Inside the office, the five interns stood in a row to meet their mentor’s reprimand.
“In the time it takes me to have a meeting, you almost got into trouble, you can’t even tell allergies from epilepsy, what have you been learning every day?!”
The intern who decided that the patient had a seizure and delayed treatment, and even more nearly aggravated her condition with the wrong medicine, hung her head low, tears welling up in her eyes, but had no face to defend herself, and could only quickly wipe away the tears and continue to endure the double scolding from her mentor and her heart.
After sitting on a chair and taking a sip of tea, the mentor’s anger dissipated and he waved his hand at Emma Rosy and said, “You’ve done well, go and see the patient, the rest of you go back and copy the first aid manual.”
One of the interns, who didn’t understand the situation, poked her head in and asked, “How many times do we copy that…?”
“Ten thousand times!!!”
The cup of water nearly fell out of his hand, and the mentor was so angry that he grabbed the lid of the cup and made a move to smash it on him.
The crowd saw this and cowered their necks and went out.
Emma Rosy came outside the ward and saw that the patient had woken up and was being tended to by her family for a drink of water, and could not help but smile.
On her way back to the office, she slowly lifted the corners of her lips as she walked.
She may not be able to reach the medical skills of her ancestors, let alone touch their great achievements, but as long as one person is taken back from death by her, as long as one person does not have to suffer anymore and can be happy again, that is the thing she is most proud of.
However, she did not know if Alex Brown could surprise her in the near future like today’s patient.
Tina Everard came to the ward early and set a nutritious breakfast on the table after her daily repetitive checkups.
“With surgery coming up, your diet must be strictly controlled these days, and you must wait for me to accompany you when you go for a walk, so you can’t make any mistakes.”
Tina Everard was pleased to see Alex Brown’ cooperation and was about to hint at her feelings when she received an icy glare right after she said a few words.
She was so pleased with herself that she immediately shut up and went back to her work as if nothing had happened.
On the other hand, after the argument, Paul Johnson did not hear from Marisa Darcyagain, and spent his days in the apartment, sometimes looking at the sky from sunrise to sunset before returning to his room.
As a result of his irregular life, his leg injury recurred.
Before he left, he remembered Tina Everard, who had helped him twice, and wanted to take this opportunity to thank her.
The last time he offered to take her to dinner, she didn’t agree, so she must be taking care of her family in the hospital, so this time Paul Johnson bought a few boxes of tonic to give her as a token of his appreciation.
The previous encounter was a chance encounter, but now it was difficult to find someone.
The hospital refused to disclose the patient’s information, so Paul Johnson searched several floors alone, but to no avail, and his leg injury began to hurt again.
But he didn’t expect to see Tina Everard when he passed by the hospital garden.
“Miss Everard…”
He just opened his mouth, but found that the man beside Tina Everard looked very familiar.
If he was not mistaken, the man with Tina Everard was none other than Alex Brown, whom Marisa Darcycould not see by all means!
But how do they know each other and what is Tina Everard’s identity? Was helping him an unintentional act, or was it a premeditated one?
Unable to confirm these questions in a short time, Paul Johnson had to leave and plan again.
As the night wore on, the wall sconces in the hallway gave off an eerie glow, and footsteps approached slowly.
Alex Brown did not move, said in a quiet voice: “Do not turn on the light.”
“Why aren’t you asleep?” Tina Everard approached with a reproachful look on her face: “What time is it and you’re still sitting here? You promised me this morning that you would cooperate with the treatment, and you’ve forgotten?”
“The moon is extraordinarily full tonight.”
Tina Everard understood that he was homesick. To be more precise, he was thinking of Emma Rosy and Keira at home.
After a long silence, he turned back and handed over the phone.
“Can you get through for me?”
“What do you mean?” Tina Everard raised her eyebrows in displeasure: “If you want to contact Emma Rosy, you can do it yourself, why are you begging me?”
Alex Brown wanted to hear Emma Rosy’s voice in person and speak tenderly to her, but if he did, he was afraid he would lose everything.
He couldn’t give Emma Rosy any hope until the operation was successful.
Knowing Alex Brown’ concerns, Tina Everard finally looked satisfied. Relieved that Alex Brown didn’t seem as attached to Emma Rosy as he once was, she casually encouraged him, “Okay, I can make that phone call for you, but you have to cooperate with your treatment in the future. You can’t be with your family until you’re healed, don’t you think?”
Alex Brown didn’t answer, his arm still raised in the air.
Tina Everard exhaled helplessly, took the phone, dialed it and it was quickly answered.
