Director Li was unwilling to give up. He said with sparkling eyes, “Ah, I really didn’t expect you to be so skilled, Dr. Song. It’s really eye-opening! Bai Yu’s father is the richest man in S City, and Bai Yu is his only daughter. If you can cure her, you’ll definitely become famous!”
Song Ning flipped through the medical records as she replied calmly, “What does my treatment of Bai Yu have to do with her father’s financial status? To doctors, all patients are the same. Whether they’re rich or poor, they should all be treated equally. Didn’t we take an oath when we first studied medicine?”
Director Li said dismissively, “That’s not right, Dr. Song. Although we’re doctors, we’re also human beings. We have parents and other family members to support as well. Of course, as a female, you don’t have such a heavy burden. However, your skills are impressive, and they’ll definitely bring you a lot of benefits. In this society, nothing is more important than…”
Director Li, who was beaming as he spoke, suddenly trailed off when he saw Song Ning, who had set the medical records down, looking at him with a faint smile on his face. He felt a little embarrassed.
Song Ning asked calmly, “So, what are you trying to tell me, Director Li?”
Director Li looked to the left and right before he lowered his voice and said, “Dr. Song, you’ve seen Bai Yu’s parents earlier. They trust you completely now. Our next step is to cure Bai Yu. Her illness can be cured, but the duration it’ll take to cure her is completely up to you, right? Isn’t that what you meant earlier?” Seeing that Song Ning was silent and expressionless, he continued to say as though he understood her thoughts, “We’re all experienced people. I understand even if you don’t say it. Don’t worry. We’ll definitely cooperate with you. However, please don’t be in a hurry to show off. You understand what I’m trying to say, right?”
Song Ning looked at the smug expression on Director Li’s face. She placed her hands on top of the medical records before she said with a faint smile, “I’ve only been here for a short time. I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean. If you have advice for me, please speak directly. I participated in this exchange program to learn and exchange knowledge, after all. It’d be best if Director Li can speak more directly.”
Song Ning did not wait for Director Li’s reply and left the office immediately, leaving him to ponder on her words. After closing the door, she could not help but sigh. There were so many filthy things in the world, and even hospitals were not free from them.
Director Li was obviously working under Yin Yi based on how he had tried to trap her at every corner.
Song Ning thought that the Yin family was truly ruthless. The more they acted like this, the more she was determined to protect Cheng Che.
…
Song Ning was worried about Bai Yu so she visited Bai Yu again.
Bai Yu leaned against the headboard with a dazed expression.
At this time, Bai Yu’s mother returned with an insulated lunch box. She was pleasantly surprised when she saw Song Ning. She hurriedly pulled Song Ning to the side before she said tearfully, “Dr. Song, thank you so much!” After she wiped her tears away, she said, “It’s been seven years, and this is the first time that Bai Yu felt pain. You have no idea how happy and excited I am. Dr. Song, you’re not married yet, right? You probably can’t understand the heart of a mother. If it’d help, I wouldn’t hesitate to give Xiao Yu my legs at all. Alas, that won’t help at all…”
