Chapter 88 She's a Trouble-Maker

Elena glanced at the patient on the bed. It was an urgent situation, and there was no time for further thoughts. For the patient, time was life.

"Alright! I'll help you!"

"Good. The patient's injuries are not severe. Just stitch them up, and everyone else should leave! Remember, don't let the patient's family members rush in."

In this situation, Elena remained calm. After all, she was just helping out and wouldn't cause any serious medical incidents.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Julia's gaze was cold.

"Fix the patient's thigh."

"Okay!" Elena glanced at the patient; they were already unconscious and had lost a lot of blood from their leg. They must have been injected with anesthesia.

Following Julia's instructions, Elena prepared everything that needed to be prepared.

Suddenly, Julia let out a low scream of pain.

Elena turned to look, seeing Julia clutching her handback in agony, blood staining her hands.

"What happened?"

"I accidentally cut my hand!"

"What should we do?"

According to the hospital's rules, if the surgeon's hand is injured, they are not allowed to continue performing surgery on the patient until the wound has healed.

"We don't have time. Stitch up this wound for me. It's just a small cut. Can you stitch it up?" Julia looked at her contemptuously.

Elena glanced at the wound; for her, stitching up a wound that was a few inches long was not difficult. But she wasn't a doctor, and this doesn't comply with the regulations...

"Why are you just standing there? The anesthesia is about to wear off." Julia urged.

"Alright, let me give it a try!" Elena said calmly.

A cold smile flashed in Julia's eyes as she handed her the suture needle. "I'll assist you. Just focus on the stitching."

This wasn't her first time stitching up wounds, so Elena wasn't afraid. Holding the needle, she smoothly stitched up...

As she only had a few stitches left, Elena inserted the needle...

Without grasping the skin, it suddenly snapped... Her heart skipped a beat. The surgical needle had actually broken inside the skin. She had never encountered such a situation before, and she panicked, looking up at Julia for help. "What should we do? The needle broke!"

"What did you do? Clumsy! How did you manage to break the needle? This is bad, it's a big problem," Julia scolded Elena impatiently.

Elena started sweating profusely.

"Don't just stand there, quickly cut open the thread on the wound and find the broken needle!" Even though Julia was anxious in her words, she remained motionless, only urging Elena.

Elena took the scalpel and went to cut open the suture thread on the wound, but suddenly she was pushed by some force, causing the sharp knife in her hand to pierce in. The patient screamed in pain.

Startled, Elena couldn't identify who pushed her and blood gushed out from the patient's thigh.

That cut must have severed a major artery!

Elena was terrified. If she couldn't stop the bleeding, the patient would die.

"Please, pass me the hemostatic forceps!" Elena said anxiously, but when she turned around, Julia had already disappeared.

She did it on purpose!

Elena suddenly realized she had fallen into a huge trap. She hurriedly held down the patient's leg.

In her panic, she searched for the hemostatic forceps, cursing under her breath. Where the hell did they go?

The more panicked she became; the harder it was to find things. The patient's loud cries for help further disturbed Elena's composure, making it impossible for her to stay calm.

Five minutes passed until Julia emerged from somewhere.

"Assistant, the patient is going into shock! What did you do? So much blood flowing and you didn't even use the hemostatic forceps. Are you insane?" Julia scolded incessantly, hurriedly using the forceps to stop the bleeding for the patient.

At this moment, Elena's face turned pale. She stared at the extra pair of forceps in Julia's hands, hating her to the core.

"What happened? How is the patient?"

At this moment, several surgeons arrived one after another. Elena quickly stepped aside.

"We need to perform a major surgery immediately. The patient's condition is not good!"

"Prepare to transfuse 400CC of blood..."

"The patient's leg artery is necrotic. High-level amputation is needed..."

"Reprepare immediately..."

Elena knew she had caused a great disaster. She stood silently on the sidelines, watching everyone bustling around, blaming herself inwardly.

"Don't stand here, go outside!" Julia pushed Elena out of the operating room. Elena wanted to argue a few words, but she realized it wasn't the time for that.

Everyone was busy saving the patient. Who would have time to listen to her?

She stood outside the operating room waiting, until it was past ten o'clock at night and the surgery still hadn't ended...

"Why aren't you off duty yet?"

A deep voice echoed. Hassan's tall figure walked briskly into the corridor. He saw Elena, her hands covered in blood, standing there with a blank expression. He quickened his pace, grabbed her cold hands, and said gently, "Let's go."

"What happened?"

At this moment, the patient's family was still waiting outside. Elena didn't dare to say much and turned to walk towards the exit.

It wasn't until she stepped out of the hospital that Elena finally stopped and looked at Hassan. In a low voice, she said, "I made a mistake."

"A mistake?" Hassan frowned slightly. "What kind of mistake?"

"I failed in the surgery, causing a patient to have an amputation!"

