Strange's words were not expected by Li Jie, and Christine had just explained the risks of Penny's operation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Jie touched his chin and said hesitantly: "Using Osborne's latest technology, it is not possible to use nerve regeneration technology? ”

Before Li Jie's words could be finished, Strange interrupted him: "New surgery is also very risky! Penny is a six-year-old girl. She is too young, and the younger the child, the higher the risk of undergoing this surgery. The higher the probability of failure, the less likely it is to succeed. And here it is, for me. ”

Strange turned to look at the crowd and said, "If it were someone else, it might not even be half a percent." ”

"That's why we need you, Dr. Strange. If she doesn't have surgery, Penny will have problems, and maybe she will live worse than die for the rest of her life. Li Jie tried to convince Strange.

But Strange is a very stubborn person, and he continues to shake his head and says, "Instead of having surgery now, it's better to wait for her to grow a little older, if she can grow to ten years old then the success rate of surgery will go up a lot." I'll go under the knife at that time, Mr. Lee. ”

"But Penny can't wait that long!" Christine interjected, "She's sick today, and she's just been in the operating room, and now she's out of danger, but she's getting worse and worse." ”

Christine, who was the last to come in, went to the emergency room before she came, she was an important doctor in the emergency room, and she got a lot of information about Penny's rescue.

Christine continued: "Her nerves have begun to shrink at an accelerated rate, and from now on, the time she can live awake in the world can only be counted in days. ”

Christine brought the worst news, worse than expected. There was no time for Penny to grow up and then reduce the risks of surgery.

"Please, Steve. Christine looked at Strange and said, "This child is running out of time, she needs surgery." ”

"No, you know the rules, Christine. "Strange showed an unusually hard-hearted heart. Although he was frowning and thinking about something, he finally chose to refuse.

Li Jie couldn't help but let out a sneer when he heard Strange's refusal: "What makes you so hard-hearted, Dr. Strange." This is a six-year-old girl who prays for mercy and salvation in front of you. ”

"You're the only one who can help her, and you choose to sit idly by?" Li Jie couldn't help but mock Strange, "For what? For your ridiculous 100% success rate? If that's the case, I can find a way to arrange a secret surgery." ”

"Performed in the Osborne Group's laboratory, no one knew that you were involved in the operation. If the operation fails, I will find a few cats and dogs to help you take the blame, what do you think?" Li Jie said with disdain in his eyes and unforgiving in his mouth.

"Of course, if you succeed, I will also help find a group of reporters to interview you, the Osborne Group is very familiar with several members of the Lancet, maybe you can still be on the cover of the last Lancet?"

Li Jie is a proper mockery, he has never liked Strange very much, since the first time. But because of the Osborne Group's cooperation with him, Li Jie maintained a polite relationship with him, at least on the surface.

But now that all is said and done, Strange still refuses to operate and operate. This is no longer to defend one's own honor, but pure iron-heartedness.

If a doctor values his reputation more than the lives of his patients, and even watches an innocent life die in front of him, Li Jie feels that he has lost the basic character of a doctor.

Li Jie's taunt made Strange very angry, especially the words that a cat and a dog replaced him, which made him even more angry. Especially when Li Jie said that if he succeeded, let "The Lancet" interview him.

This is even more insulting to Strange. An insult to personality. What did he think of himself, a slut who relied on his medical skills to sell himself and sat on the ground?

"That's enough!" Strange angrily patted his oak desk with a loud clattering sound.

"What do you know, what do you know!" said Strange, pointing angrily at the three men in the room. What he thinks is simply incomprehensible to others, and the deepest thoughts that he has been wrapped in a thick disguise.

"You think I care about this ruined honor? what's the percentage success rate?" Strange snarled, losing his former grace, pulling at his collar.

There are many reasons for his gaffe, Li Jie's ridicule is a point, and Christine's distrust of him is also a point. Maybe there was something else, maybe it was just that he was tired, and the more honors he had, the more things he carried. Tense nerves sometimes need an outlet.

"And what do you care about?" said Li Jie, who didn't give an inch back to Strange.

"Life!" Strange said a word that Li Jie would never have thought of. And this word came out of Strange's mouth, and Li Jie thought it was extremely ridiculous.

"Hah!" Li Jie did not hide his disdain.

Strange glared at Leejay and Christine and Thor, and said, "When I read the Hebratic Declaration to the medical book, I knew the weight of life in my hands. ”

"The higher your medical skills, the greater the responsibility you will bear! Criminals who kill people are guilty of committing murder, they kill people with guns, knives, drugs, all means. ”

"They will be punished by the law, they will be spurned by people. People will say they deserve it. Strange's face was an unusual flush.

"But the doctor won't! I knew it when I stood in front of the operating table with the lancet. I was granted a legal license to kill. ”

"The life and death of the patient on the operating table are all in my hands, I can save him or kill him. And there is no need to be accountable to anyone. I don't have to be responsible for anyone to kill any of the patients. Because it's legal! And even if you do kill someone, someone will come up to you and pat you on the shoulder and say, "You've done your best." ”

"You know how it feels? I'm a doctor, and my job is to save people, not kill people. Just like Christine did last time, injecting a brain-dead injection into an organ donation patient, I can't do it in my life!"

"Any life I can't save, I'd rather not have anything to do with them. I don't want my hands to be covered in blood, and I don't want to be haunted by those ghosts when I dream back at midnight!"

Li Jie glanced at Strange in some surprise. Christine, on the other hand, had known Strange for a longer period of time and knew more about Strange's sister.

It was a failed operation, and the surgeon was Steve Strange. Since then, Strange has refused to undergo any surgery that he feels impossible to complete.

