Chapter - 114

“Emily, I have great news for you! The Divine Doctor’s currently at Merwin District! Hurry on over and pick him up!”

Emily replied, “Susan, I’ve already picked him up! He’s about to treat the patient right now!”

“Really? That’s great! I’ll head over immediately then!”

Susan knitted her eyebrows once she hung up the call.

How did they manage to pick him up when I have yet to introduce the Divine Doctor to them?

Forget about it! Let’s pay no heed to the details! I have to rush over as soon as possible!

Zeke looked at his phone after he looked at Emily’s phone. He couldn’t help but think to himself as he had his doubts.

Susan’s friends? Does that mean Emily and Madeleine are the friends Susan has been talking about all along?

What the hell! This is too dramatic!

George had already gotten everything in place by then.

He attached a pack of IV drip to Adam and injected thrombolytic agents into his body. Finally, a device used to improve the circulation of blood had been attached to Adam’s sole too.

Adam suffered from an ischemic stroke. Hence, George decided to deal with it through a conservative method.

In short, a blood clot had been formed in Adam’s brain. George would have to get rid of the said clot by either removing or unclogging it.

He reached for the scalpel and tried to pinpoint the blood clot through the aid of advanced medical equipment.

George was indeed a pioneer amongst Western doctors. He possessed sophisticated surgery skills.

As a matter of fact, it seemed as though things were about to get better as he went on.

Daniel finally felt a sense of relief. He perceived George would be able to save his father.

However, an accident occurred within five minutes.

The heart rate monitor produced an alarming sound as it started beeping nonstop.

Adam’s heartbeat decreased drastically. He would be in great danger; his heart might stop at any moment.

George got anxious as well. He tried his best to perform an aggressive resuscitation on Adam, but his effort was to no avail.

He was drenched in sweat when he could no longer keep his cool. He began to employ every single method known to him to save Adam.

However, once again, his effort was to no avail. Adam’s heartbeat only got weaker as time went by.

George had no choice but to give up because he would kill Adam if he didn’t stop in time.

He asked Madeleine, “Does the patient have any heart-related diseases?”

Madeleine’s mind was also all over the place. “I believe he has congenital heart disease!”

George got infuriated and yelled, “How dare you hide his actual condition from me? You have the bear the consequences of his death! I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do about it either. Please get rid of him on your own.”

WHAT!

Madeleine was dumbfounded by George’s words.

George can’t do anything about it either?

He must be kidding, right? If such a capable doctor isn’t able to save Adam, let alone someone like me!

Adam’s really on the verge of death!

It would be over for Madeleine if Adam were to die — in front of her clinic.

She was determined to deny her responsibilities due to the potential consequences in store.

Madeleine yelled in return, “You’re the incapable one! You can’t even save my patient! This has nothing to do with my clinic! You have to bear with the consequences of your actions!”

George rebutted Madeleine’s statement, “You’re the one who came to me. As a matter of fact, you’re the attending physician and the person in charge!”

Daniel shouted angrily with all his might, “Madeleine, George, I won’t let any one of you off the hook today! How dare you guys work together and toy with someone else’s life?”

Madeleine felt a tad bit of guilt and replied, “It has nothing to do with me! Susan’s the one who introduced George to treat Adam… That’s right! It’s Susan’s fault! Susan is the one to be blamed!”

Speaking of the devil, Susan showed up the moment Madeleine talked about her.

Susan took a peek at the heart rate monitor and got baffled all of a sudden. “What happened? What’s wrong with the patient?”

Emily tried to shift the blame onto Susan immediately. “Susan, how could you treat me in such a way? I’ve always thought of you as one of my best friends! What sort of doctor have you introduced to us? He can’t even save our patient! Are you trying to ruin the image of our clinic?”

Susan’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Zeke. “That’s impossible! Mr. Williams can bring a vegetative back to life with ease! I’m sure he can save a stroke patient easily as well!”

Emily and Madeleine were confused.

Why on earth is Susan staring at Zeke?

Mr. Williams? Does that mean she’s referring to…

Emily asked immediately, “Susan, does that mean George isn’t the doctor you were going to introduce us?”
