The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1282

"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 said slowly, "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. He insisted on using the forbidden anesthesia. Although that anesthesia is effective, its side effects are strong. One of the side effects is causing the patient to go into shock and enter a long coma. It's what we call brain death!"

"A forbidden anesthesia?" Leia was shocked when she heard that. Unexpectedly, their enemy had been 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 this surgery couldn't be delayed, so we had to take a risk. Although it was forbidden, many plastic surgery hospitals used it in the past, but there were never any complications. I was just a mere assistant that couldn'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. I wouldn't have let them use the problematic anesthesia if I knew things would turn out this way. Please don'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 the assistant's crying, so she frowned and said, "I can give you a chance to make up for your mistake. Try and recall carefully if Doctor Snyder did anything odd. You're saying that he's very experienced and wouldn’t purposely use forbidden anesthesia on the patient, so someone must have ordered him to do so."

"Er..." The assistant struggled for a long time before she said slowly, "He did something, but I don't know if it was odd or not."
