Rest of the doctors and nurses' faces became as white as shit, as to their consternation Mian stood face to face with Qian Juexi!
People couldn't even look at this gangster's face and here, Mian just asked him his name! Displeasing Qian Juexi was not a trivial matter!
Wen Ning: 'Is she going to get us killed here?! I wanna go home! Mommy take me from here! I don't want to take the burnt from Qian Juexi's wrath!' He was overwhelmed with a surge of anxiety, and his expression implied that he might end up crying at any moment.
Gu Chen: 'Oh no! Dr. Mian doesn't know anything about Qian Juexi! I should have stuffed her with information beforehand, even though she refused to know!' He felt jelly between his legs, as he was squeezing and twisting his hands in stress. He already started orchestrating to escape from here, and compromise to a living at the fringe of society.
Xia Chuqing: 'Let's just pray to the Buddha! Nothing is in our hands anymore!' His legs froze on the spot, he became a statue, as if he didn't hear a single word.
Qian Juexi was left speechless for a while, he was struck dumb. As soon as he regained his senses, his face clouded one shade darker. However, before he could say anything, Mian beat him by speaking again,
"Whatever your name is, it doesn't matter anyway. I just want to say, change the narrative in your mind. We don't have any reason not to save your son. I mean, we don't have any animosity with him, do we? Thus, instead of threatening us, why don't you pray for your son's life? In lieu of praying to God, you are just scarring the surgeons, who are going to perform the surgery on your son. Do you have any common sense or not? Don't you think your threat can affect the surgeons' state of mind which will ultimately impact on their performance on the surgery? Even a ten years old child can understand it."
Mian bombarded Qian Juexi with a quick lecture, unconcerned of the man's so-called reputation. There was no trace of fear in her voice, when she said, "Dr. Wen, give me the consent form. Mr. Whatever needs to sign in it, before we proceed for the surgery." Taking a folder from Wen Ning, Mian handed it over to Qian Juexi, and said with unflinching determination, "Sign the papers, ASAP."
Judging by the madness of this person, she could understand why everyone was so afraid to proceed with the surgery. This man would actually destroy the hospital, God forbid if anything inauspicious were to happen.
"I won't sign this bullshit, which states that my son has a ninety five percent chance of not waking up ever again!" Qian Juexi yelled, as he was filled with rage. His whole being was rippled with a furious aura that made everyone instinctively take a step back.
"It states this operation has a five percent survival chance, and we, the surgeons, are proceeding with this with your knowledge." Mian, a woman of insuppressible spirit, corrected Qian Juexi fearlessly. She was totally undaunted by the man, her words just provoked.
The expression on Qian Juexi's furious face escalated to the next level. "Stop playing with words, doctor! It is the same thing, without any difference!" Qian Juexi yelled, his eyes went to the angry clouds. If the doctor wasn't female, he would have punched her to death by now.
"There is actually, the difference of being positive. Your son was severely injured in his frontal lobe, be logical and try to grasp the gravity of it. Time is constrained, slight delay can result in lasting side effects. True, I can't guarantee his life, however, I can assure you that we are going to put the best of our efforts in the surgery. Don't make it harder for him, just sign it." Mian explained with an austere tone of voice, as she looked at the time on the wall clock.
Time was running fast, in thirty minutes, they had to start the surgery. However, the hospital couldn't afford it without a guardian's written acknowledgement, especially when it was a highly risky one.
Suddenly, a blonde bunny appeared from behind Qian Juexi. She wrapped her seemingly boneless arm around his muscular one. Eyes red and misty, with little hiccups, Su Meilin said almost voicelessly, "Sign the papers. They won't go ahead without your signature." As she blinked, two drops of water fell from her eyes, and rolled down on her small adorable face.
There was already tension from yesterday, and it was building up and building up. Su Meilin just didn't want it to boil over before the surgery. If the surgeons weren't in one piece, who would save her son?!
The corners of Wen Ning's eyes twitched twice.
It was hard to believe this docile bunny was the same woman crying in an ear-splitting high pitched voice a few seconds ago!
He could barely keep his face straight while witnessing it. Luckily, he had his surgical mask on, to cover the part of his body which landed him in troubles way too many times, as the traitor always revealed his thoughts.
Qian Juexi felt like his head was going to explode; he grabbed the papers from Mian's hand and quickly signed on it.
This new surgeon thought she could make a monkey out of him, Qian Juexi?! However, she would get another thought coming, if she couldn't save his son!
His line of business wasn't legal anyway, if these surgeons failed to save his son, he would destroy them from the dark without leaving any clue behind. A piece of paper could never prevent that!
"Now just move aside, you are wasting our precious time. Every second is being counted here at this point." Mian dismissed Qian Juexi who was standing in their way.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the sobbing Su Meilin, her heart softened a bit, as she distinctly remembered how her strong mother cried loudly at top of her lungs when her brother had died. At that time, she herself was very bereaved, and in no condition to offer any conciliatory words to her mother.
