True Love Waits novel Chapter 969

The woman widened her eyes in shock and asked in disbelief, "Where did they find you? Little young for a doctor, aren't you? I think you're pulling my leg."

While checking the patient's medical records, Sheffield took out his I.D. badge from his pocket, and showed it to her, holding it at eye level so she could see it.

If he weren't a doctor, why would he give a damn about her business?

There it was, as plain as day: Dr. Sheffield Tang, Nephrologist, Y City First General Hospital.

From his title, many people would know that Sheffield was the top kidney transplant surgeon. But today, he was facing an ignorant woman. "So you're a doctor. They made a big deal about you and made me wait for you to get here. I thought you were the president of the hospital! I want to see the director of your department! Find me someone who can tell me what's going on!"

At this moment, a woman's voice came from the hall. "So, you know he's a doctor, right?"

Everyone turned to look. A lovely, elegant lady walked into the room. When the woman haranguing Sheffield heard Evelyn's voice, her face stiffened. She opened her mouth but didn't say a word. The others wondered if she was biting her tongue.

Evelyn walked towards the woman and stared into her eyes. "Doctors save people's lives. I think people should have more respect for doctors, don't you? They're much better than the idle, lazy people who live off their parents. If you were dying and wanted to live, you would rely on the doctor's medical skills to save your life."

The woman knew what she meant more than anyone else. She knew Evelyn was referring to her son, but she had been put in her place and remained silent.

The doctors and nurses all looked at Evelyn with admiration!

Sheffield felt warmth spreading in his chest. For the first time, he knew the feeling of someone he loved having his back. He chuckled and said to Evelyn in a low voice, "Honey, it's okay. She's just upset." This woman was hardly the worst person he had to deal with.

Evelyn cast a reproachful glance at him. 'How can he be such a pushover?'

Sheffield wanted to mollify her. But he had more important things to do now, so he had to give up. "They'll need both dialysis and hemofiltration. Put the patient on oxygen and get the continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration machine ready. I'm going to check on him," he ordered.

"Yes, Dr. Tang."

The woman wanted to follow Sheffield, but Evelyn called out to her, "Nova Yu."

Hearing her say the name, Sheffield turned and said, "You two know each other?"

Evelyn didn't want to nod, but she had no choice. "Yeah."

"What a coincidence. I'm headed to the ward now." Before leaving, Sheffield glanced at Nova Yu, who fidgeted uncomfortably, and left without asking more.

"Miss Huo," Nova Yu said, playing with her lapels nervously.

Staring at her with sharp eyes, Evelyn asked in a cold voice, "How is Uncle Evander?" Evander Zhao was Nova Yu's husband.

"He... They say he has renal atrophy and the disease has reached the stage of uremia. So they're talking about kidney transplant surgery," the woman answered honestly.

Now Evelyn was certain Evander Huo was the patient Sheffield had rushed to the hospital for. "When did he figure it out? Why didn't you take him to a doctor before it got to that point?"

"I just knew it. You know, he can't speak. He won't tell me when he's in pain. What can I do?" Nova Yu felt wronged.

Even though Evander Zhao was mute, he smiled all day long, and he hid his feelings. No one knew what was going on with him.

Since his condition had gotten so serious, it was useless for Evelyn to blame anyone. "Listen to the doctors. If the kidney transplant surgery can save his life, do it."
