The Dirty Tricks Begin

The next day.

Medical Center.

Emergency room.

"A white male was shot in the left shoulder. Three people died at the scene, several others were injured, and five more were injured shortly afterward."

An ambulance arrived, the paramedics said quickly.

"This is so terrible, what happened?"

The nurse couldn't help but ask.

"The perpetrator was a former employee of the restaurant. All the injured and killed were restaurant staff, and a couple who were dining in the restaurant were also unlucky and injured."

The emergency responders explained.

"Has the perpetrator been caught?"

"The nurse asked."

"No."

After the paramedics finished speaking, they left.

The news quickly spread throughout the hospital.

"Adam, I heard that Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital has a suitable heart for Danny. Is Dr. Burke planning to go and get it?"

Liz found Adam with a beaming smile.

"Um."

Adam glanced at her and nodded, saying, "He's very lucky."

"Not just good, it's excellent!"

Liz exclaimed happily, "He is a good man blessed by God!"

"Hehe."

Adam couldn't help but laugh.

Let alone those favored by God, even the God could end up in a terrible situation; this is pure nonsense.

"You disagree?"

Liz expressed her dissatisfaction.

"I'm laughing because you really have nothing better to do."

Adam changed the subject, saying, "I heard the emergency room is packed with people, aren't you going to help?"

"Of the five injured, four are in stable condition, but the other died on the way."

Liz explained, "Meredith and the others can handle it."

"So that means four people died?"

Adam frowned.

"Right."

Liz nodded. "I heard that the gunman was a former employee of the restaurant. After being fired by the manager, he took revenge and barged in with a gun without any regard for others."

His real target, the manager, only suffered a shoulder injury and had just been boasting about how clever and quick-witted he was.

The moment he saw the gunman enter, he knew something was wrong and, using his former athletic physique, nimbly hid behind the cupboard.

Neither of them are good people!

Adam shook his head.

This manager was still smugly boasting even after four people died and four were injured. You can imagine how bad he was usually. No wonder firing an employee could lead to such a tragic accident.

Adam could easily imagine what a despicable person he was.

But compared to this despicable manager, the fired gunman is the real villain!

Even if all your colleagues at the restaurant are targeting you, it's impossible that the couple dining there has offended you.

And although guns are rampant in the United States.

But that's relative.

In remote rural areas, everyone has a gun, and there are even gun arsenals for everyone.

But in big cities like New York, many people don't actually handle guns.

For example, Chandler and his friends didn't even bother to touch a gun until Phoebe started dating a policeman.

Someone who can easily grab a gun and kill or injure so many people must not be a kind soul.

"Um."

Liz nodded in agreement, then her eyes flashed. "Adam, Danny is going to have surgery soon, he'll get a new heart. Can I go with you now and help him with the check-up?"

"No!"

Adam refused without hesitation.

"Why?"

Liz's eyes widened.

"Don't disrupt Danny's training."

Adam looked at Liz with the Fahai look Bai Suzhen: "How do you know you'll definitely get the new heart this time before you've truly succeeded? Have you forgotten how hopeful he was last time, and how disappointed he was?"

"This time we will definitely succeed!"

Liz's eyes were very determined.

"Don't!"

Adam waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "There's an ability called 'poisonous prediction,' and there's a way of speaking called 'setting a flag'... For Danny's sake, I advise you to stop talking."

"..."

After hearing the explanation of the term, Liz glared angrily at Adam.

"Actually, I've always been curious."

Seeing that she still wasn't going to leave, Adam unleashed his ultimate move. "Liz, can you tell me what's most important to you?"

It should be your career, after all, you said that you are a girl who came from a trailer factory and have paid too much to get to where you are today.

But your current actions are completely unlike that.

Putting aside the fact that you almost ruined your career for Danny, what were you doing while Cristina and the others were working hard to improve their medical skills?

And please don't tell me it's about feelings~

Liz was stunned by what Adam said.

In particular, Adam's tone and expression when he said the last sentence struck her heart hard. He was clearly saying that you gave up on love back then, and even advised others to give up. You don't even care about family ties. Is there really any love?

You bastard!

Liz was furious and cold-blooded. She cursed and then covered her mouth and left.

The ward.

"My luck has improved ever since I listened to Dr. Duncan."

Danny was very happy.

"Be neither arrogant nor impatient."

Adam reminded him, "No one can say for sure if this will work. We need to prepare for a protracted battle. Have you forgotten?"

"Who has such a good mindset?"

Danny gave a wry smile.

Rooftop.

Dr. Burke carried the cryogenic container for organ transplants toward the medical helicopter parked there.

"Dr. Burke."

Liz caught up quickly. "Please take me with you."

Seeing that Dr. Burke was about to refuse, Liz pleaded with her eyes full of pleas, "Please."

"Come on up."

Dr. Burke, unlike Adam, was not ruthless and nodded helplessly.

Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

"Danny is so lucky, he has two hearts that are a perfect match for him!"

Liz was very excited.

Five minutes later.

"The patient died; the heart is no longer usable."

Dr. Burke announced.

"No!"

Liz cried out in distress, then, as if remembering something, she rushed to the adjacent operating room, where another heart transplant was being prepared.

"Don't move!"

Liz called out to the female doctor who was holding a scalpel and preparing to make an incision.

"What did you say?"

The female doctor glanced at her sideways.

"We need to discuss this."

At this moment, Dr. Burke arrived and said to the female doctor, "Your patient may not be ahead of my patient on the transplant list, so theoretically this heart may not be yours."

Then the two started arguing.

Dr. Burke and Dr. Han were classmates at John Hopkins Medical School, one ranked first and the other second, and they were naturally at odds.

Of course, Dr. Burke was in first place, and his momentum always overshadowed that of the female student in second place.

In the end, the two could only call the organ transplant center to inquire about their rankings.

"Dr. Han's patient arrived 17 seconds earlier than Dr. Burke's patient."

The organ transplant center has provided a ranking.

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Liz exclaimed, "We can't just look at the rankings. The two are only 17 seconds apart, so close. Of course, we also need to consider the patient's current physical condition."

"Oh!"

Dr. Han scoffed, "Your patients have all had left ventricular assist devices implanted, so they can move around the hospital freely. My patients, on the other hand, still need injections of Dobutamine."

"He needs to be injected with Dobutamine? What, does he want to climb Mount Everest?"

Dr. Burke scoffed.

The two old classmates started arguing again.

Liz was extremely anxious because even though Dr. Burke was not giving an inch, his aura was still overwhelming Dr. Han.

Theoretically speaking, Dr. Han's patients have a higher priority and should rightfully receive heart treatment.

In a moment of desperation, her IQ immediately dropped, and she became driven by emotion, leading to some reckless actions.

Liz put her hands in her pockets and secretly dialed Dr. Burke's number on her cell phone.

Dudu.

Dr. Burke was arguing with his female classmate, holding his phone. Without even looking at it, he slid it across the table and handed it to Liz, indicating that Liz should answer the call. He continued arguing with his classmate, trying to get his hands on the heart.

This is not only related to his own patient's surgery, but also a habitual practice of suppressing his female classmate who has always been second in line for many years.

Liz was overjoyed. She took the phone, left the conference room, hung up, and then used Dr. Burke's phone to call Adam.

"Dr. Burke."

Adam's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Is everything going smoothly?"

"Adam, listen to me!"

Liz growled, "This time, you have to help me..."
