Chapter 159 Taylor Sutton’s Family
A number of people were gathered at the entrance of the ICU, each with a very grim face. One of them was an old lady with gray hair, sitting in a wheelchair, her eyes red and in a very unstable mood.
When Ruby and Dr. Moore came over, there was little reaction from those few people.
Dean Chase gave an introduction to both sides.
It was only when Old lady Sutton heard that she raised her head and gave Ruby and Dr. Moore a glance, only when her eyes fell on Ruby, she froze dumbfounded on the spot.
“It’s whatever experimental drug you came up with. Do you know that you almost killed my big brother with that crap drug?” A woman with features that bore a slight resemblance to the old lady gave Ruby a mean-eyed glance before she opened her mouth and scolded in a shrill voice.
Ruby didn’t even look at her and said directly to Dean Chase, “Arrange for an operating room immediately, I want to operate on him.”
Dean Chase did not answer immediately, but just subconsciously glanced at Dr. Moore.
“Go on.” Dr. Moore’s face was grim, and he waved his hand impatiently at the sight.
It was only then that Dean Chase hurriedly turned around and left to arrange an operating theatre for Ruby.
When Nancy Morris saw that Ruby was ignoring her, she became furious and stepped forward, reaching out to tug Ruby’s hand, while also scolding in an unkind tone, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you hear me talking to you? What? The drug you created has made my brother look like this, and now you don’t want to be responsible for it?”
“Are you talking to me?” Ruby looked at Nancy with a bland expression and opened her mouth to ask.
Nancy felt that Ruby’s gaze made her feel a little panicky, that feeling was the same as the way the old man looked at her when he was still alive.
She was a little uncomfortable, so her tone became even more impolite: “Why are you being mean to me? The truth is that there is something wrong with the drug made by your institute! Didn’t you tell us yesterday that he was cured? How come it’s only been a few hours since he got home and now he is in this state? Now my brother is dying…”
“That’s enough! Taylor will not die!” Old Lady Sutton had been shocked at Ruby’s looks until then, when she heard Nancy’s words, she came back to her senses and shouted with a cold face.
Nancy’s face was full of reluctance and she glared at Ruby, but due to the Old Lady Sutton’s authority, she did not dare to continue speaking.
Dean Chase soon returned and wiped the sweat from his forehead before speaking to Ruby: “Miss Harold, the operating theatre has been arranged, will you arrange the operation now?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Yes, immediately, send the patient into the operating room.” Ruby nodded, turned around and left.
Nancy opened her mouth to say a few words, but when she met Old Lady Sutton’s eyes, she meekly shut her mouth and did not dare to say another word.
But there were those couldn’t help but mutter, “She is so young, will she do the surgery? And need someone to prepare the operating room for her? Don’t get brother get killed, then…”
“No one will take you for a mute if you don’t speak, those who don’t want to stay in the hospital, all get out.” Hearing those inauspicious words, Old Lady Sutton’s face immediately sank, and she gave the woman who spoke a fierce glare.
The woman nodded resentfully, not daring to speak any more nonsense.
Ruby went to change into a sterile gown before entering the operating room with a sullen face.
Taylor had been sent over and Dean Chase had arranged for a few people to come over and give Ruby a hand.
Ruby didn’t even look at them, walked straight over to the operating table and looked down at Taylor’s face that was pale.
She went to take a look at the brain CT chart hanging at the back, and walked back again, took a razor, shaved all of Taylor’s hair, and took a marker and drew a cross on it, before picking up the scalpel and starting the operation.
The others watched in shock as she performed all the movements, obviously the same surgery, but for some reason, Ruby’s movement was particularly pleasing to the eye.
Ruby did not call for any help from the beginning to the end and stood there alone to perform the operation.
Taylor was shot in the brain back then and had always had fragments of the bullet remaining in his skull, and because the location happened to be covered with nerves, no craniotomy was ever done to remove the fragments.
He had been in a coma since he was shot, and because there was no movement, the fragments of the bullet did not move, and as a result, he was discharged from hospital yesterday and left, presumably having had some kind of strenuous movement that caused the fragments in his skull to move out of position, which triggered a series of problems.
Ruby removed the fragments and after she finished suturing, she dropped the scalpel: “That’s enough, send him into the ICU first, you won’t need me to teach you post-operative care.”
“Okay.” Throughout the operating room, everyone nodded in unison, looking at Ruby with a look of reverence.
They had seen the best surgeons in the hospital perform surgery, but nothing as fast and delicate as Ruby. Watching this surgery today was shocking for them.
“Miss Harold, your medical skills are really impressive, where did you learn your medical skills?” A few nurses came over with faces full of admiration and gathered around Ruby.
“F Country.” Ruby replied casually, took off the blood-stained gloves from her hands and threw them inside the bin, “I’ll go first, I’ll leave the rest to you guys.”
“Miss Harold, will you come back to our hospital for future surgeries? Can I give you a hand?”
“And me, and me, I can do it too!”
“I can do it too! I can wipe your sweat!”
“Bah! Shame on you, the job of wiping the sweat is mine!”
“You’re the shameless one, it’s mine!”
The three nurses argued directly, Ruby shook her head, ignored them and turned to leave.
Just after leaving the operating room, Nancy was the first one to come up and looked at Ruby, with mockery in her eyes: “What? Is the operation done? Are you going to tell us that the operation was a success and my brother will be fine? And that he’ll wake up soon?”
Ruby heard Nancy’s mocking tone and faintly raised her eyebrows, glancing at her, “You’re quite clever.”
“Oh, you don’t know how to brag. And you can do surgery? You are not afraid of being laughed at!” Nancy was very unhappy when she thought of how Ruby had just ignored her and was reprimanded by Old Lady Sutton.
Especially when she looked at Ruby’s face, for some reason, she always felt as if she had seen it somewhere before, but could not recall it for a while.
“Move over, you’re blocking the way.” Ruby was in no mood to talk to such a person, and directly reached out to push the person out of the way.
Nancy staggered, looking at Ruby’s uncaring attitude, and was half-exasperated.
After an operation, Ruby was now so physically exhausted that she didn’t bother to talk to Nancy. She went to change her clothes, took a shower, and left the hospital straight away.
