chapter 40 It doesn’t matter if it’s useless
"Ahh!!!"
A piercing scream came from the operating room.
Then, Olivia's frosty yet mocking voice said, "Vice-Dean Qin, you only achieved what you have today at an old age, so why did you destroy it with your own hands now?"
"Since you don't take your own future seriously, and you forget about medical ethics and do such unscrupulous things to patients in the operating room just for a small profit, then... it's useful for you to have a hand that can hold the needle and thread."
Olivia took the needle and thread from Vice-Dean Qin's hand and was about to push him away when she saw Vice-Dean Qin getting frustrated abruptly.
He grabbed a scalpel from the side, wanting to stab Olivia aggressively.
At this time, he was like a beast driven into a panic. He had long forgotten about medical ethics and didn't care whether Olivia was the miracle doctor Dr. Xue or not.
He only knew that once what he did was exposed, the consequences would be dire.
So now, Vice-Dean Qin wanted to drag Olivia down with him so that he could have a way out.
"Is this the medical ethics of a miracle doctor to attack a suturing doctor in the operating room?" Vice-Dean Qin gritted his teeth as he tried to hit Olivia with the scalpel using great accuracy, rapid speed, and deadly force.
At this time, Olivia was standing in front of the operating table. Once she dodged Vice-Dean Qin's scalpel, the scalpel would directly hit Sofia, who was lying on the operating table.
Sofia, who had just undergone surgery, was weak as she had just returned from the verge of death. Olivia's seven or eight hours of hard work would be in vain if the scalpel hit her.
As Olivia, she would lose her mom.
As the undefeated miracle doctor Zoey Xue, the rumor of her being invincible would be gone, her reputation in the industry would plummet, and she would become a joke in the future.
Even if she could still save lives, heal the wounded in the future as before, and use her superb medical skills to solve major medical conundrums, it would not change the fact that she failed this operation today.
It would become a big failure in her life that could never be erased.
Of course, Vice-Dean Qin didn't know that Olivia was Zoey, nor did he know that the person on the operating table was Zoey's mom.
So what he wanted to do now was to tarnish Zoey's reputation so he could threaten her and make her his accomplice.
Olivia saw through Vice-Dean Qin's manipulative plan at once. She sneered, dodged his attack, and firmly grabbed his hand holding the scalpel.
"Vice-Dean Qin, do you think your left hand will be crippled too if I exerted more force?"
Olivia narrowed her eyes and spoke sharply. The cold aura emanating from her body almost overwhelmed the entire operating room.
Alice immediately stepped forward and took the scalpel from Vice-Dean Qin's hand. She called for the nurses to come over and quickly protected Sofia from the crazed Vice-Dean Qin.
"Zoey Xue, don't think that you're exceptional just because you are skilled. I'm not afraid of you!" Even though Vice-Dean Qin said he was not scared of Olivia, he still didn't dare to move.
The horror of having the bones in his right hand crushed directly and the bone-piercing pain almost made him breathless.
He fully believed that the moment he moved, the fully-armed woman in front of him, exposing her eyes only, would severely crush his other hand.
He had lost his right hand. As a doctor, he knew very well that even if his right hand healed, he would no longer be able to hold needles, threads or a scalpel again.
So, Vice-Dean Qin couldn't afford to lose his left hand, too.
He didn't dare to move his hands and body, but Vice-Dean Qin kept speaking sarcastically, "Do you dare to show your face? Don't pretend to be mysterious every day and night. If you are brave enough, show us your face!"
Olivia smiled. "Whether I reveal my face or not is not related to whether I'm capable or not. Besides, you don't have the right to negotiate with me."
After saying that, Olivia quickly inserted two needles into Vice-Dean Qin's legs.
Vice-Dean Qin screamed in pain, then knelt on the ground, unable to move.
Olivia didn't look at him. Instead, she called Dean Zhao and others over. "Take a good look at what Vice-Dean Qin did to the patient while he was suturing the wound."
Olivia slowly cut open the sutured wound.
Immediately, the barely noticeable wires around the wound appeared before everyone's eyes.
Most importantly, the wires were black.
They were obviously contaminated with some poisonous liquid.
Olivia used tweezers to pick out all the wires and handed one to Dean Zhao. "Dean Zhao, please help me test it to see what's on it."
With that said, Olivia quickly treated the wound. Soon, the wound oozed blood after various sterilization, disinfection, and detoxification processes.
Olivia somewhat regretted her overconfidence. She had put Sofia's life in danger to catch Vice- Dean Qin red-handed.
But Olivia only guessed that Vice-Dean Qin would harm Sofia, not knowing that he would be this cruel and vicious.
"Alice, you will be my assistant."
"Dr. Zhang, please call the police for me."
Olivia gave strict orders before proceeding to suture Sofia's wound herself.
Olivia blamed herself when she looked at Sofia, whose face was pale and without a trace of blood. She took the latter's hand but could not express her regret.
"Zoey, Q has news for you. C is waiting for you outside." Alice leaned in and whispered into Olivia's ear.
Olivia nodded. "Okay. You will shield me later. I have my ways to escape."
"Noted."
Olivia quickly went to the dressing room with Alice and the others. After changing back into her clothes, she asked Alice to wear a black casual outfit, a cap, and a mask, pretending to be Zoey.
The door to the operating room opened, and the people outside immediately came to greet the doctors.
The most excited people were not Xavier or Tyrone but Mia and Emma.
"Dr. Zhang, how did it go?" Mia's face was full of worry, but she couldn't hide the anticipation in her eyes.
Vice-Dean Qin promised them that even if Sofia could survive the operation, she would not live for more than three days, so Mia was excited.
"Dr. Zhang, how is my ex-wife?" Tyrone approached Dr. Zhang as well.
Xavier frowned and glanced behind Dr. Zhang as if he were looking for Zoey and a certain someone.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Mia. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Xue, the patient's surgery was successful. Now you only need to pay attention to her recuperation in the later stage and she will be fully recovered soon." Dr. Zhang's voice was hoarse yet excited.
The excitement was because he was excited to witness a medical miracle. The hoarseness was because he was too tired. In addition, Dr. Zhang was still unable to recover after seeing Vice-Dean Qin's actions.
"That, that's great." Tyrone twitched the corner of his mouth with obvious disappointment in his eyes.
To him, it would be great if the operation failed. Despite Vice-Dean Qin's assurance, he still felt that waiting two to three days was a long time for Sofia to pass on.
"This is amazing, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Mia, you have to thank Dr. Xue for her hardwork. The success of this operation is entirely due to the work of Dr. Xue. Let me introduce you to her. This is Dr. Xue…"
Before Dr. Zhang finished speaking, he felt a figure rush past him.
Almost at the same time, Xavier flashed past, running after the figure. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Hey, where is she?" Dr. Zhang turned his head around, but Zoey and Alice were nowhere to be seen.
