Chapter 327
"I'm tellin' ya, if anything happens to my wife, you're gonna regret it!" The guy's voice got louder, and Elizabeth could hear it clear as day.
Amanda rushed over, hearing the ruckus, and asked, "What's the deal?"
"Ms. Carter, thank God you're here!" The patient's family member grabbed Amanda's arm. "My wife's in bad shape!"
"Why's everyone out here? Who's inside?" Amanda saw someone inside and glanced at Laura and Sunny.
"Dr. Percy," Sunny whispered.
Amanda frowned and wondered. 'This is nuts; how could they leave Elizabeth alone in there?'
"What are the symptoms?" Amanda slapped on a mask and was about to push the door open.
Just then, the ward door swung open.
Elizabeth strolled out.
"All good," Elizabeth said to Amanda.
Amanda was floored.
Laura didn't buy it. She rushed in and saw all the monitors showing normal readings.
The person who was knocking on death's door just moments ago now had all their vitals back to normal.
How did Elizabeth pull that off?
Laura turned to look at Elizabeth, who had her hands in her pockets, looking as chill as ever.
In a cardiac arrest, you gotta hit 'em with epinephrine fast.
After the resuscitation, Elizabeth threw in a bit of her own magic, and the patient bounced back quick.
Laura froze.
Amanda double-checked. Yep, no issues.
"You," the patient's family member pointed at Elizabeth and then looked inside.
His wife was fine, and she even looked better.
Amanda raised an eyebrow and smirked inwardly.
"As long as everything's cool." With that, Amanda left the ward and shot a glance at Elizabeth. "Don't let this happen again."
This was her patient; Elizabeth couldn't just barge in like that.
If something went south, who'd take the fall?
Elizabeth nodded like a good kid and then smiled apologetically. "Sorry, Ms. Carter. I was just too worked up."
"But you nailed it," Amanda said to Elizabeth, her face showing a proud smile.
Looked like Elizabeth was just as awesome as Mark had said.
Amanda and Elizabeth walked off side by side.
Laura stood at the door, frowning as she watched Amanda and Elizabeth's backs, her face all twisted up.
"Dr. Percy is really something else," Sunny said, looking shocked.
"Dr. Percy even handled stuff you couldn't," Sunny shook her head, totally amazed.
Laura's face darkened.
Sunny pouted and muttered, "Guess it's still up in the air who's gonna be the deputy director."
Hearing this, Laura got even more ticked off. But she didn't say a word and just walked away.
Seeing Laura leave, Sunny called out, "Dr. Dixon."
Laura quickly headed back to the office.
As soon as she walked in, a few people joked, "The deputy director is back!"
"Cut it out," Laura said as she plopped down in her seat.
Everyone chuckled, "What's there to joke about? With Mark gone, the deputy director spot is all yours!"
Laura flipped through some papers. Hearing their words, she thought of what Sunny had just said and felt uneasy.
She clenched the papers tightly and then slammed them shut.
She thought anxiously, 'I've waited years for this shot; is it really slipping away?'
