After Rebirth, the Miracle Doctor Wife Is No Longer Humble!

Chapter 117 - 117: Lying

117  Lying

Ye Ling couldn't guarantee her success with absolute certainty. Every surgery carried inherent risks. However, what Ye Ling could guarantee was that even if the surgery failed, Chen Si wouldn't be in a life-threatening situation.

It was the confidence she gained from her family's medical expertise that allowed Ye Ling to take this risk.

The anesthesia had already been administered, and Chen Si stared straight at the ceiling, showing a hint of nervousness and confusion. This was probably to prevent Ye Ling from feeling any psychological pressure. He didn't look at Ye Ling and prepared himself for the impending pain.

Ye Ling took a deep breath and raised the surgical knife, gradually removing the necrotic tissue and rotten flesh from Chen Si's leg.

Chen Si's brows suddenly furrowed as a sudden and intense pain surged through him like a tidal wave.

Ye Ling alternated between various surgical instruments, and although she had no assistants, her movements were calm and resolute. She remained composed in the face of unexpected situations during the surgery. She took out a pill from the small world she carried with her and handed it to Chen Si, saying, "Swallow this directly."

Previously, on the mountain, Chen Si had endured because Ye Ling had given him a few pills. Therefore, he didn't hesitate and swallowed the pill directly.

Outside the operating room, Dr. Xu brought a chair and stood guard at the door with a nervous and anxious expression.

Originally, he had approached Ye Ling with a trial-and-error mindset when he asked her to come over. But he never expected that Ye Ling would actually perform surgery on Chen Si.

Ye Ling appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old!

Typically, only doctors with qualifications of practicing physicians could serve as the lead surgeon. Dr. Xu was almost forty years old, and he dared not perform major surgeries. He only handled minor procedures like suturing wounds.

Yet Ye Ling, so young, had the audacity to perform this surgery!

Of course, surgical competence was not related to age but to skill. Dr. Xu believed that it was Ye Ling's medical expertise that gave her the confidence.

While Dr. Xu was pondering various complex thoughts, there was a commotion at the entrance of the clinic. Several village leaders and officials walked in, with Village Committee Secretary Ma Kang leading the way.

Dr. Xu immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile. "It's quite late. Secretary Ma, what brings you here?"

Secretary Ma glanced at the door of a certain ward and asked, "I heard that Chen Si's condition isn't good. Is there any risk to his life?"

After Chen Si was brought to the clinic, Secretary Ma had visited him once and had a private conversation. However, the conversation didn't seem to go smoothly, and the outcome left Secretary Ma dissatisfied. When Secretary Ma walked out of the ward, his face was flushed with anger.

Before leaving, Ma Kang instructed the clinic staff to provide him with detailed information on Chen Si's changing condition.

Dr. Xu was just a physician, and he wouldn't dare to disobey the orders of a official. He had already informed Ma Kang about the worsening condition of Chen Si's leg earlier that morning.

However, Dr. Xu was somewhat puzzled. Ma Kang had so many matters to attend to, and in his eyes, Chen Si's injury should have been a minor issue. Why did he come specifically to inquire about Chen Si's condition?

At this moment, Ye Ling was performing surgery in the ward, and she had emphasized that the surgery should remain confidential. So, Dr. Xu hesitated for a moment and immediately replied, "Secretary Ma, rest assured, there's no life-threatening situation. He's already asleep. Thank you for your concern, Secretary Ma."

"He fell asleep so early?" Ma Kang raised an eyebrow, suddenly noticing that Dr. Xu's eyes were evasive. His suspicion was aroused, and he raised his voice several decibels, saying, "Dr. Xu, are you lying? What exactly happened to Chen Si?"

Dr. Xu didn't expect Ma Kang to see through his lie so quickly, and he was completely flustered.

Ma Kang gave Dr. Xu a stern look and walked quickly towards Chen Si's ward, seemingly intent on pushing the door open to check the situation directly.

Dr. Xu was startled and immediately blocked Ma Kang's path, his voice trembling but firm, "Secretary Ma, you can't go in right now!"

Ma Kang was on the verge of laughing out loud. Was there anywhere in Willow Village he couldn't go?

"Why can't I go in? Do you even know what you're saying, Dr. Xu? Do you still want to continue working at the clinic? Get out of my way!" Ma Kang narrowed his eyes, his tone turning somewhat menacing.

Dr. Xu's face turned pale, but he still didn't move. He hesitated, "Secretary Ma..."
