All Chapters of My Father Ordered Me To Operate but the Floating Words Warned Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"Emma, get your ass back to the OR right now!"My father, Arthur Hale, the hospital director, barked into the phone, leaving no room for refusal.I'd just finished a 12-hour surgery.I sat in the driver's seat, so exhausted I could barely keep my eyes open.My grip tightened instinctively on the steering wheel."Arthur, my shift is over. I've already completed my handoff."Anna's covering the ER now. She's the doctor on call tonight."I tried to keep my voice steady.He let out an impatient huff."Cut the crap! A VIP was just rushed in, and he's in critical condition."Anna can't handle it alone. Get back here and assist her!"I took a deep breath. It felt as if a boulder were pressing down on my chest."I've done two surgeries back-to-back. My hands are shaking."Operating in this condition would be reckless."His voice turned shrill, and he didn't bother hiding the threat."Don't you dare make excuses, Emma!"I don't care. You have three minutes to get yourself into OR One."If you'r

The moment I reached the operating suite, the air felt thick enough to choke on.Dozens of mafia bodyguards in sharp suits had locked down the entire surgical hallway.The silence was terrifying.Every eye was fixed on the closed operating room doors.Marco Rinaldi, the Don's son, stood in the middle of the hallway.His eyes were bloodshot as he gripped Anna's wrist and spoke urgently."Dr. Hale, my father's life is in your hands!"Everyone knows you're the youngest surgical prodigy in the city."Bring my father back from the brink, and ten million dollars is yours!"Anna winced in his grip, but her eyes lit up when she heard how much money he was offering.Then Marco's expression turned vicious. Clenching his teeth, he glared at every doctor and nurse in the hall."And if he dies?"Every executive in this hospital gets buried with him!"My father stood off to one side, his face ashen with fear.He kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and his legs trembled.But Anna was used t

Still panting, Dr. Dace pushed past the bodyguards in black.He thrust the medical report on official ER letterhead toward Marco."Take a good look!"Emma has a severe wrist sprain with a partial ligament tear and extensive muscle bruising."She can't even hold a cotton swab right now. How could she possibly perform surgery?!"Marco's expression darkened. He snatched the report and skimmed it.The OR was deathly quiet except for the monitor's shrill alarm.Anna trembled all over, pale as a ghost. She bit her lip hard and kept trying to talk her way out of it."Mr. Rinaldi! Don't listen to him!"Emma must have paid him to fake that report ahead of time!"Even if her right hand is hurt, she can still hold a scalpel with her left!"She grabbed my scalpel with her left hand just now and cut the Don's artery!"My father jumped in too.He jabbed a finger in Dr. Dace's face and started yelling."Dace! How dare you conspire with Emma to forge a medical report?"You're fired! Get out of my hosp

At Victor's order, Dr. Nolan Mercer, the forensic consultant hired by the Rinaldi family, rushed into the OR with a portable testing kit.The tension in the room was suffocating.Nolan pulled on a pair of gloves, expertly drew dark purple blood from Don Rinaldi's vein into a tube, and placed a few drops on a test strip.Every eye was fixed on that tiny strip.In less than three minutes, two bright red lines appeared.Nolan rose and gave Victor his report, his expression grim."Mr. Costa, there's no doubt the Don was poisoned."The toxin level in his blood is extremely high. Nothing could have saved him."Based on the reaction, he was injected about an hour ago."Nolan's findings confirmed everything I'd said. The truth about Marco's father's death was finally clear.Victor shot Marco a cold look."Marco, what do you have to say for yourself?"Realizing it was over, Marco suddenly burst into hysterical laughter."So what if I did?!"That old bastard should've stepped down years ago! He

The pain made Anna pass out, and the guards tossed her into a corner like trash.At the sight of Anna, my father's legs gave out. He dropped to his knees in front of Victor.He collapsed onto the bloodstained floor and frantically begged for mercy.As he begged, he struck his forehead against the tile over and over. Each blow landed with a thud until blood streamed down his face."Mr. Costa! Please spare me!"My foolish daughter did all of this on her own. I knew nothing about it!"I'm the director of this hospital. I can make this right! I'll give you every share I own in this place!"Victor's eyes turned cold. He kicked my father hard in the chest.My father flew backward, slammed into the wall, and coughed up blood."A hospital director who treats people's lives like a game is nothing but a menace. There's no reason to keep you around."Victor drew his gun, ready to kill the greedy old man right there.Then I spoke up, my voice perfectly calm."Mr. Costa, one bullet is too good for
