Viona accelerated her footsteps following Professor Frank who was no longer visible in the hallway. She tried to think positively on the young professor even though she was currently his sister-in-law.

When Viona almost got to Professor Frank's room, there was a sudden commotion from the direction of the emergency room, several nurses immediately shouted for the doctor. Viona, who heard the commotion immediately turned around and ran towards the emergency room. For her, human life was more important than anything, so Viona chose not to continue her walk toward Professor Frank's room. Viona came at the right time because there was no doctor on duty in the emergency room. Several nurses were carrying a woman who had an accident when she was leaving for work. The female patient was also six months pregnant. Viona immediately rushed to the patient's direction. 

"Doc, this woman is bleeding from her groin," screamed a nurse in panic. 

"Calm down nurse, now help me bring this woman to the operating room. This woman needs immediate action and please calls Doctor Lila from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She should be in the operating room with me," said Viona quickly. 

"Okay, Doc," replied a young nurse, she immediately ran to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology to find Doctor Lila. 

Viona, assisted by several other nurses, immediately took the female patient to the operating room. Viona's eyes could not be separated from the groin of the patient who continued to discharge reddish white. 

"Doc ...this is" 

"I know, that's why I asked Doctor Lila to come, now we are struggling to make this patient's bleeding stop," Viona said quickly cutting off the words of the nurse next to her. 

Viona, assisted by several nurses, immediately attached several medical devices to the patient's body. Not long after that, the surgery room door opened and Doctor Lila came to help Viona. The two female doctors tried to save a female patient who was involved in a single accident on the road. Viona waited for Doctor Lila to finish her task. Because Doctor Lila was an obstetrician and she was trying to save the baby in the patient's womb. After trying as hard as she could, Doctor Lila finally able to stop the patient's bleeding, she then gave a Strengthening-Pregnancy Medicine so that the baby could survive. As soon as Doctor Lila finished her part, Viona immediately took over by working on the other injured part of the patient. Viona performed a small operation on the patient's head, from the CT scan it can be seen that the patient had a collision with the glass in the car and left several pieces of glass stuck in the patient's head. Because she didn't want to take the risk, Viona chose to do surgery. She didn't want to make a mistake because the wound caused by the glass piercing the patient's head was quite deep. And because of that she chose to perform the surgery assisted by Nurse Tina who immediately followed her to the operating room when she heard Viona was taking care of a patient. One and a half hours later, Viona's operation was finally finished. Viona and Doctor Lila came out together towards the exit with a smile on their faces, the operation they both performed was smooth, the patient and the baby she was carrying were saved. 

"Fortunately, you were in the doctor's emergency room, if the patient was five minutes late for treatment, maybe at this time I will not be able to walk so casually, Doc," said Doctor Lila praising Viona. 

"I only help a little, you played bigger role on today's operation, Doc," said Viona with a smile. 

"You do not need to be so humble like that, Doctor Viona. I already know your activities in England several years ago. This hospital is lucky to have a great young doctor like you," said Doctor Lila sincerely. 

Viona only smiled at the words of Doctor Lila. When they were walking toward the exit, several doctors suddenly came from the opposite direction including Professor Frank with an angry face. 

"What's wrong, Doc?" Viona asked Doctor Lila in a half whisper. 

"I also don't know what's happening, Doc," replied Doctor Lila with a confused face. 

"I heard there was a pregnant patient who had an accident, how is her condition now?" asked Professor Frank to Doctor Lila with a serious face. 

"The patient is now fine, she has made it through her critical period. We just have to wait until she wakes up," said Doctor Lila with a smile. 

"Well then, both of you should take a rest, we want to see the patient's condition," said the most senior professor in the hospital named Jerry to Doctor Lila. 

"Thank you, please excuse us then," Viona replied with a smile. 

The seniors then continued their steps towards the ICU room, where the patient had been moved from the operating room on the instruction of Viona and Doctor Lila. When going to the canteen to look for menu, a young man and an old woman suddenly came to the canteen to look for Viona and Doctor Lila. It turned out that they were husband and mother of the patient who had just been rescued by Viona and Doctor Lila. The mother and husband repeatedly thanked Viona and Doctor Lila, being treated like that made Viona a little teary, especially when she continued to be hugged by the old woman. 

"This is our responsibility as a doctor, ma'am. You two don't need to thank us so many times like this," said Viona over and over when she refused to accept the food from the patient's mother who turned out to be the owner of a cake shop that Viona often bought. 

"This food is only an expression of my happiness because the two doctors have saved my daughter and grandchildren," replied the patient's mother with teary eyes.

"Okay, we better accept it then, Doc," whispered Doctor Lila softly into Viona's ear, she felt sorry to see the patient's mother begging for the food she brought to be accepted. 

"I will receive the gift you have bought, ma'am. Now, you better take a rest while waiting for your daughter to gain consciousness. You can wait in the waiting room that is available at the end of the hall over there," said Viona quietly, pointing towards the end of the hallway, which was a comfortable waiting room for the patient's family. 

The mother nodded slowly and she took her son-in-law's hand to walk towards the place Viona had pointed previously. After walking a few steps, the woman suddenly stopped and turned back towards the Doctor Lila and Viona were. 

"Once again, thank you, may God repay all that things both of you have done," said the old woman, lowering her head slowly. 

"Amen," answered Doctor Lila and Viona together with a smile. 

After the patient's family they had just helped went to the doctor's waiting room, Lila and Viona continued her steps towards the canteen to find a drink. 

"I am still amazed by something, doc," said Doctor Lila slowly, opening conversation while enjoying the jasmine tea in front of her. 

"What are you amazed at, Doc?" asked Viona quietly. 

"You were not assigned in the ER today, right? Why did you still help the patient earlier, Doc?" asked Doctor Lila seriously. 

"Oh that. I overheard the screams of the nurses who came from the ER when I was going to the Professor Frank's room. Out of curiosity, I finally came to Emergency Room and there was no doctor there so I quickly took action to save the patient," Viona answered quietly.

"So that's the story, I was surprised earlier and couldn't believe it when a nurse called me and said that Doctor Viona from the ER needed my help in the operating room," said Doctor Lila with a smile.

"Is that strange, Doc?" asked Viona with a smile.

"Of course, it is. Only doctor being assigned on ER should be the one treating the patient coming in, not a specialist like you, Doc," said Doctor Lila with a smile.

"Isn't it the doctor's job to save the patient's life even though she is not on duty?" said Viona quietly.

"Yes, you are right, Doc. If that's the case, where is the doctor on duty who should have been in the emergency room earlier and helped the patient?" said Doctor Lila seriously.

"Oh, I got your point.... I just understand what you mean doctor. When I came to the emergency room earlier, I did not see a doctor on duty in the room," said Viona quickly. 

"Indeed, which doctor has been assigned in the ER today?" asked Viona curiously.

"Doctor Ammy," replied Doctor Lila with a smile.
