Seline was stunned. Then, she lowered her head and said in a miserable tone, "I don't have any medical knowledge. If I did, I'd surely save his life. As the saying goes, God is always trying to save lives."
Not only were her words filled with sorrow, but they were filled with compassion too.
Hearing that almost made Suzanne laugh. She scoffed at Seline. "You've got such a kind heart."
Naturally, Seline could hear the sarcasm in Suzanne's voice.
Ever since she was young, all sorts of animals had died at her hands. Suzanne knew that, and Seline knew it all the better.
Subconsciously, Seline balled her hands into fists and did her best to hold back the rage within her as she pretended to be weak outwardly.
Cindy had probably exerted herself too much. She went weak and started falling sideways. Fortunately, Julie was close enough to her to hold onto her and prevent her from falling to the floor.
Cindy reached her hand out to Suzanne, then lowered her hand feebly. "Dr. Smith, please."
She looked as if she was about to breathe her last at any moment.
The people around them whispered among themselves.
"She's being such an unethical doctor."
"As a doctor, how could she not have any sympathy? Does she even deserve to be called a miracle doctor?"
"Exactly. How revolting."
Seline and Cindy shot one another a look, their eyes filled with glee. This was the outcome that they were after. They wanted to make an issue out of this so that Suzanne would save Kendall for the sake of her own reputation.
Nevertheless, no matter how well-thought-out their plot was, it did not work on Suzanne.
Suzanne got to her feet and made an internal call without any hesitation. "Hello, is this security? There are people causing a ruckus over here. Please take them away. If you people can't get this done, I'll call the cops."
Shock flashed across both Seline's and Cindy's faces.
Suzanne actually chose to call security and was ready to call the cops on them? Didn't she care about her reputation at all?
Looking dejected, Seline stared at Suzanne as she said, "Sue, I used to think of you as my role model. But that's no longer the case from now on."
