It would take at least half a day to get back to the capital from the township. If the patient’s life was in danger, even if Emma Rosy left immediately, it would be too late.
Hope had just gone through a big change and needed the company and comfort of her family, so how could she, as a mother, leave?
After a moment’s hesitation, she politely declined, ” Chief Nurse, please transfer the patient to the tutor.
The head nurse knew she had been busy lately, so she didn’t insist: “Then you have a good time, I’ll arrange things here.”
Hanging up the phone and finding Hope and Keira looking at her, she put the phone away and looked relieved and reassured, “Let’s keep playing, it’s okay.”
The trip didn’t have to be cancelled in the middle of the day, and Keira, who had been on tenterhooks the second before, was instantly relieved and looked happy as can be.
Hope, however, grabbed the hem of her shirt and unconsciously kneaded it: “Mom, can we go home? I saw your ID card on the table last night and secretly took it… to book a ticket.”
Fearing Emma Rosy’s misunderstanding, she hurriedly explained, “I know you and Keira are thinking of me and are afraid I’ll be in a bad mood, but I’ve grown up and should learn to regulate my emotions. You’ve already been with me for two days, delaying work and school, and it’s only going to be really hard for me if this continues.”
Emma Rosy has never gotten along with a twelve-year-old before, only remembering that when she was a teenager, she was still a little girl who knew nothing, spoiled by her father and the family and friends around her with a bad temper, not knowing how to think for others.
Hope, on the other hand, has endured so much at such a young age, and she is so sweet to know how to behave, but she is always worried about being hated for her mistakes.
Emma Rosy can’t bear to discourage her good intentions, full of guilt to Keira promised to bring them out to play more often in the future.
Maybe it was Hope’s influence, Keira actually did not have any resentment, but took Hope’s hand, smiling and saying that they would come back next time.
The long-distance bus was even more crowded than when she arrived, and Emma Rosy was not convenient with the children, so she chose the first row of seats, just in front of the TV, when the journey is boring, you can also watch the program to pass the time.
But she never expected to see Brown Group on the financial news again!
“Following a project that fell through a few days ago, Brown Group suffered another important project passing away at around nine o’clock this morning, according to sources familiar with the matter, Brown Group is facing a huge financial crisis…”
Emma Rosy slightly tilted her head, staring blankly at the screen that jumped to the advertisement, her mind was already detached from her body.
The Brown Group has been in trouble one after another, why didn’t Alex Brown want to take countermeasures and let it go on? And Eric Chan, why didn’t he come back to help?
Could it be that Alex Brown has become so sick that… can’t even take care of the company?
Emma Rosy clutched her cell phone, her arm trembling.
Keira also saw the Brown Group message, see the situation pick her hand begging: “I also miss Dad, we have been separated for so long, occasionally a phone call is okay, right?”
She looked up Alex Brown’ number and stared at it for a long time, but ruthlessly flipped it over, looking for Tina Everard’s name on the back.
She didn’t want to break her promise to Alex Brown again, so contacting Tina Everard was the best option.
The ringing was coming to an end before the phone was answered, and the silence on the other end made Emma Rosy panic.
“Dr. Everard, is that you? I just saw Alex’s company on TV, does he know about it? How is he doing now…?”
After a long silence, Tina Everard spoke hesitantly, “Fine.”
“‘What does that mean?”
Emma Rosy did not understand, always felt that she had something to hide, so eagerly pursued: “Does he still have headaches? When you told me earlier that the surgery was coming up, what was the exact date? I know he probably doesn’t want to contact me, but at least meet the kids, Keira is at…”
“The surgery failed.” Tina Everard took a deep breath, unable to hold back a sob: “The bruising in the blood vessels was worse than expected and the doctors had to abort the operation.”
Aborting the surgery meant it didn’t work… What about Alex Brown?
“He’s… he’s alive, right?”
Emma Rosy pressed the phone so tightly to her ear that she forgot to even breathe.
After receiving an affirmative answer, she quickly hung up the phone, not daring to ask one more word.
It is good to be alive, as long as he is alive, there is Hope. Even if his condition worsens or the rest of his life is shortened, at least he is still living in this world today.
Emma Rosy turned her head, afraid Keira would find the tears in her eyes, but Keira already knew when she asked about Alex Brown’ condition.
The Wright Family driver, who had been waiting for her, handed Emma Rosy a key, and then invited Keira and Hope into the other car.
As They cars drove backwards, Keira finally jumped into Hope’s arms and burst into tears.
“Sister will always be there for you.” She tenderly hugged Keira, softly comforted: “Everyone will have to grow old and die one day, just like my grandmother, even if I can not let go, but also can not fight with fate. And your Alex dad is still alive, maybe the next surgery will be successful, and then come to accompany you.”
