Chapter 1769 Antidote Or Poison
After hearing that, Evan let go of the director.
“This is more like it. You’re a hospital director, so you should try to save as many people as you can. Only then will there be more patients—”
Before Nicole could finish her sentence, the director interrupted, “It’s also our motto to save as many lives as we can. I was frustrated because of the family members of the patients. Otherwise, I wouldn’t talk like this.”
Looking at him in confusion, Nicole asked, “Did you encounter a difficult-to-treat patient?”
“Yes! Our hospital can’t cure the patient’s disease, but the family members…” The director cast a brief look at Evan before continuing, “The family members are just like him, threatening us to save the patient or they’ll set our hospital on fire.”
At that, he took another glance at Evan and let out a sigh.
“What kind of disease is it?”
“I’ve never seen that kind of disease before. The patient would feel cold one moment and turn hot the next.”
That’s the symptom of being poisoned. Were they poisoned in Daemonic Mount?
Evan and Nicole shared the same thought.
It seems like quite a lot of people go to Daemonic Mount to hunt for treasure. If the powder in my hand is the antidote, I should make a few more to save more people after researching the ingredients.
Using the hospital’s research room, Nicole started her analysis.
The director was surprised to see how familiar Nicole was with the testing equipment.
“Is she a professional doctor?”
Evan shot him a look and replied, “She’s a miracle doctor.”
Miracle doctor?
“In which field? Can she bring the dead back to life? Can she save the two dying patients in my hospital?”
Immediately, Evan responded, “No!”
The director was rendered speechless.
Can she still be considered a miracle doctor if she can’t save them?
The director’s gaze traveled between Evan and Nicole. To him, Evan was the embodiment of the devil. He would torture someone just because they rejected him. It would be weird if such a cruel person like him agreed to help.
Subsequently, he observed Nicole, remembering what she said earlier about saving people. Maybe there’s a chance that she’ll help if I ask her.
Thinking of that, he walked over to Nicole when Evan was not paying attention and talked to her about it.
“You’re a miracle doctor?”
She took a glance at him but did not answer.
Moments later, the director piped up, “You’re the one who said doctors have to save as many lives as possible. Since you’re a miracle doctor, can you save the two patients in my hospital?”
Obviously, Nicole did not expect the director to say that. If I refuse, doesn’t that mean I’m contradicting myself?
Seeing that there was no response from her, the director continued to flatter her, “A miracle doctor like you must have higher medical ethics than us ordinary doctors. From the story you told me earlier, I know that you’re a good-natured and selfless person. What is your condition to save them? If you can save their lives, you can use the equipment in our hospital anyhow you like in the future. Is that okay?”
His words put Nicole in a quandary. It’s not that I’m unwilling to save them, but I’m unsure if I can do that. I don’t even know if this powder is an antidote or a poison!
Just then, Evan came over and immediately rejected the director when he heard the latter’s words.
“She won’t save those two patients!”
As soon as the director heard what Evan had said, his face immediately fell. “Just now, you’re talking about saving people, but now, you’re leaving them to die.”
Evan fixed his gaze on the director and enunciated, “Those two patients were poisoned because they were greedy. They should pay the price for their greed.”
Poisoned? No wonder I’ve never seen such a strange disease. It turns out that they were poisoned. But even if they were poisoned, we still need to cure them. Otherwise, their family members will surely make a fuss about it.
