“It’s not that.” Deputy Director Yang looked to be in a fix. “Currently, it’s not just you who has been suspended of duties. Deputy Director Chen has also been suspended. You two should head home first. When the outcome of the investigation is revealed, we will decide what steps to take next.”
Su Qingsang pressed her lips into a straight line, and melancholy flashed across her attractive countenance. Since the matter had come down to this, she could only accept this decision calmly.
“Alright, I understand. I hope that the hospital’s management will take the facts into consideration and assert our innocence as doctors.”
“Doctor Su…”
“Deputy Director Yang, this does not concern just me, but all the doctors. We will bear responsibility for matters that we are accountable for. When it comes to matters that do not depend on us, we should not bear the burden of injustice.”
Seeing the grave expression on Deputy Director Yang’s face, Su Qingsang exhibited unprecedented determination in her attitude. “If justice is not served by reinstating our innocence and we are not treated fairly, who will dare to consult doctors in the future? Who will dare to trust doctors and moreover, who will dare to be doctors?”
“I understand,” Deputy Director Yang nodded. “Doctor Su, please head back home first. We will definitely deal with this issue as soon as possible.”
Once Su Qingsang exited the hospital administration department, she spotted Huo Jinyao hurrying over to her.
She did not expect him to appear at this hour when he was supposed to be at work. Su Qingsang stood blankly for a moment and stared at him in a daze. For a second, she did not know how to react.
Huo Jinyao took a few steps forward to position himself in front of her. He held her by the shoulders and looked her up and down.
“Are you alright? Are you hurt?”
“I’m alright,” Su Qingsang shook her head. “What brings you here?”
“I heard about what happened at the hospital.”
The moment Zhang Mei’s family members came to create trouble, details of it already spread on Weibo. Huo Jinyao was in a meeting at that time.
After his meeting, the news had snowballed, and the police had intervened.
He had seen Su Qingsang’s picture on Weibo and was worried about her safety and any losses she might have suffered. He had thus hurried over to the hospital.
“There was an issue,” Su Qingsang glanced at her surroundings, not planning to tell him about the matter here. “However, it’s all fine now.”
“Are you really not hurt?”
“No,” Su Qingsang thought of Zuo Hongchen. “Fortunately, Senior was there, and he took the blow for me.”
Upon mentioning this, Su Qingsang felt rather guilty. “Senior seemed to have suffered a serious injury. I plan to pay him a visit now.”
The edges of Huo Jinyao’s lips twitched upon hearing Su Qingsang mention Zuo Hongchen.
“Sure, I’ll accompany you. I have to thank him for coming to your rescue.”
Zuo Hongchen’s injury was major. Being a doctor himself, he had looked for some ointment to apply over his wound before returning to his office.
When Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao arrived, Zuo Hongchen had just seen one of his patients off.
“Qingsang, you’re here?”
Zuo Hongchen seemed oblivious to Huo Jinyao’s presence. “I heard that the hospital’s administration personnel went to look for you. Are you alright?”
“I’m alright,” Su Qingsang shook her head. “They just asked me to rest at home for a few days, that’s all. I’m fine.”
“What right do they have?” Zuo Hongchen furrowed his brows. “I’ll go talk to my father about that now.”
“Senior,” Su Qingsang stopped him from further action. “Since the matter had gotten out of hand and is under public scrutiny, it’s alright for the hospital administration to handle it this way. With that said, I’ll treat this as a break.”
“But…”
“Senior, thank you for coming to my rescue just now. Let’s just leave this matter at that for the time being.”
Since the family members of the deceased had reacted with such agitation, the hospital administration had to appease them and the general public with a suitable explanation.
“But…”
“I’m fine, really.” Su Qingsang shook her head. “Senior, your injury is not serious, is it?”