“But Daddy is sick… he’s also very sick, what if he doesn’t come back…” Keira choked helplessly, tears and snot flowing all over her face, her wretched appearance pitiful to the extreme.
Hope is still holding her comfortably, allowing her new clothes to be soiled, like an adult coaxing a child, over and over again in the back of her head caress: “You still have me ah. I’m only a few years older than you, so I can stay with you for a long time, watch you grow up, study, fall in love and get married, and no matter what happens, as long as you turn around, I’ll always be behind you.”
After saying that, she cupped Keira’s face and tried to smile warmly, “So don’t be afraid, live bravely, just like my name, and be hopeful for the future, okay?”
Hope did this not only to return the favor, but also because Keira was her own sister.
When They children arrived at the Wright Family, Master Wright was already waiting at the door with his crutches, and when he saw the shadow of the car from afar, he instructed the housekeeper to have the kitchen speed up, as his great-grandchildren were hungry.
The housekeeper responded and hurried into the villa, but in his heart he couldn’t help but mutter: when the young lady wanted to adopt Hope, the master was still obstructive and reasoned with the facts, but now he does like Hope very much.
In fact, Master Wright’s change, Hope can also feel it.
She remembers that when she first moved into the old house, the three meals a day were the most torturous moments for her. She didn’t dare to speak or move around, and she had to choose for a long time before each dish, afraid that she wouldn’t be used to using ivory chopsticks and would be lectured for dropping her food.
Gradually, however, she found that Master Wright seemed to be very approachable and never put up a fight in the house.
The relationship between people is very delicate, and when she tries to approach Master Wright, he is impressed by her good behavior and understanding, and although Keira’s position is unshakable, he treats her as his great-grandchild.
Sitting around the dinner table, young and old, Master Wright asked Keira and Hope about their experiences over the past few days, saying that they were worried about them catching a cold because of the recent severe cooling.
“We’re super dressed, we’re not cold at all.” Keira absentmindedly picks at her meal, her mind still on Alex Brown.
“Thank you, great-grandfather, you’ve been so kind to us.” Hope thanked him somewhat coyly.
On the other hand, Emma Rosy, who had returned to the hospital, had no time to spend on her injuries.
Knowing that her mentor was operating on a patient instead of herself, she wanted to go to the monitoring table to observe, but the nurse on duty called the intercom in a hurry, saying that one of her mentor’s patients was critically ill and had fallen into a coma a few minutes ago.
During her time in the emergency department, running had become an instinctive response, and Emma Rosy dashed into the room to check the patient’s vital signs.
The middle-aged man lying in the hospital bed looked familiar and she recognized him immediately.
The middle-aged man had been admitted to the emergency room with chest discomfort, and it was only after taking a radiograph that a benign tumor was found six centimeters from his heart.
The oncologist was not enough to confirm that the tumor was benign, so he left the person in the emergency room and handed over to the mentor for further treatment, but who knew that the tumor would expand and compress the blood vessels in the lungs before the finalized surgery date.
“We must operate immediately!” Emma Rosy concluded, and then asked the nurse next to her, “What did the mentor say?”
The young nurse had just started working and had never encountered such a situation before, so she was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes: “No one is answering… the doctor is still on the operating table, the phone must be in the cabinet, I can’t get through…”
“Where is the internal line? And the monitoring station radio, have contacted?”
As they spoke, other interns rushed in, and the ward was a noisy, chaotic mess.
Emma Rosy steadied herself and asked the nurse to contact the oncologist.
To her surprise, the oncologists on duty were also in surgery.
The patient was already showing signs of shock, and if he did not operate soon, he would only die. Emma Rosy was desperate and had no choice but to take the plunge.
“Prepare for surgery, I will operate!”
When she said this, there was a lot of opposition.
The interns accused her of being too impulsive, while They who were close to her advised her not to do anything foolish, in case the operation was dangerous, no one would remember her well and she would be made to take full responsibility.
As she swept her eyes across the faces of her colleagues, they were all excited, not for the sake of saving lives as they had been promised when they studied medicine, but for fear of harming themselves.
Even if Emma Rosy wanted to operate, she had to be assisted by an assistant and a nurse, so they would rather watch the patient die than risk saving him.
The scene was stagnant when the head nurse made a phone call and communicated with the other side for a moment, then nodded to Emma Rosy: “There is an intern in oncology who just finished a primary surgery with you and is willing to help.
Emma Rosy looked happy, but if she left, who would do the patient’s preoperative preparation?
When she hesitated, the head nurse frowned and complained, “Are you the only one in the hospital with hands and feet? Just go about your business, leave this to me!”
Again, she was always extra reassured whenever she heard the head nurse say this.
“Okay, I’m going!”
