Chapter 10 Anna Was Saved

• Elaine accepted the water.
• Seeing Hannah's tearful eyes, a small smile touched her lips. "Don't worry, your sister's leg is safe now, and she's no longer in danger."
• "Thank you."
• Hearing this, Hannah felt overwhelmed with gratitude and nearly bowed to her.
• After all, even the famous Dr. Jay Curran had said that an amputation was necessary to save her life.
• But this girl accomplished it.
• She saved Anna.
• Elaine promptly offered her support.
• "Make sure to take good care of your sister."
• She had to leave quickly.
• If Jay discovered it was her, she wouldn't be able to justify her medical expertise.
• ...
• Inside the hospital deputy director's office ...
• Jay reclined in his chair, his expression growing increasingly severe.
• The more he pondered, the more his anger grew.
• How could I have let a life slip away like that?
• As a doctor, it was my responsibility to save lives!
• He should have forced open the operating room door if that was what it took to save Anna.
• He watched in despair as a life slipped away before him.
• A profound guilt wrapped around him.
• Despite his sharp words, he held a deep sense of professional integrity.
• Knock, knock.
• Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
• "Excuse me, Dr. Curran."
• The assistant entered, her face showing a mix of emotions.
• Jay's expression was dark.
• "What's going on?"
• "Dr. Curran, that patient, she ... "
• "Is she dead?"
• Without waiting for the assistant to finish, Jay jumped up in fury. "I knew it! Call the police! Arrest that high school student. She's a murderer! She must pay with her life!"
• "She's already gone."
• The assistant, frightened by his rage, recoiled at the door.
• She dared not to enter the office.
• In a weak voice, she repeated, "She's already gone."
• Jay's anger intensified, nearly causing him to overturn the table.
• "Gone? You let her escape? What kind of people are you? She's a killer! Where's her accomplice? The boy who blocked the operating room door! Arrest him as well! They both need to be punished!"
• "Dr. Curran ... "
• The assistant recoiled from his outburst, raising her hand timidly. "Dr. Curran, please try to calm down."
• "Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?"
• "Dr. Curran, the patient didn't die."
• "I know the patient didn't ... What did you just say?"
• His words abruptly stopped.
• He rushed over to the assistant, locking his gaze on her. Raising his voice, he demanded, "What did you just say? Repeat it!"
• "The patient didn't die."
• Jay was taken aback.
• "Not only did she survive, but her leg was also saved."
• What's going on?
• "Or, you can go to the ward and see for yourself," the assistant said softly.
• She scrutinized Jay's face intently.
• This moment marked a pivotal shift in Dr. Curran's professional life.
• He had determined that the only chance for the patient to live was through amputation.
• However, a high school student showed that he was mistaken.
• Jay didn't say anything.
• Before the assistant could complete her words, she watched the man march out of the office.
• Jay hurried to the ward in one breath.
• He panted heavily, fueled by excitement.
• His striking features were tinged with a slight blush.
• Hannah was positioned beside the bed.
• "Dr. Curran ... "
• ...
• Jay stayed quiet, taking a moment to calm his breathing.
• He swiftly and meticulously checked Anna's wounds.
• As the assistant had reported, she was still alive and her leg was spared.
• How could this be?
• From my extensive clinical experience, this should have been impossible!
• Yet that girl accomplished it!
• That girl, she's just a teenager!
• How did she manage to do it?
• Jay ushered Hannah out of the ward.
• "Dr. Curran ... "
• Hannah was taken aback by his unusual actions.
• "Who is she?"
• Jay inquired urgently.
• "Tell me!
• "Who is the girl who rescued your sister?"