While Strange was shouting hysterically, Thor whispered, "Coward." ”

He didn't suspiciously lower his voice, so everyone could hear him.

Then Thor repeated aloud, "Coward!" he whispered, pointing at Strange's nose.

"So you'd rather watch innocent lives die in front of you than lend a hand?" Thor didn't accept Strange's arguments at all.

"What so-called theories of saving people and killing people are just your fallacies. You're just a coward, look at yourself, look at you!" Thor said, pointing to the luxurious office.

"Look at the clothes you're wearing, look at the watch you're bringing (a Patek Philippe), you're wearing something that the average person can't afford to work for ten years. Look at the trophies and certificates in your cabinet, countless doctors will never get their hands on any of them in their lifetime!"

Thor's eyes were as big as Bronze Ling's. He was as angry as a lion. He walked over to Christine's side and took Christine's hands.

"Listen to what you just said? You said Christine killed someone, killed an organ donor!" Thor said, holding Christine's hands.

"Do you know how many people have been saved by these hands? Christine and I got out of the car together and rescued together. I know what she's done for the world. ”

"We galloped, galloped. Do your best for a glimmer of possibility. How many times have I seen Christine tremble from the loss of her hands. Look at this beautiful woman who was able to choose a happier life. But she chose the most brutal battlefield. ”

"No big office, no personal assistant, no big house, no Patek Philippe, no honor for the wall behind you. But how many people did she save? She defeated the Grim Reaper again and again in the war with the Grim Reaper, and let the death continue to retreat! Look at her hands, the calluses on them and the dilated blood vessels due to years of exertion are clearly visible!"

Thor let go of Christine's hand and walked towards Strange step by step, making Strange feel a sense of oppression that he had never felt before. Until the oppressed sat down in the chair. Thor stared at Strange with his eyes.

"But look at what you've done, are you really living up to your vows? Are you really saving lives? You don't, you don't! You just want to save yourself all along!"

Thor's words were like a sharp sword piercing Strange's heart. He paused suddenly.

"I've been reading nursing books lately, and I've been reading Nightingale's biography. She is known as the goddess of lanterns, and the modern care techniques she creates have saved millions of lives. But before that, she was called a murderer, because when she first came into contact with nursing, she didn't know how to do it, and she once made the mortality rate in the nursing home as high as 65%!"

Thor slapped Strange's table louder than Strange's.

But did she give up? No, she pioneered modern nursing and became the object of the oath of modern health care workers. Millions of people have survived because of her. ”

"The first day I met Christine, she told me that health care is a war, and that there must be losses and wins. You are delusional that you have always been a victorious general. But I'm sorry to tell you that I've been through more wars than you!" Thor's tone was full of determination.

"I can tell you exactly that there is no eternal winner in war. I lost a lot of friends in the war, and I haven't always been able to win battles. But you can never succeed without failing, coward!"

"Isn't there anyone else to choose but this waste?" Thor said, gesturing at Strange, who was pausing for some time.

Li Jie thought for a moment: "Dr. Otto, who helps the company study neurobones, I don't know if he knows other neurosurgery experts, let's go to him and try it." ”

Thor glanced at Strange disdainfully and said, "Live with your false honor for the rest of your life, coward!"

With that, he slapped Strange's solid oak table. The wide palms slapped against the table with a loud thud. It's louder than all the sounds before.

And as the sound fell, a huge crack was made on the originally sturdy oak table, and the five-centimeter oak plank could not be broken by humans with one palm. Li Jie noticed this, and his eyes lit up as he looked at Thor.

Strange was also awakened by this exaggerated force, and he glanced at the crack on the table and was not curious (because it's common in the Marvel world, isn't it?). He just asked, "Why are you doing this to an orphanage child?"

Thor didn't look back, "Because she gave me a reward that I couldn't refuse." ”

"What's the pay?" asked Strange.

Thor didn't answer, but Christine gave Strange a deep look, "Two pieces of toffee and a piece of fruit hard candy." ”

"What?" Strange felt as if he had misheard.

Christine shook her head and said, "You'll never understand, Strange. With that, she hurried after Thor.

With a peculiar smile on his face, Strange assured that it was the first time the woman had smiled like this in the long time he had known Christine. And she also took the initiative to take Thor's hand.

Li Jie was a little impressed with Thor today, and he showed respect to Thor for the first time. After getting in touch with Dr. Otto at the company, he offered to help Thor open the door to Strange's office. And smiled at Thor and nodded, "You look like a real man today." Dr. Otto's side seems to have a solution. ”

Christine took Thor by the hand and said, "Just like when you just held my hand, Thor, you impressed me." ”

Thor was confused by the attitude of the two, he just said what he wanted to say.

"No, don't. Is there some conspiracy between you two to do this?" Thor couldn't believe how kind the two men were to him. Christine doesn't care, Li Jie is the one who calculates him every day.

Li Jie patted him on the shoulder and didn't speak. Christine said, "Let's go see Penny, and then it's time for supper." What do you want to eat? ”

"Salad bar. I need to lose weight. Thor said.

"No, no. I think it's good that you're like this. Being too thin is not good for your health. Christine pinched Thor's shoulder and patted him on the stomach.

"Huh?" Thor felt himself hallucinating.

………………

Li Jie and the three of them drifted apart, and watching Christine go away, Strange had a premonition that he might lose her forever.

And the words that Thor had just said pierced his heart like a sharp blade. He sat blankly in his chair. In this moment, Strange felt lonely like never before.

He rested his hand on the oak table, which silently cracked in half and fell.

"Damn!" Strange cursed. Maybe Thor is right, he didn't want to save anyone, he only wanted to save himself.

At this moment, everyone is gone, and Strange feels like he is alone in the world.
