Female Novel
Chapter 2261
Although Leia was famous for being a difficult patient in their department, the head nurse felt happy forher to be able to get a liver transplant.
"The injections are for your late recovery, and you'll have to get the injections for three daysconsecutively," the head nurse explained to her as she placed the infusion bottles in front of Leia.Following the code of practice, she needed to ask, "What's your name?"
“Leia Norman,” answered Leia. She looked at Johann warily, who was standing behind faking a smile.
She had this feeling that Johann was up to something.
The nurse checked Leia's patient wristband. The name was correct, so she hung the solution bottle onthe IV stand.
The bottle was not that huge. The nurse removed the solution bottle there and attached the newinfusion bottle.
Johann instructed her when he saw that the drip rate was a little slow, “Speed it up."
"Make it even faster?" The head nurse turned around and glanced at Johann with a surprised look onher face.
The patient might feel uncomfortable if the drip rate went too fast.
"Yes." Johann was planning to tell her after she finished the injection.
The head nurse adjusted the speed of the drop rate after confirming with Johann.
Leia could feel a sharp pain in her arm and whined, "It hurts!"
The head nurse glanced at the solution bottle. It was still dripping. Johann did not say anything, so shedid not do anything about it.
"Dr. Park, I shall leave first," she said to Johann.
Johann nodded. He sat on the sofa, quietly looking at Leia.
Leia felt uneasy about being stared at. She felt like something was about to happen.
She sat up on the bed and asked with a gloomy look on her face, "Why are you still here?"
"Some of the patients will have bigger reactions when they're given this infusion. I'm afraid that youmight have allergic reactions." Johann smirked. The smile on his face failed to reach his eyes.
Leia could feel a chill seeping down her spine when she looked at his fake smile. Although Johann waskind to his patients, he was always smiling no matter what. He seemed like a friendly person.
However, Leia knew that Johann was not that kind of person.
Johann's smile was the same as Luke's expressionless face.
If Luke wanted her dead, he would have to find someone to harm her.
However, it was different for Johann. If he truly wanted her dead, he did not have to look for someoneelse. He could carry out his plans in secret without anyone knowing about it. He was a doctor, after all.He knew a lot about medicine...
"Don't you do skin testing for allergies before giving injections?" Leia immediately lowered her headand looked at her arm when she heard that she might have an allergy reaction.
She knew her condition well, and she was too weak to handle anything now.
Johann answered indifferently, “There's no need to. Only some of them would have allergies. There arelow chances of getting allergies. Besides, I'm here with you. What are you scared of?”
Leia was rendered speechless.
Many patients would have wanted Johann to stay in their ward for 24 hours. After all, having him therewould be a guarantee of their life.
However, Leia refused to face Johann because he was on Luke's side.
A shiver ran down her spine at the thought of her health statistics and data that might have been givento Luke.
The caretaker picked up the fruit bowl beside her and placed it in front of Johann. She said, "Dr. Park,would you like to have some fruits?”
"Thank you, but I don't eat when I'm working." Johann looked up without glancing at the fruit bowl. Hethen quietly looked at the infusion bottle that was dripping into Leia's vein.
Five minutes later, the small infusion bottle had been fully injected into Leia's vein.
Johann rose to his feet and changed to another infusion bottle. He removed the empty bottle.
Johann toyed with the small bottle in his hands. He was not in a hurry to leave the ward.
However, Leia urged him, "I'm not allergic to it, can you leave now?"
"Aren't you curious about what the solution is?" Johann came forward and let her see the bottle.
Leia was unable to understand the technical terms stated on the bottle, so she asked, "What is this?"
"It's to reduce the risks of transplant rejection after the surgery," Johann adjusted the speed back tonormal and continued, "You'll have to be injected with this for three days consecutively. And you'll havethe surgery in three days."
If it were a temporary liver, there was no need to receive these injections. However, in Leia's case, thechances of the body rejecting it was much higher.
Patients like Leia were able to decide the time of the transplant, and they would usually be given theshots in advance.
"Transplantation? Is there a donor?" Leia was exhilarated, but she suddenly realized that somethingwas wrong.
If it was her turn to receive the transplant, she should be pushed into the surgery room immediately—not after three days.
Hence, the liver that would be transplanted into her body must be taken from someone alive.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Johann. "Is Dexter the liver donor?"
“You should be grateful that Luke was able to find Dexter this quick. Besides, he's agreed to donatehalf of his liver to you. At the same time, his body can still handle the surgery. Otherwise, I'm afraid thatyou won't be able to wait until your turn," Johann said in a calm tone. He continued when he saw thetwisted expression on Leia's face, "Take it easy. You might find yourself getting wheeled into theemergency room if you don't calm yourself down now. Even the transplant won't be able to save yourlife."
Leia clasped the bedsheet tightly and questioned him in a hoarse voice, "Why isn't Dexter dead yet?!"
"Perhaps he knew that you couldn't make it through. That's why he's still alive, to save you." AlthoughJohann did not believe in fate, he had predicted that Dexter might not be able to meet the requirementsto be the liver donor. Who would have known that his health stats met all the requirements?
Therefore, Leia was destined to receive half of Dexter's liver.novelbin
"I don't need it. Ask him to get lost. I don't want his liver!" Leia exploded. She had made up her mind.She would rather take the risk to partner up with Matysh and get that money to buy the liver than toreceive Dexter's filthy liver.
"You don't have a choice." The smile on Johann's face disappeared. "The injection we gave you is toactivate the cells in your body so that they can accept a new liver better. There's no turning back afterthe first injection."
"What do you mean?!" Leia glared at him.
"What I mean is, if you don't undergo the liver transplant after you finish taking the injections, it'll speedup your liver metabolism, causing liver failure. Even if you only get one injection, it'll have the sameeffect on you. After taking all injections and not getting a liver transplant, you might have half a monthleft if you're lucky enough. Still, no matter how lucky you are after taking the first injection, you mightonly be able to make it to three weeks," said Johann.
"I've never heard of any medicine like that." Leia thought Johann was fooling her to force her to get theliver transplant.
"It's a newly imported medicine. I don't have to lie to you. If you still refuse to undergo the livertransplant a week later, I'd suggest you get discharged from the hospital and go back home to wait. It'llbe useless when you wait until it's your turn to get the liver transplant." After that, Johann turnedaround and walked out of the ward.
Leia yelled at him from behind, "How could you make such a decision without my permission?!"
"It's because you signed the agreement. Your parents are the ones who make the decision for you.You're not the one who makes the decision. Plus, you should consider whether or not you're going toresume taking the injections tomorrow and if you should go for the liver transplant three days later. Tellme after you've decided so that I can arrange the operating room for your surgery, or you can getdischarged from the hospital." Johann left once he finished talking.
He whistled after he closed the door.
