The Surgeon’s Studio

Many of the images had long been forgotten and were not important. However, he did not know why he would remember them at this moment.

“Boss, it’s done.”

“Okay.” Zheng Ren looked at the radiographic films and replied casually.

After a short conversation, Su Yun went to sterilize and put on his sterile clothes.

“Zou Jiahua, right?” the cheerful girl came to his side and asked gently.

“I am.” Zou Jiahua was even more absent-minded.

How many years had it been since someone called him by his first name? Was he not Zou Jiahua? Then who was Zou Jiahua?

This kind of philosophical problem, an unsolvable philosophical problem, suddenly appeared in his mind.

“It’s time to turn on the light. Close your eyes for a while,” the girl said.

Zou Jiahua wanted to smile to show that he was calm and collected. However, the muscles on his face were stiff like rocks. He did not move at all.

He was nervous, especially nervous. Zou Jiahua was far from the calm and collected image that he had imagined.

“It’s okay. Turn on the lights,” Zou Jiahua said expressionlessly. He turned his head slightly to the side, not looking at the shadowless lamp above his head.

“Oh, okay. Then be careful. Don’t be scared,” the girl said.

At the same time, the shadowless lamp was turned on.

Although he had turned his head, he still closed his eyes subconsciously.

A white light flashed in front of his eyes. It was as if he saw heaven — there was bliss, flowers in full bloom, and freedom.

It would be great if he could be so safe and happy after he died.

Zou Jiahua thought all of this, as if he was in a trance.

Ever since the shadowless lamp was turned on, Zou Jiahua had fallen into a strange state. He did not dare to sleep. His desire to survive desperately supported him to stay awake.

But after dozens of hours and three consecutive sudden deaths, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

Hopefully, this was the true holy light. He could be purified by this holy light, and the bewitching spell, curse, or Gu poison that was in his body would be eliminated.

The left side of his neck felt a slight chill. Zou Jiahua heard Zheng Ren’s words as if he was telling him not to move.

“Doctor Zheng, were you nervous when you performed the surgery on Dr. Mehar?” Zou Jiahua still wanted to say something to prevent himself from falling asleep unconsciously.

The desire to sleep and the fear mixed together, causing Zou Jiahua to fall into a dilemma.

“Dr. Mehar’s surgery was quite difficult, but there’s no need for you to be nervous,” Zheng Ren said. “It’s just a surgery, and it went very smoothly.”

Zheng Ren was perfunctory, and his words were not smooth. It was obvious that he had not thought about it.

“I read the information and it said that you were nominated for the Nobel Prize this year. Is it possible for you to get it?” Zou Jiahua randomly found a topic to talk about.

“Yiren, turn on the pacemaker. You can go out now. It’s time to step on the line.” Zheng Ren said.

“Okay.” Xie Yiren answered crisply.

“Is the damage to the body caused by the X-rays big?” Zou Jiahua continued to randomly find a topic to talk about. He felt that his brain was already starting to go numb. It was as if the curse, the bewitching spell, and the Gu poison were about to explode again.

And this time, he would die.

No one answered his questions.

If it were any other time, Zou Jiahua would be furious. Who would dare to treat him so coldly?!

But now, lying on the operating table of the 912 hospital in the Imperial Capital, the unfamiliar and cold operating table seemed to be telling him the true meaning of life.

Zou Jiahua was stunned. He was silent for a moment before he asked again, “Doctor Zheng, don’t you need general anesthesia for the surgery? Will I feel pain?”

“The surgery is done. Do you feel pain?”

What… the surgery… was done?

Zou Jiahua was stunned.

He felt a chill on his neck. Then, he smelled a bit of blood. It was not very heavy, but it was there. He could even imagine the fresh blood spurting out from the carotid artery on his neck. It was full of vitality and the iron-like smell of blood.

“Do you treat patients with such casual jokes? To be honest, this joke is not funny,” Zou Jiahua said coldly.

He was already starting to be unhappy.

It was rare for him, who was very shrewd, to express his unhappiness so clearly.

“Do you want to lie here and sleep?” Su Yun’s voice was so ear-piercing in Zou Jiahua’s ears.

Young people, arrogant and despotic, were simply too impudent. Zou Jiahua thought this.

“Use a stretcher trolley to push him back.” Zheng Ren suddenly said, “Actually, it’s okay to walk back, but it’s better to take it seriously.”

Take it seriously… He finally heard this word, but why did he feel that something was wrong?

How long had it been since the shadowless lamp was turned on?

Ten minutes? It could not be that long.

Five minutes?

Three minutes?

All the negative emotions that Zou Jiahua had been suppressing burst out in an instant.

But lying on the operating table, this feeling of being on the chopping block made him suppress his negative emotions again.

‘When I go back, I’ll definitely teach you all a lesson!’ Zou Jiahua thought to himself.

The health care group was just a part of the ancient Imperial Hospital. Did they really think that they could not touch a junior doctor?

However, there was no need for that. The members of the health care group were not gold medallions that could avoid death.

He originally thought that he would receive the best treatment, but he was actually deceived by someone! What was a few minutes enough for?!

Although Zou Jiahua was not a doctor, it involved life and death. He had already understood the entire process of a pacemaker-implanted operation, as well as all kinds of complications and matters that needed attention after the operation.

The health care doctor beside him, Lin Yuansheng, said that the operation that involved the insertion of a heart pacemaker was not a big one, but it would take at least one hour.

Moreover, the new pacemaker was charged with a biological current. He was actually not even familiar with it and was just about to put the pacemaker inside.

It was really… too much!

Zou Jiahua was already angry. It was only because he was lying on the operating table that he held back the anger in his heart and waited to talk about it after he got out.

It was never too late to take revenge!

“Move yourself to the stretcher trolley,” Su Yun said.

“Let’s carry Mr. Zou over,” Lin Yuansheng said in a low voice. He did not have much strength.

“No need. We can walk back. Just move yourself.” Su Yun waved his hand. “You can take your Mr. Zou back. There’s nothing else.”

Zou Jiahua had never been looked down upon like this before!

He glanced at the stretcher trolley beside him. The bedding on it was so simple and crude. In his eyes, everything here was like an object taken out of the slums.

He moved over stubbornly. Zou Jiahua lay on the stretcher trolley and was pushed away.

After leaving the operating theater and breathing in the air outside, Zou Jiahua felt a little better.

Zou Yu asked him things, but he could not be bothered to answer. He thought that the operation might have failed, but what should he do next?

There had been no clues for so many years in Nanyang. No matter how much it cost, he could not find a master who could solve it.

He felt a little sad.

Was his life going to end now?

After returning to the special demands ward and lying on the bed, Zou Jiahua felt very tired.

His heart felt so tired too, and so his body was also generally tired.

He really wanted to fall sleep, but once he lay down, would he be able to get up and see the sun rise the next day?
