Itâs difficult to find a job at a top-tier hospital nowadays, and she wants to stay at a good hospital without missing the opportunity to meet Doctor Hu. Besides, what does Xie Wanying intend by following Doctor Hu?
Where is Doctor Hu going?
After a long, long taxi ride, the wheels finally stopped.
Shen Xifei exclaimed inwardly: Thank God.
After getting out of the car following the person in front, Shen Xifei regretted what she had said earlier.
Looking around, it was desolate, surrounded by construction sites, and further away were traces of farmland.
In the outskirts, where itâs bitterly cold, why did Doctor Hu come here?
Doctor Hu walked ahead with her head down, seemingly not watching the ground, stopping at the entrance of the construction site, she raised her head as if gazing far into the distance.
The northern wind blew, already turning Doctor Huâs thin face pale and bloodless, her gray cotton jacket making her seem like a withering flower, an insubstantial figure in the empty wilderness like smoke, drifting away. Her eyes were vacant and unfocused, as if unable to see the world, unable to move forward, her brain sinking into some kind of recollection.
Footsteps approached.
"Why did you follow me?"
Hearing Doctor Huâs question, it indicated that Doctor Hu knew someone was following her.
"Afraid I might commit suicide?" Doctor Hu spoke with some acrimony, the tone filled with self-mockery.
Northern people are generally straightforward, famously frank.
Xie Wanying couldnât openly say that she chose to follow because Doctor Hu seemed to be in a precarious state.
"Arenât you afraid I resent you for reporting me?" Doctor Huâs words were dripping with sarcasm, possibly thinking Zuo Liang and the othersâ precautions were absurd and amusing, saying, "I guess youâre not afraid. Because it wasnât you who said it. If you wanted to say something, you wouldâve said it earlier, not now."
Regardless, Doctor Hu remained rational in assessing matters and people, knowing she wouldnât speak recklessly. Unlike Zuo Liang, who blurted out everything without hesitation.
Seeing the other party wasnât as unreasonable as Dr. Guan portrayed, Xie Wanying contemplated and then frankly said: "Teacher Hu might have some personal grievances against me. I can understand Teacher Huâs feelings."
"What feelings of mine can you understand?" Doctor Huâs cold voice questioned her, never turning her face towards her, possibly because she didnât want to be seen in her current state, or merely found even a glance at her irritating.
"If Iâm not mistaken, Teacher Hu recently had an ophthalmic emergency, a severe condition of RAO." Xie Wanying said.
Following behind them, Shen Xifei caught this news carried by the wind, stunned, hitting her head against the lamp post ahead, causing pain and dizziness with shock in her heart: Really? She wanted to depend on Doctor Hu, but whatâs wrong with Doctor Huâs eyes?
Finally finding someone whose personality matched hers as a pillar of support, but if Doctor Hu were incapacitated, where else could she find a boss to rely on? Shen Xifei suddenly felt anxious, thinking how could Xie Wanying curse an elder to be ill.
Doctor Huâs face remained turned away to avoid exposure, yet in the darkness, the expression of shock was unmistakably clear.
