Chapter 1790

Karina pulled out a tissue and handed it to the mother. "Please, don't thank me so much. It's a doctor's duty to save lives. I'm just doing my job."

The mother, overwhelmed with gratitude, left the room, and Karina stretched her stiff muscles, thinking that the ordeal was finally over.

Karina could only helplessly explain, "It wasn't all by myself. I had guidance."
