His face contorted in anger, “Long-tongued woman.”
Freya remained indifferent.
Her expression did not waver.
It seemed like she had seen through such people.
She did not want to stoop to the level of villains!
The dean was on the verge of collapsing from his son’s rude behavior.
Pointing at his son, he reprimanded, “Do you know, if it wasn’t for her insistence on performing the surgery on me, I would have been buried underground by now? She saved my life, yet you don’t thank her and even sue her? Who taught you to repay kindness with ingratitude?”
The dean’s son was not too pleased, “She didn’t follow the rules…”
“If she had followed the rules, would you be able to see your father?” the dean was furious.
Freya stood silently by, observing without intervening.
Dr. Culkin, fearing the dean’s health, intervened, “You’ve just woken up, it’s not good to be angry. It won’t help your recovery. Let’s talk calmly about this.”
He turned to the dean’s son, “I told your father about this. I thought you were wrong, so I took the initiative to inform your father. If you have any grievances, direct them at me, don’t keep targeting a woman.”
The dean’s son’s expression twitched, “So you’re all good people, and I’m the only bad one, is that it?”
“If you’ve done something wrong, admit it. Don’t act vain and blame others. Go to court now and withdraw the lawsuit, or don’t call me dad anymore.” The dean issued his final ultimatum.
Although the dean’s son was stubborn, he still listened to his father.
“Dad, I’ll do as you say. But please don’t be angry. Your health is important. Only me and our family truly care about you…”
“Stop it. It’s already a good thing if you’re not angry at me.” The dean didn’t want to hear any more. He waved his hand, dismissing his son.
The dean’s son left.
The dean was taken to the hospital room.
Dr. Culkin went back to work.
Freya remained alone in the hospital room.
The dean looked at her, silent for a while before asking, “Were you scared at that time? What you used on me, the experiment wasn’t even completed. If things went wrong, the responsibility on your shoulders would have been huge.”
Freya didn’t hide anything, “Honestly, I was fearless at that time. I felt saving lives was a duty, and I would do everything in my power, regardless of the method. Until I was sued by your son.”
She paused and continued, “Dean, I don’t blame your son. Through this incident, I’ve come to realize something. I might have been too idealistic, thinking I was noble, disregarding immense pressure to save lives, even going against the rules and acting based on my own thoughts. Now looking back calmly, my unwavering determination at that time was just my fervor. If everyone acted without following regulations, wouldn’t it lead to chaos?”
The dean chuckled, “Why do I feel like you regret saving me?”
Freya shook her head with a smile, “I don’t know if I could save you. I just did my best.”
“Do you know, for me, it means a lot?” the dean’s tone was heartfelt. “Thank you. By enduring the pressure and using the artificial heart developed by our research institute on me, my recovery serves as the best advertisement for us. Our years of dedication have finally paid off.”
His sacrifice saved his life.
He became the first person in the country to receive an artificial heart implant!
With him as an example, more people could accept and use it.
This way, more lives could be saved.
The news about the dean using an artificial heart spread, and reporters came to interview him that very day.
They all wanted the latest updates.
The dean was surrounded by them.
He looked healthy.
Freya left the hospital room with a relieved heart.
As she turned around, she saw someone approaching.
