The Evans Disaster & A Slightly Terrifying Idea

A 'Routine' Appendectomy (That Wasn't)

The moment Su Yan and Lin Kai entered OR Two, the first thing they noticed?

Evans was sweating.

The second thing they noticed?

There was a lot more blood than there should've been.

Lin Kai sighed. "Evans. What did you do?"

Dr. Evans, standing over the patient, looking like a man whose career was flashing before his eyes, exhaled sharply.

"I—I nicked an artery."

Su Yan tilted her head. "And?"

Evans swallowed. "And now there's uncontrolled bleeding."

Silence.

Then Su Yan leaned in slightly.

"You. Nicked. An artery. In an appendectomy?"

Evans winced.

Lin Kai rubbed his temples. "Evans, this is a simple procedure. You could do this half-asleep."

"I was distracted!" Evans snapped.

Su Yan smirked. "What, thinking about how I gave you a C-?"

Evans glared. "Yes!"

Su Yan laughed.

Lin Kai, however, was already scrubbing in.

"Alright. Let's fix your mess."

A Two-Minute Fix (And an Existential Crisis for Evans)

Lin Kai stepped in, working calmly and efficiently, stopping the bleeding within seconds.

Evans watched, looking like he wanted to sink into the floor.

Meanwhile, Su Yan stood beside him, sipping her coffee through her surgical mask.

"Evans, you should really thank us."

Evans groaned. "For what?"

"For not giving you an F. This level of incompetence is a failing grade in my book."

Evans let out a dramatic sigh. "Why do I even try?"

Su Yan patted his shoulder. "That's the spirit. Accept your limits."

Evans was now questioning his entire existence.

Lin Kai finished the sutures, stepped back, and pulled off his gloves. "Alright. Patient is stable. Anything else you want to mess up today, Evans?"

Evans sighed deeply. "I think I've done enough damage."

Su Yan snickered.

Lin Kai nodded. "Good. Then we're leaving."

And just like that, they walked out.

A Dangerous Thought (That Wasn't Supposed to Be Overheard)

As they left the OR, Su Yan stretched.

"You know, Lin, I think we broke the hospital."

Lin Kai glanced at her. "How so?"

She sipped her coffee. "They're too scared now. It's not fun anymore."

Lin Kai smirked. "You saying you want to find new victims?"

Su Yan grinned. "Maybe. New hospital, new chaos."

Lin Kai chuckled. "You'd miss bullying Evans too much."

Su Yan waved a hand. "Evans is replaceable. There's a version of him in every hospital."

Lin Kai laughed. "That's true."

And then—someone coughed nearby.

They turned.

And standing there, wide-eyed, frozen, looking like she had just overheard something catastrophic…

Was Nurse Amy.

Silence.

Then—

Nurse Amy screamed.

"THEY'RE LEAVING?!"

The entire hallway went into immediate panic mode.

Hospital Gossip – Full Meltdown Mode

Nurse Lisa: "WHAT?!"

Dr. Patel (sprinting down the hall): "WHO'S LEAVING?!"

Dr. Evans (bursting out of OR Two, still traumatized): "I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT REPLACEMENT EVANSES!"

Dr. Wallace (emerging from the break room): "Wait. Are they actually serious?"

Dr. Carter (from Pediatrics, looking horrified): "NO, WAIT, WE NEED THEM!"

Dr. Miller (anaesthesiologist, sipping his own coffee): "If they leave, we're all screwed."

Dr. Monroe (standing in the administrative wing, immediately calling management): "Caldwell, we have a problem."

Lin Kai & Su Yan: Absolutely Unbothered

Su Yan blinked. "Well. That escalated quickly."

Lin Kai sighed. "This is why we don't joke in public."

Su Yan grinned. "But it's so fun watching them panic."

Lin Kai glanced down the hallway, where half the hospital was now in chaos.

Then back at Su Yan, who looked completely amused.

Then back at the chaos.

Then back at Su Yan.

And sighed.

"I am not dealing with this."

"Too late. We caused it."

"You caused it."

Su Yan took another sip of her coffee.

"And yet, you still love me."

Lin Kai groaned. "I should stop responding when you say that."

"But you won't."

And with that, they casually walked away—leaving the entire hospital in full panic mode.

---

The hospital was in absolute meltdown.

Rumors were flying.

Doctors were panicking.

Administrative staff were already drafting emergency meetings.

All because Su Yan and Lin Kai had casually joked about leaving.

And now?

Now, they were about to drop the real bombshell.

Management's Emergency Response (A.K.A. "What Do We Do?")

Up in the administrative offices, the high-ranking doctors and executives had gathered for an emergency discussion.

Dr. Caldwell (Chief Medical Officer, CMO) looked like he had aged ten years overnight.

Dr. Monroe (Surgical Director) was calm, but visibly stressed.

Dr. Hayworth (Head of Surgery) sat with her arms crossed, trying to keep her frustration in check.

And Richard Martin (Head of Administration) was holding a tablet with the latest hospital finances, looking like he was about to pass out.

Dr. Monroe: "Alright. We need to confirm—are they actually leaving, or was that just another one of their jokes?"

