Chương 26: Risk

"Huo Mian, you don't need to say any more. It's been decided, so just do as you're told. This is a task assigned to you by the hospital. If the official recovers well after the surgery, I will reward everyone involved with the procedure with bonuses and honors."

Against his expectations, Huo Mian shook her head and stood up. "Director, I don't need awards and honors," she said, "I just don't think I can accomplish this task. I apologize, but I cannot accept this."

"You are really a stubborn child, aren't you?" The director's voice carried a hint of dejection.

"Director, I'm only telling the truth as I see it. This surgery is far too important. If this were delivering a child or something of that nature, I might have been able to help. But with a neurosurgical procedure, I may just be a hindrance to the team. I suggest you find someone more suited for the task."
