Chapter 177   Question

Everyone was dissatisfied and mocked Fang Liu. One could imagine that everyone would look at Fang Liu in disdain when she came out of the operating room to announce her failure.

Although Cui Mao owned the hospital, he couldn’t defend Fang Liu at the moment. He could only pray that Old Man Gong would still be alive when Fang Liu came out of the operating room. That would be the best-case scenario for the hospital’s reputation.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost time for the shifts to change. The tightly shut door finally opened, and a figure in protective gear appeared before everyone.

Fang Liu stepped into the decontamination chamber, cleaning her protective gear. The disinfectant dripped from the gear onto the floor. Fang Liu walked out as she held the door frame and shut the door behind her.

Everyone present stared at Fang Liu as Cui Mao asked, “Is Old Man Gong dead?”

Big Gong held his breath and waited for Fang Liu to reply. After a long pause, Fang Liu shook her head.

Cui Mao heaved a sigh of relief while Big Gong revealed a hint of disappointment. The doctors who consulted Old Man Gong said that we would not live past today. However, it was almost midnight, yet Old Man Gong had survived.

A few level-one and two doctors had stayed this long just to see the results of Fang Liu’s operation. At this moment, they looked at Fang Liu as she announced that Old Man Gong was still alive. The doctors were in disbelief.

One of the male doctors walked toward Fang Liu and tried to open the door behind her. “A person’s life is at stake. We have to check on Old Man Gong’s condition personally!”

Fang Liu immediately grabbed the male doctor’s hand and sternly said, “No! You can’t go in there!”

“I-I can’t?” The doctor said as he looked at Fang Liu suspiciously.

‘I knew it! She must’ve killed Old Man Gong in the process!’ The male doctor was thrilled and tried harder to open the door.

“Let me in! I know you killed the patient, and you’re trying to hide it from us!” The male doctor waved his hand and forcefully pushed the frail Fang Liu away.

Fang Liu fell backward, and just as she was about to hit the ground, she was caught by someone. When Fang Liu looked up, she saw Mo Yu.

Mo Yu exuded malicious intent as he glared at the doctor who pushed Fang Liu. Mo Yu’s tone was vicious as he said, “Were you the one who pushed my wife?”

The male doctor felt a terrifying chill run down his spine when he saw Mo Yu glaring at him. ‘W-What a terrifying man!’ The male doctor didn’t dare to face Mo Yu, so he retreated into the crowd in fear.

Mo Yu supported Fang Liu and said coldly, “Why are you in such a hurry? You should let Doctor Fang finish her explanation before jumping to conclusions.”

Fang Liu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Old Man Gong is still unstable for now. I need to keep him under observation for at least two days. No one is allowed to enter this operating room before that.”

Some people wanted to ask Fang Liu what right she had to make such demands, but when they saw the tall and handsome Mo Yu standing next to Fang Liu, they hesitated and remained silent.

Fang Liu knew what the others were thinking. “I will take full responsibility should anything terrible happen to Old Man Gong. You don’t have to worry. I won’t taint this hospital’s reputation.”

Since Fang Liu had reassured everyone present, they could only keep quiet and take her word for it.

The crowd dispersed, and Cui Mao looked at Fang Liu. He wanted to say something but hesitated. As Cui Mao was about to ask a question, Mo Yu picked Fang Liu up by her waist and prepared to leave the hospital.

“My wife has been in that operating room since morning. She hasn’t had a break. If there’s anything you want to talk to her about, you should do it tomorrow.”

Big Gong, who wanted to bug Fang Liu, had no choice but to shut his mouth and watch as Mo Yu took Fang Liu away. Big Gong was puzzled when he saw that Mo Yu was concerned about Fang Liu.

‘Why does Mo Yu seem to care for Fang Liu so much? The child in her belly doesn’t even belong to him.’

Mo Yu carried Fang Liu into the car and was about to help her take the protective gear off. But Fang Liu stopped him and took the protective gear off herself, revealing a face full of sweat.

Sweat even soaked the clothes that Fang Liu wore under the protective gear. Fang Liu’s face was ashen as if Mo Yu had just fished her out of the sea.

Mo Yu became gloomy when he saw this.

Fang Liu told Mo Yu that the surgery would not take more than three hours just so Mo Yu would agree to her proposal to treat Old Man Gong. In the end, Fang Liu had been operating for an entire day.

Mo Yu was both angry and heartbroken. He hugged Fang Liu tightly and looked at the water bottle he had brought for her. Mo Yu poured Fang Liu a glass and hurriedly gave it to her.
