Chapter 94 - The Kindness of a Doctor

As Zhao Xiukai finished his words, a chill suddenly struck him like ice, hitting his back. Although his eyes could not see through the scene behind him, his intuition pointed to a certain direction like a sharp blade - where Si Shenxing was. At this moment, Zhao Xiukai suddenly remembered that Xia Zhuozhuo was the person who was personally guaranteed by Si Shenxing. His slander of Xia Zhuozhuo was undoubtedly indirectly questioning Si Shenxing's vision. When he thought of Si Shenxing's identity and status, Zhao Xiukai couldn't help but feel panic in his heart, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead in an instant. Just as he racked his brains to think about how to save the situation, an unpleasant voice interrupted his thoughts: "What are you talking about here?" Si Shenxing was about to teach Zhao Xiukai a lesson, but he was suddenly stunned. The words that were about to come out seemed to be strangled by an invisible force. A doctor stood up with an indignant look and defended Xia Zhuozhuo: "Dr. Xia is a skilled doctor. We are willing to give her the position of chief surgeon." The Zhao family was stunned when they heard this. They knew that Director Chen was the authority of the cardiac surgery department of the Central Hospital, and the Central Hospital was famous to a large extent due to Director Chen. The doctor saw the Zhao family's puzzled expression and became even more indignant: "Everyone in the operating room has witnessed Dr. Xia's surgical skills. Director Chen is now even willing to be Dr. Xia's assistant. If it weren't for Dr. Xia's help, you might not have received a critical illness notice, but a death notice." At this point, the doctor glared at Zhao Xiukai sternly: "Please respect Dr. Xia! It was she who tried her best in the operating room and saved patients from death many times." Zhao Xiukai was dumbfounded when he heard this and was speechless for a while. He never expected that the seemingly ordinary woman actually possessed such extraordinary medical skills, and was recognized by Director Chen. Not only Director Chen, but even this doctor praised Xia Zhuozhuo. Being able to win the respect of his peers in such a short time is enough to prove that Xia Zhuozhuo's medical skills are extraordinary. For a moment, Zhao Xiukai's face was intertwined with embarrassment, shock and shame. He knew how stupid his words were just now, but it was irreversible. At this time, Mr. Zhao quickly stood up to smooth things over for his son: "Doctor Xia, I'm really sorry. My son is ignorant and outspoken. Please be generous and don't argue with him." Si Shenxing stood aside and said expressionlessly: "You should be thankful that you are Zhao Zhuo's apprentice. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to say these words." Mr. Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and muttered to himself: "Zhuozhuo? Could it be that Doctor Xia?" Only then did he realize that Xia Zhuozhuo was not only a doctor with superb medical skills, but also Zhao Ti's master. Who is this woman who can both paint and save people? Zhao Xiukai also heard the deep meaning in Si Shenxing's words. He understood that if it weren't for the master-disciple relationship between Xia Zhuozhuo and Zhao Ti, Xia Zhuozhuo would not be here at all. They should be grateful that she was willing to help. However, he repeatedly spoke rudely to Xia Zhuozhuo... Zhao Xiukai's face was uncertain, and his heart was full of regret. Si Shenxing recalled the doctor's momentum when he defended Xia Zhuozhuo, and couldn't help but hold his forehead. He had a feeling that he seemed to have been robbed of the limelight again. A Mai walked to Si Shenxing and whispered: "Master, Xia Liuli's matter..." "Let's talk about it when the old man wakes up." Si Shenxing interrupted A Mai. He was full of confidence in Xia Zhuozhuo and believed that Zhao Ti would be rescued. Seeing that Si Shenxing's people did not continue to question him, he was slightly relieved. , As long as Zhao Ti died, this matter would be over. Recalling the past, Xia Liuli couldn't help but feel a wave of regret. If she had known it would be so troublesome, she should have given the medicine directly to Zhao Ti. In that way, she could not only win the favor of the Zhao family, but also avoid the current predicament. However, after thinking about it, Xia Liuli felt that she didn't regret it. If Zhao Ti really died, Xia Zhuozhuo would definitely blame herself in pain. Seeing Xia Zhuozhuo's painful look, she felt happy. After all, if Xia Zhuozhuo hadn't appeared in the future with Xia Huaijin, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere outside the operating room became more and more tense. Everyone waited anxiously, hoping that the operation would be successful. Finally, the door of the operating room slowly opened. This time, it was not the previous doctor who came out, but Xia Zhuozhuo, Director Chen and other medical staff who followed behind her. Seeing this, everyone immediately greeted him. Si Shenxing also stood up from his chair and walked quickly to Xia Zhuozhuo: "Doctor Xia, how is my dad?" Xia Zhuozhuo looked at the anxiously waiting people, and a warm current surged in her heart. She didn't expect that after her visit, the Zhao family's attitude towards her had changed so much. She smiled and said: "The operation was successful, but he still needs to be closely observed after the operation. Don't worry, I will do my best to ensure his recovery." Hearing Xia Zhuozhuo's words, the Zhao family and his wife were so excited that they almost fell to the ground. They said with gratitude: "Thank you Doctor Xia for saving our lives! Our Zhao family has nothing to repay! In the future, if Doctor Xia needs any help from our Zhao family, just ask!" Xia Zhuozhuo quickly supported the two people who were about to kneel down: "You don't have to do this. He is my apprentice's grandfather, I should do my best." Zhao Xiukai was on the side, both excited and embarrassed. He knew very well how inappropriate his previous words and deeds were, and at this moment he could only say with gratitude: "Thank you, Dr. Xia! Your kindness will be forever unforgettable to our Zhao family!" Xia Zhuozhuo nodded gently and suddenly walked towards Xia Liuli. Seeing this, Xia Liuli was shocked and almost couldn't control her impulse to turn around and run away. However, reason finally defeated fear. She stood there pretending to be calm and asked naturally: "What's the matter?" Xia Zhuozhuo didn't answer, but grabbed her hand. The other hand gently lifted her sleeve and exposed her wrist. "What are you doing?!" Xia Liuli shouted in horror. She didn't understand why Xia Zhuozhuo treated her like this. Xia Zhuozhuo stared at her wrist sharply, and then slowly said: "This scar on your wrist, is it left by the fire that year?" Xia Liuli was stunned when she heard the words, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart. She didn't know why Xia Zhuozhuo suddenly brought up this matter, let alone what she was going to do next. Xia Zhuozhuo looked at her and continued, "You deliberately caused that fire to frame me. Do you think I don't know?" Xia Liuli's face turned pale as paper when she heard this. She didn't expect that after so many years, Xia Zhuozhuo still remembered this matter. She didn't expect that she would suddenly bring it up at this time. "You... you are talking nonsense!" Xia Liuli shouted fiercely. She tried to use her voice to cover up her inner fear and panic. However, Xia Zhuozhuo was unmoved. She said coldly, "Whether it is nonsense or not, you know it best. Although you successfully framed me for the fire that year, the truth will never be covered up." At this point, Xia Zhuozhuo sighed softly, "I didn't want to mention this matter at this time, but since you showed up, I have to say it. It's time to pay off what you owe me." Xia Liuli trembled when she heard this. She looked at Xia Zhuozhuo's cold eyes, as if she saw her own doomsday. She understood that she could not escape this time... Xia Liuli pulled her hand away suddenly, and Xia Zhuozhuo narrowed his cold eyes slightly: "Who left that scratch on your wrist?"
