Chapter 5 Deterioration
However, Vanessa's face that had finally become ruddy, turned pale again as soon as Dr. Tse laid her body flat on the bed. Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and her beautiful face grimaced in pain. "Ah!" The nurse, who was helping Dr. Tse, exclaimed in shock.
Maxwell immediately turned around when he heard the loud scream. His expression changed dramatically upon seeing what had happened to his granddaughter. He shouted at Dr. Tse, "What's going on?" "I... I don't know either!" Dr. Tse panicked. He quickly waved his hands and retreated.
"Wasn't the operation done by you? How could you not know?" Maxwell shouted while trying to feel his granddaughter's pulse.
Dr. Tse was anxious and afraid, and he didn't know how to reply. Someone finally confessed, "The operation was not done by Dr. Tse at all. In fact, he just arrived at the hospital not long ago."
Upon hearing that, Maxwell almost exploded with anger. He clenched his fists tightly while glaring at Dr. Tse with flaming eyes.
After examining Vanessa's condition, Maxwell found that the internal bleeding had worsened. The extravasated blood was compressing her nerves. She was in a critical situation, and she required treatment immediately. Otherwise, she would suffer from complications such as cognitive impairment and delirium, even if her life could be saved.
Maxwell was so furious that he wished to skin Dr. Tse alive. He tried his best to calm himself down as he asked in a hurry, "Who was the one who performed the operation?"
Someone said, "Zachary Ching!"
"Where is he? I'll go and ask him for help," Maxwell replied instantly.
"He is just an intern. After being scolded by Young Master Huang, he was fired by Dr. Tse."
"What?" Maxwell glared at Dr. Tse and Fabian.
"Which school is he from? I'll go find him," Maxwell said in a hurry.
"I'll go too," Fabian approached, trying to make up for what he had done.
"He's from Ludington Medical College!" Someone said, "Hold on. Perhaps he hasn't left yet. He might still be packing his luggage in the dormitory."
"Take me there!" Maxwell replied in a panic.
"Master Sue, let me go with you," Fabian said hurriedly.
Although Maxwell was dissatisfied with Fabian, he nodded after looking at his granddaughter who was lying on the bed.
One of the doctors pointed out the direction to the dormitory. Fabian walked out of the clinical department quickly, heading towards a small building in the corner of the hospital. He saw Zachary carrying a small suitcase, preparing to leave from the main entrance of the dormitory. Upon seeing him, Fabian shouted, "Stop!"
Zachary looked back and saw Fabian. Then, he quickened his pace and walked away without saying anything.
Indignation rose in Fabian's chest. He raised his voice and shouted at Zachary, "I said stop! Do you hear me?"
Zachary's face darkened at Fabian's tone. He replied coldly, "Why are you here?"
"Come back to the hospital with me now!" Fabian was about to grab Zachary's arm.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Zachary dodged it and mocked him instead, "Young Master Huang, weren't you unwilling to see me again? I don't want to end up in prison for the rest of my life." "You..." Seeing that Zachary was about to leave, Fabian huffed, "Tell me, how much money do you want?"

"Money?" Zachary repeated the word unhappily. How could he monetize a life? "Well, go ahead and buy a life with that money if you think it is possible!"
"What is with that attitude of yours? Do you know how influential I am in Ludington City? You should be glad that I am personally asking you to go back to the hospital!" Fabian yelled. Zachary laughed coldly, "Oh, really? Fabian, I'm just an ordinary citizen. I don't deserve such respect from you! Please seek help from someone else."
Fabian lost his temper, "Don't you dare to be ungrateful! Believe it or not, I'll end your career. I'll stop you from graduating. I'll..."
"Are you threatening me?" Zachary's tone turned ice-cold..
"You'd better follow me back to the hospital. Or else, I'll make you suffer. I'll give you three seconds." Fabian said menacingly. "Fabian, shut up!"
An angry shout was heard from behind Fabian. He turned around and saw Master Sue running over. Master Sue glared at Fabian and then quickly walked over to Zachary. He pleaded with an anxious look on his face, "Dr. Ching, please save my granddaughter."
"Master Sue, he is just an intern. You don't have to be so polite to him," Fabian muttered.
Master Sue didn't like playboys like Fabian at all. He didn't expect that Fabian would still try to pressure the doctor with money and power in such a situation. "Shut up now!" He scolded.
Then, he grabbed Zachary's hand and pleaded, "Dr. Ching, it was our fault just now. Vanessa is dying, please save her. I'll kneel down and beg you."
After saying that, Master Sue was about to get down on his knees in front of Zachary.
Zachary had only been dissatisfied with Fabian's arrogant attitude. Looking at Maxwell who had tears all over his face, Zachary couldn't bear to reject him. Moreover, Vanessa was his classmate, and Maxwell was the chancellor of Ludington Medical College.

"Master Sue, please get up. I'll go back to the hospital with you," Zachary quickly helped the old man up. Then, he asked, "What's going on?"
"There's internal bleeding in the brain again. The extravasated blood is compressing on the nerves. She is in a critical situation now," Master Sue explained quickly.
Upon hearing that, Zachary looked serious. He put down his suitcase and quickened his pace, saying, "Didn't I tell them that the patient should be kept in the current posture? They shouldn't have moved the patient at all." Master Sue hadn't expected that at all. He became even more furious when he thought of what Dr. Tse had done, and he then told Zachary what had happened.
Zachary was burning with rage upon finding out about the incident. He had thought that Dr. Tse was just a coward who was afraid of taking responsibility. However, he didn't expect that Dr. Tse would be so selfish that he would neglect the patient's life for the sake of his reputation.
Zachary rushed to the operating room. At that moment, Vanessa's face was pale and covered with sweat. She had even spat out a pool of blood.
At that sight, Zachary and Master Sue's expressions changed dramatically. Zachary shouted loudly, "What's going on? Why is the patient vomiting blood?"
"Uh..." A nurse stammered.
"Tell me!" Zachary glared at her. The nurse felt oppressed by his demeanour.
"Dr. Tse was worried that the patient's condition would deteriorate. So, he administered some antihypertensive medication to reduce the blood pressure, hoping to reduce the internal bleeding. Unexpectedly, the patient vomited blood as soon as the medication was given," the nurse replied. She was sweating profusely.
"What! How could he administer antihypertensive medicine when the internal bleeding in the brain has yet to be dealt with? Doesn't Dr. Tse know this?" Zachary shouted angrily.
Meanwhile, Dr. Tse, who had just come in with another pile of medicine, felt his legs lose their strength when he laid eyes on Maxwell's grim expression.
