Chapter 26 - The fire

"The patients are loosing too much blood! They won't make it in time!" The doctors panicked.

" No more talk! We have to save all of them! Take them in the emergency department! HURRY!!" Ae Rin ran, pushing two stretchers with two blood soaked and wounded patients to the emergency department while the other doctors and nurses followed closely behind her bringing a few other patients in.

"I will go prepare things at the operating room. Bring the patients with the most wounds or blood loss to me! Go!!" She commanded the nurses and ran off to the operating room.

Just an hour ago, the peaceful life of the people were destroyed by a fire which broke out in an apartment which unfortunately spread out in the whole building, causing many to burn down to their bones and others to be brutally burnt and a few of them were mauled beyond recognition. The victims were taken to the nearest hospital, which was luckily the hospital where Ae Rin works. The horrifying number of brutally injured victims shook the doctors to the core.

"Her heartbeat is stabilizing! Thank God!" The doctors sighed in relief after their success.

"Let's go to the next patient!" Ae Rin hurriedly ran to the next patient.

"Wait....this person is already dead... If only I was faster!" Ae Rin pounded her fist on the wall in frustration and anger.

"Dr. Rin!! Please come here!" A nurse on the other side of the room yelled out as she panicked at the sight of the ECG machine of the patient beside her.

Ae Rin was about to run towards the patient but she stopped in her tracks when...

*Teeeeeeet*

The ECG machine showed flatline, which meant that the patient's heartbeat had stopped.

"He is also...dead.." She sighed heavily and furrowed her eyebrows.

Then she took a deep breath and shouted, "All the doctors and nurses. I request you all to leave this room at once! I will do the operations myself!"

"WHAT?! Have you gone mad? How can you do it alone?!" One of the doctors said.

"Don't worry about that! Just have faith in me. And if anyone of these people die, then I will myself resign from this hospital and never come back! I promise." She looked deep into their eyes.

They hesitated for a moment and then decided to trust her. As soon as they were gone, she immediately covered the lense of the CCTV cameras of the room with pieces of cloth.

Then she stood at the centre of the room, with all the wounded and unconscious patients surrounding her and took a few deep breaths before releasing her powers.

But this time, she made sure that it wasn't too suspicious. They were all saved quickly but there were a few stitches here and there on the victim's body to make it look like as if she actually performed the surgeries. After 20 minutes, she emerged out of the room, with blood on her scrub, pretending to have done the surgery.

"It's done. You can go in now." She said confidently.

All the curious eyes rushed inside the room and gasped in shock.

"Is this for real?! She saved them all within just 20 minutes?!"

"This is unbelievable!"

"And she saved all of the living victims! I can't believe my eyes!"

They talked among themselves in disbelief.

"She is a god gifted doctor!!" They turned to look at her.

"More like 'satan gifted' " She pretended to smile as she mumbled to herself.
