When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 45
âThis is the tonic sent by Miss Bush. It has been taken for testing and found no toxic ingredients inside. But after Neil drank it, he had a heart attack, Isaac said puzzledly.
âLet me see.â
Gina took the thermos from Isaacâs hand. Her sense of smell was sharp. She sniffed the tonic and detected a scent of alcohol.
âThereâs alcohol in it. Neil canât drink alcohol,â Gina said with a serious expression.
And there was quite a lot of alcohol in it.
Isaac was shocked and said. âThe tonic was personally sent by Miss Bush, claiming she made it herself. Neil didnât want to waste Miss Bushâs goodwill, so he drank quite a bit.â
At that moment, the door of the emergency room opened, and a nurse walked out. âMr. Gabriel, Mr. Jacksonâs condition is not optimistic. Youâd better prepare for the worst scenarioâ¦â
Then the nurse handed the critical condition notice to Gabriel for signing.
Isaac felt his vision darken. Even Prover Hospital, with its top-notch international medical resources, couldnât save Neil.
Couldnât Neil get through the danger this time?
Gina suddenly said. âDonât worry. Iâll go in and take a look.â
With her presence, she wouldnât let anything happen to Neil.
Isaac and the nurse looked at Gina in astonishment.
Although Isaac knew that Gina had saved Neil the last time he had a heart attack, he thought Gina had only performed standard first aid measures. But now, the situation was different. It was a critical moment, and the emergency room was filled with elite doctors, many of whom were returnees. Gina wasnât even a medical student. Could she really handle it?
âMiss Miller, youâ¦. Isaac was doubtful.
But the next moment, Gabriel said, âAlright, leave it to you.â
âMr. Gabriel, thisâ¦â Isaac hesitated.
âOkayâ Gina nodded. She was about to enter the emergency room when she heard footsteps behind her.
Then a deep voice rang out. âGabriel, are you really going to entrust my brotherâs life to this young lady? Arenât you joking?â
Gina turned to see a man in a suit, with graying hair. He looked a bit like Neil, standing with his hands behind his back. There was disdain in his eyes as he met Ginaâs gaze. He was accompanied by a group of people.
The old man met Ginaâs gaze with undisguised contempt.
Gabrielâs face cooled down, and he greeted the man indifferently. âHarry.â
Harry nodded slightly.

âGabriel, as soon as I heard about my brotherâs situation, I rushed over and brought along Ibrahim Rosario, an authoritative expert in international cardiology.â
Harry gestured to Ibrahim behind him. Ibrahim, with his blond hair and deep eyes, had been in the field of cardiology for over thirty years, and the years had left their marks on his face. He pushed his silver-rimmed glasses up his nose and said, âMr. Gabriel, to make it brief, please allow me to perform surgery on Mr. Jackson.â
Gabrielâs gaze was murky, and he refused in a cold voice. âThereâs no need. Gina will do.â
He didnât trust Harryâs people, just as he didnât trust Harry.
Harryâs face immediately darkened. âGabriel, are you joking with me? Are you really going to let a young woman handle it? Iâm afraid she canât even hold a scalpel steady. If anything happens to Neil, you will have to bear the stigma of being unfilial.â
âI donât need to use a scalpel,â Gina retorted without backing down.
Harry snorted coldly. âWho do you think you are? You have no say here.â
Gabrielâs face darkened instantly. âHarry, be polite to Ginaâ
Harry sensed the coldness in Gabrielâs eyes, and the chill made him uncomfortable. He detested Gabrielâs eyes the mostâ¦.
Harry snorted coldly, âGabriel, even if you stood by her side, you shouldnât joke about my brotherâs lifeâ
Ginaâs expression remained cold. âStop arguingâ
She glanced at Harry and Ibrahim and said, âI donât have time to waste with you.â
She took the sterile gown and mask from the nurse and prepared to enter the emergency room.
Harryâs face darkened, and he signaled to his bodyguards, who immediately stepped forward to block Ginaâs path.
Gabrielâs coldness in his eyes intensified. âHarry, what does this mean?â
Harryâs expression hardened. âI wonât stand by and watch as you make a joke of my brotherâs life.â
Ibrahim also put on a sterile gown, preparing to enter the emergency room. He scrutinized Gina seriously. He was amazed. by her beauty, but then he said in a condescending tone, âYoung lady, itâs best not to be too confident. Can you bear the consequences if something goes wrong?â
Gina was getting impatient because of Harryâs antics, which had caused a delay in saving Neil.
Gina flexed her wrist, ready for a fight.
Ibrahim, feeling ignored by Gina, became annoyed. Wherever he went, he would be respected. He couldnât tolerate being disregarded by a young woman.
âIâm talking to you, didnât you hear?â Ibrahim said angrily.
Gina finally glanced at Ibrahim and said, âYou should say that to yourselves.â
âYou!â Ibrahim was angry. Gina was questioning his medical skills.
He couldnât take it.

Gina checked the time. Twelve minutes had passed since the nurse came out to inform them of Neilâs worsening condition. She couldnât delay any longer.
She glanced at the towering bodyguards blocking her way, then stepped forward and stomped on their feet. Caught off guard, the bodyguards let out a howl of pain and jumped up in agony.
Gina slipped past the bodyguards.
Her actions stunned Harry. Regaining his senses, he angrily ordered, âWhat are you waiting for? Stop her.â
âWho dares?â Gabrielâs tone remained frosty, but in his low voice, there was an unbearable pressure.
Harryâs bodyguards were intimidated and caught in a dilemma. Harry met Gabrielâs gaze with a determined look.
Gina had already entered the emergency room.
Harry clenched his fists secretly and thought. These juniors intentionally opposed me.â
