"Miss Ren, this is not your fault. We all know that you and Miss Yu work very hard to take good of Adrian. We won't blame you. So, please don't blame yourself," Mandy said to the teacher, forcing a smile on her face. She could see the color returning to the teacher's pale face.
The teacher pursed her lips, which were trembling. Only guilt could be seen on her face.
At this moment, the patter of hurried footsteps alerted everyone. A young woman in her early twenties ran to the door of the operating room, panting. Sweat was still dripping from her forehead as she gasped for air. After a pause, she calmed down and asked, "How... How is Adrian now?"
Mandy turned her head and saw the other teacher, Miss Yu. Obviously, she had rushed here as her face was flushed like a tomato.
"Miss Yu, why are you here?" asked Mandy.
"I just got off work. I was worried about Adrian, so I come here to have a look," Miss Yu said while gasping like a fish. Since Miss Ren went to the hospital, she had to manage the class. She couldn't come until she was off duty.
"Adrian is safe for the time being, but I don't know what happened." Mandy's face darkened. Although she tried to smile at the teachers, she still felt depressed in her heart. Mandy's heart would remain in turmoil until she could see the detailed report. Just those bolded "normal" remarks in the report would put her heart at peace.
"Mrs. Jin, what do you mean? What's wrong with Adrian?" asked Miss Yu with a frown.
"Adrian's wound could have been infected by bacteria. The reports will come after a week. So until then, we just have to pray that everything comes out okay." Mandy shook her head, feeling powerless. For a moment, she felt that her world was going to collapse. Fortunately, Nathan was by her side now.
With one hand in his pocket, Nathan walked some distance from Mandy. His handsome face was now as cold as ice. With a sullen look, he took out his phone and called Serge. When he answered, Serge could sense that dangerous aura laced in Nathan's voice. "Serge, hurry up and check out this Doctor Ouyang. Use force if you have to, but make sure you enter that laboratory at all cost!"
"Understood!" Serge was already off duty. But after receiving orders from Nathan, he immediately turned around and drove towards the lab.
In the lab
Dr. Ouyang was doing an important experiment. It had bothered him for a long time. Bacteria showed varying properties on varying temperatures. Understanding the difference was crucial to the following research. The whole research project was going on step by step. One mistake on any given step and all his previous work would turn into an error, and he would have to start from the beginning. Because of such complexity, even after Dr. Ouyang studied for years, he couldn't finish the research and failed on every occasion.