” Mentor, something’s wrong!”
The emergency department mentor had just come out of the operating room when he was surrounded by several interns.
“Where is she?” The mentor’s face was grave, and his eyes were vaguely stern: “Who gave her the courage!”
“We advised her to do the same, but she didn’t listen.”
“What should we do now, mentor? How about you go help her…”
Even if they don’t say, the mentor has already hurried towards the monitoring station, suddenly realized what, quickly looked around the students.
“Who’s giving her a second hand?”
The interns looked at each other, and finally a bold one told the truth: “A… intern from the oncology department.”
The mentor had just crossed into the surgical monitoring room and sniffed his footsteps, he then shook his head and violently threw the door with his backhand.
They are also interns, Emma Rosy can do, dare to do, why they stand by and watch?
He knew Emma Rosy very well, and if it wasn’t a critical situation, she wouldn’t have risked the surgery. Rules and regulations are important, but when it comes to life, everything has to wait.
Disappointed, but with some admiration for Emma Rosy, he hurriedly communicated with the duty officer and began to watch the internal monitoring of the operating room.
At that moment, Emma Rosy, who had successfully opened the patient’s chest and separated the tumor, suddenly made a mistake.
When the nurse handed over the scissors, she accidentally hit her elbow, and even though she was concentrating on controlling the movement of her hand, there was still a slight vibration.
The blood vessel on the side of the tumor was cut and blood gurgled out, and the clear shape of the tumor was immediately covered with blood, and the nurse was startled and exclaimed.
“Quiet!”
The assistant reprimanded in a lowered voice and raised her eyes to Emma Rosy: “Can you find the blood vessel?”
Emergency medicine doctors have more comprehensive expertise and should be more experienced than specialists in dealing with heavy bleeding during surgery.
Emma Rosy turned her head sideways, allowing the nurse to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead, and after taking a deep breath, said in a firm tone, “I’ll do it.”
That said, her hands trembled uncontrollably as she used the device to aspirate blood from around the tumor to check the situation.
–The lung lobe vein had been punctured, and there was a 100 percent chance of hemorrhage.
The voice of her supervisor suddenly came over the radio, and Emma Rosy was overwhelmed with joy and reassured.
The condition of the wound also just came into view, and it was indeed as the mentor had said, a ruptured vein causing hemorrhage.
“Blood transfusion, assistant to clean the blood at the wound, I…” under the mask, dry lips slowly opened and closed, as if waiting for the instructor’s approval: “Continue to remove the tumor.”
Inside and outside the screen, like a live-action class, the instructor occasionally spoke up at key moments to give guidance, Emma Rosy regained her confidence and completed the removal of the tumor as well as the suturing within an hour.
When the patient was wheeled away, the shadowless lights went out, and the nurses were neatly organizing the equipment, she tried to take a step, only to find that her legs were weak and she could not exert any strength.
Seeing that she was leaning against the table, the nurse next to her asked with a smile, “You must have been scared just now. But Dr. Richard, you’re really something!”
“… is it?”
Emma Rosy pulled down the mask and used all her strength to reveal an ugly smile, before turning around and walking step by step towards the door.
The responsibility behind the sacredness weighs heavily on the shoulders of everyone who is named “doctor”, but they are willing to accept it.
The mentor had been waiting outside the operating room, and when he saw her come out, he lectured in a stern voice: “Do you know you’re wrong to operate on your own and disobey the advice?”
“I’m sorry…” she hung her head, willing to accept any punishment.
After a short silence, “Your first time in charge of the surgery, the operation was successful, this month more bonus.” The mentor threw down the words and turned around to leave in style.
Emma Rosy was stunned and followed in disbelief.
They of them walked along the corridor, and under the gradually darkening night, only the white corners of their clothes were flying, which were particularly dazzling.
But the relief was short-lived.
The patient’s family learned that the patient may have various sequelae after the surgery, convinced that something went wrong during the surgery, directly pulled the mentor and Emma Rosy who went to explain the situation outside the ward, forcing them to give an explanation.
“He was fine when he came in, how come he has some kind of after-effects after letting you guys operate? You must make it clear or I will sue you in court!”
The patient’s mother had a high voice and was making a lot of noise.
Emma Rosy stood in the middle and helped her mentor to relieve the situation. The nurse behind her couldn’t stand it and choked out, “Can you please be more conscientious? Your son wasn’t well when he arrived, and if the doctor hadn’t made a prompt decision, you wouldn’t have had a chance to be here now!”
“How do you talk?”
Seeing his mother being lectured, her older son next to her got anxious and raised his slap to make a move, and after being stopped by someone passing by, he pointed at the doctor and nurse and cursed, “Look, causing my brother to get sequelae, and still dare to scold my mother?!”