“Alex?” Emma Rosy speaks with some urgency, as if she can’t believe she’s getting a call from Alex Brown.
Tina Everard glanced at the person next to her, received a gaze gesture, and faintly denied: “I didn’t have your number, so I used his phone.”
At that, the light in Emma Rosy’s eyes quickly dimmed, her attitude still warm: “So… then Dr. Everard, what did you want to see me about, and how is Alex’s condition? The surgery is about…”
“He’s fine, and without incident, the surgery will take place this week.”
After answering Emma Rosy’s question, Tina Everard couldn’t stand the hot gaze on her, so she asked, “Are you and Keira okay too?”
Emma Rosy froze, surprised that Tina Everard cared about their lives, and before she could respond, the door to the duty room was violently thrown open.
“Dr. Richard, quick! There’s been a series of car accidents downtown, over twenty injured people are being brought in, and the mentor wants you to go to the emergency room!”
That’s the way it is in emergency medicine, on-call during business hours, no slacking off allowed.
Emma Rosy reflexively dropped her phone and ran for the door while shouting, “I’m going to the emergency room, I’ll talk to you later!”
“So this is what Emma looks like when she’s at work.”
Alex Brown laughed silently before getting up propped up against the wall and walking back to the hospital bed, muttering to himself, “It’s good to be busy, a full and meaningful life, she should enjoy it.”
“I’m ready to rest, you should go back too.” Alex Brown lay back down in bed.
Tina Everard tossed his phone onto the couch and turned angrily before she heard him ask, “What day is it?”
With a pause in her step, she said negatively, “Friday!”
Only after she left the hospital room did she realize why he had asked that question.
Randall Harrah had been back every weekend to visit him since he had returned home to take care of company business, and now that his surgery was so close, Randall Harrah would be staying a few more days.
As Alex Brown and Tina Everard expected, Randall Harrah is now in the airport lobby, waiting to board his flight.
Randall Harrah, who has limited legs and did not buy a first or business class ticket, was standing at the end of the line during security check. He spotted Marisa Miller!
Rubbing his eyes, fearing that he was mistaken, he saw the figure turn the corner and disappear, and did not hesitate to go after it.
During this period of time, he had arranged bodyguards outside Alex Brown’ ward, not afraid that Marisa Darcywould take advantage of the situation, but he never thought that she would abandon Alex Brown and secretly return to her country. In case the person just now was really her, then Emma Rosy, he was afraid she would fall into danger again.
City Hospital.
A large car accident causes the medical staff, including Emma Rosy, to work overtime for several days, and since the other interns are inexperienced, she takes on more work than she can handle.
After checking the rooms, her supervisor finally let her take an early lunch break.
She was able to have a warm lunch today, but when she walked out of the emergency room with great enthusiasm, she lost her appetite. Suddenly relaxed, now she could only get a good night’s sleep, as for lunch… or order take-out.
So she turned on her toes and walked towards the lounge.
The hospital beds are already tight, and after the crash, many of the injured had nowhere to be placed, and only temporary beds had to be set up in the corridors. The road was narrow and crowded with pedestrians, and it was hard to get close to the lounge, but her feet tripped over a bed support, and her brain was too muddled to react, and her body had lunged forward –
“Watch out!”
A strong arm encircled her waist, and she grabbed it firmly in panic, only to look up at her “savior” when she regained her footing.
“Mr. Clarke?” She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she pressed her hands against her beating heart: “I was scared to death. If it wasn’t for you, I would have been hospitalized with injuries.”
After her heart calmed down, she inquired, “Eh, why are you here?”
Kenny Clarke laughed helplessly, “The hospital is too busy and understaffed, so I was just transferred from surgery to help out.”
They chatted as they entered the lounge.
“You’ve been assigned to the emergency room this time?”
“Yeah.” Emma Rosy took two cups of warm water and handed one to Kenny Clarke: “Emergency medicine is a great way to practice general skills, and although it’s a bit busy, I like it. By the way Clarke senior, when did you… come back?”
After the scandal, she and Kenny Clarke were suspended together, and then Marisa Darcywas secretly murdered, Keira and Alex Brown had successive accidents, and after the suspension was lifted, she was always on leave and had no time to inquire about Kenny Clarke’s news.
Kenny Clarke gave a reassuring look: “After three days of rest at home, the hospital notified me of my reinstatement, thanks to you and Master Wright.”
After talking about Kenny Clarke, the conversation gradually shifted to Emma Rosy, who did not hide what she had experienced some time ago out of guilt.
