Chapter 1301
Before the others knew it, she was already on her knees.
Thedy looked very excited - she had already made up her mind to do so. When Anthea pushed
the door open and came in, she rushed over and knelt, almost in one smooth motion.
Anthea was greatly startled.
As early as five o''clock in the morning, the old chief woke up.
It was much earlier than everyone had anticipated. Besides, his vital signs were very stable.
Anthea checked him carefully and got him out of the ICU after she was sure he was out of danger.
Then she went home, took a good rest for two hours, and changed her clothes.
At this time, seeing the olddy acting like this, she went forward, hurriedly trying to help her up.
The old chief shook her head and said earnestly, "No, Doctor Lee, I''m so grateful to you! Thanks for
your wise choice. You sessfully saved my husband''s life!"
She saved his life and hers!
The couple with deep affections could not bear to part with each other.
Thedy thought that her husband would die yesterday afternoon.
Previously, she thought that Anthea, who was young and stubborn, had no idea how risky this
matter was. So she hated her. But now, she felt deeply grateful to her.
The sess of the surgery meant that she had cut the malignant tumor off. Before the surgery, he
could live for one to three years with conservative treatment. But after it, he might live for five years,
ten years, or even longer!
The madam, his wife, seemed to be very restless and excited.
But how could Anthea let an elder kneel before her? She immediately helped her up and said,
"Madam, this is the duty of a doctor. I just did what I was supposed to do!"
Seeing her like this, the olddy felt even more grateful.
A guard came forward to support her, and Amelie followed up.
Afterforting the exciteddy, Anthea went to the bedside and bent down to ask about the old
chief''s situation.
Two minutester, she stood up straight and said to everyone with a smile, "Both his heartbeat and
blood pressure are stable, and he does not have a fever. In addition, there was no reject reaction
and noplication!
"After the operation, he has half of the chance of suffering mild liver function disorder, which will
lead to bad appetite. But don''t worry, this symptom will be relieved in about three days. During this
period, he''d better choose food with little fibers such as porridge, noodles, steamed egg custard!"
"Okay!" The old madam nodded repeatedly and remembered them one by one.
A military doctor standing on the bed went up and said, "Director Lee, we were rude to you
yesterday... I''m here to apologize to you!"
This military doctor was Director Zack, who was in charge of the chief''s case. His attitude changed
dramatically.
Seeing that Director Zack took the initiative to make peace with Anthea, the other military doctors
echoed.
"Yes, Director Lee, we apologize!"
"We looked down upon you with prejudice and failed to recognize your super medical skills!"
"Director Lee, I was in a hurry yesterday, and my words might be too harsh. Please don''t take it to
heart!"
Yesterday, when Vincent introduced her to others, they greeted her with ceremony, but none of
them thought she earned her title of department director in their hearts. They secretly despised her
and called her little girl.
But now, they called her Director Lee with sincerity.
It undoubtedly showed that they recognized her medical skills.
At this moment of honor, Anthea was full of confidence.
She did not bring shame to her teacher!
The corners of her mouth curled up with confidence, but she was arrogant. She shook her head
modestly. "No! You are all seniors and much more experienced than me. I should learn a lot from
you!"
Anthea''s humble and sincere attitude not only gave the military doctors an out but also made them
admire her.
They looked at her with eyes were full of appreciation, thinking that she was a young, nice doctor
with excellent medical skills.
"No wonder Professor Zanon thinks so highly of her. She has great medical skills and medical
ethics!" "Though objected by all of us, she has the guts to insist on operating for the chief under
heavy pressure. No ordinary doctor can do that!"
"Honestly speaking, if it were someone else, he or she would have refused to deal with this tricky
case and have left already!"
"It seems that we should have more faith in the younger generation!"
One after another, the military doctors began to praise her.
Anthea smiled, two small dimples emerging on her cheeks.
The old chief''s ward was the best room with affluent sunlight in this building. The sunshine from
outside of the window shone on her, making her more charming. Her slender figure was as mature
and attractive as a rose in full bloom.
Her face that was brimming with confidence no longer had the childishness of a little girl.
Adam felt that his little girl had grown up.
As he listened to the praises of these military doctors, a faint glow of light appeared in his dark eyes
as if he could share her honor.
The old chief lying on the bed was still very weak. His face was sickly pale, but his eyes were bright.
Slowly, he raised his hand.
Amelie was the closest to him. She noticed it and
quickly stepped forward, asking, "Do you need anything? Tell me what I can do for you!"
The old chief threw her a nce but pushed her hand away.
Instead, he reached for Anthea, who was standing behind.
Amelie''s face froze, but she had no choice but to step aside.
Anthea took two steps forward and held his hands.
It was a pair of withered hands, like the hands of her grandpa when he was alive. She could feel the
lines on it. As a military man, his hands were full of strength and had some calluses from years of
gun use.
She smiled and said, "Chief!"
Although he had been a dignified chief for years, he looked very kind. Plus, he was weak and had
not yet fully recovered, which made him look more benignant.

His eyes on Anthea were full of smiles. "Doctor Lee, I''ve heard about what happened yesterday.
Thank you for your persistence!"
Hearing this, Anthea nced at Adam from the corner of her eyes.
She remained humble, her eyshes drooping, and she said, "I should thank you for trusting me!"
She was not being hypocritical, but she really thought that curing the sickness and saving the
patient was her duty as a doctor.
Bing a great doctor who could bring the dying back to life was Anthea''s faith and dream.
The old chief nodded with a smile. "You have excellent medical skills and great ability! I heard that
although you are young, you have done a lot. When you were still at college, you had been to
disaster areas all over the country to help. Also, in the years abroad, you went to many remote
small countries with the Red Cross and saved many people''s lives!"
"You''re courageous, and what you''ve done proved that you have the spirit of dedication and
fearlessness! You have a military bearing! When I get better, I''d like to invite you to be a military
doctor in the army!"
Anthea was stunned.
She suddenly looked toward Adam.
The old chief did not know her before, so he could not know about her past. Moreover, over the
years when she was abroad, she barely contacted people here because many of these remote
small countries were undeveloped and had poormunications. Only asionally would she
write some emails...
But Adam knew all of her life abroad.
Anthea was afraid that others would find her unusual reaction, so she hurriedly withdrew her eyes.
"Haha, that''s a good idea!"
"Yes, Director Lee is absolutely qualified to be a military doctor!"
The other military doctors all echoed the old chief''s words.
The atmosphere in this ward was lively. People were allughing and talking, except for Amelie,
whose face turned gloomy.
