"What?! Are you out of your mind?" the deputy chief asked while staring daggers at Chen Lihua.

'Not to partake in the surgery? Humph! What a joke!'

"You are right! I am out of my mind," Chen Lihua said as she still held onto his arm.

Seeing that she was not letting go, the deputy chief became angry but tried to defend himself.

"It's not like I crushed your glasses on purpose. And it even fell to the floor because of your carelessness. I didn't snatch it from you, did I? But I already apologized to you, what more do you want from me?"

"Your actions were done on purpose, and your apology was not even sincere," Chen Lihua said to him before turning to say to the Chief, who was thinking of a way to settle the issue.

"Chief, you have to hurry up and commence with the surgery after finding replacements. The deputy chief and I will not be available."
