Jasmine's POV
We finished the surgery and I helped doctor Alex in stitching the skin covering the skull and I wrapped the bandages round her head.
"How are the patient's vitals Susan?" Doc Alex asked.
"Normal Sir" Susan replied and I smiled
"Andrew, you and Susan should move the patient back to her room and Jasmine, you come with me" Doc Alex said as he took some of the patients blood with an injection needle and dropped it in his pocket.
I wonder what he's going to use it for.
I followed doc Alex out of the Operation Room and the Prime Minister quickly rushed to us.
"What on Earth happened and how is my daughter? I warned you right, if anything happens to my daughter I'll ruin your life" the prime minister said.
"I am sorry Sir, but you shouldn't make such threats to Doctor Alex" I said.
"Why won't I when I received a note that he plans on killing my daughter during the surgery now how is my daughter?!!" He yelled.
"What!" Doc Alex said surprised just like I am "what note are you talking about?" he asked and the Prime Minister quickly gave him the note.
"Now tell me what the hell happened during the surgery and how is my daughter?" He yelled.
"There was an unexpected heart attack during the surgery but it was successful" doc Alex said.
The door to the O. R opened and Susan and Andrew wheeled the patient to her room and the Prime Minister quickly followed them.
"Follow me" Doc Alex said and I followed him back to his office.
"How did you know about Lovenox, the drug I was taking?" He asked.
"I said it before, I saw it when you dropped it on the table the moment I came in."
"So you want me to believe you saw the name that was written on a tiny drug from afar."
"I wasn't that far, I was just by the door and I guess I have pretty sharp eyes" I said.
"Do you know what the drug is used for?" He asked.
"It has multiple uses, it can be used for heart attack just like we did, stroke patients do take it sometimes, its also for tremors and patients undergoing any abdominal treatment" I answered and he smiled.
"You're pretty smart" he said and I smiled.
"Aren't you going to ask why I am taking the drugs?" He asked.
"I wanted to but then and today again, I also want to respect your privacy" I replied.
"Thanks Jasmine, for everything, the surgery wouldn't have been successful without you" he said and I smiled.
"Just doing my job though I never expected her to get a heart attack, heart attack is not part of the symptoms of brain tumor patients" I said.
"Yeah, that's why I suspect that the patient must have been given some drugs or injections that induced the heart attack" he said.
"But I personally did the blood test and you saw the result too, if the patient had such kind of drug in her system, it would have shown in the result.
"I took some of the patient's blood after the surgery" he said as he brought out the injection needle containing the patient's blood "perform the blood test again with this and bring the result to me."
"Yes doctor" I said as I collected it from him and I turned to leave.
"Jasmine" he called and I looked back.
"Thanks" he said again and I smiled.
Susan's POV
🗨️ "What do you mean the plan failed?" Ryan asked over the phone obviously getting angry.
"I followed all your instructions Ryan, I took all the hospital's supply of Heparin, delivered the letter to the Prime Minister and injected the patient with heart attack drug."
🗨️ "Then how did the plan fail?"
"It's all because of Jasmine, she brought another drug that contained Heparin"
🗨️ "I thought I instructed you to get her kicked out of Alex's surgery team!!" He yelled.
"I am really sorry Ryan, I did everything I could but Alex didn't kick her out of the team."
🗨️ "Do you know what I hate the most? Excuses!" He said angrily and ended the call.
I sighed as I put the phone back in my pocket.
Alex was just lucky today, he won't be so lucky next time.
Alex's POV
The door of my office opened and Jasmine came in
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't knock again" she said.
"It's fine" I said, "have you conducted the blood test?"
"Yeah, here's the result" she said as she gave me the result. "It shows many drugs were present in her blood during the surgery and it's not a surprise since she was injected with lots of drugs during anaesthesia."
"But look here, there's Cemptrofin" I said and she moved closer to me to see the result.
"What's Cemptrofin?" She asked but I couldn't answer.
Why the hell do I find it hard to breathe whenever she's so close to me!
"Doctor?" She asked looking at me and I almost lost myself staring at her.
"Can you..... move...move back a little?" I stuttered.
"Ohh, I'm sorry" she said as she quickly moved back. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
"It's okay"
"So what's Cemptrofin?" She asked again
"It's a banned drug"
"Banned?" She asked
"Yeah, it was banned when the WHO realized that Cemptrofin blocks all the artery in the body thereby stopping blood flow and inducing heart failure" I explained and she gasped.
"But.... But the drug was not shown in the result of the first blood test."
"That means someone injected her with the drug just before surgery" I said.
"But who? Not everyone had access to the Prime Minister's daughter, it only all of us in your surgery team that had access to hers."
"I guess we'll just have to find out then."
There was suddenly a knock on the door.
"Come in" I said and Susan came in.
"The Prime Minister has an urgent meeting so he is leaving now and he wants to see you before he goes" she said and I nodded.
"I'll be right there" I said and Susan left.
"We'll talk later" I said to Jasmine and walked out of the office.
I got to the VVIP room the Prime Minister's daughter was admitted, I knocked and entered.
"I heard you called for me" I said.
"I have an urgent meeting so I have to leave now but I will be back later. I will station some men outside the room for protection, I'm leaving my daughter in your care" he said.
"She'll be fine" I assured.
"The WHO are going to ask me about you, they'll also ask about the surgery" he said.
"I'm going to tell them the surgery was successful but I am not going to recommend you as the best Neurosurgeon in the world, want to know why?" He asked.
"I am sure you are going to tell me anyway" I said and he smiled then he stood up and walked up to me.
"Every living being has an enemy but the strongest person is the one that knows all his enemies, you have an unknown enemy Alex and until you find out who it is, your patients will always be put in danger and you might not be so lucky next time and you can't hold the position of the best Neurosurgeon when your patients lives are always at risk" he said and I kept quiet.
"Do you think I'm wrong?" He asked.
"No, you are right, I can't afford to keep putting patients lives at risk, I will find out who my enemy is and I will make sure to take away their powers so they won't be of any threat to me or my patients again, then I'll come after the position of the best Neurosurgeon in the world" I said.
"You sound really determined" he said.
"I am an ambitious man after all" I said and he laughed.
"You resemble your father but you've totally got your Mother's stubbornness" he said and I was a bit taken aback.
"You know my parents?" I asked.
"Oh my, would you look at the time, I'm almost late for my meeting, I'll be back later, take care of my daughter" he said and walked out leaving me confused.
