"The surgery center experienced a sudden cardiac arrest, and we did everything we could to save him, but he didn't make it. The time of death was 11:20," Alondra replied with a heavy heart to Mrs. Ritter.
"He's dead? My husband is dead?" Mrs. Ritter's body slumped as she sat on the ground and couldn't get up.
"My dad is dead? Didn't you say before the surgery that it would definitely be successful? How did he die now?" Ashlyn rushed over, her sharp nails grabbing onto Alondra's arm. "You incompetent doctor!"
Alondra's mind was in chaos; she couldn't figure out why his heart had stopped beating. Where did things go wrong? But her surgical method was flawless! Everything was correct!
Why wasn't it effective?
She wasn't afraid of the Ritter family's anger; she was more afraid of what lay ahead for herself! The future was too terrifying - she would lose all her honors and become a doctor with a major medical accident.
No one would ever invite her to give lectures again, and she might even be expelled from the medical association!
The more she thought about it, the paler her face became.
What should she do?
If the Ritter family sued again, then at that time, she would be seen as a medical fraud...
She had killed patients on an operating table...
She closed her eyes.
Sylvia looked at Alondra's defeated expression and felt weighed down by it all.
Glancing at Mrs. Ritter and then Ashlyn, Sylvia said, "I'm not Mother Teresa; if I knew beforehand that Donovan needed surgery, I wouldn't have come here today. But since I'm already here, now let me take a look inside. If there's any chance of saving him, then I will try my best to do so."
"If there's no hope left," Sylvia continued speaking while Samuel helped prepare sterile clothing for her in preparation for entering into surgery room. "Then don't blame me because he wasn't under my care when he passed away."
With those words spoken aloud, Sylvia entered into Donovan's operating room which slammed shut behind them both with an audible thud, leaving everyone else outside, waiting anxiously for news or some sign of hopefulness from within its walls.
Alondra coldly stared at that door, feeling ridiculous. "What can this inexperienced girl do? She's only twenty-something years old - how can SHE bring back someone who has already died?"
As soon as these words were spoken aloud by Alondra, they seemed to awaken something inside Mrs. Ritter who suddenly lunged forward towards the door leading into Donovan's operating room while repeatedly pounding against its surface shouting out loud.
"Sylvia! You murderous bitch! My husband is already dead - why are you going in there just to humiliate him further? Open this damn door right now!"
Ashlyn also became furious after hearing these words from Alondra; Her previously lost look transformed into one filled with rage as well causing Ashlyn herself also began kicking against Donovan's operating room door shouting.
"All of you are garbage doctors! All liars AND cheats who have killed my father!"
The other relatives of the Ritter family were all discussing what they had just witnessed.
"Isn't that Sylvia girl too young? Wasn't she just playing around? Alondra couldn't do it, but she could?"
"I never thought Donovan would die so disgracefully."
"It's a shame he used to be such a big shot. I wonder how much longer the Ritter family can stay prosperous."
"I don't think Mrs. Ritter and Miss Ritter can handle it on their own."
"I heard Sylvia has some reputation in Larro and knows some medical skills. Why is she acting so arrogant here?"
Sabrina never expected Alondra to fail in surgery, let alone her involvement in it.
She looked at Alondra, who was standing there motionless with a dead face, and whispered softly, "Teacher, what should we do now?"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed through Alondra's heart. "Since Sylvia has come to us willingly, don't blame me for being impolite."
Sabrina was stunned. "What do you mean..."
"The patient died because of Sylvia's improper operation," Alondra sneered. "What does that have to do with us?"
Sabrina swallowed hard and looked at her incredulously. "But there are surgical records..."
Moreover, what if... what if Sylvia really had the ability to save the patient?
But she didn't dare say anything.
Her mind was also confused now as she shook her head vigorously - impossible! If even the teacher couldn't save him then how could Sylvia possibly bring him back? She must be out of her mind!
In the operating room where nurses and assistant physicians were already doing postoperative suturing work suddenly saw Samuel walking in with a young woman.
They were all startled.
"Dr. Samuel, who is this...?"
"Is this a relative of the patient or...?"
