Chapter 916: Stubbornness issue

“Why did Senior Tao suddenly go silent on the phone?” Xie Wanying wondered to herself.

“Yingying, are you tired?”

Senior Tao finally spoke, his voice sounding very gentle, with no hint of any problem. Xie Wanying continued to reply, “Teacher Qiu is here with me to help take care of the child.”

“I’ve spoken with them, and I told them to let you sleep as much as possible,” Tao Zhijie said, “because the surgery you’re performing tonight is definitely going to be exhausting.”

“Everyone is working hard, not just one injured person,” Xie Wanying said.

“They’re not performing surgery. Those who do are the most tired. So Professor Nie is also very tired.”

“Yes.”

“If there’s nothing else, tomorrow Dr. He will accompany Professor Nie. You and Professor Nie should rest more separately. I’ve spoken with President Wu, and based on what happened tonight, you definitely won’t be able to give the health lecture tomorrow. We’ll have you come back to the hospital first. Tomorrow morning, Dr. Song and I will fly back to the hospital, and we’ll meet there.”

“I understand, Senior Tao.”

The junior sister apparently did not pick up any other implications in his words. As Tao Zhijie hung up the phone, he thought that her single-mindedness was really baffling, no wonder his neurosurgery junior brother had no way to deal with it. That day he asked her to accompany Nie Jiamin because President Wu was closely monitoring his every move from above, definitely not to let him just hand over his talents to other departments. How could that be possible?

After hanging up the phone, Xie Wanying returned to the ward and was sent to sleep by Qiu Ruiyun.

She was tired but couldn’t sleep well, her mind preoccupied.

Early morning, around five or six o’clock, in the emergency room of the county hospital.

Dahui’s Wife held her son to see the doctor, with Dahui standing behind her.

“How did your child end up falling like this?” The emergency room doctor examined the abrasions on the child’s body and routinely inquired about how the child got injured.

Dahui’s Wife certainly wouldn’t dare to say in front of her husband that it was her negligence that let the child climb high and fall, so she asked the doctor, “When will my son’s injuries heal?”

“Healing definitely takes time. Even for abrasions.”

“Will there be any scars?”

“It depends on how the wounds heal afterward. There are a few wounds that are quite deep. Anyway, go get the medicine, don’t scratch the wounds, and avoid infection. Didn’t you bring your child to the hospital immediately last night?” Seeing that the family was quite anxious, the emergency room doctor casually asked for the reason.

Dahui’s Wife quickly latched onto his words, directing her anger towards the doctor from the night before: “The ambulance wouldn’t take us, and that doctor said my son’s condition wasn’t serious. We waited a long time for another car to come!”

Upon hearing this, the emergency doctor realized it was a special case and explained, “There was a reason for that.”

“What reason?”

“Maybe the ambulance was transporting a critically ill patient.”

Dahui’s Wife exclaimed, “What if my son is left with scars and becomes ugly? Are you responsible?”

Whether or not scars remain depends on the condition of the wounds at the time of the injury and individual physique. The main reason to go to the hospital is to treat infection and prevent blood loss. If you didn’t want to use the disinfectant they initially offered you, watching your child more carefully on a daily basis would be better. However, the emergency doctor didn’t dare to say this to the family of the injured child, who clearly just wanted to blame someone else for not watching their child properly. He silently gritted his teeth and urged her, “You should go get the medicine.”

Dahui’s Wife, carrying her son, went outside and said to her husband, “Did you hear what the doctor said? He said we should have come to the hospital immediately last night.”

Dahui ran his hands furiously through his hair.

“It’s all that female doctor’s fault,” Dahui’s Wife sat down on a bench, gritting her teeth, “I don’t know how much money Wen’s family gave her to let their child get on the ambulance, treating our son like that.”
