I gave him a polite smile and then whispered, “Dr. Kerr, thank you for helping me hide my identity.”
I could let others know about the ghost doctor, but I didn’t want anyone to know that the ghost doctor’s name was Luna.
After all, the ghost doctor’s identity involved too many different parties and factions. Once my identity is discovered, my family and friends will not have peace.
Dr. Kerr adjusted his glasses and gave me a slight bow before sincerely saying, “Of course, I have my own selfish motives for helping you, ghost doctor. I have some medical questions that I’ve been wanting to consult you for a long time.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI nodded at him. As I took off my surgical gown, I replied, “I will tell you everything I know.”
After I answered a few questions for Dr. Kerr, his eyes lit up as if he had suddenly understood something. At the end, I said, “Actually, TCM and Western Medicine’s essence are the same. TCM is more inclined to rely on external forces to stimulate the potential of the human body and seek a treatment method that is harmonious with nature. Many illnesses are cured by the human body, so I have always felt that life is great and profound.”
“Thank you for your explanation! May I shake your hand?” Dr. Kerr smiled at me amicably.
“Of course.”
Just as I got up and took a step toward him to shake his hand, there’s a commotion outside.
The door to the operating room was kicked open and a group of strong bodyguards walked in. They then stepped aside and Alpha strode into the operating room.
After scanning all the medical staff in blue surgical gowns and masks, Alpha waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him immediately walked forward and accosted the medical staff to check their identities.
“Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We are looking for a woman known as the ghost doctor. Please forgive us for any offense,” the leader of the bodyguards said.
Dr. Kerr and I hadn’t been noticed by Alpha because we were talking behind a surgical curtain at the inner area.
I needed to get out of here. I couldn’t go up against this strange man, Alpha.
I tidied my clothes and made sure there were no traces of exposure. Thereafter, I looked around.
Damn it! Due to the fact that this place was sterile and confined, there was only one exit. At this moment, Alpha and his men had blocked it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMy aunt’s attending doctor, Kerr, noticed my concern and immediately whispered to me, “They don’t seem to be here with good intentions. I’ll go chase them away. Please go into the inner room and hide.”
“Okay, sorry for the trouble.” I nodded at him and then went into the inner room where the paramedics used to change and store their equipment.
Nearby, Alpha’s search continued. He’d arrived early and learned that the ghost doctor was operating on a patient. Out of ethical concerns, he hadn’t entered rashly. Instead, he’d waited patiently until the surgery was over before coming in to find the ghost doctor.
The only exit had been blocked by him. He was confident that the ghost doctor would not be able to escape his grasp.
However, when they checked the third last nurse, they did not find a woman who looked like the ghost doctor.
He took off another nurse’s mask. The bodyguard in black looked at Alpha hesitantly and said, “Boss, this…”
Although the female nurse in front of him also had blonde hair, her eyes were light gold, unlike the dark eyes that was the characteristic of the ghost doctor.
Furthermore, looking at the female nurse’s trembling appearance, it did not match the identity of the ghost doctor.
Shaking his head, Alpha casually glanced at the nurse’s name tag on her chest and raised his eyebrows. He said in a deep voice, “Are you the assistant nurse?”
The nurse flinched and nodded, taking a step back.
