Chapter 106 Another Blind One Comes
This made not only Ava sneer, but all the doctors around her as well.
How shameless could she be to spout such nonsense?
That surgery was clearly one where Briar would have died if Ava hadn't stepped in on time.
If Briar had really died on Mia's operating table from such a basic mistake, Timothy wouldn't be so calm about holding people accountable right now.
Not only did she not thank Ava, but she even slandered her. This was too much.
Seeing Mia become the target of everyone's criticism, Dean couldn't help but step forward. "Mr. Timothy King, you can't entirely blame Dr. Wilson for this surgery. Hemorrhaging during surgery is uncontrollable. Dr. Wilson wasn't feeling well when she entered the operating room, but she went ahead anyway to avoid delaying Mrs. Briar King's surgery. Dr. Wilson did her best to make up for it afterward. Now that Mrs. Briar King is fine, you can't put all the blame on her."
Another blind fool.
Everyone's eyes shifted as they looked at Dean.
Before entering the operating room, her face was rosy with no signs of discomfort, but after something went wrong in surgery, suddenly she wasn't feeling well?
Can't handle it but still has to grab the opportunity, then when something goes wrong, shifts the blame, plays weak, and when someone helps her, she slanders them instead.
Truly disgusting.
Everyone exchanged knowing looks of contempt.
Mia bit her lip. "Even so, Mr. Timothy King, I still need to apologize to you. The good thing is that Mrs. Briar King is fine now, which is the best outcome."
"Mrs. King is fine, but you're not the one who saved her. Why are you talking like you did?" Thora walked in with Hawk.
"Dr. White, I didn't say that."
"That's exactly what you meant. Come on, you made the mistake yourself, someone else completed the surgery for you, and you still have the nerve to take credit for their work. Have you no shame?"
Mia pouted, looking fragile. "Dr. White, why do you keep targeting me? Besides, this surgery was mine to begin with. Dr. Davis suddenly jumped in and disrupted my surgical process."
Thora had seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless.
"How dare you say that..." Thora was furious.
"Dr. White, I really don't know what I did to offend you. Why are you being so aggressive? If I did something before that upset you, I can apologize, okay?" Mia weakly clutched her chest, crying pitifully.
"Enough, Thora." Seeing Mia clutch her chest looking weak, Dean scolded Thora, then supported Mia and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" His attitude was completely different, his concern showing plainly on his face.
Mia weakly shook her head.
"Dean, I'm your wife, yet you're yelling at me for another woman." Thora said sadly.
Dean frowned with a complicated expression. "Thora, stop targeting Mia all the time."
At this moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but become subtle. Dean was actually scolding his own wife to protect another woman!
Timothy's eyes turned to Ava, who stood calmly to the side. A slight smile appeared on his handsome face. "You're Dr. Davis, right?"
Ava nodded slightly. "I am."
"Thank you for saving my mother."
"It's my duty."
After speaking, Timothy turned to Hawk. "Dr. White, I'm not an unreasonable person. I'm pursuing this matter because I want an explanation. After all, my mother almost died. This was a mistake by your hospital's doctor. But at the same time, I'm very grateful to Dr. Davis for saving my mother. However, regarding Dr. Wilson, since it concerns my mother's life and safety, I can't feel comfortable leaving my mother in Dr. Wilson's care. I request that Dr. Davis be made my mother's attending physician."
Hearing this, Mia panicked. Giving her patient to Ava—wasn't this an insult to her?
"No, Mr. Timothy King, I was the one treating Mrs. Briar King from the beginning. Switching to Dr. Davis now—not to mention whether Dr. Davis understands Mrs. Briar King's condition, wouldn't it also delay Mrs. Briar King's treatment?" Mia said anxiously, looking urgently at Dean.
Dean's brow furrowed tightly as he called out to Hawk as a reminder.
Hawk had come in without saying anything, but he had clearly promised to speak up for Mia. Dean was getting anxious too.
Hawk frowned, ignoring him, and nodded directly at Timothy. "Of course. Dr. Davis is a very capable doctor at our hospital. I believe Mrs. King will see great results under her care.
At the same time, regarding Dr. Wilson's surgical error, on behalf of the hospital, I offer our most sincere apologies to you and Mrs. King. Our hospital will strengthen the training of our doctors' capabilities and will absolutely not let such a basic mistake happen again."
Timothy nodded. With Hawk's good attitude and the doctor changed, his goal was achieved. He had no intention of pursuing the matter further. He nodded politely to Hawk and Ava and turned to leave.
Suddenly his departing steps paused, and he turned back to look at Ava. "Dr. Davis."
Ava was startled. "Yes?"
"Would I have the honor of taking you to dinner?" Timothy's voice was gentle, his eyes smiling as he looked at Ava.
Ava smiled graciously. "You're too kind, Mr. King."
It was a tactful refusal. Watching Ava's composed and proper manner, an unclear glimmer flashed in Timothy's eyes.
Timothy didn't insist. "Until we meet again."
Only then did Mia snap back to reality, looking at Dean in disbelief, then at Hawk. "Dr. White, aren't you mistaken?"
"Dad, about this matter..."
They had already agreed—how could it turn out like this?
"What about this matter? Dr. Wilson's surgical error is an undeniable fact. She has problems with her abilities, and now you're still trying to argue here. I can seriously suspect she has problems with her character too." Hawk said angrily.