"Let's talk about it at home first!" Hassan lifted her up and walked briskly towards the car. He opened the door and put her inside.

"Don't think about anything else, things will eventually pass." Hassan's deep and sexy voice gave her great comfort.

Back at his house, he carried her directly into the bedroom.

In the luxurious bathtub, warm water infused with rose essential oil emitted a faint fragrance. Hassan helped her remove her restraints and then submerged her in the hot water.

"Don't think about anything, just relax!"

"Hassan, I feel guilty. The patient wouldn't have had an amputation if it weren't for me. It's all my fault. Why am I so stupid?"

Hassan gently massaged her shoulders, somewhat dissatisfied. "Are all the doctors in the hospital dead? How could an intern be the surgeon?"

"No, I volunteered for it! I might have been set up." Elena said in frustration.

"Set up? Who dares to set you up like this?" A cold light flashed in Hassan's eyes. Elena suddenly realized that she had let slip something she shouldn't have. Originally, it was just a minor matter between colleagues, and if Hassan knew about it, it wouldn't end well.

"No, forget it. It's just an unpleasant situation among colleagues. There's always some office politics in the workplace."

"Don't go tomorrow, rest well at home!"

"I can't just cancel it so easily. With something like this happening, if I don't go, others will think I've done something wrong and can't face it. That's not the case; I want to clear my name."

"You're such a determined woman! When this is over, I'll fire Dr. White and have you become my personal physician. I'll give you a million-dollar salary, how about that?" Hassan unbuttoned his shirt and whispered suggestively in her ear.

"Aren't you afraid I'll prescribe the wrong medicine for you?"

"As long as it's the medication you prescribe, I dare to take it!"

His handsome face, with his sexy eyes fixed on hers. His sexy long legs gradually immersed in the water, and his sexy chest pressed against her smooth back, while his hands roamed over her body.

Elena closed her eyes and slowly felt his passionate heat.

He lowered his head and kissed her snow-like shoulder. "Darling, you are so charming. Those women must be jealous to death."

From behind her, he slowly entered! The two gradually became one!

In the hazy heat, Elena temporarily let go of all her worries and slowly soared into a blissful cloud.

The next morning, Elena suddenly opened her eyes, and the bright sunlight streamed in through the window.

Elena turned to look at the alarm clock and realized that she had slept until nine o'clock!

"Noura!"

Noura pushed open the bedroom door and walked in from outside. "Good morning, Miss Walker! Anything you need?"

"Oh no, it's already nine o'clock. Why didn't you wake me up earlier? I still have to go to work."

"I thought Miss Walker had the day off today!" Noura apologized with a smile. In fact, Hassan had instructed her not to wake Elena up when he left in the morning.

In order to prevent them from arguing, Noura willingly took the blame upon herself.

Elena could hardly bear to think about it. This was terrible! How would those people view her now?

Elena quickly jumped out of bed, brushed her teeth and washed her face at the fastest speed possible. She then grabbed her bag and rushed out.

"Miss Walker, your breakfast!"

Noura followed after her, but Elena had already disappeared in a hurry.

Unexpectedly being late, William would definitely be angry. Now, she had given others a handle to hold against her. She wouldn't know how to face everyone in the future.

When Elena arrived at the entrance of the hospital, she saw a large group of people crowded together, engaged in a heated argument.

There were layers upon layers of onlookers, completely blocking the hospital's main entrance.

All the security guards had gathered at the entrance, desperately maintaining order.

"Heartless hospital!"

Some people held up signs and chanted slogans together, mocking and jeering, like swarms of flies.

"I'm sorry, everyone, please disperse. The hospital director is not here!" The security guards explained weakly, struggling to cope with the situation.

"Heartless hospital, pay for the lives!" The voices of the crowd grew louder and louder.

If this blockade continued, the hospital wouldn't be able to operate for the whole day, and patients wouldn't be able to come in. It would also have a severe impact, pushing the already tense doctor-patient relationship to its limit.

"Everyone, please make way..."

Elena tiptoed and squeezed herself inside. When the security guard saw Elena approaching, it was as if he had found a savior.

"Elena, you finally came. How should we handle this situation?" The security guard nodded at Elena.

Elena nodded back. "Let me handle it!"

With the security guard's protection, Elena made her way up the steps and waved her arms. "Please, everyone, quiet down. I am the assistant to the director. If you have any requests, send a representative to talk to me. Whatever you need, I will try my best to fulfill."

After Elena's call, the agitated crowd immediately quieted down, their eyes slowly turning to Elena.

Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you all for your cooperation. Now, please send a representative forward to tell me your demands!"

The crowd slowly dispersed, and an elderly woman with red, tearful eyes came forward.

"It's me. My son had an accident yesterday, only suffering minor leg injuries, but you incompetent doctors amputated his leg. How is he supposed to live now? You owe my son compensation... "
