Chapter 258 - Back To The Hospital

Frank's luxury blue sports car entered the Global Bross Hospital area. The handsome professor got a call from the emergency room that an accident had happened to a car carrying a small family. Both parents suffered minor injuries due to the airbags, but their two children were seriously injured and needed immediate help. 

"Professor, they ..." 

"I know, take them immediately to the operating room," Frank said, cutting off the words of the ER doctor on duty.

"Oh right, is there any more doctors that you managed to contact?" Frank asked while looking at the doctor on duty. 

"Doctor Cecilia is still on leave, Doctor Robert couldn't be reached and Doctor William …" 

"Okay, I understand. So I will operate on them," Frank's reply cut off the doctor on duty quickly. 

Since Viona quit, the surgical division had become a bit messy. In the past, when Viona was still working, she would easily come to the office to take emergency measures like this, but now he had to fend for himself. 

"The wife broke her rib and hand, while her husband had a broken leg and a pretty hard impact on his spine," said the doctor on duty to Frank, when Frank had changed into a special operation clothes. 

"Let's handle his wife first, I'm afraid the broken rib will hit her lung," Frank replied quickly. 

"Yes, sir," said everyone in the operating room. 

Shortly afterwards, Frank started working. He looked serious in his current operation because the assistant was an ordinary general practitioner, not a surgeon like himself, Viona or Doctor Robert, who had now replaced Viona. However, due to the high flying hours and proficient abilities, Frank did not seem to have any significant difficulties, even though at first he experienced a little difficulty, but because his assistant was able to work well, finally the first operation went smoothly. 

After the operation on the wife was finished, they resumed their duties again. Even though Frank looked very exhausted from the four hours surgery, he still had to fight for the second operation. 

When the sun appeared in the eastern horizon, the operation led by Frank had not yet finished. The doctors who had just arrived looked excited because they were shocked when they heard the news. 

As soon as William arrived, he ran into the special room above the operating room where Frank worked. From the monitor screen, he watched the works of Frank who had been operating all night long. A look of fatigue was clearly visible on his handsome face, which was covered in a mask. 

"How long has it been?" Dr. William asked coldly to a nurse. 

"It's been almost three hours, Doc. The patient has a fracture in the spine. Therefore, Professor Frank is ..." 

"I know what he is doing, thank you for the info. Then what about the first patient he helped?" Asked William, interrupting the nurse's words quickly.

"The first patient's condition has stabilized, even though she was still unconscious. Professor Frank had managed to help her," the nurse replied, explaining the condition of the patient who was successfully saved by Frank. 

William smiled at the words of the nurse. He was proud of Frank's work. Although he had a dark side that made others shudder, but his ability as a doctor was great. After watching the operating table for almost an hour, finally the operation led by Frank was finished. William walked slowly towards the exit where Frank would come out. 

"Are you okay, Franklin?" Asked William quickly. He could see the expression of fatigue was clearly etched on Frank's face. 

"I'm fine," Frank stammered. 

Without anyone noticing, Louisa was already there. She quickly gave a bottle of water to Frank, but was rejected by the professor, making her disappointed. 

"He is tired, don't take it personally, Doc," William whispered, quietly calming Louisa. 

"Yes, Doc, I understand," Louisa answered, pretended to be tough. 

She was very worried with Frank's condition. When she arrived at the hospital a few minutes ago, Louisa immediately ran to the operating room. She was so worried about Frank's condition, who had been operating for almost all night. Without breakfast, Louisa went straight to the operating room. She wanted to make sure the condition of the man who had filled her heart was okay, because operating two patients overnight was certainly not an easy task for any doctor, and thinking about it made Louisa panic. 

Louisa stood behind the door where Dr. William and other doctors were monitoring the operation. When all doctors focused on the patient being treated by Frank, Louisa was more focused on seeing Frank's condition. She could clearly see the profound exhaustion of Frank. Judging from the look in his eyes, she knew that the man was struggling to save a human life. 

"You better rest in a special room, Doc. You must be very tired now," said William quietly, as he tapped Frank's shoulder. 

"I'm fine, but please keep an eye on his condition," Frank replied softly, pointing to the operating room where his patient laid. 

"Of course, Frank," William replied quickly, as he handed over the bottle of drink that Louisa had brought for Frank. 

"No thank you, I want to take a break," Frank refused, while fending William's hand. 

William just smiled thinly seeing he was rejected just like Louisa, who had been silent. After seeing Frank refusing William's offer for a drink, she smiled because finally she knew that Frank refused her drink previously was because he didn't want to drink, and not because he hated her. 

Gradually Frank got up from his chair and took off his clothes, assisted by a nurse who had been preparing since Frank left the operating room. After taking off all his clothes, he then walked to the doctor's rest room alone, because he refused to be helped by anyone. 

"Frank …" Fernando shouted in a high voice when he saw his younger brother stagger and almost fall to the floor. 

Fernando immediately came to the hospital when he got a word from William that his younger brother was undergoing surgery for two patients at once. As a brother, he was worried about his younger brother's condition, even though he actually knew that his brother was a great doctor. 

"Are you okay?" Fernando asked quietly after he managed to hold Frank's body that nearly fell to the floor. 

"Frank, answer me, don't make me worry," Fernando added. 

His younger brother's pale face scared him. They were siblings after all, despite their animosity and rivalry over the years. 

"I don't need your help, don't pay attention to me," Frank replied sarcastically as he tried to push Fernando's hand that was holding his body. He didn't like being pitied by anyone, especially by Fernando, who incidentally was his own brother. 

"You really don't need his help, but you need my help," said a woman in a soft voice. 

It was the voice that Frank had been missing for weeks. 

"Viona ...".
