Everyone at the door of the operating room turned their eyes in unison to Su Mu.
Su Mu walked over with his assistant and a female nurse wearing a nurse's uniform and a surgical mask.
The corners of Wen Shiyu's lips curled into a mocking smirk. "Su Mu, do you really think you're some kind of miracle doctor? No matter what, Su Guixian is your distant relative. By performing a second craniotomy on him, are you trying to make sure he doesn't even survive another hour?"
As soon as Wen Shiyu spoke, Mother Su glared at Su Mu with a face full of anger. "You're just an ordinary doctor. How could you possibly save my son?"
Su Mu pressed his lips tightly together. In truth, he had no confidence either, but Miss Wen had told him to trust her unconditionally, so he could only follow her instructions.
"Aunt, I can understand how you feel right now, but there is still one last chance in front of you. Are you going to watch Su Guixian die, or are you willing to give me a chance to save him?"
Father Su was the first to recover his senses. He pulled on Mother Su's sleeve. "Guixian's mom, let's treat a dead horse as a living one and take a desperate gamble! If Guixian really can't be saved, we'll just have to accept our fate!"
Mother Su nodded, her face streaming with tears.
She knew very well in her heart that if Guixian died, they wouldn't even need to do anything; his fans would plunge this hospital into eternal ruin.
Seeing that Su Mu was preparing to take his assistant and the nurse into the operating room, Wen Shiyu frowned deeply. "Su Mu, don't you know your own skill level? Don't rush to your doom just to oppose me!"
Su Mu cast a cold glance at Wen Shiyu. "If the surgery fails, I will resign and publicly apologize. I will take all the responsibility upon myself!"
Hearing Su Mu's words, a faint smirk tugged at the corners of Wen Shiyu's lips.
He knew Su Mu's medical skills very well.
Given Su Guixian's current condition, there was absolutely no way Su Mu could save him.
Originally, he had been a little worried that if he failed the surgery on Su Guixian himself, he would be universally condemned.
He hadn't expected his luck to be this incredibly good, someone had actually come to be the scapegoat for him.
Heh, Su Mu was foolish to the extreme!
As the operating room doors closed, Wen Shiyu's gaze inadvertently swept over that female nurse.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the nurse's figure somewhat resembled Wen Yan.
But he knew it could never be Wen Yan. How could Wen Yan possibly know anything about medicine?
In order to witness how Su Mu would fail, Wen Shiyu called over all the medical staff in the department.
He even had his assistant post online to deliberately incite the emotions of Su Guixian's fans.
Su Guixian had suddenly gotten a nosebleed and fainted on the ground while promoting his new drama.
He was rushed to the hospital for an examination, which revealed a tumor growing in his brain.
In just a few short months, he had become severely ill.
If he didn't have surgery, he probably wouldn't live to see the end of the year.
Therefore, Su Guixian's parents were willing to take the risk to let him have the surgery.
...
It was very quiet inside the operating room.
Wen Yan stood beside Su Mu, guiding him through the entire surgery.
Throughout the whole process, she was extremely calm and composed, not at all looking like someone in her early twenties. Whenever Su Mu's fingers trembled, she would grasp his hand in time to steady him.
Even though she was so much younger than him, she possessed a magical ability to make people feel calm and focused.
Time ticked by minute by minute. The people outside the operating room had been waiting for nearly five hours.
Wen Shiyu wrung his hands together, pacing back and forth.
Out in the corridor, besides the Su family, there were also many doctors and nurses wearing white coats.
As time passed, some doctors whispered among themselves:
"It's impossible for Su Mu to succeed, right? But five hours have passed and the operating room door still hasn't opened. What exactly is he doing in there?"
"Could he have killed the patient during the treatment and is now too afraid to come out and face everyone?"
"I used to think Su Mu was mature and steady, but looking at him today, he's too eager for quick success. Even if he wants to surpass Director Wen, he shouldn't joke around with a human life!"
Wen Shiyu glanced at Father Su and Mother Su, curling his lips with interest. "Perhaps he's relying on the fact that he's a distant relative of the Su family to use Su Guixian as an experiment. Even if he fails, the Su family won't be able to blame him out of consideration for their familial ties. It's just a pity for Su Guixian. Who knows if his head will even be intact after the surgery?"
Hearing this, Father Su and Mother Su's minds buzzed, and they saw stars swimming before their eyes.
Su Mu's medical skills couldn't even compare to Wen Shiyu's. How could he possibly succeed?
They had truly turned to any doctor they could find in their desperation, and it had doomed their son!
Father Su and Mother Su, with grief-stricken faces, were just about to pound on the operating room door when suddenly,
The light above the operating room went out, and the door was pushed open.
Su Mu walked out.
After a five-hour-long surgery with his nerves highly strained, Su Mu looked exhausted and haggard. He was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Seeing Su Mu's expression, a cold sneer curled on Wen Shiyu's lips. "Su Mu, I told you not to push yourself. Now you've treated Su Guixian to death, depriving his parents of even the chance to say goodbye. You truly are unworthy of being a doctor who saves lives!"
The hospital director, having heard the news, walked over. He was extremely disappointed in Su Mu. "The consequences of this matter will be borne by Su Mu alone! Once this incident blows over, you no longer need to come to work at the hospital!"
Mother Su's legs gave way as she threw herself at Su Mu, her hands pounding heavily against him. "Give me back my son! You murderer, I'm going to tell the whole world that you made my son suffer a second time! I don't have a distant nephew like you! I hate you! Give me back my son"
Su Mu was too exhausted to speak, but the assistant behind him couldn't bear to watch any longer and angrily interrupted Mother Su. "Who said Su Guixian is dead? The surgery was very successful! The tumor in Su Guixian's brain was successfully removed!"
As soon as the assistant spoke, a deathly silence immediately fell over the corridor.
After an unknown amount of time, Mother Su let out an exclamation. "You, you're saying my son's surgery was a success?"
Su Mu and the assistant nodded at the same time. "Yes."
Mother Su and Father Su completely changed their previous grief-stricken and furious attitude, both of them tightly hugging Su Mu.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful! Su Mu, we misunderstood you. Please don't blame your aunt and uncle. We were just too worried about Guixian. You are the true little miracle doctor of Yecheng City Hospital. You brought Guixian back from the brink of death. You are truly amazing."
Su Mu felt a bit guilty.
With his medical skills, he couldn't have saved Su Guixian at all.
It was all Miss Wen's credit. He never expected that Miss Wen would hide her talents so deeply and possess such incredible medical skills!
At such a young age, she had such medical expertise. She was the real miracle doctor!
Wen Yan didn't linger; she quietly left the operating room.
The director and the other doctors hurried into the operating room one after another to check the situation.
Seeing that all of Su Guixian's vital signs had indeed returned to stable levels, everyone was stunned.
But the one who was the most shocked and in disbelief was none other than Wen Shiyu.
He had always thought highly of himself and looked down on Su Mu's medical skills.
But now, Su Mu had actually rescued Su Guixian from the brink of death. This was simply unbelievable!
When did Su Mu's medical skills become this formidable?
He didn't believe it, he didn't believe it at all!
Wen Shiyu immediately went to retrieve the surveillance footage. He discovered that when Su Mu was performing the surgery, it was the female nurse beside him who was providing the guidance.
The nurse spoke softly, making it difficult for him to hear her clearly through the monitor. Yet, it was obvious to him that without her guidance, Su Mu's surgery would never have been a success.
Who exactly was that nurse?
If he could convince her to take him on as her apprentice, wouldn't he be destined to become a true miracle doctor?
