She intertwined her finger and placed them on the patient's chest while she pressed her hands against her chest, she knew she would get into serious trouble if the woman dies but that was just her secondary reason for desperately wanting to save the woman's life, for her the patient's life matters more than anything else.

"Please, wake up," she pleaded as she used more strength in performing the CPR, she was just thankful that she didn't open up her stomach before the anaphylaxis or the situation would have been direr than it already is.

​​

"800 Volts," she ordered, the assistant did as she said and charged the pads then Yu Yan came down from the operating table and took the pads in her hands.

"Shocking," she announced and placed the pads on the patient chest, she removed the pads while the patient's body jerked up then Yu Yan climbed the operating table again to perform CPR, the rest of the members of the surgical crew just watched her with the same prayer in their mind.

{She has to wake up,}

She pressed her chest again with her breathing pace increasing...

Beep!!!

She raised her head to glance at the machine, she sighed in relief seeing that her stats have increased and she seemed to be back to normal, her tensed up body relaxed, taking a deep breath, she placed her hand on her chest and took in another deep breath, the surgical crew members were also relieved, they smiled as they fixed their eyes on her knowing that she was really desperate to save the patient's life.

After she left the operation room, she went straight to the team leaders office, she stormed into the office without knocking on the door...

"The patient...." she stopped when she saw a man and woman seating in front of the team leaders with a worried look on their faces, the woman turned to her with a very angry glare.

"Are you the surgeon who operated on my daughter?" the woman asked with a piercing gaze in her eyes as she stared hard at Yu Yan.

"Yes, I a..."

Thwack!

Her team leader widened her eyes in shock with her hand placed on the desk while Yu Yan held her cheeks with her eyes closed, her body had been so tensed when she entered the office but the slap made her entirely relaxed but---it hurts.

She slowly turned towards the woman with shock written all over her face, she couldn't understand what exactly she had done to deserve the slap, she stood in front of her with a glare authority in her eyes, at that moment she understood what the situation is....she is being mistreated by an influential woman who probably thinks she was wrong to have operated on her daughter without her permission.

"What is this about?" Yu Yan fearlessly asked, looking straight into the woman's eyes.

"What is this about?..." she repeated following a scoff

Thwack!

she landed another slap across her face.

"Madam!" Mrs Nanjing called to warn the woman that she wouldn't sit there and watch her slap her underling.

"Hey!" Yu Yan retorted angrily, glaring into the woman's eyes, she wanted to return the slap to her but considering that she is old enough to be her mother she held herself back with much effort.

"What...Hey...Hey, Honey, did you hear that? she just addressed me as 'Hey'" she complained with a wronged look.

"Mrs Nanjing, I am surprised that there is such a mannerless surgeon in this hospital, when you told me that she is from a middle-class family, I thought she would at least be competent, but it seems to me that she is very far from it," her husband complained, Yu Yan scoffed hearing them, she was now confused as to why Mrs Nanjing would tell them about her social status.

Does it really matter that much?

"Why, do you think you are allowed to slap every young lady from a middle-classed family, we are in the twenty-first century but it seems to me that your mentality still remains in the '80s, if this is about your daughter then you should be thanking me, not hitting me,"

"I should be thanking you, are you possibly joking right now? you operated on my sweet and dear daughter without her permission or her family's and you almost killed her on the operating table, you should be thanking God that you managed to save her just in time, otherwise....."

"Otherwise you will end my career and make my life miserable or you will make me end up like your daughter, which one is it?" she scoffed and tilted her lips to the side, leaving the other three in shock at her manner of speaking.

"You wealthy and influential people always have the same threat, it is always one or the other, you say I am incompetent and mannerless but you are the incompetent one," she moved a step closer to the woman.

"As a mother, I expect you to thank me for at least doing something to save her life in time but it seems to me that you would rather watch her die than allow a middle-classed surgeon operate on your daughter, I really pity your daughter for having such parents, I might not belong to high-class society but as least my parents are not as incompetent as you are,"

"What..." the woman mumbled, she couldn't believe that she just said that to her.

"Yu Yan," her team leader cautioned

"The same goes for you, the father is just as incompetent as the mother," she turned to him and shook her head, then she turned to her team leader.

"It seems to me that the guardians would like a private time with you, team leader, I will return when it is convenient," she glanced at the parents again with a scornful look in her eyes when she left the office leaving them dumbstruck.

As soon as she got out of the office, she scoffed aloud, she has been tolerating the stupid talk of class and status in the hospital but now she is just sick and tired of it, whenever she remembers that the only thing serving as a barrier between her and Chen Kai relationship is their difference in status, it infuriates her to the core.

"We are not even in the republican years or the ancient times, I am so sick and tired of hearing the stupid class talk," she gritted her teeth and walked to the changing room.

Meanwhile, the parents of the patient were infuriated by the words she said to them.

"How dare she try to teach me, I want her out of this hospital immediately," the man demanded immediately, he balled his fist and slammed it on the table.

"Yes, I don't want to see that lady in this hospital," the woman added.

"I am sorry but I don't think you have the authority to request that," Mrs Nanjing defended, she knew that Yu Yan must have been angered by the fact that they mentioned her social status and they even made it a reason to hit her but she might get in trouble for that since the couple is not to be messed with as someone who is on par with the Chen family.

"I am one of the investors in this hospital, I have the power to request that a middle-classed surgeon should be dismissed, come to think of it, this hospital is only meant for surgeons who are from notable and medical families to work in, the middle classes girl is only a stain to the reputation this hospital has spent years to build," the woman argued, ever since she heard of her status she had already been determined to evict her, as an influential person, she wouldn't invest in a hospital with such a person as a surgeon.

"Don't you think you are going too far with this?"

"Going too far....she dared question my competency as a parent and you say I am going too far,"

"I will not hear anymore, I want her out," the husband added.

"You might not know this but Yu Yan is one of the skilled resident surgeons we have in this hospital and her connections are very powerful, she is acquainted with the Ji, An, Li, Meng, families, the children from each family have close bonds with her and most of all, she is the goddaughter of the Jia family who controls both the Jia conglomerate and the Han conglomerate which is the most powerful of all," she couldn't help the situation so she can only use Yu Yan's connection to save her ass.

"What!"

"There is no way that is true,"

"Why do you think a middle-classed lady as herself was allowed to get into this hospital as a residential surgeon amongst others? it is just and only because the Jia family recommended her, even my family wouldn't dare offend them so I suggest you close the case and if you still don't believe me, you can ask the chief surgeon yourself" She ended her sentence with a triumphant smile.

She is also from a prominent family but she has always hated the class discrimination in the hospital and Yu Yan being a talented surgeon from a middle-classed family is enough reason for her to protect her.

"No matter what, she still performed a surgery without consent, thus endangering my daughter's life, she still has to be punished....this is the hospital's rules," the woman continued

"She asked for my permission as you were unreachable and your daughter's life was in danger, I also informed the higher-ups about this so she is not at fault here," she glanced at them both

"So you have no reason to request for her dismissal...I am afraid".
