Sweet Twins novel Chapter 42

"No, I can't take it. As a doctor, it's my duty to save patients. Besides, this is a profession that I love with all my heart. What you're doing is an insult to my career!" Nancy refused sternly.

She really didn't like that Zoe Ma, the patient's mother, was trying to give her a red envelope. Of course, doctors who were greedy for money did exist, but they were rare. She didn't want her whole profession to be degraded by those few black sheep.

"Dr. Nancy, not only are you a great doctor, but you are a good person as well!" Zoe Ma said, praising her.

Not wanting to waste any more time on this conversation, Nancy just gave her a nod of acknowledgment and turned her attention to the girl's legs. She suspected that the girl had a hemorrhage, and she soon confirmed her guess with an X-ray scan.

The girl's legs were indeed seriously injured. Her last operation had been unsuccessful, causing the back corner of her tibial plateau to lean forward. That was the main reason she couldn't walk easily.

"Prepare for the surgery," Nancy said. It was a complicated surgery, but Nancy was confident that it would be a success.

Over the last few days, Nancy and Jessie had conducted all surgeries together, and this was no exception.

As the main surgeon for this surgery, Nancy finished her part soon. Considering the young age of the girl, she chose to give the girl a titanium alloy implant. Since the girl would grow quickly, it would be possible for the implant to be removed in about three or four months.

The completion of the surgery was usually done by the assistants. Besides, as the director of the pediatric department, Jessie would be able to do it easily, so Nancy just left it to her.

After that, she immediately started preparing for her next surgery.

When she finished the second surgery and walked out of the operating room, her path was unexpectedly blocked by Zoe Ma, who began yelling hysterically, "Great doctor? You're the worst! You promised that the surgery would be a success, but now her condition is even more serious than before. I'm going to sue you, you bitch!"

Before Nancy could reply, a nurse ran over and explained, "Dr. Nancy's surgery was very successful. There was an accident after she left!"

"What happened?" Nancy asked anxiously.

Zoe Ma grabbed Nancy's arm and said, "Nancy, look at my child's legs. Her tibial plateau is seriously tilted. Is this what you call 'no problem'? Isn't it a big problem?"

Then, she threw the X-ray photo onto Nancy.

Nancy caught it, feeling like her stomach dropped. When she saw the X-ray, her face went pale. It seemed that the girl's tibial plateau looked indeed worse than before the surgery.

This was absolutely not what the result should have been!

"I'm sorry, Dr. Nancy. It's my fault. It's all my fault!" Jessie ran up to them in a hurry and explained, "I was going to do it in person, but my stomach ached so much that I handed the work to Stan, the intern. I didn't expect that he would make such a mistake. I..."

She had a look of remorse on her face.

However, Zoe Ma completely ignored her and continued shooting daggers at Nancy with her eyes. Then, beating Nancy with her fists, she shouted, "I don't care what happened or who messed up! You're the one I brought my child to, Nancy. You're the one I trusted. Now, she's in a serious condition! What should I do?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Nancy shook her head, feeling such a deep sense of guilt and regret that she didn't even try to dodge or block her fists. She had never imagined that such a thing could happen.

Although she had never seen her own child, she had started seeing Bobby as her son, and whenever something happened to him, she would be overcome with worry as if a knife was piercing her heart.

Since Zoe Ma was seeing her kid suffer a failed surgery,

it was only natural for her to hate Nancy.

"I don't want to hear your apologies. I want to know what I should do now to save my baby girl!" Zoe Ma said as she continued to beat Nancy.

"There's only one choice now. She has to have a surgery again," Nancy said sadly.

"Can you guarantee that another accident won't happen again?" Zoe Ma's fists stopped in mid-air.

"Yes, I promise! I won't allow anything to go wrong again," Nancy said firmly.

This time, if there was a mistake during the surgery, the girl's legs would be permanently disabled.

As a doctor, she would never be able to forgive herself!
