章 46: Chapter 46 A heartbreaking encounter

Stacy stood frozen in the aftermath of the failed surgery, grappling with the weight of the patient's loss.

Her shock rendered her speechless and breathless, tears streaming down her pale face as she staggered backward, overwhelmed by a sense of profound grief and helplessness.

As the medical team swiftly moved the lifeless body out of the ward, Stacy was confronted by a heart-wrenching scene. A little girl, clutching onto Stacy's gown with tear-streaked eyes, pleaded desperately for her mother's life.

"Doctor, please save my mother. I only have 5 yuan, but please save her," the little girl implored, her innocence contrasting starkly with the gravity of the situation. She wasn't aware her mother had left her alone in this world

Stacy was paralyzed by the girl's plea. She was torn apart by the unbearable weight of having to explain the loss to the child.
