103 103. She is Profesional

“What did you mean?” Doctor Andreas asked coldly. “Did you mean that we performed the wrong method?”

“No, I didn’t say that!” Clara snapped. “But, I think, there is a sign of internal bleeding. She needs to go back to the operation room and we needed to fix the bleeding.”

“Impossible!” said doctor Andreas with annoyance. How could a resident doctor like Clara provide a different analysis from him and the rest of the resident team? “What made you say that?”

“I believe that this is not just her body’s rejection of a donor’s heart. The symptoms are very similar to bleeding. Do you want some evidence?” Clara asked again. She then collected some papers similar to Mrs. Kane’s case and showed them to doctor Andreas. “What do you think? I’ve added a few notes here in case it wasn’t clear enough for you. You can read it first before telling the others.”

Doctor Andreas then read the papers briefly and looked at Clara again carefully. Indeed, he had been too confident about the surgery he had previously performed since the genius doctor Leonard was with them. However, if Clara’s analysis was correct, then Mrs. Kane should be back in the operating room as soon as possible.

“If you agree, we must immediately take action before the situation gets worse,” Clara said again. Her face looked so tired but the seriousness she showed did not diminish in the least. “We have to check it immediately!”

A few moments later, doctor Andreas said nothing more. He just rushed out of the room and immediately called Clara’s other colleagues to come to the hospital immediately.

***

Two days later, Lea and Sarah were in Doctor Andreas’ room to receive an explanation about their mother’s condition. As it turned out, there was indeed bleeding after the operation so their mother’s condition had worsened. Right now, her condition was much better because the problem has been resolved.

.....

“So, isn’t it a matter of the body’s rejection of a donor’s heart?” Sarah asked with a relieved expression.

“In the meantime, we can’t be one hundred percent sure. However, for the time being, the donor heart can pump blood properly,” said doctor Andrea calmly. His face looked friendlier and more pleasant than the last time they met.

“I’m so grateful. We are happy with this news. Mom’s condition is also much better,” Lea replied with a relieved smile.

“Fortunately Dr. Decker managed to realize this problem quickly. Otherwise, we don’t know what happened to Mrs. Kane,” added doctor Andreas again. He then rested his aching body in his soft office chair.

Meanwhile, Lea and Sarah could only look at each other with guilty expressions. As it turns out, the person they thought would work unprofessionally because of personal grudges was the person who helped their mother.

“Doctor Clara Decker?” asked Sarah, making sure because she still hoped that the helper would be another Decker doctor.

Doctor Andreas nodded. He then said, “She was the one who worked on your mother’s case the most. Working relentlessly to make us believe her analysis.”

Sarah and Lea just opened their mouths, without saying anything else. All the words caught in their throats, unable to get out.

“He is indeed very diligent when he is dealing with complicated cases. In fact, at first, I thought he was just the daughter of a rich and spoiled hospital owner,” added doctor Andreas again, expressing his heart. “However, it turns out that Doctor Decker is willing to work much harder than the other residents.”

Lea nodded with an awkward smile. “Wow, that is... so amazing.”

“I think she will be a great doctor in the future,” commented Doctor Andreas with a proud smile, answered with a slow but polite nod by Lea and Sarah.

When they had had enough, Lea and Sarah left Doctor Andreas’ room with mixed feelings. Even to speak, it was very heavy for both of them. Why did it have to be like this? Why was Clara such a nice and professional person? Unlike Mrs. Decker who did everything she could to get what she wanted.

“Lea, do you think I should apologize to Clara?” Sarah asked in the end, breaking the silence.

Lea just turned her head and didn’t answer Sarah’s question because she also didn’t know what to say. Even if she answered, she didn’t know whether her answer was correct or not. Sarah just responded as most people do. They certainly didn’t want to be treated by a doctor who had personal problems with them.

