"No, I can't take it. As a doctor, it's my duty to save patients. Besides, this is a profession that I love
with all my heart. What you're doing is an insult to my career!" Nancy refused sternly.
She really didn't like that Zoe Ma, the patient's mother, was trying to give her a red envelope. Of
course, doctors who were greedy for money did exist, but they were rare. She didn't want her whole
profession to be degraded by those few black sheep.
"Dr. Nancy, not only are you a great doctor, but you are a good person as well!" Zoe Ma said, praising
her.
Not wanting to waste any more time on this conversation, Nancy just gave her a nod of
acknowledgment and turned her attention to the girl's legs. She suspected that the girl had a
hemorrhage, and she soon confirmed her guess with an X-ray scan.
The girl's legs were indeed seriously injured. Her last operation had been unsuccessful, causing the
back corner of her tibial plateau to lean forward. That was the main reason she couldn't walk easily.
"Prepare for the surgery," Nancy said. It was a complicated surgery, but Nancy was confident that it
would be a success.
Over the last few days, Nancy and Jessie had conducted all surgeries together, and this was no
exception.
As the main surgeon for this surgery, Nancy finished her part soon. Considering the young age of the
girl, she chose to give the girl a titanium alloy implant. Since the girl would grow quickly, it would be
possible for the implant to be removed in about three or four months.
The completion of the surgery was usually done by the assistants. Besides, as the director of the
pediatric department, Jessie would be able to do it easily, so Nancy just left it to her.
After that, she immediately started preparing for her next surgery.
When she finished the second surgery and walked out of the operating room, her path was
unexpectedly blocked by Zoe Ma, who began yelling hysterically, "Great doctor? You're the worst! You
promised that the surgery would be a success, but now her condition is even more serious than before.
I'm going to sue you, you bitch!"
Before Nancy could reply, a nurse ran over and explained, "Dr. Nancy's surgery was very successful.
There was an accident after she left!"
"What happened?" Nancy asked anxiously.
Zoe Ma grabbed Nancy's arm and said, "Nancy, look at my child's legs. Her tibial plateau is seriously
tilted. Is this what you call 'no problem'? Isn't it a big problem?"
Then, she threw the X-ray photo onto Nancy.
Nancy caught it, feeling like her stomach dropped. When she saw the X-ray, her face went pale. It
seemed that the girl's tibial plateau looked indeed worse than before the surgery.
This was absolutely not what the result should have been!
"I'm sorry, Dr. Nancy. It's my fault. It's all my fault!" Jessie ran up to them in a hurry and explained, "I
was going to do it in person, but my stomach ached so much that I handed the work to Stan, the intern.
I didn't expect that he would make such a mistake. I..."
She had a look of remorse on her face.
However, Zoe Ma completely ignored her and continued shooting daggers at Nancy with her eyes.
Then, beating Nancy with her fists, she shouted, "I don't care what happened or who messed up!
You're the one I brought my child to, Nancy. You're the one I trusted. Now, she's in a serious condition!
What should I do?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Nancy shook her head, feeling such a deep sense of guilt and regret that she
didn't even try to dodge or block her fists. She had never imagined that such a thing could happen.
Although she had never seen her own child, she had started seeing Bobby as her son, and whenever
something happened to him, she would be overcome with worry as if a knife was piercing her heart.
Since Zoe Ma was seeing her kid suffer a failed surgery,
it was only natural for her to hate Nancy.
"I don't want to hear your apologies. I want to know what I should do now to save my baby girl!" Zoe
Ma said as she continued to beat Nancy.
"There's only one choice now. She has to have a surgery again," Nancy said sadly.
"Can you guarantee that another accident won't happen again?" Zoe Ma's fists stopped in mid-air.
"Yes, I promise! I won't allow anything to go wrong again," Nancy said firmly.
This time, if there was a mistake during the surgery, the girl's legs would be permanently disabled.
As a doctor, she would never be able to forgive herself!
"Okay, Nancy, I'll trust you one more time. But if something happens to my child, I will kill you!"
Nancy did not say anything more.
She quickly began preparing for the surgery, this time without Jessie and Stan's help.
In the operating room, she put her full focus on the surgery.
Unbeknown to her, Zoe Ma had caused a great sensation on the internet by then.
She had put all the blame for the botched surgery on Nancy and even claimed that Nancy had taken
her red envelope.
As a result, many netizens left hate comments about Nancy and came to the conclusion that she had
no medical ethics.
The first friend of Nancy's to see this news was Doris. The night before, she had stayed awake the
whole night to take care of Jay.
He had been in so much pain that he had tortured her non-stop with his requests, albeit unintentionally.
Besides, since Doris was the only other person in the house with him, she was the only one that he
could vent his frustration on and keep himself distracted with.
Every time she left his side, his focus would return to his injury, which hurt so much that he would curl
up and cry, "Ouch! It hurts so much. Doctor, could you please give me some more medicine?"
Knowing that he was being an annoyance, he especially addressed Doris as "Doctor" to appease her.
Although she was tired, as an andrologist, Doris could understand how much pain he must be going
through.
So, she kept her temper under control. After a few times of giving him medicine, she said, "This
contains hormones, Mr. Fang. You will gain weight if you take too much!"
"Then make a warm compress for me, please!" Jay said miserably.
Doris was so exhausted that she wanted to turn down his request, but since Jay was her creditor, she
had no choice but to do as he said. She heated a towel and made him a warm compress.
"Help me apply it," Jay whined. Doris shot him a glare, but then she closed her eyes and kept the warm
compress on his crotch.
A minute later, Jay shouted,
"It's getting cold!"
So, Doris heated up the towel again.
In fact, she did this over and over again until dawn, when she was so sleepy that she couldn't even
keep her eyes open. In the end, she lowered her head and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
Jay raised his amorous eyes and let them slide over Doris' body.
He knew that it hadn't been an easy night for her. Although she was hot-tempered, she had been very
patient last night. And there was a certain streak of wildness in her that none of the gorgeous women
he usually surrounded himself with had.
For some reason, this aroused a deep desire in him.
After a while of devouring her with his eyes, he finally covered her with a blanket and went to sleep
feeling satisfied.
Doris, however, didn't sleep well. Her body ached all over. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jay
sleeping soundly.
As she stood up and stretched, she muttered, "You jerk! I must have owed you in my previous life.
That's why I have to pay you back in this one! It's my bad luck that I had to meet you."
Then, she glanced at the clock in his room. It was almost noon.
Fortunately, she was on afternoon duty today,
so she would still be able to make it to the hospital on time.
