“It’s okay, this place is safe. Your colleagues and superiors aren’t here,” Leia said reassuringly.
The young woman stared down into her cup of coffee for a long time. She looked conflicted as she saidslowly, “To be honest, I found that surgery weird because Doctor Leslie Snyder is always very cautious.He would use the anesthesia with the lowest risk if he could, but… he behaved strangely that day. Heinsisted on using the forbidden anesthesia. Although that anesthesia is effective, its side effects arestrong. One of the side effects is causing the patient to go into shock and enter a long coma. It’s whatwe call brain death!”
“A forbidden anesthesia?” Leia was shocked when she heard that. Unexpectedly, their enemy hadbeen that bold. Renee’s instincts were right-it had been a deliberate attempt at murder.
“At first, I disagreed with it, but Doctor Snyder claimed that we were out of imported anesthesia and thissurgery couldn’t be delayed, so we had to take a risk. Although it was forbidden, many plastic surgeryhospitals used it in the past, but there were never any complications. I was just a mere assistant thatcouldn’t speak out then, so I could only cooperate… I didn’t expect that something would happen.”
The assistant cried and said, “I’m so sorry. We didn’t do it on purpose. At least, I didn’t mean to. Iwouldn’t have let them use the problematic anesthesia if I knew things would turn out this way. Pleasedon’t take it out on us; my family is poor, and I’m my parents’ only child. I…”
“Alright, stop crying. If you’re innocent, we’ll leave you alone. ” Leia became flustered because of theassistant’s crying, so she frowned and said, “I can give you a chance to make up for your mistake. Tryand recall carefully if Doctor Snyder did anything odd. You’re saying that he’s very experienced andwouldn’t purposely use forbidden anesthesia on the patient, so someone must have ordered him to doso.”
“Er…” The assistant struggled for a long time before she said slowly, “He did something, but I don’tknow if it was odd or not.”
“Go on.”
“He got a call before the surgery. If I’m not mistaken, it was a call from Shirley, the famous movie star.”
Leia’s eyes grew wide. “Shirley?”
“Yeah, she’s a frequent customer at the hospital. She did a lot of fine-tuning these years, and it wasalways Doctor Snyder who did it. Shirley seems to be very close to Doctor Snyder. They spoke formore than a minute before the surgery. It wasn’t unusual since it’s normal for doctors to be friendly withtheir clients, but I found it strange when I heard their conversation.”
“Tell me the details.” Leia held her breath in anticipation.
“Doctor Snyder asked her not to worry about something. He guaranteed that nothing would gowrong…” The assistant continued, “I don’t understand. If Shirley had nothing to do with the patient,Doctor Snyder didn’t have to tell her the result of the surgery.”
“So, it means that Shirley was aware of the surgery and she purposely contacted Doctor Snyder beforethat…” Leia took a deep breath. Reluctance hit her but she had to face it.
She had to meet Shirley to ask her about the incident.
