Chapter 527 Who Would You Save

“It was that day I performed twelve operations in the span of twenty-one hours. That… was not something to be proud of. That day, all I felt was how fragile human lives were, and it shook me to my core. I still feel the same today.”

Some young soldiers who retired from the battlefield after the age of war might look fine from the outside, but they had to receive years of therapy to heal. Some even broke down and took their own lives because of the weight of the sin they had to carry. Those who had never gone through war could never imagine how bloody and cruel it was.

“Professor Allen, what was the most shocking thing you experienced?”

Allen might have agreed to answer that question, but he still shivered when the host asked him that. “It happened after my first operation. The corridor was packed with people. I didn’t even have time to take off my surgical clothes, and my assistant had taken me to another operating theater. The moment I went in, I heard a screech coming from the bed. Someone was crying,” Allen spoke quietly and slowly. Not even a sound was heard in the hall. Courtney was sitting on the chair a crew member gave her, and it was so quiet, she could hear her own heartbeat.

“There was a mother and a daughter on the bed. They were shopping for clothes in a nearby mall when the explosion happened. She instinctively protected her daughter at the moment of impact, so the woman was severely burned, and shards of glasses punctured her body. Her organs might have been destroyed as well. They were stuck together when the rescue team took them back. The previous surgeon had just finished separating them, but the surgeon fainted before she could complete the operation, so I was summoned instead. The mother was alive, but she was severely injured and needed to be operated on at once. Her child’s condition was stable, but she was weak. The child could not hold on any longer, and there was bleeding in her chest. It would be disastrous for her if we did not make an incision to check.” Allen spaced out, immersing himself in his past. He had stopped talking, but the audience started murmuring.

Linda clenched her fists, her attention on the humble man on the stage.

The host held his mic and asked, “What happened next?”
