It's really unfortunate! They encountered such an unreasonable and domineering woman at work! Oh well, they would just chalk it up to bad luck. If Dr. Zamora couldn't wake up, it would be because of this young girl who suddenly appeared. Thinking about this, everyone somehow breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, they really had no way to deal with Dr. Zamora's situation. They could only delay the surgery and hope that the patient wouldn't be able to hold on until "normal death" occurred - that was the best way to minimize punishment.
They never expected someone would suddenly appear, but her brashness managed to resolve their predicament.
If anything went wrong now, at least there was someone else who could take the blame.
The doctors gradually left the operating room one by one and gathered around Jase, whispering among themselves.
"Mr. Terry, don't get angry. Let her do what she wants - after all, the patient's family is still here and hasn't said anything."
"That's right, Mr. Terry. We trust your medical skills, but the problem lies with the patient's family."
"I have to say that Dr. Zamora is pretty unlucky... his sister is so heartless!"
...
Kate nervously stood at the door of the operating room as she heard those doctors' voices murmuring incessantly in her ear. She caught a few snippets of conversation which made her face turn black:
"Don't you dare talk bad about Cheyenne! I believe in Cheyenne and I also believe my brother thinks like me too!"
Gotcha!
Her own brother wasn't even as important as an outsider in her eyes.
They all thought Miss Zamora had been brainwashed; what kind of friends did she make?
The corridor fell silent for less than a minute when suddenly hurried footsteps were heard from behind them along with a hoarse voice ringing out, "How is Eddie doing?"
Turns out it was none other than Jonathan Owen, Hopedale Hospital's director!
Jonathan was 65 years old this year; he graduated from Harvard Medical School with his doctorate degree over forty years ago where he has treated countless patients since then.
He has published over 1 thousand articles – each one being star material in medical journals worldwide!
In his younger days, he had served the former President, and when the previous President retired, he decided to return to his hometown of Akloit and took on the role of the hospital director.
Eddie was not only Jonathan's student, but also his most valued successor. He had been grooming him both overtly and covertly, which was why he had managed to overcome all obstacles and appointed Eddie as the head of a department at such a young age.
Apart from Eddie's abilities, Jonathan admired his character as well. He had planned to retire in three months' time and let Eddie take over his position. However, such an unexpected event occurred.
Kate recognized the old man because her brother had brought her to visit Jonathan before.
"Mr. Owen," she said tearfully. Unable to bear seeing her cry, Jonathan comforted her by saying "Don't cry, Kate; your brother will be fine. How is the situation now?"
When the hospital director arrived, everyone who had been whispering fell silent except for Jase who took advantage of this opportunity to complain bitterly, "Mr. Owen, you finally came! Dr. Zamora's condition is very bad; we are trying our best to treat him."
"Why are you all just standing here? Are you waiting for Eddie to die?" He practically shouted the last sentence, and his voice echoed through the entire corridor, even drawing curious looks from passing patients.
Jase felt jealous beyond words - Mr. Owen really favored Eddie! In terms of seniority and connections within the hospital system, more than half of them supported Jase taking over that position instead of Eddie!
