“It’s okay, this ce 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 longa. 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 imed that we were out of imported anesthesia and this


    surgery couldn’t be dyed, so we had to take a risk. Although it was forbidden, many stic surgery


    hospitals used it in the past, but there were never anyplications. 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.”


    “Go on.”


    “He got a call before the surgery. If I’m not mistaken, it was a call from Shirley, the famous movie star.”


    Leia’s eyes grew wide. “Shirley?”


    “Yeah, she’s a frequent customer at the hospital. She did a lot of fine-tuning these years, and it was


    always Doctor Snyder who did it. Shirley seems to be very close to Doctor Snyder. They spoke for


    more than a minute before the surgery. It wasn’t unusual since it’s normal for doctors to be friendly with


    their clients, but I found it strange when I heard their conversation.”


    “Tell me the details.” Leia held her breath in anticipation.


    “Doctor Snyder asked her not to worry about something. He guaranteed that nothing would go


    wrong…” The assistant continued, “I don’t understand. If Shirley had nothing to do with the patient,


    Doctor Snyder didn’t have to tell her the result of the surgery.”

    “So, it means that Shirley was aware of the surgery and she purposely contacted Doctor Snyder before


    that…” Leia took a deep breath. Reluctance hit her but she had to face it.


    She had to meet Shirley to ask her about the incident.