Lea then walked over to the vending machine and put in some coins to buy two cans of hot chocolate. She picked up the cans that had fallen in the bottom hole one by one, then handed one to her sister.

“Warm yourself up,” Lea said, then sat down on the bench beside the vending machine.

Sarah accepted the hot can, and held it in her hand, without the slightest interest in opening it. She just looked at her older sister who seemed to be enjoying the hot chocolate from the can in a graceful manner.

Sarah then looked away. Looking at Lea for a longer time, she could envy the gentleness and kindness that God had bestowed on her older sister. Lea had indeed done bad things, but she finally came back to herself.

“Just let me meet Clara,” Lea answered later. She then looked at her sister and gave her a level look. “We’d better limit matters here. Do not extend the problems again. The problem is between me and Clara. I don’t want you to get involved.”

Sarah was about to say something. However, Lea stopped her by saying, “Forget that Mrs. Decker once kidnapped you and also forget that you ever signed any agreement with her. Let me deal with this problem alone.”

“Lea, but ....”

“You’re still in college. Just think about your college assignments well,” Lea said again while forcing a smile on her face. That smile was so soft and sweet. However, Sarah understood very well that Lea’s smile was not because she could do it, but because she had no more energy due to exhaustion.

Lea then got up from her seat. She rubbed Sarah’s head before leaving.

If the conditions were different, Sarah would have gone berserk if Lea had treated her like a child. However, right now she didn’t have the slightest bit of resentment toward her sister because she knew that his grave sins were forgiven. She was going to sleep soundly tonight.

Meanwhile, Lea stepped slowly with a heavy heart. She still can’t bear to meet Clara this soon. Especially if she had to stand in front of Dave’s fiancée with a huge debt of gratitude. Clara’s family, in an incorrect way, helps Lea’s family to pay for their mother’s health treatment. While Clara herself helped save their mother’s life.

Lea walked straight to where Clara was. Currently, she was meeting a young patient. She was doing routine checks in his little patient room.

However, it turned out that Clara was talking to her young patient outside the room, in the garden near the patient’s room. Lea approached Clara, but she immediately stopped walking when Clara was talking to a handsome patient who seemed to be under ten years old.

“Doctor Decker, I wanted to meet my father. But he never visited me again when he knew that I would die soon,” said the pale-faced male patient. He looked at Clara with a languid look.

“Indeed, sometimes people cannot accept our shortcomings. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t love you. Sometimes, they just need time to accept this fact,” Clara answered again. “More importantly, you must be able to accept your shortcomings gracefully. Don’t be a pessimist and keep saying that you’re going to die.”

“I’m going to die if I don’t get a donor soon, right?” asked the patient again. “I just don’t want to get my hopes up. Wouldn’t thinking realistically be better? Healthy people who don’t have problems won’t understand.”

Hearing the young patient’s statement, Lea could confirm Clara’s face stiffened for a moment. What a child! They talk carelessly about adults. Clara was currently at the lowest point in her life.

“Everybody has a problem. However, some people remain calm and think positive even though they have big problems in life.”

“Be calm and positive?” asked the patient again.

Clara nodded slowly, raising her eyebrows gently. “If you say negative things, cursing yourself you will die soon, don’t you seem like you died prematurely?” Clara asked again. “Everyone will die eventually. You know about Doctor Leonard’s case, right?”

The little patient nodded. “I didn’t think that he would die before me.”

Clara nodded. “How is Doctor Leonard’s day-to-day life? He is always cheerful and smiles at everyone, isn’t he?” Clara asked again, making the young patient stunned, and then nodded in agreement.

“He was like the sun that was always warming us up with his smile,” whispered the dark-haired patient.

“Well, how about you just live life like that? Assume that you are not sick and you do not know when you will leave this world. smile! Hopefully, the people around you will also smile and act like you.” Clara tapped her patient on the shoulder. The two of them then hugged and separated.

As she walked out of the park, that’s when Clara realized someone was waiting for her.
