Chapter 287
“Things have taken a turn for the worse; we need to operate immediately!” Melody’s heart tightened as she quickened her pace in handling the dog’s fur.
Next to her was David, he is a newbie who had just learned medicine and he does not know how to operate.
But seeing the urgency and feeling helpless, he quickly said, “Miss Fox, I’ll get Dr. Hudson from the clinic to help. The clinic isn’t busy right now, he should be able to assist.”
“Alright,” Melody replied as she began to check Lucky’s physical condition with the device.
Melody’s diagnosis was correct, Lucky had multiple comminuted fractures and internal injuries, with the most severe being a bleeding stomach that needed immediate surgery.
A few minutes later, Michael was brought in.
As soon as Michael entered, his face darkened, and he angrily exclaimed, “Why is it a dog on the operating table? Who allowed you to perform surgery on a dog here? If other patients find out, who would still want to come to our clinic?”
David quickly interjected, “Dr. Hudson, this is Melody Fox, Miss Fox, who has a good relationship with Mr. Herbert and his wife. If Mr. Herbert was here, I believe he would agree as well.”
“Bullshit!” Michael cursed and said, “I’ve been working at the clinic for so many years, but I’ve never seen the boss bring an animal in for surgery. I order you to throw this woman and that dog out immediately!”
“Dr. Hudson? Haven’t you seen Miss Fox a few times? Why are you.”
David looked at Michael in disbelief.
David did not want to believe that Michael, who had always treated others with a smile, would say such words.
However, Michael had his own plans.
Since Colin and Beverly did not have any children, they had the intention to leave the clinic here and travel the world.
In addition, Michael was the most experienced doctor here, he assumed the clinic would eventually be his. However, recently, this ugly woman had been too close to Colin and his wife. Colin even agreed to let her come to the clinic when she was free.
This made Michael feel threatened.
Coincidentally, since Colin was away on a business trip. Michael can now teach this woman a lesson.
Michael glared at David coldly and said, “You’re just an errand boy who’s learned medicine for two days. Are you defying my orders? For the last time, throw her and the dog out now!”
David gritted his teeth.
David’s status was naturally incomparable to Dr. Hudson’s, but he could not chase Miss Fox out, nor did he dare to argue with Dr. Hudson. He could only stare at his toes in silence.
“If you won’t do it, I will!” Michael said.
Michael strode to the operating table, reaching for Lucky’s scruff.
But before he could grab it, a slender hand caught his wrist, twisting it behind his back and pinning him to the wall, immobilized.
Michael was already traditional medicine years old. Usually, everyone was polite to him. When had he ever been held on the wall like this?
Despite being an experienced doctor, Michael found himself helpless against her strength. He struggled but couldn’t break free, only managing to sweat profusely.
He was a man in his prime, but his skills and strength were inferior to a little girl.
Anger surged from his heart to the top of his head.
Michael shouted, “Let go of me, you little wretch!”
David widened his eyes in shock and quickly went forward to persuade, “Miss Fox, Doctor Michael is our second most senior doctor. Please, go easy on him.”
Although David was furious with Michael’s actions, he couldn’t watch Melody beating him up.
Melody pushed Michael away and said coldly, “I’m in a rush
to operate and don’t have time to waste on you. You can choose not to help, but if you try to interfere again, you’ll regret it.”
Melody had no impression of Michael’s face, but the name Michael sounded familiar though she couldn’t recall from where.
Based on Michael’s lack of respect for life and attitude towards Melody, she knew he wasn’t a competent doctor and held great animosity towards her.
Melody had no intention of showing Michael any courtesy,
Melody only refrains from hurting Michael out of respect for Colin.
However, Michael felt utterly humiliated and, with a darkened face, threatened, “Fine, Miss Fox. If you won’t drink a toast, you’ll drink a forfeit. You won’t be operating here today!”
As Michael spoke, he picked up his phone and began to call the police.
“Hello, police? I need to report a disturbance at our clinic. Someone is occupying our operating room! Please come immediately.”
Before Michael could finish, Melody snatched the phone and threw it into the operating room sink,
His phone was soaked in water, and the screen immediately
turned black.
“I just bought that phone!” Michael cried out in pain. He rushed towards Melody with a red face.
Melody swiftly chopped the back of Michael’s neck, rendering him unconscious.
“Dr. Hudson!” David was shocked and quickly checked if Micheal is still breathing.
Fortunately, Micheal was still breathing and was not dead and had only fainted.
Melody said expressionlessly, “Tie him up so he doesn’t interfere when he wakes.”
“Miss Fox, this.” David was panicking.
Melody frowned and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll bear all the consequences alone.”
David gritted his teeth and said fearlessly, “It’s okay, Miss Fox. That’s not what I’m afraid of. I’m only worried that without Dr. Hudson, our clinic will lose a very experienced doctor. But he was indeed out of line… If the police come, you can blame me. After all, I owe you a big favour.”
Melody continued her preparations, “Don’t worry about taking the blame. Just tie him up and inform Beverly about this.”
“Got it,” David replied.
The surgery proceeded tensely.
However, not long after, Michael woke up.
Michael saw himself tied up and shouted for a long time. When he knew that Melody would not let go of him, he finally stopped struggling in vain. He sneered and said, “With this dog’s situation, based on my experience, your operation was in vain. It can’t survive! You might as well think about how to escape before the police arrive.”
Melody ignored him and continued the surgery.
Minutes turned into hours, and Michael dozed off, only to wake to Melody announcing, “It’s done. Now for the sutures.”
Michael raised his eyelids and frowned deeply.
‘Done?’ he questioned.
This was impossible.
Melody’s medical skills were about to surpass Colin’s. How could this girl do something that even he could not save?
Michael’s eyes snapped open in disbelief. Finished? Impossible. She must be bluffing to save face!
Just then, the door knocked.
“Open up! This is the police. We received a report of a disturbance. Please cooperate!” the police said.
