Chapter 513

Melody looked at Adrian expressionlessly. “If it’s not me, are you willing to be the chief surgeon?”

“No, no, no…” Adrian waved his hands. ‘How can I take over this mess? I’m not stupid.

However, Adrian quickly realized that it was not good for him to reject Melody like this. He added, “You’re a miracle-working doctor. With you here, I might not as well cause trouble.”

Melody could not be bothered with Adrian anymore. After letting the unrelated personnel, including Lennon and James, leave, she walked to the operating table and asked a few surgical assistants about Sid’s situation.

These assistants were very professional. They reported every detail to Melody. “The patient’s blood pressure and heart rate…”

Melody frowned when she heard this because Sid’s situation was worse than she had imagined.

He had been stabbed a total of three times, almost fatally. If the people in the ambulance did not do as she said, Sid would have died long ago.

However, what sent chills down Melody’s spine was that she was afraid she couldn’t change anyone’s fate.

In his previous life, Sid had never suffered such a serious injury. In the end, he died suddenly. Although the situation in this life was different, unfortunately, his life was in anger. ‘What if fate can not be changed at all? Even if I save Sid’s life this time, will there be a next time? If a person is destined to die, no matter how hard I try, will that person still die young in the end? Even if I changed the process, the time of the incident, and the cause of the incident itself, if the outcome does not change no matter what, then not only will Sid’s fate be unchanged, but my fate will also be unchanged. I’ll still die at the hands of the Fox family and Ulric.’ Looking at Sid before her, Melody felt that she was not fighting against death, but against fate…

The more Melody thought about it, the more afraid she became. The helplessness and despair assaulted her heart. A layer of cold sweat even appeared on her forehead.

Adrian, who had shamelessly stayed in the resuscitation room, saw Melody’s pale face and sweat all over her body. His heart was filled with mockery.

‘It seems that this woman is afraid. She had vowed to be the chief surgeon but did not know how serious the patient’s injuries were. Now that she hears about the patient’s condition, she probably only feels regret. However, this is good, too. This patient looks like he comes from a wealthy family. Perhaps he has a strong background. If he dies and his family investigates, not only can I escape responsibility, but even my father’s hospital will not get implicated because we had only “kindly” provided the resuscitation room. The person who operates on the patient is not us at all, but this ungrateful woman in front of me.’ The more Adrian thought about it, the more he felt that even God was helping him.

At the thought of this, Adrian even deliberately stepped forward to flatter Melody. “Yes, the patient’s injuries are serious, but with a miracle-working doctor like Miss Fox, I’m sure she can turn the tide.”

At this moment, Melody also came back to her senses. She coldly told Adrian to shut up and then asked a few surgical assistants to prepare before the surgery.

She still had time to argue with Adrian and the others just now because Zara had not arrived yet.

Before she had enough blood bags, she could not undergo surgery rashly.

However, looking at the time now, she knew Zara should be arriving soon and that she could start preoperative preparations first.

When Adrian saw that Melody focused on her preoperative preparations, he thought it was because of his “flatter” that Melody was in a difficult position and could only brace herself and go ahead even if the surgery was not easy. He was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, no one noticed his expression.

At this moment, someone brought Zara into the emergency room.

The resuscitation room was filled with the smell of blood.

Zara had never seen such a scene before. The moment she entered the resuscitation room, she felt her stomach churning and she almost vomited. Even so, Zara endured the discomfort and walked forward. ‘Melody, I’m here Melody nodded and said gratefully and guiltily, “Thank you” Although there were only two words, she and Zara hit it off at first sight. There was no need for more words between them.

Zara smiled, but when she realized she was wearing a mask and Melody could not see it, she said, “No need. I often donate blood. Not only for the sake of doing good but also so that someone can be like me when I encounter danger in the future.”

Melody nodded again and led Zara to the small bed beside the operating table.

The small bed was prepared just now. Melody knew that Zara probably did not want to see a bloody scene, so she specially called a few assistant doctors to separate a piece of cloth between the two beds.

Soon, everything was ready. The surgery had begun.

In the resuscitation room, the surgery was being carried out nervously.

Outside the resuscitation room, Ken wasn’t idle either. After pacing back and forth, he still found the number of Sid’s father, Sebastian Quant, in his contact list.

When James saw this, he boldly reminded him, “Mr. Swanson, Quant family people already had many misunderstandings about you. Now that Mr. Quant has such a thing, are you sure you want to tell them? This will make them dislike you even more.”

Ken turned to look at James. “Don’t forget that Sid is their son. They have the right to know how dangerous Sid’s situation is now.

Moreover, Sid is too seriously injured. Although Melody’s medical skills are superb, there are always accidents.”

James opened his mouth, but in the end, he closed it. ‘Mr. Swanson is right. It will be best if Melody can save Mr. Quant, but if Mr. Quant dies and people of the Quant family don’t even see Mr. Quant for the last time, they will only hate Mr. Swanson, who hid it from them, even more.’

A few seconds after the call was made, the call ended.

Sebastian hung up. It was enough to show how much Sebastian disliked Ken.

However, Ken’s expression did not change at all. He dialed that number again.

This time, Sebastian finally picked up the call, but his tone was unfriendly. “I was wondering why Insterimond’s wind was so strong today. I didn’t expect it to be Mr. Swanson calling. I wonder what you want, Mr. Swanson?”

Anyone of good sense could hear the mockery in Sebastian’s words, but Ken didn’t seem to notice it at all. He maintained politeness and said, “Sebastian, I have something to tell you.”

“Oh, I can’t afford to be treated so respectfully by you. Those who don’t know better would think that I conspired with you to cripple your brother’s leg,” Sebastian said.

As soon as he said this, James, standing at the side, instantly got furious.

However, Ken acted as if he didn’t hear that at all. Ignoring Sebastian’s words, he continued, “Sid was seriously injured at the airport and was stabbed three times. One of the stabs pierced his heart and he’s currently in the emergency room.’

The person on the other end of the phone instantly fell silent.

After a few seconds, Sebastian’s crazy roar came from the phone, “Ken, if my son doesn’t wake up safely, I won’t let you off.”

“Don’t worry. If Sid doesn’t make it, I’ll cripple my right arm. You don’t have to do it yourself.” Ken’s expression remained unchanged.
