She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 269 - Must Get Divorced

Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Must Get Divorced

Hope Williams steadied herself using the table in front of her, the sudden pain in her chest was unbearable.

“Director Williams, are you all right?” Seeing Hope’s complexion worsen, the doctors who came out with her quickly gathered around to support her.

Hope Williams raised her hand and shook it, “I’m fine.”

“Director, there’s still a major surgery scheduled next. Can you hold on?”

Clenching her teeth, Hope Williams replied, “Yes, go ahead and prepare.”

After taking a few deep breaths to calm her nervously anxious mood, she re-entered the operating room.

Meanwhile, Waylon Lewis was rushed into the emergency room. When the surgical lights were switched on and the doctors examined him, they discovered a tricky problem: the windshield had shattered in the collision, and a piece of glass had inserted itself precisely into the chest, right at the heart—it was the largest point of bleeding and the most critical wound.

The emergency room nurse came out to explain the situation.

The news almost knocked Christopher Lewis and Alitzel Williams, who had arrived in haste, off their feet.

The news of Waylon Lewis’s car accident had spread widely. None of the Lewis family members, with their ulterior motives, missed the news, and they came over under the guise of concern.

If Waylon were to die this time, the anchor of their family would truly be gone, and seizing control of the company would be a piece of cake.

Vivia Fuller stood by, her face anxious, supporting Alitzel Williams. Alitzel shrugged off Vivia’s hand, moved forward, and fiercely grabbed the nurse, “Hope Williams, where is Doctor Williams? Call her over. Have her perform the surgery.”

No matter what, considering Hope’s capabilities, she was indeed the most suitable person for the operation. Alitzel turned and grasped Thomas Hughes, “Go, quickly find Hope.”

By the time Thomas Hughes arrived, he had lost count of how many calls he had made to Hope, but all were unanswered.

“Director Williams entered the operating room an hour ago,” the nurse quickly reminded.

“Even if she’s in the operating room, get her out now,” Christopher bellowed.

What was she thinking, doing surgery for someone else while her own husband lay critically injured in the operating room?

“Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis, please calm down. We have sent someone to notify Director Williams, but ultimately it depends on how she arranges her schedule.”

After all, Hope had just started a heart transplant surgery, and it was unlikely she would be able to leave.

Alitzel sobbed helplessly, “Good, good, quickly notify her. Tell her that Waylon is waiting for her to save his life. She will come; she must come…”

The nurse hurried to Hope Williams’s operating room and quickly approached her, whispering the situation to the director.

Hope’s hand suddenly stopped moving, her pupils shrank dramatically, and she looked up at the nurse, unable to recover from the shock of the news.

The nurse was frightened by Hope’s gaze and continued quickly, “Director Williams, the family is repeatedly requesting your presence in the operating room. President Lewis’s condition is very critical.”

Hope’s face turned pale, a buzzing noise filling her ears.

“Beep—”

The piercing sound of the medical alarm echoed in her ears, as if urging Hope to make a decision.

“Director, the patient’s blood oxygen saturation is decreasing.”

“Director, will you go over there? Should I find Doctor King to replace you?”

The nurse felt that with her husband in a car accident, teetering on the edge of death, Hope would surely rush over immediately, and she was ready to notify other doctors to take over the surgery.

After a full two seconds of pause, Hope clenched her teeth, gripped the scalpel tighter, and her voice came out devoid of warmth from behind the mask, “Call other doctors to the emergency. I… can’t leave here.”

“But Director Williams…”

“The surgery continues,” her voice trembling slightly, her attention wholly returned to the task at hand.

The surgery had already begun; it was a heart transplant operation, the patient’s chest had been opened, she was the chief surgeon, and this was the most critical moment. Her departure could likely lead to the patient’s operation failing and consequent death.

She, as a doctor, had to be responsible for every patient.

“Director Williams, are you alright?”

The doctor across saw Hope Williams’s hand trembling as she held the scalpel, a sign of extreme tension.

Hope Williams closed her eyes tightly and then opened them as clear and determined as ever, “Continue.”

The nurse hurried back in a panic; Alitzel Williams didn’t see Hope Williams and kept looking back anxiously. She grabbed the nurse’s wrist with a blank stare, “Where is Hope? Where is she?”

“The director is still in surgery and can’t come down. The hospital has already arranged for other doctors to operate. Mrs. Lewis, please don’t worry.”

“Does she not want to come over?” Alitzel Williams’s frown deepened, “Did you tell her that Waylon Lewis was in a car accident?”

Alitzel Williams couldn’t believe it; shouldn’t Hope Williams drop everything to come at a time like this?

That was her husband.

“I told the director, but… I’m really sorry, Mrs. Lewis. The director is in the middle of a heart transplant; she really can’t leave,” the nurse repeated patiently.

Alitzel Williams stepped back with a frozen expression, “How could she be so heartless.”

Christopher Lewis heard this and instantly became furious.

“That’s her husband, waiting for her to save his life, and she could actually ignore him.”

“How can Miss Williams be so insensitive to the urgency of the situation? Brother Waylon is in such a state, and she actually has the heart not to come and operate on Waylon,” Vivia Fuller added fuel to the fire and spoke up, “I’m going to find her.”

“I’m sorry, Miss, but you can’t enter the operating room.”

A cold sneer flashed in Vivia Fuller’s heart, yet her face was full of anger, “Then you go find her; tell her to come quickly.”

The nurse was clearly troubled.

Christopher Lewis’s fist slammed against the wall, his face full of anger.

“Divorce. Once Waylon wakes up, he must divorce this woman; heartless and unprincipled, I think she doesn’t love Waylon at all.”

Director Woods, who had just arrived, couldn’t stand listening anymore, “Everyone, I can understand your feelings at this moment, but as a doctor, Hope Williams’s responsibility is to save the life of every patient. She has indeed started the surgery, and as the chief surgeon, if she leaves the operating table rashly, it could indeed lead to the patient’s death. Please try to understand.”

Inside, Director Woods admired Hope Williams even more.

She was a doctor, and there was nothing wrong with her actions, but as an ordinary person and as a wife, to make such a decision, Director Woods held a lot of respect.

The life of every patient mattered; as a doctor, she had no reason to abandon another person’s life.

However, considering the current situation, no matter whether President Lewis was in trouble or not, Hope Williams would face serious issues, Director Woods pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.

Five hours of surgery ended, and although there was a complication, Hope Williams quickly resolved it. As soon as she left the operating theater, with no time to catch her breath, she immediately rushed to Waylon Lewis’s emergency room.

Many people surrounded the entrance to the emergency room.

When Hope Williams arrived in a rush, before she had a chance to speak, she was met with a blow to the face.

With no place to dodge, a slap landed heavily on her face.

“How dare you show up, get out!” Christopher Lewis clenched his fists, veins bulging with rage as he glared at Hope Williams.

Already exhausted, Hope Williams staggered back from the slap and fell to the ground.

“What are you doing, Chairman Lewis?” Director Woods and several doctors quickly went over to help Hope Williams up.
