Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 35

"Such a poor child…" Even Derek, with all his expertise, was helpless against the grim reality.

The doctors and nurses around Derek looked downcast as they saw his expression.

"Evan!" Zach was visibly shaken by Derek's words. He barely managed to brace himself against the nearby wall, his eyes brimming with despair.

Yolanda, standing just behind Zach, saw Derek carefully removing each acupuncture needle. She quickly moved forward. "Don't take out the last needle!" she said.

Derek's earlier attempts to revive Evan had already cost valuable time. Every second was critical now, and there was no margin for error. The last needle was placed at Evan's CV 3 acupuncture point, and removing it could hinder the treatment.

Derek stopped abruptly. When he saw it was Yolanda, he shot back, "This is an operating room! Who allowed you to come in here?"

It was one thing for Zach, as a family member, to be here, but anyone else could bring in bacteria and interfere with the medical team's work. Even though the patient had already passed away, it didn't mean anyone had the right to just walk in.

Derek had a connection with the Wright family. He had watched Evan grow up, and seeing such a young life cut short was deeply painful for him. Yolanda's actions only made it worse.

"You're disrupting our work here. Leave, now!"

Yolanda disregarded Derek's sharp reprimand. She went straight to the side of the operating table and started administering acupuncture to Evan.

When Derek saw Yolanda pulling out an acupuncture needle, he shouted angrily, "This is ridiculous! Evan is already gone. What are you doing?"

Fuming, he rushed forward to shove her aside, only to find that he couldn't budge her at all.

Yolanda didn't have time to deal with Derek. Evan's condition was critical. If the treatment had been delayed even another five minutes, she might not have been able to save him.
