"Hmm."
Elly Campbell just responded indifferently and continued to examine Lily Jones.
Afterwards, she straightened up, took off her stethoscope, and said to Lily Jones, "Your heart can't withstand any more strain, it's best to arrange the surgery immediately, your family should find an opportunity to discuss it."
Her tone was entirely that of a doctor, completely excluding herself from the word "family."
Elly Campbell had never spoken to her in such a tone before. In the past, to make her say a few good words in front of her brother, she could tolerate her over and over again.
Now, Lily Jones was clearly not used to, nor willing to accept, such an attitude from Elly Campbell.
"This is my business; you don't need to interfere."
"I am only speaking as a doctor, ethically obligated to inform you of the situation. Whether you want to listen or not is up to you."
