Chapter 27 - I Was Only Doing My Job

The car that brought Fernando arrived at the hospital first. He then got off and waited for the ambulance carrying the patient and Viona to arrive. Shortly thereafter, the ambulance arrived. Viona immediately jumped down with her messy clothes.

All the doctors who greeted Viona seemed very surprised to see her appearance. She looked so different from what they were used to seeing. Even though her clothes were torn, her beauty could not be hidden.​​

Fernando immediately helped push the patient who was brought by Viona to the emergency room, while Viona herself was not aware of the man's presence.

She was already very busy giving orders for immediate follow-up. As soon as he arrived in the emergency room, Fernando was stopped by several nurses along with the young doctor who yelled at Viona earlier.

Only Viona and a few nurses could enter. Not long after that, a nurse ran to get a green operation gown for Viona. Quickly, the girl put on her surgical gown and then got ready to perform the operation. The best doctors at Global Bross Hospital finally performed the emergency surgery.

A nurse came out of the operating room and made the people sitting outside the room look shocked as well as Fernando.

The man was faithfully waiting outside with his assistants. Not long after that, the nurse who had come out of the operating room came back carrying two bags of blood.

She went back into the operating room without answering the questions of the people who were wondering how the surgery was going. Six hours later, the lights that indicated the operation had finally turned off, several doctors came out one by one as well as Viona, who looked very tired.

Viona walked limply along with several other doctors. She slowly opened the mask that covered her face until it showed a pale and tired face. Even though Viona had removed her makeup before entering the operation room, it didn't reduce her charm.

The families of the victims and the police who had arrived did not even dare to ask the doctors. They could tell how tired the doctors were after doing the surgery for almost 6 hours.

A nurse who came out of the operating room last told the patient's family that the operation went well. They just needed to wait for the victim to wake up. Then, she went to join the tired doctors.

When the door to the doctor's lounge was opened by the nurse, people who were waiting outside the operating room could see the doctors who had just done the operation looking very tired. They could see Viona who was sitting on the floor leaning against the wall with her eyes closed.

Several senior doctors who heard about the incident immediately went to the operating room and checked the condition of the patient who was past her critical period. Then they chatted with Viona and a doctor who assisted her with the surgery.

"Congratulations, Doctor Viona. You did well!" said the middle-aged doctor, trying to hug Viona. The girl instinctively dodged him. She wasn't comfortable because she wanted to clean herself. She was exposed to the victim's blood and wanted to wash up.

Her response made the other doctor furrow his brow. He thought Viona was being rude by avoiding his hug.

"Doctor Viona!" shouted a senior doctor calling Viona, who rose from her seat to leave the lounge.

The patient's family, the police, and Fernando could clearly hear the doctor's words, shouting at Viona. Fernando walked closer to the doctor because he wanted to find out why the senior doctor was talking loudly to Viona.

"Yes, Sir?" Viona stopped in her tracks and turned around. "What is it?"

"Is that how you behave in front of your seniors!!" snapped the doctor who wanted to hug Viona earlier. He looked so offended.

"What do you mean?" Asked Viona confused because she did not understand the direction of the doctor's conversation.

"Don't act so arrogant here just because you have done a successful surgery," said the doctor with his hands akimbo.

"Yes, you are too arrogant, Doctor Viona. He just wanted to congratulate you. Must you avoid him like a plague? That's just so rude," added another male doctor.

Viona was silent, trying to understand the words uttered by the men around her. Soon a faint smile appeared on her lips, as she stared at them daringly.

"I was only doing my job, and I did it well. Is there a problem?" Viona asked casually.

"But your attitude just now shows that you are very arrogant, Doctor Viona," replied the senior doctor furiously. "I just wanted to congratulate you… yet, you treat me like I was harassing you."

"I think if all of you sincerely want to congratulate me on the surgery, you can just say it with words or you can shake my hand. You don't need to hug me. Not everyone is comfortable with body contact," said Viona, while leaning against the wall.
