Nora

Chapter 182:

“I didn’t know that I had become a person who doesn’t know what’s good for herself.”

When the woman’s low voice reached her ears, it made Tina wonder if she had misheard.

She hastened to explain, “I wasn’t talking about you. I…”

Before she could finish, however, she understood something in an instant. He looked at Nora in disbelief and stammered, “You… you… you… you…”.

He did not manage to finish his words even after repeating “you” three times.

However, Nora paid no further attention to him. Instead, she turned around and entered the operating room.

Tina, who was still in shock, stayed where she was and stared after her.

This continued until someone shouted, “Dr. York?”.

Only then did Tina finally come to her senses. She entered the operating room like a zombie, glancing from time to time at the resolute-looking figure.

Was Nora Smith Anti?

No, she must be dreaming! How could she be Anti?

Tina swallowed hard.

While she was in a daze, everyone in the operating room had begun to make preparations for their respective tasks. The patient had been anesthetized and was unconscious.

Nora put on a pair of gloves and began drawing the craniotomy incision lines on the child’s head with a felt-tip pen. Then, she stepped back to grab a scalpel.

At that moment…

“Dr. York?”

Someone yelled, snapping Tina back to reality. It was then that Nora realized Tina was in a trance. Only after the person called out to her did Tina hurriedly grab the scalpel and stepped forward to perform the craniotomy.

Nora frowned.

Her gaze swept over everyone in the room: they all looked serious, and their enthusiasm for meeting her had just vanished. Once on the operating table, they were doctors saving the sick and injured.

Lisa was a newcomer who had never entered an operating room before this, and Tina had even made things difficult for her on purpose before they entered the operating room; but even she was looking at the patient seriously at this point. She did not make any mistakes in the tasks assigned to her at all.noveldrama

Nora felt that she had not misjudged her, after all. Although her little cousin was quite easy to deal with in her daily life, she was able to concentrate and remain unaffected by anything on the operating table.

In contrast, Tina, as an experienced surgeon, had performed countless operations before, and still behaved like this. She was too irresponsible.

Her expression turned cold. She took a step forward, stopped Tina, and said, “I’ll do it instead.”

Although a craniotomy was a simple procedure, each operation had to be treated with caution and reverence.

Everyone realized that Tina was not in the right frame of mind. Therefore, no one doubted Anti when she said that.

Tina was the only one who frowned and looked at her angrily.

However, no one could refute the chief surgeon’s instructions when they were in the operating room. Therefore, she could only step back.

Nora lowered her head and began to perform the operation in earnest.

For a while, the operating room was silent as everyone went about their tasks.

“Forceps.”

Nora suddenly reached out behind her.

Tina, whom Nora had forced to stand behind her, was stunned for a moment. She hurried to grab the forceps from the operating table and handed them to her, but Nora unexpectedly did not take it.

Tina looked up again to see Anti, who felt so strange to her, saying coldly and with a hint of sarcasm, “Are you incapable of even distinguishing between forceps and hemostatics, Dr. York? Were you really the Head of the Surgery Department at Finest Hospital? Have you really performed operations before? Are the patients you operated on still alive? Also, I really suspect that the person who hired you must be blind.”

His every word was like a knife mercilessly lacerating Tina’s cheeks, making her feel as if her skin had been cut into strips and they all fell to the ground.

The students around them were looking at her as well.

Tina felt as if all the blood inside her had rushed to her head in an instant. Suddenly, she said impulsively, “They’re messing with me!”.

Right after she screamed, she threw the object in her hand towards Nora.

Nora, who was already alert, abruptly reached out her leg and kicked Tina away as her arm swung down.

Boom!

Tina crashed into the wall and fell to the floor. She wanted to get up, but instead tasted something sickly sweet in her mouth. The next moment, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

None of those in the operating room could react in time to his sudden outburst.

Nora, however, had held the craniotomy instrument firmly in one hand, not even moving.

“Forceps.”

Her calm, restrained voice brought everyone back to their senses. Michael was the quietest among them, but he was relatively far away. He was about to reach over and hand Nora the tool when someone reacted and handed him the forceps.

Michael looked: it was Lisa.

He was a little surprised, but after that, he couldn’t help but sigh. Anti really had a great eye for people. Everyone thought the graduate student he had taken on was too easy to deal with, but, unexpectedly, he could react so quickly to such an accident.

He was really devoting his whole mind and body to the operation.

Despite the little episode in the middle, the operation went smoothly.

Four hours later, Nora finished the last step. She stepped aside and indicated to Michael, “Suture the wound.”

“Got it.”

The others assisted Michael as he stitched the wound. Nora took the opportunity to move her fingers and wrists, as well as her shoulders.

A four-hour operation was no big deal for her.

After stretching, she finally looked over at Tina, who had collapsed on the floor and passed out in a remote area.

Her going crazy in the operating room was something no one could have seen coming.

Otherwise, Nora would never have allowed her to enter the OR and pose a threat to the patient.

That was also why he had applied more force and knocked her out with a kick.

She lifted Tina casually and dragged her out of the operating room.

Some of the others happened to look. When they saw Anti’s back, they broke out in a cold sweat.

Twenty minutes later, Tina slowly opened her eyes.

Director Shaw and the others were standing in front of her. He reprimanded her sternly. “You’ve really let us down, Tina! How could you get into a fight in the operating room? If it wasn’t for Anti, were you going to ruin the operation, too?”

Tina’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Director Shaw then announced her sanction. He said, “Your medical license will be revoked. The school will also cancel your teaching grade and fire you.”

They were going to revoke her license? If they did, she would never be able to operate again. Her career would be totally ruined.

Tina panicked. She got out of bed and said, “Director Shaw, I…”.

But before she could finish, the police came over and said, “I’m sorry, Dr. York, but the patient’s relatives have filed a police report and accused you of interfering with the operation. Please help us with the investigation.”

“…”

As the police took Tina away, Nora put her clothes back on. She shuffled her feet and slowly shuffled away. She was about to leave the apartment when a voice suddenly came from behind her.

“Miss Smith?”

A surprised Nora turned to see Joel standing behind her, not far away.

He looked as friendly as ever. His upward-facing eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her, and there was a scrutinizing look in his eyes….