Dr. Hayworth: "I spoke to some of the OR nurses. Apparently, they were 'just talking' but…"

Dr. Caldwell (sighs): "But the fact that they even considered it means there's a problem."

Richard Martin (muttering): "A problem? If they leave, do you realize how much money we're about to lose?"

Dr. Monroe (rolling her eyes): "Yes, Richard. We all know you only care about the money."

Before anyone could respond,

The door to the office swung open.

And in walked Lin Kai and Su Yan.

Calm.

Unbothered.

As if they weren't the reason this meeting was happening in the first place.

The Announcement

Dr. Caldwell sighed, standing up. "Alright. We need to talk—"

Su Yan cut him off.

"No need. We came here to tell you something first."

Lin Kai handed over a folder.

Dr. Monroe took it, opened the first page—

And her expression froze.

Dr. Hayworth leaned in, reading over her shoulder. "…Contract termination notice?"

Dr. Caldwell immediately tensed. "You're serious."

Lin Kai nodded. "Our current contract expires in one month."

Su Yan smirked. "And we're not renewing."

Silence.

Absolute. Dead. Silence.

Then—

Richard Martin let out a noise that was somewhere between a gasp and a dying animal.

"You—you're leaving?! After EVERYTHING?!"

Su Yan shrugged. "Told you. The fun is over."

Dr. Caldwell exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "This isn't about fun, Su."

"For you, maybe."

"This hospital needs you two."

Su Yan tilted her head. "Do we need it?"

Dr. Monroe sighed. "Alright. What do you want? More money? More freedom? Just tell us what it'll take to keep you here."

Lin Kai shook his head. "You don't understand. It's not about that."

Su Yan stretched lazily. "Tried to tell you. The problem with geniuses?

We don't belong anywhere."

Dr. Caldwell looked at them both.

And for the first time, he realized—

They weren't bluffing.

They were actually leaving.

And there was nothing they could do to stop it.

---

Management's Realization – The Nightmare Begins

The room remained dead silent as Dr. Caldwell, Dr. Monroe, and the rest of the hospital's top officials processed the fact that their two most valuable doctors were leaving.

Not "threatening to leave."

Not "negotiating a better deal."

Actually, truly, officially leaving.

Dr. Hayworth exhaled slowly. "One month. That's all we have left?"

Lin Kai nodded. "Thirty-one days, to be exact."

Richard Martin nearly choked on air. "You're seriously walking away from one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country?"

Su Yan tilted her head. "You mean the hospital that's only prestigious because we're here?"

Dr. Monroe rubbed her temples. "Alright. There's no point arguing—let's talk about what this means for us."

She turned to Dr. Caldwell, who looked grim.

"We need to reorganize everything."

And just like that, the hospital's survival mode kicked in.

Hospital-Wide Adjustments – The Urgent Scheduling Shift

The moment the announcement reached the surgical department, chaos erupted.

Every major procedure, high-profile surgery, and complex case that was originally scheduled months in advance?

All moved up.

Because if Su Yan and Lin Kai were leaving, then the hospital needed to use them while they still could.

New schedule updates flooded the system:

✔ VIP organ transplant cases? Moved up.

✔ High-risk neurovascular procedures? Moved up.

✔ Complex trauma surgeries? Moved up.

✔ Experimental cardiac interventions? Moved up.

The entire hospital was now operating on a compressed timeline, as if trying to squeeze every last bit of surgical expertise out of the two before they disappeared forever.

The Surgeons' Reactions – Full-Blown Panic Mode

Dr. Patel (neurosurgeon): "Are they seriously scheduling three high-risk brain surgeries in one week?!"

Dr. Wallace (cardiothoracic surgeon): "We were supposed to have three months to prep for that valve replacement! Why is it next Thursday?!"

Dr. Evans (general surgeon, still traumatized from yesterday): "My schedule just doubled. I—I can't do this."

Dr. Miller (anaesthesiologist, calmly sipping his coffee): "This hospital is going to collapse when they leave."

Dr. Carter (pediatrics, staring at his packed schedule in horror): "I need to take a vacation. Immediately."

Meanwhile, the junior doctors and interns?

They were quietly sobbing.

The Surgical Board Meeting – The Damage Control Attempt

In a last-ditch effort, Caldwell, Monroe, and Hayworth held an emergency surgical board meeting.

The agenda?

✔ Reassign cases that Lin Kai and Su Yan would have handled.

✔ Figure out if the remaining surgeons were even capable of replacing them.

✔ Try not to have a collective mental breakdown.

It went as expected.

Dr. Caldwell: "We have to be realistic. Once they leave, we need a long-term plan for complex cases."

Dr. Monroe: "No, we need a short-term plan first. Look at the surgical schedules—half of them depend on Lin and Su."

Dr. Hayworth (reading the latest adjustments): "These high-risk cases were scheduled with the assumption that Su would be available for emergency intervention. Who do we call when she's not here?"

Silence.

Then—

Richard Martin (muttering, horrified): "Oh God. We actually let them control too much."

Dr. Monroe: "You think?"

Dr. Caldwell leaned back in his chair, exhaling deeply. "Alright. We'll get through the next thirty days, but after that…"

Dr. Hayworth sighed. "After that, this hospital is going to feel the loss."

And nobody disagreed.
