Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

With his eyes locked on Anna, Dr. Cooper noticed that in contrast to the male doctor’s excitement, she looked rather calm. She was so sensible that it was difficult for him to believe she was only in her early thirties.

“To be honest, I didn’t think you would make such a decision,” Dr. Cooper said as he removed his silver-framed glasses. His glasses smacked against the desk, and the sound echoed down the hall through the microphone.

The male doctor stood up again and said aggressively while Cooper rubbed his brow to calm himself, “It is possible to save two people if perform two surgeries simultaneously. Although there may be unforeseeable outcomes, it is better than giving up on the other patient.”

In fact, | chose to perform two surgeries at the same time.” His words sparked another round of discussion in the audience. The male doctor raised his chin and seemed keen on seeing Anna humiliated. Then, Dr. Cooper said something unexpected, “I knew the little girl had liver damage and blood in her lungs. However, the woman’s i
