Susan's POV
I went to doctor Tony's office and informed him that Doctor Alex needs his assistance in today's surgery.
I was about going to the O. R went I saw Jasmine sitting down alone and I smiled.
My plan totally worked.
When I did the full body scanning, I found that the lady was pregnant but I deliberately hid it from Jasmine cause I knew to perform the surgery, she will definitely give the patient anaesthesia to lessen the pain and make her sleep off which is actually harmful to the baby.
Everything went as I planned and if I continue making her make mistakes, Doctor Alex will kick her out of her team in no time.
I quickly made a sad face and walked up to Jasmine.
"I am really sorry Jasmine, this is all my fault, I swear I didn't know the lady was pregnant or I would have told you, I must have skipped it in the scanning report, I'm so sorry" I cried.
"It's okay, everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect after all." She said and I smiled.
"And thank you for not telling doctor Alex that I was involved in the surgery." I said.
"It's fine, I was the one that gave her the anaesthesia, I should take the blame alone. You should go, you have a surgery to take part in." She said and I nodded.
I muttered a thanks and left.
I'll call Ryan after the surgery, I deserve a reward for this.
Jasmine's POV
I stayed seated for long as I tried to gather up the courage to go speak to the lady.
I was finally able to get up and I went to the ward where her bed is.
She was lying on her bed and another man was sitting beside her, probably her husband.
I walked up to them and she smiled immediately she saw me.
"Darling, this is the doctor that saved my life, she performed the surgery to repair my leg for me" she said to her husband.
"Thank you for saving my wife's life doctor." The husband said though there was sadness in his voice.
It's obvious he's sad that they lost their child and I felt more guilty.
I quickly went on my kneels and they looked surprised.
"What's wrong Doctor, why are you kneeling down?" Her husband asked.
"Get up please." She said.
"I can't get up unless you've forgiven me ma'am, you didn't loose your pregnancy due to the petrol tanker explosion, you lost it cause of my mistake. I had no idea you were pregnant and I injected you with anesthesia during the surgery and injection is harmful for a foetus so you lost your pregnancy, I am really sorry."
"What!" Her husband said.
"I loosed my baby because of you?" She asked sadly.
"Yes, I am really sorry, I really had no idea you were with a child."
Alex's POV
We finished the surgery and I walked out of the Operating Room.
I was about stepping into the elevator to my office when I had a change of mind and decided to go check on the lady that just had a miscarriage.
Is Jasmine foolish enough to have really gone to tell them the truth?
I was curious...
I went to the patient's ward and saw Jasmine kneeling down in front of the patient and another man, definitely her husband.
The lady on the bed was crying while the husband looked really angry.
"You killed our child." The husband yelled while Jasmine cried.
She is really foolish, I warned her not to tell them, did she really think they were just going to forgive her.
"I'm really sorry, I swear I didn't know she was pregnant, I am so sorry." She cried.
"You should have done some kind of test to know if she's pregnant or not, you should have taken some kind of precautions but you didn't, and cause of your mistake we lost our baby, am going to sue you, all of you!" The husband yelled.
I sighed then I walked up to them and knelt beside Jasmine.
"I am sorry Sir but Jasmine is not entirely at fault, your wife never mentioned she was pregnant too, if she did, Jasmine would never have given her the anesthesia" I said.
"Are you seriously trying to put the blame on my wife right now? She was in so much pain how could she have told her!" He yelled.
"Exactly, now you are getting my point, your wife couldn't tell her cause she was in pain, the same pain Jasmine saw her in that made her rush your wife to the operation room, you don't understand do you? There were so many patients that day that all the doctors were busy, if Jasmine had not rushed your wife to the operation room, no one would have attended to her and she would have died so Jasmine only tried to save your wife, she never wanted to make her loose her unborn child, she just didn't know she was pregnant" I explained hoping to change his mind.
"He's right darling, I would have died along with our baby if Jasmine hadn't help me, please don't sue them to court" the wife begged.
"But we lost our baby sweetheart" he said as he hugged his wife.
"But I am alive thanks to her, and we can always have another one." She said.
The husband then stood up and faced us.
"I..... I forgive you." The husband managed to say.
"Thanks, thank you so much" Jasmine said.
"Let's go" I said as I stood up then I helped her stand up and we walked out of the patient's ward.
"Thanks for coming to help me" Jasmine said.
"Well I had to, you were clearly making a fool of yourself when I had strictly warned you not to tell them anything." I said.
"I had to doctor, that woman trusted me, she trusted whatever we tell her to be the truth so it's my responsibility to always tell her the truth" she said and I shook my head.
"You amaze me Jasmine, you really do and for both our sakes I hope you don't make any mistakes again, we might not be so lucky next time." I said and walked away.
