No matter what Charles said, Derrick still kept silent.
"Well, since you pretend to be asleep and doesn't speak, then listen to me for a while. In the end, you
are still a member of the Fu family. If we go down, you'll go down with us. So, if David is planning to do
something bad, I hope you can stop him. You'd better not cooperate with him to do something evil."
It was not hard for Charles to guess that Anna wouldn't just let Joseph go after he made her have an
abortion. As a father, David might do something bad at the instigation of Anna.
Therefore, Charles was afraid that Derrick would collude with David to deal with Joseph. What Charles
didn't know was that David directed all the hatred to him.
Seconds had passed, but Derrick still didn't open his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't have a plan to talk to them at all, Nancy persuaded, "Let's go. He must be asleep.
We'll see him another day."
"Alright. Let's go." After giving a final cold glance, Charles walked out of the room with Nancy.
The door was slammed closed, so Derrick slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with hatred.
"Charles, you make me suffer. Why would I let you live a happy life? Joseph is nothing but a piece of
mud. It's you who I need to deal with."
When Charles left the hospital, he went straight to the company for his meeting in the afternoon.
While Nancy had an operation that afternoon that ended late.
So, it was Hiram who picked up the kids.
The length of the operation depended on the operation itself, but the surgeon could predict it.
However, pediatricians worked with the children. If it was not a complicated operation, they should try
not to put the children on anesthesia for too long.
Today, they had performed an operation for a two-year-old girl whose right leg was seriously deformed.
Since Nancy was an experienced doctor, the operation went smoothly and ended sooner than
expected even though it was supposed to be a very complicated one.
The operation ended early, and the child was still under anesthesia, so she didn't wake up for a
moment.
The family members didn't understand what had happened. Instead, they thought that something went
wrong with the operation.
As they waited, they gradually became anxious until they began to complain.
Whenever this happened, the first thing Nancy needed to do was to give them comfort and explanation.
The child's parents looked gentle, but surprisingly, they weren't well-educated. They shouted at Nancy
and blamed her.
They even grabbed Nancy's clothes and wanted to beat her.
They had become violent to the point where the president of the hospital was alerted.
This was not the first time for Nancy to encounter such situation so she remained calm and waited for
an opportunity to explain everything. She had to explain that the estimated time was right, but the
operation went on smoothly so it shortened the duration.
Was it wrong to perform an operation smoothly?
Everyone present understood it after Nancy repeated it several times, except the child's parents who
even cursed Hobart for defending Nancy.
"You colluded with each other to fool the family of the patient. The child is so young! If something bad
happens to her, we will kill everyone in the hospital."
Although she had encountered such situation before, it was the first time for Nancy to meet such an
unreasonable person.
Trying to be patient, Nancy said, "Stop shouting. If anything happens to your child, I will take full
responsibility. It has nothing to do with the other hospital staffs."
"Can you afford it?" The child's father grabbed Nancy's collar.
"You don't think my life is worth it, but I think it is." Ignoring the hatred in his eyes, Nancy calmly
continued, "If you kill me now, the child won't wake up. I promise you that the child will wake up in an
hour."
"Okay, as you said." The mother pulled the man away and looked at Nancy aggressively.
"Yes, I promise," Nancy answered firmly.
"Okay, we'll just wait for an hour."
It was already past the off-duty time when the patient's parents calmed down, so she asked Hobart and
other medical staff to go off work. They all agreed and Nancy was left alone in the room.
She was confident that the kid would wake up in an hour.
Sure enough, the kid woke up in less than an hour.
With a smile, Nancy stood up and said, "Look, it was just because of the anesthesia. Your daughter is
fine and the operation is successful. You don't have to worry anymore."
Looking at the little girl on the bed, the woman said shyly, "Well, that's enough."
On the contrary, the father was still furious and he even raised his voice at Nancy. "She may be fine for
now, but it doesn't mean that she will be fine moving forward. Only after the child is safely discharged
from the hospital can we rest assured."
"Since we have done an operation, she would need some time to rest. But as long as you take good
care of her, she can slowly exercise on the ground after three months. The child should recover well,"
explained Nancy.
It was just a radial corrective osteotomy, and Nancy had done it countless times so she was confident.
"Be careful of the hygiene. Don't let anything dirty affect the wound. I'm going home now. If there's
anything wrong, don't hesitate to call me."
"Okay." The woman softened her tone.
When Nancy was about to leave, the man stubbornly said, "I think you should stay tonight. After all,
you are the surgeon and my child is your little patient. She is so young, so young..."
Since the man was so stubborn, Nancy had no choice but to agree. "Okay, I'll be in the doctor's office.
If you have something to say, just call me."
"Okay." Feeling hopeless, Nancy went out of the room.
Then she called Charles to tell him that she couldn't go home tonight because she had a patient to take
care of.
Charles had no choice but to support Nancy.
Because he loved her.
The night was as quiet as usual.
From time to time, the family members and guardians passed by the corridor to get some water. There
were also patients who came out to exercise, holding on the railing for support.
There was nothing unusual.
Nancy didn't go to her lounge until the kid was asleep.
She was so tired today that she fell asleep soon.
All of a sudden, she was woken up by a noise, but she couldn't open her eyes.
In a daze, she felt someone pick her up and put her into the car.
The noise faded away as the car drove away from the hospital.
Then Nancy fell asleep again.
That night, a fire broke out in the surgical building of the hospital. It took three hours to put out the fire.
No one was injured or killed, but the pediatrician, Nancy, was nowhere to be found.
When Frederic knew this, he was so frightened that he passed out.
In a hurry, Charles went to the hospital to take care of everything.
The media had said that the sudden disappearance of Nancy was related to the fire, which made
Charles uneasy and anxious.
Of course, Charles knew that she was not that kind of person. Moreover, she was a responsible doctor,
a kind woman and a mother of two children. How could she commit arson? She had no reason to burn
down the hospital.
Knowing that something might have happened to her, Charles ordered his men to find Nancy.
But the media was afraid that it was not the case. They said that last night was not Nancy's duty, but
she stayed for a hidden purpose.
