Chapter 270

Regina!

Miss Sterling!

Everyone was shocked and supported Regina hurriedly.

Regina smiled apologetically with a weak expression and said: I’m sorry. The operation took too much of my energy. I may have had a little low blood sugar… Sorry for the trouble.

Zoe was touched. She supported Regina and said: Regina, we’ve seen your sincerity toward Lucas. It’s been hard on you!

After playing the game for three hours, Regina shook her head weakly. No, it’s not hard. It’s all worth it. The operation was carried out smoothly. Dr. Stanton, please go inside and see Lucas. If he’s all right, he can be transferred to the ICU for observation.

Alright, I’ll go inside now.

Rodney quickly entered the operating room and came out a short while later.

Don’t worry the operation went smoothly. Mr. Morgan’s vital signs have stabilized. I believe it won’t be long before he’s transferred from the ICU to a normal ward.

Ander quickly asked, how long will it take for Lucas to wake up?

He’ll probably wake up tonight but can’t talk yet. He’s got an oxygen tube in him.

That’s good. Ander heaved a sigh of relief.

Rodney could not help but look at Regina in admiration. He said, Miss Sterling, you’re young and promising. Let’s not talk about the success rate of such a difficult surgery. The operation alone would take to six hours if it were me, but you operated brilliantly inn three hours. You’ve broadened my horizons!

Regina was flattered by the praise. She felt that she was the one who did the operation at that moment. She smiled shyly and said: I was just lucky. There were no accidents during the operation, so the operation ended so quickly.

Miss Sterling, you are too humble. I would have been arrogant long ago if I had such medical skills when I was your age, Rodney declared. Then, he asked curiously, Why didn’t I see your assistant when I went in?

She…Regina wanted to say something but hesitated. She sighed: My assistant is good at everything but has a bad temper. I said a few words to her during the operation with me, so I let her leave through the back door.

Rodney shook his head. I would have been your assistant if I had known that would happen.

It’s okay. I did it alone, didn’t I?

Yeah! Rodney replied, but his eyes were filled with displeasure toward Melody.

The more Zoe looked at Regina, the more she liked her. She turned to remind Ander, Honey; Regina has completed the surgery. Hurry up and follow the previous agreement to let Regina join your team. She’s so capable that she’s completely qualified to enter the team.

Ander nodded. That’s right. I’ll go through the process…

The emergency call sounded suddenly in the operating room as soon as Ander said his words.

It was the sound the machine made when the patient’s vital signs were in serious trouble.

No!

Rodney’s expression changed drastically as he walked toward the operating room.

Although Regina did not understand what the voice meant, she could tell from Rodney’s reaction that Lucas’s condition had suddenly deteriorated.

What’s going on? Isn’t the surgery completed smoothly? How could this be? Regina pondered, and then she panicked.

However, Ander and Zoe trusted her immensely. They asked: Regina, what happened suddenly? Didn’t you say that the operation had been completed?

Regina said with a pale face, I… I… don’t know either…

Go in and have a look! Ander urged.

Regina gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to pretend to faint, Rodney used out and grabbed Regina’s sleeve. Dr. Sterling, Mr. Morgan’s heart rate suddenly plummeted. Come and see what’s going on.

I… I don’t know either…

However, Rodney couldn’t care less. He pulled Regina inside. At that moment, Ander and Zoe could not care less and ran into the operating room, too.

Rodney pointed at the silver needle on Lucas’s body and asked: Isn’t it related to the silver needle you inserted?

Regina suddenly remembered what Melody told her before she fainted.

Melody told Regina to remove the silver needle in 10 minutes.

However, Regina did not take Melody’s words to heart at all. Because she was in a hurry to get benefits. She had long forgotten about the matter. Now that Regina thought about it, she quickly went over and removed the silver needle from Lucas’s body.

However, it would have been better if she had not pulled out the silver needle. With that pull, Lucas’s heart rate became a straight line.

The instruments in the operating room beeped almost at the same time.

How did that happen? Didn’t she say that he would be fine after removing the silver needle? Why is the situation worsening even faster? Could it be that Melody is lying to me that the silver needle could not be moved at all? Regina’s face was pale, and her mind was in a complete mess.

Rodney was super anxious. As he instructed his assistant to perform CPR on Lucas, he asked Regina, Miss Sterling, you can’t remove the silver needle, can you? Hurry up and insert the silver needle back!

I… Regina’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. She had completely forgotten what acupuncture point the silver needle was inserted into. It would be great if she knew she acupuncture point. However, she didn’t know at all!

As Ander watched Regina’s reaction, the doubt in his heart became increasingly apparent.

He frowned and asked: Regina, why don’t you think of a way to save Lucas quickly?

That’s right! Regina, quickly think of a way! Why don’t you try putting the silver needles back to see? You’re so powerful, you definitely have the ability to save Lucas!

Zoe’s words flattered Regina.

Regina felt guilty and flustered, but there was nothing she could do. She could only stand there in a daze.

Then the anesthetist could not stand it anymore.

He loved money, and so did everyone. However, he still had basic ethics as a doctor. Hence, he could not help but say, Miss Sterling, why don’t you get your assistant to come over and ask her to insert the Silver needle back… I’ve asked someone to put an intravenous drip on her. I think she should be awake by now.

When Ander heard that, he asked: What assistant? Which assistant did the silver needle?

Just as the anesthetist was about to speak, Regina quickly said, Yes! I’ve done the operation, but she said the effect would be better after the acupuncture, so she didn’t listen to my advice and directly performed acupuncture on Lucas. I thought it was fine, so I let her do it. I didn’t expect…

Bastard! Ander ordered with a livid expression. Bring that crazy woman over immediately!

Regina’s heart was racing, but she believed that with her glib tongue and the trust that Ander and Zoe had in her, they would never believe Melody. Hence, it did not matter if Melody cam over. It just so happened that Regina could push all the blame to Melody.

Soon, Melody was brought over. She still had an IV drip in her hand. She held onto the rack with the IV drip hanging from it as she walked. Is the patient alright? Why are there so many people in the operating room? The patient’s immunity is very low now. It’s best if you don’t stay here.

Melody’s heart was filled with concern for Luca’s health, but as soon as she said her words, she heard Ander reprimand her. Stop putting on act here!
