Chapter 87
They dared to perform surgery at this moment, and even broadcast it live. It must mean they were confident. If the surgery were successful, Donna wouldn’t die, then he would be finished!
Impossible! In that condition, even the best doctor in the world couldn’t save Donna. But without confidence, Riverview Hospital wouldn’t do this..
Two thoughts were pulling at Peter’s mind. He felt like his brain was going to explode.
“Dr. Dunlap, do we need to go see Mr. Donovan?” The assistant trembled, reminding him.

The press conference had ended long ago, but the live broadcast was online, with over a hundred million views in a short time. If the surgery succeeded, it would be a devastating blow to Fraley Hospital. Their hospital’s reputation would be ruined, and the losses would be immeasurable.
Peter’s body went limp, and he slumped into his chair.
It was useless to go to anyone now. The only hope was that the surgery wouldn’t succeed.
He opened his computer, clicked into the live broadcast, and stared fixedly. He repeated. “It won’t succeed, it won’t succeed…
In the hospital director’s office, Nixon had also received the news
“Open the video,” he ordered his secretary.
The live broadcast was displayed on the large, high–tech LCD screen, showing the surgery in greater clarity. He sat in his chair, watching with a
He had confirmed Donna’s condition multiple times before allowing the hospital to hold the press conference. So why would Riverview Hospital proceed with the surgery? And why broadcast it live?
In the Riverview Hospital operating room, Lea placed the kidney in the surgical tray. As she turned her head, she saw a large amount of fresh blood gushing from the wound, just as assessed before the surgery. Once the kidney was removed, it would affect the surrounding arteries, leading to massive bleeding as one of the symptoms.
Several doctors faces instantly changed. Those with weaker psychological endurance had beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads, unable to stand steady.
Even Chris outside the operating room felt her breath catch in her throat.
She trusted Lea wouldn’t do anything without confidence. But seeing this scene, even she seemed flustered.
Chris turned and looked at Alfred, her pupils dilating. She had never seen such a mesmerizing gaze.
Alfred stared unwaveringly into the operating room. His eyes fixed solely on Lea, filled with astonishment and admiration for her ability and talent.
He had never trusted and admired anyone like this before. Chris had followed Alfred for many years, never seeing his judgment go wrong. Len would definitely succeed.
In the operating room, Lea’s eyes didn’t blink as she calmly said, “Transfuse blood and stabilize blood pressure. Monitor heartbeat and breathing.”
After giving instructions, she resumed using the surgical tools, removing necrotic tissue and stopping the bleeding.
“Beep…. Beep… Beep The heart monitor, blood pressure gauge, and ventilator all emitted abnormal alarm sounds. All the data changed drastically. and several doctors panicked, sweating profusely.
“Drop the blood pressure by 10 points. Adjust the dosage lower, Lea calmly ordered.
Lorrand looked at her in surprise. The patient’s vital signs were already abnormal. Further reduction would be even more dangerous. But Lea looked at him with unwavering determination
After confirming her order, Lorrand couldn’t do much else but instruct the doctors to adjust the patient’s condition according to her request
Several doctors finally came to their senses, but they regretted entering the operating room.
If the patient died, they would be doomed. But now, the surgery was being broadcast live. The entire nation would know. No, the entire medical community would be paying attention to this surgery, and the whole world would know. They were truly finished.
Desperately, they listened to the orders and mechanically carried out their tasks. Only Lea remained calm and focused, performing the surgery meticulously, like an emotionless machine.
Outside, Shannon and several others had identified the trending position and were also focusing on the live broadcast.
Her breath grew heavier. She didn’t want Donna to die, especially not on the operating table, which could implicate Lea and affect the hospital.
The barrage of comments on the screen was harsh,
“Massive bleeding!”
“Look at the EGG! The heartbeat is almost gone!”
“Has the blood pressure dropped to zero?”
“Blood pressure, heartbeat, breathing, pulse… they’ve all decreased by half. The patient definitely won’t survive.”
“Fraley Hospital was right. The patient will die on the o operating table”
“What is Riverview Hospital doing? Saving a life or broadcasting death?”
“Is this hospital legitimate?”
“What kind of doctors are they? Why don’t they show their faces?
“Everyone, take a screenshot and save the video. We’ll report them later!”
Tve already called the police. I can’t bear to watch anymore.”
The comments kept going.
When reading the comments, they heard a commotion coming from the corridor.
“We are reporters. We have the right to know the truth about the surgery, let us through!”
“Are you not letting us through because you’re afraid we’ll witness the patient dying on the operating table?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“Is your hospital insisting on performing this impossible surgery because the patient lacks connections?”
“Does the patient still have a heartbeat?”
“Has the surgery stopped?”
“We demand to see the truth!”
“Let us through!”
The reporters persisted.
They held microphones and cameras. They rushed towards the operating room.
in thei
Hospital security guards stood in their way, along with receptionists, nurses, and medical staff, all united in blocking them.
“The surgery is still ongoing. You can’t go in. It will affect the surgery!”
“The hospital will give you an explanation. Please stay here.”
“Don’t affect the surgery. It’s a matter of life and death. Please!”
They tried to stop the reporters,
It was already a nationwide focus event, with every piece of information attracting massive attention.
Some reporters directly stepped forward, blocking the security guards and allowing their colleagues to push through
Shannon watched in disbelief as the cameramen rushed towards the operating room.
She shouted to those around her, “Quick! Stop them! Don’t let them into the operating room.”
Several people quickly reacted, realizing that these individuals were attempting to break down the door to the operating room to film. They threw their laptops aside and rushed over.
Shannon was already blocking the doorway, her arms outstretched against the door frame. “The surgery is still in progress. You can’t………”
Then, Shannon was forcibly pulled out and slammed against the wall, her head hitting hard.
She struggled to stand up, knowing she had to stop them from gening in.
Suddenly, the person who had thrown her was thrown back against the wall, and the camera he was carrying fell and shattered.
As Shannon looked up, she saw a young man standing at the door of the operating room, wearing a white coat with a black leather jacket underneath.
This was the man who had brought her to the hospital before, Craig
He had just kicked the person who attacked her,
Craig held a security guard’s baton and stared at the reporters trying to break into the operating room. His gaze was sharp and filled with murderous intent. Tll break your leg if you take another step!”
His swift and fierce actions had everyone intimidated.
“Wewe just want to see the progress of the surgery, to understand the truth…one reporter protested meekly.
Suddenly, Craig kicked him in the leg, and the reporter fell to his knees.
He pointed the baton at the reporter’s throat. “Break into the operating room to understand the truth? Who gave you the right?” He looked up at all the reporters on the stairs, “Who gave you the right?”
Suddenly, none of the reporters dared to step forward
On the other side, Eddie turned to Alfred. “Mr. Andrews, how should we handle those reporters outside?”
Craig could stop them but causing a commotion in the hospital wouldn’t be ideal