He learned that Alex Brown was seriously ill, and Kenny Clarke said with an apologetic face, “Why didn’t you contact me when you were in such a dangerous situation? Although those cases I can not help, but Mr. Brown’s condition, perhaps I can help.”
Not wanting to mention Alex Brown again, Emma Rosy changed the subject and asked about some minor problems encountered in first aid.
Sensing her intentions, Kenny Clarke did not insist, and They were talking when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Charles Taylor stood in the doorway, eyeing Kenny Clarke warily, until Emma Rosy warned him, then stepped closer and handed over the thermos in his hand.
“Eva says you’ve been too busy to eat these days, that’s not good.” When facing Emma Rosy, he unconsciously softened his tone: “There are rice and vegetables in it, and also a rib soup, you’d better eat them all.”
Her stomach growls and she smiles embarrassedly, inviting the other two to join her.
Kenny Clarke naturally declined, and Charles Taylor said meaningfully, “It’s for you, so of course you should eat it alone. I have a dinner party this afternoon, so don’t worry.”
At that, Kenny Clarke’s eyes fell on Charles Taylor again.
He was certain that today was the first time They had met, but perhaps with the same expectations in mind, so there was a vague animosity between them.
Emma Rosy also heard the difference, “I’m actually okay, everyone is busy. I don’t think you’ve had lunch either, have you?”
Before Kenny Clarke could say anything, Charles Taylor said, “Lunch break, isn’t it for eating?”
The implication was that Kenny Clarke had come to Emma Rosy’s place instead of eating during his lunch break, and his thoughts were evident.
Kenny Clarke’s courtesy also has a limit, see the situation lightly laughed: “originally intended to invite Emma to go out to eat, but who knows chatting too involved, actually forgot about this matter, indeed my fault.”
This is to imply that he and Emma Rosy have a common language and get along very well?
Charles Taylor’s face sank and a cloud appeared to gather in his eyes.
Emma Rosy picked up a piece of fish, but did not dare to put it in her mouth, small eyes darted between They, do not know what else to say to ease the atmosphere.
Fortunately, a savior arrived!
Keira hadn’t seen her mom for a few days and didn’t even eat, so she begged Joe Wright and Eva Taylor to bring her to her mom.
Emma Rosy misses her too, so she lets Keira cling to her arms like candy and feeds her lovingly.
Unfortunately, reunions are always short-lived. No sooner had mother and daughter gotten close than Kenny Clarke received a call from the nurse on duty.
“What? Okay, we’ll be right there!”
After closing the line, Kenny Clarke happened to meet Emma Rosy’s gloomy gaze and said eagerly, “The patient in bed seventeen died suddenly, you…”
“The one my mentor and I operated on and resuscitated an hour ago?!” Not waiting for him to finish, Emma Rosy had already carried Keira to Joe Wright and quickly put on the white coat: “He was fifty-five years old, and had a heart stent, and had gone into shock several times when he was brought in.”
Kenny Clarke, who had just been transferred to the emergency room and didn’t know much about the situation, asked as he walked away, “Also a car accident victim?”
“Yes. It was because of the unstable vitals that the instructor purposely delayed the surgery, not realizing that…”
Until rushing out of the lounge side by side, They were still nervously analyzing their condition, and the rest clearly realized that at this moment, they were only in the same world, and everything outside was isolated.
They were that silent, and he, just an outsider.
From the moment he entered, Joe Wright sensed that Charles Taylor was different from his usual self and let Eva Taylor hold his daughter, he sighed inaudibly: “For Eva’s sake, let me give you some inside information. That person’s name is Kenny Clarke, the hospital’s attending physician, and Emma’s senior.”
At a young age, he was promoted to attending physician, so he must be quite capable, but…
He saw Charles Taylor frown, Joe Wright explained again.
“They seem to have met in a medical program, as I understand it, while Emma was still in college before she got married.”
Thinking about this, Charles Taylor, however, does not feel confident.
Eva Taylor, who knows her big brother best, saw him fall into silence after hearing Kenny Clarke’s experience, and slyly teased, “What? Mr. Taylor has low self-esteem because of his age? Or are you afraid of losing to others too humiliating and consider giving up?”
“No.”
Charles Taylor blurted out.
Where he decided to do, even if there is only a slight chance, even if the road ahead is a dead end, but also will be determined to go on.
“That’s my big brother!” Eva Taylor supports this.
Joe Wright pulled out a paper towel and wiped the soup off the corner of Keira’s mouth without commenting.
