now Mandy was cutting him. Did she want to kill her own child?
