This Is Retribution!

Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

"Dr. Stevenson."

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Dr. Burke was afraid that if she stayed, Dr. Han would notice something was wrong, so he frowned and said, "You should go back to the hospital first. We don't need you here."

"I..."

After being repeatedly threatened by Adam and the Chief of Surgery, Richard, Liz finally calmed down a bit. Now, seeing Dr. Burke's disdainful attitude, she felt bitter.

She knew that what she was doing had a very bad impact.

She knew she shouldn't have done it.

But somehow, she did it anyway, and ended up taking such a fatal step.

For Danny?

That doesn't seem to be entirely true.

Feeling lost, she followed Dr. Burke's orders, left Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, and took a taxi back to the Medical Center.

Medical Center.

Emergency room.

The couple who were accidentally injured stood face to face, their eyes filled with tender affection.

"Huh, you two made up?"

Cristina came in and saw this scene, and said in surprise.

When the gunshot rang out earlier, the boyfriend in the couple acted like a coward, grabbing his girlfriend's body and shielding her in front of him, causing her right arm to be pierced by a bullet, which then continued to strike him.

The girlfriend was naturally furious. After coming to the hospital for treatment, she kept berating her boyfriend.

However, this boyfriend is a coward inside, but he doesn't act like one at all.

"It was an instinctive reaction, beyond my control, baby. You know I love you. We were both shot. The bullet went through you and hit me. It was a sign that we should be together forever..."

Sweet words really do work.

This can all be explained away.

"I'm going to give him another chance."

The woman in the couple laughed.

I told her that it wasn't necessary.

The man in the couple said hypocritically, "What I experienced today has completely changed me. This bullet will forever remind me to do the right thing for my baby."

That's it?

Cristina was speechless.

"I chose to forgive, and it feels so much better than being angry."

The woman in the couple said, feeling quite moved.

Cristina was too lazy to say anything.

The next ward.

I'll give you a few days off.

The shrewd manager, after being bandaged up, saw the young employee next to him who had been shot looking sad because one of his good friends was among the dead, and his 'pity' was stirred up.

"I'll talk to the boss and let you keep your job. It's not your fault that you got shot, and of course it's not my fault either, since I didn't pull the trigger, haha."

Seeing the young employee's head bowed, eyes filled with anger, fearing another shooting, he said guiltily, "It was Pete who fired the shot... What I want to say is, people often blame management, but we've done our best..."

After saying that, the petty manager walked away sheepishly.

The couple who had reconciled also came out and followed behind him.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

As the villainous manager walked out of the hospital building, another round of shooting rang out.

The couple, who hadn't yet left the hospital, were a few steps behind. The man instinctively grabbed his girlfriend and held her in front of him.

"We're finished, completely finished!"

His girlfriend also ran to the corner to hide. After she was hidden, she spoke calmly to her trembling boyfriend.

Sweet words, however persuasive, are ineffective in this situation.

"It was a gunshot!"

Adam's expression hardened.

"Dr. Duncan, you stay here and watch over things."

Richard, the Chief of Surgery had been waiting outside the ward, spoke as he prepared to go over and take a look.

"Director, I'll go."

Adam advised, "You stay here and keep watch to prevent Liz from causing any more trouble. It's better if I go; I'll be more confident."

"All right."

Chief of Surgery. Richard, the head of surgery, recalled how Adam had always survived both shootings and bomb attacks, and he did have some confidence in Adam's remarkable premonition of danger.

In addition, he was more worried about the aftermath of the scandal than about the shooting.

Adam ran away in a frenzy.

When he arrived, the medical staff were still huddled in the hospital, too afraid to go out.

Joke.

The shooting this morning left four people injured and four dead, and the gunman escaped. Now, with this sudden turn of events, the first thought of the gossipy medical staff is that the gunman is still persistent and has come after them.

No one questions the brutality of this gunman who indiscriminately killed innocent people; who would dare to step forward?

So the gunshots went off for quite a while, but no one went out.

Adam had no premonition of danger and guessed that the gunman had left, but he still took a closer look and found three people lying outside the hospital building.

One of them was holding a gun, pointing it at his own head, which was already a mess.

This must be the gunman.

"The gunman committed suicide."

Adam gave a reminder, then quickly walked out of the hospital. He first checked the pulse of the person whose left shoulder was bandaged; this should be the despicable manager, who was now completely dead.

He then got up and looked at the third person lying on the roadside in the distance.

"Liz!"

Adam was stunned when he saw it clearly.

Lying there, shot in the right shoulder, already in shock, who else could it be but Liz!

"Quick, someone move the bed!"

Adam ripped open Liz's shirt and used one hand to stop the bleeding from her wound while using the other hand to perform CPR.

Fortunately, Adam was strong enough to perform CPR with just one hand.

Liz, who was in shock, regained focus in her dazed eyes.

After Adam revived her, he immediately carried her onto a stretcher and rushed her to the emergency room.

After the X-rays were taken, Dr. Shepherd, the Chief of Surgery neurosurgery, was called in. The bullet was lodged in his spine, which was extremely dangerous.

"Adam, how is Liz?"

George stopped Adam.

"If a bullet gets stuck in the spinal nerve group, not to mention the complications that gunshot wounds may cause, even if you have surgery to remove the bullet, it is very likely to damage these nerves."

Adam explained, "Even Dr. Shepherd. Shept wasn't entirely sure."

"Liz can no longer practice medicine?"

George stood there, completely stunned.

As a doctor, he naturally knew what this meant.

"This is a good thing."

Adam said calmly, "It's a good reason to avoid being fired, having your arm not fully recover its function, and being unable to hold a scalpel again. Don't worry about people criticizing you."

"She's already like this, and you're still saying these things about her?"

George looked furious.

Was I wrong?

Adam coldly replied, "Is she even human? She has absolutely no medical ethics! She even tried to drag us down with her, showing no regard for friendship whatsoever! Did you think it was easy for us to get to where we are today? Are you really willing to suddenly go crazy and ruin everything for her?"

"But..."

George blushed deeply after being rebuked. He knew Adam was right, but he still felt that Liz was in such a state, and he shouldn't have said that to her.

No way.

He's the kind of guy who's all about being a nice guy without any principles; otherwise, he wouldn't be so popular with women.

There are no "buts".

Adam interrupted, "You didn't tell anyone what Liz asked you to do, did you? Keep it to yourself, or you'll be a sinner against the entire Medical Center!"

In fact, he didn't know the story of Liz and Dr. Burke in the original timeline, nor did he know that Dr. Burke was shot and almost died because of Liz's willfulness and madness, and almost lost the most precious hands of a renowned doctor. Otherwise, he would definitely have added a sentence.

"This is retribution!"
